Yeah. And while you are at it. Get NBI too? Your birth certificate and CENOMAR in original copy. My friend and I got our NBI this month. I think you can only get it from Manila for this case.

 

[brille_sky]

Yeah true. I think we just somehow overthink.In addition their agent said that if anything, they always have access to their archive and will be able to look at dates of citizenship. Hope the best for your application.

thanks! gudluck on your application too... all the best !

No, you don't need to wait, you can link it now. For the instruction, you can follow these steps:

After you created GCKey account to link Principle applicant application, keep using that account to link Open work permit application on MyCIC.

===> I just want to comment more for this instruction:
- For (8): It is true that if you DON'T FILL CITY AND COUNTRY OF BIRTH, it works! How amazing it is!!! (#%*)
- But for (12): It depends on your situation.

For example:
- "Apply for permanent resident as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada" means your sponsor is Canadian.
- "Spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker" means your sponsor is actually a foreigner and he/she works here as a skilled worker.
---> It is very different from each other.

*** Don't forget to use Internet Explorer to fill the forms or link account to avoid errors from the system

Ok, perfect! Thank you very much!

Yeah you can send them later on but we processed it during the time we were doing our papers so that when the time comes that they asked for it we will just upload it right away. I sent my application last October 28. Waiting for my AOR.

Hi everyone
So I received my AOR November 22nd. I was not able to link my account until today November 25th.
I tried the first day (5 times) until i was locked out. Called a CIC agent and he told me it was a technical problem since all the data I inputed was correct.
I reported the technical problem using their website. 2 days later I got an email saying that the reason i wasn't able to link my account was because of a technical problem. I immediately signed in and was able to link my account
Just letting everyone know that if you have trouble signing in you could try contacting technical support

Have a nice weekend

Im at the shopping center, waiting for a long line to pay. But I just check my email, got 2 emails from CIC to say that I got a new message for OWP, i only can know if i check MyCIC but i dont want to check it on mobile phone. So nervous. Can someone please tell that did Cic tell you in the email or you needed to check Mycic when you passed OWP? Im afraid that they will refuse...

You can check your GCkey on the phone safely, I always use my phone with Chrome browser with no trouble. I'm pretty sure you got it approved, no worries! Mine got approved yesterday and we have a similar timeline.

 

[redpanda505]

Oh... I thought you passed lots of steps already hehe. Congratulations!

Oh... AOR here which means the 1 st letter that my husband who is also my sponsor received to get his UCI and same Application # as mine.

For CSQ, it is only for Quebec province. Do you apply in Quebec? If so, please tell me, I will share more my experience as well as police check here, it is much faster than other provinces that I know, only 2 weeks!

My partner hasn't received any correspondence yet and he is my sponsor. I am in BC not Quebec so that would probably be why our timelines are different!

I'm just finishing off the schedule A form and was wondering what has to be included in personal history?

Do I need to list schooling in personal history even though I've listed it in a seperate section already?
Do I print the form off to sign it and then scan it to upload to our application?
If I need extra room how do I go about adding extra boxes?
