On the letter it says I need from where I live and from where I spent most of my adult life since I was 18. They changed the rules. But the place I've spent the most is canada so I'm very confused.

I was in a similar boat. I've been in Canada since 18 and haven't spent >6 months anywhere else. And Canada has been both: (i) where I currently live, and (ii) where I spent most my adult life. So I had no other PCCs to provide at all. So I decided to get the RCMP one anyway and submit it. But that was before I knew they actually didn't need a Canadian one.
If you have no other PCCs you need to get, just upload an explanation letter in the place of the PCC explaining why.
If you do have other countries where you spent >6 months, I guess you should have their PCCs handy just in case. I know they changed the rules now from '>6 months' to 'where you spent most your adult life', but it's better to be prepared anyway. Depends on what those countries are and if the process to get their PCCs is fast and simple or not.

I have a question - I received today an email for my sponsor's name, which looked kind of like AOR, giving him different UCI, but the same file number as in the original AOR (which I received yesterday).. we can only log in with it in ECAS, it just shows the application status. What do we do with it? I thought there will be only one case/file and one account...

Yes, so the main AOR email of importance is yours (the one for the PA). You use the PA details to link and create an online account. The second AOR email is for the sponsor, and that contains their own unique UCI and your file number. And yes, the sponsor info is only to be able to access eCAS. It's lesser important and you don't need to create a second MyCIC account or anything with that info, since the Sponsor isn't require to provide any more detail or do a medical etc. So the ecas is just there to monitor things. The sponsor ecas will update when the sponsor receives the SA (sponsorship approval).

Hi Everyone))) Somebodies got Final decision at this year? Or not? Inland case.

We have a few Dec 2016 applicants who've already landed, and also some January applicants, plus I know of a March applicant who landed. Check the spreadsheet for more detail (in my signature)

ECAS says application receive on March 3, but when I call to check my application status it says April 18, does anyone have an idea why they are different.

I sent off my inland spouse pr application on Friday (8/dec/17), it should arrive at the Mississauga case processing centre on Monday (11/dec/17).

However, I've done something very silly

For the following application forms:

IMM 5533 - Check list
IMM 1344 - Application to sponsor
IMM 0008 - Generic Application
IMM 5710 - Open work permit.

I've used the June 2017 application pack because I downloaded them in September. I had no idea they had been updated.

The only notification I kept seeing was:

"We’ve improved this application package based on your feedback.
As of June 13th, 2017, revised guides and checklists are now available below."

That is until I double check something this morning using the 'country specific requirement' tool and saw that they had been updated in October 2017.


Is there anything I can do to prevent my application being returned to me?
Can I resubmit the updated application forms on their own?

Thank you!

Hi guys I need some help.

My application was received on september 22, 2017 together with an OPW.
I linked my PR application in November 24th.
So now I was wondering why I never got any messages about the OWP.
And then I figuered out, that I have have to link the OWP too. So I just did that, and it says the application is submittet and in process...
My question is, as I just linked it right now, december 10, is that gonna delay my process for OWP as I didnt done it before?
I hope not.
Because my visitor visa is gonna expire in a week. I was hoping to get the OWP before my visitor Visa expires...
Do I need to extend my Visitor Visa if I dont get the OWP before expiring date?

IRCC will send your application back asking you to use the revised version so your application will be on the next queue when you resend it. At the moment you cannot do anything about it.

As long as you have a valid temporary visa, you can apply for a US visa from any US consulate in Canada.
