Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[andrew-brit]

I actually have myself 2 jobs, a full time job starting Monday and a part time job starting tonight. I get paid quite well in my day job so I might give up the p/t one but I have been doing nothing for nearly 2 years so I want to get good use of my PR!

I didn't get a flag either. I also wasn't asked for a utility bill (not that I have one, but took my cheque book for a local bank with my name and address on each cheque).

Finally! Congratulations, now you can leave rainy Scotland and come to cold Canada! Spreadsheet updated.

thanks!!

Hiya - does anybody know if ECAS is updates with a note to say when COPR has been sent out?

Hello everyone,

We've been busy collecting additional 'proof of commitment' for CIC, with the aid of our lawyer.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get a response from the Immigration Officer once additional proof is sent?

Thank you!

Thank you!

For my additional information supporting the legitimacy of the marriage, it took them 3 months.

Spreadsheet update:

SA received 11th January - processing office is Ottawa (looks like only one application on the spreadsheet has been sent there since May. I'm of course trying to work out whether this is a good or bad (if either!) thing for our processing time. Anyone have any thoughts?)

No AOR received but I tried logging in with my UCI on 7th January as I already had one and it worked. I suspect it was there before though (I had been trying to check using 'UK and colonies' rather than 'England' as my country)

Also a correction for the spreadsheet. My medical was May not March (date is right though).

Thanks!

Congrats on the SA! My application is also being processed in Ottawa, I applied in April 2015. I am not feeling too positive about Ottawa right now as nearly everyone after me who went to London has been processed and I am still waiting. But I don't see London being this fast at processing applications forever so maybe they will slow down and it will turn into a good thing for you. Good luck

mine didn't. If i log in now it still says Decision made. Haven't even changed the address on ecas, and i requested that change in August, but they did send the Corp to Canada. So as we all know ecas is not the most reliable source of information.

He had a few jobs lined up but as we both know London took so long he had to decline. Now back to looking. He's been here since August so he wants to get back to work . I'm keeping him busy at home. Now that we are staying we can do the renos to the house that i wanted to do before. I feel such a relief before i existed in my house , just doing things to sell it ,but now with PR i feel its a home again.

I did make an address change the day before I received DM. They updated it so that my mailing address was my old address and my current address as my new address.

COPR has not been received at either address yet - but I'm starting to think that this timing coincidence has caused the hold up?

I have emailed them as an 'Urgent' message as my new employer needs to know my situation asap so that we can start making concrete plans, or I risk losing the opportunity - but, of course, no reply. I feel helpless.

Now I am starting to think that maybe I don't have DM? When I go to Ecas it says 'Decision Made' but when I click on 'Decision Made' it doesn't say 'A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision'.

Could someone who has their COPR please tell me what it says on theirs?

 

[taffy7]

I'm SURE YOU HAVE dm . mine don't say anything like that ,even now we have landed. You know what they are like they do things different all the time depends who's issuing you the corp . Some people receive that message some don't.

Just to let you know I have copr in UK and will be landing next week. So relieved. To sausage boy mine said exactly the same as yours and mine came ok
