[bieber123]

January 18th applicant,
Last night I saw on myCiC that they were reviewing my eligibility. This morning I woke up to eligibility passed, and ECAS says decision made on both sides!

Congrats! I'm still stuck to reviewing eligibility....

Hie, i have seen some post regarding changing processing times, some people mentioned its reduced to 10 months, where can you check this? Because when am checking on processing times at CIC, it still says 12 months. Thanks.

Hi all,

my timeline is in another post a few pages back, but ecas has DM on both sides, while PA got the eligiblity letter and sa (me) got the approval letter as well (most recent communication, wihch came on Oct 29)

However, still no DM email/letter...how long does that usually take? Why wouldnt I have gotten it yet?

From a steps perspective, all that is left is getting the DM email/letter, and then final interview?

Don't worry about it, I've seen other people in these forums who never got a DM letter, just straight to landing letter. And yes, those are the only steps left

travel question.
We our June applicants. Aor in August.
Mu husbane recieved his Open work permit in October and to celebrate i booked us a week trip to arizona. Now i am getting super anxious about coming back to canada. My husband has a valid visitor visa, Owp, we applied for PR. But that voice in my head is making me think "what if he cant come back?"

He never over stayed his visas no criminal records or anything. My only concern is could his employment effect it? He has a great part time job, but the job market has been poor in our city and he still hasnt found FT employment

Anyone traveled under these circumstances? Should i cancel the darn trip all together ? Any advice please!!

Honestly, no one can tell you for sure whether that's ok or not. It's up to the officer at the border and I have no idea what could be a possible reason for them not to grant entry. He does have all the documents and it'll probably be okay but there is still a tiny bit of risk. I've seen LOTS of people here who have travelled with OWP and haven't had issues. I have a valid visa, OWP and a job but I wouldn't risk leaving until I have my PR card, but that's just me! I hope you have no issues and a great vacation if you do decide to go.

Just got my DM email, now waiting for landing letter from Vancouver office, which I understand is a long wait right now

Just got my DM and SA email as well. Letters came from Mississauga office. My DM mail says Vancouver office will contact me further. Almost there!

 

[kprs_ind]

Wait for the email from them about paying for PR card fee, then they will inform you about a date to go there and sign the paper. You should receive the email today or tomorrow, normally no later than 3 days after DM. Congratulations!

Thanks, you are spot on!

I paid CAD 1040.00 when I submitted the application. Does it include RPRF (CAD 490.00) or should I pay it now?

Just wait a little bit, you'll received your DM anytime this week mine was 1 day apart on SA and PA APPROVAL (OCT29 AND 0CT 31) then by november 2 i received an email that my processing of my PR application has been completed and wait for the london IRCC to contact me to arrange an appointment for the finalization of my permanent resident application. Don't worry we waited this long how much is a week to wait compare to others who got 26 months and more to process.

congrats everyone we almost done!!!
