I did it again! I saw your name and thought, COPR!
awww that is sooooo sweet :D Maybe by the time my husband visits me it will change to DM. I was hoping to have it early, as it is our 2nd wedding anniversary at the end of the month, which is cotton, so I was going to get Decision Made embroidered onto a Cotton Hanky and give him the plane tickets...but I am beginning to think I will have to run to the mall late and buy him socks instead...

FINALLY our application has gone to "Decision Made" on ECAS, this is GOOD news, right? I mean, if there were bad news they would have emailed us, right?

If good news, SO relieved!

I'll update you - we had to lock the spreadsheet as a troll was coming to delete all the information (twice, in 2 weeks interval...)
But congrats again!!

Well today I got a GREAT email:

March 8, 2013


Dear Katelyn xxxx,


This is to acknowledge receipt of your request submitted pursuant to the Access to Information Act, which was received on March 6, 2013, for Owen xxx's permanent residency application notes.

I regret to inform you that we are unable to process your request for the following reason:

Documents are illegible to read. Please follow the guidelines outlined on the CIC website on what formats are acceptable for submission and resubmit your application.

Please submit the requested information to our office by either mail at the address listed at the top of this letter or by email at ATIP-AIPRP @ cic.gc.ca. Ensure to quote your file number on future correspondences.

Sincerely,


ATIP Officer

All because ONE of the pages was scanned in UPSIDE DOWN. Honestly... are they even TRYING to work over there?!?

So I rescanned EVERYTHING at high quality and sent it back this evening. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I don't think it will slow your application down, but you might get DM by the time you get the notes. I am sure someone on here recently just got their notes and they thought that maybe by ordering them it had kind of pushed their application along a bit as a reminder it was sitting there, or maybe that was the August thread :-\ Anyway, it wouldnt hurt and only costs $5, or free if you are in Canada
Are they free if you are in Canada?? If so they owe me $5! lol

I cant seem to find where it says that... just this:
Requests made pursuant to the Access to Information Act can be sent by e-mail if you have:

Completed, signed and dated your request;
Scanned your request; and
Paid the $5.00 application fee using the online payment service.
You can send your scanned request form and supporting documents (in JPG, TIFF or PDF format) to ATIP-AIPRP@cic.gc.ca.

or

If you are paying the application fee by cheque or money order, you must send your request by regular mail to the following address:

Access to Information and Privacy Division
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 1L1

if you're in Canada and ordering your own notes, yes they are free, as you have a right to access your own information anytime.
See here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp
Good luck!

In my experience it didnt take 4 months... we got our first set of extra documents requested Jan 21st and the second set mid Feb and both said may take 4 months and we now have decision made! I think they just get a thrill out of causing panic!!!!!
