VIENNA OFFICE

Haha oh totally all day today I’ve been thinking is it possible that it’s done?? I have to admit I did a little victory dance when my husband told me he got the email

He’s going to be sending his passport on Monday, and I think we’ll wait until it gets back because we want to book his ticket for June 20, but after seeing some people posting on this thread that they had mistakes on the COPR, I’m worried we’d run out of time if it had to be corrected. And the ticket prices don’t seem to be changing much so I’d rather not risk it :/ how about you??

Yes I am waiting too! However when the time comes to book the ticket, I am booking it for 2 days after LOL

I have a question... what is the difference between Police Certificate and Court Certificate???

EDIT: Never mind, found the answer myself. Different countries = different requirements/documents! lol

My husband submitted his passport today at the Visa Office in Pristina.

Because he submitted it before noon, they put it in the courier bag and it was shipped to Vienna today!

This is the status on the tracker:

Hi again everyone!

I don't know if any of you have noticed the changes to GCKey? Just logged into my husband's account today and the portal looks a bit different, easier to navigate actually.

My husband has submitted his passport to the VAC in Sarajevo to be sent to Vienna for visa stamping, along with all required documents and photos. Now, when I go into GCKey and click on "View submitted application" it has the two links for when we submitted PCC and Schedule 1, below it are new spots to upload "Passport" and "Digital photo".

Do those of you who recently got PPR have the same? (@ccanadian2017 @RinaMuhaxhiri) Are we required to submit the documents through GCKey even if we've now sent those documents and the passport to the visa office in Vienna?

Hey! Yeah they made some nice changes to the website, I love it!

And no this field is automatically placed there for people who applied from countries that dont need a visa to travel to Canada. So instead of stamping the physical passport they send you an Electronic Travel Document.

Thanks Rina! That makes a lot of sense

Use your primary residence details, vacations shouldn't be listed on SchedA as far as I know. If necessary, the visa office can make you fill out a travel history form too.

You can always include a letter of explanation detailing why you filled in the form the way you did. I had to clarify why my work address was in another country than my residential address by letter (I work remotely, but cross-border workers should also include a letter explaining this).

Remember, the person receiving this is also human, so as long as what you out on the form (and letter) is clear and represents the truth, they have the information they need.

Went to Fingerscan in Scarborough yesterday, service was good and quick, paid $44 including tax i believe. Now i just have to wait to hear back from the RCMP. They didnt give me a confirmation, but i did get a receipt and a file number so i will send that to Vienna if i need another time extension.

I believe I got mine within 2 weeks by mail at the address provided, but I'm not sure on the dates. Either way, it wasn't very long.

Though if there is a criminal record, I believe it can take up to 12 weeks to get the results back.
