Hello everybody

I am truck driver and drive to united states .. my trips to there 2 to 3 days .. my question is that cic doesn’t count those days? The days i ll be there even doing up and down to there ?
You have to enter those trips into the calculator and it will tell you if they are "counted" as a "in-Canada" or "out of Canada" days.

Basically:
1) If you cross the border into the USA at noon on Monday and return to Canada at noon the next Tuesday - You count both days as "In Canada"
2) If you cross the border into the USA at noon on Monday and return to Canada at noon the next Wednesday - You count 2 days as "In Canada" [Monday & Wednesday] and one as "Out of Canada" [Tuesday].
3) Even simpler -- if you are in Canada for 1 minute in a day, it counts as a full day.

Hi there,

I checked ECAS and now it says "In Process". "We started processing your application on January 30, 2018."

Any chance to know what office is processing my application? I am from Toronto. Hopefully, my application doesn't sit there collecting dust.
All the best.

My AOR was received on 19th Jan 2018, however Ecas says 20th Jan 2018. Don't know how that worked out, but all good as long as there is an AOR.

Where is the posts?
Saw it - when we found that the photogrpaher would cost $80 for four of us I rand CIC and after 42 minutes managed to get through. They said photos don't need to be dome at studio - just the size and quality plus name of person who took it, date taken, full name of each person on the back, 2 photos. They say I can do this with same photos and send back after signing for option 1

Hopefully we’ll received our AOR anytime soon. :(
i have called CIC today to find out why is that I did not receive the AOR as I see others for the same date have received, and the response was that its very early to receive for the same date. but ideally its max 2 months by when it should be expected to receive the AOR and if not then call back us, he wants me to wait for another 2 days to 1 week to get the AOR. Fingers crossed.
