December 2018 AOR - join here

[vinay16]

Understood your point.. and will definitely check that thread.. Just couple of things..

1. If I get married in near future, there can be 2 scenarios;

(a) If wife isn't accompanying & my CRS score is above the cut off at that time after change in marital status, is it enough to inform IRCC about the change in marital status? do I need to submit any document? And will that delay the process?

(b) If wife is accompanying & combined score is above the cut off, I think we will need to add her WES, PCC, marriage certificate and all other relevant docs along with updated proof of funds. Is it right? In that case, it will require additional 4-5 months after submitting all the documents. Is this correct as well? Can you please share details, if you have, around this?

So here is the thing if you just had PR and got married and you wanted to sponsor your spouse you will be asked to show pictures of rituals etc as those are expected in Indian weddings and just having a registered marriage will raise suspicion. Search the forum on spousal sponsorship and you will see that.

I think even now if you get married and you inform CIC they will ask you for supporting documents and since you are not already married my best educated guess is that they will ask you for marriage proof and being from India just showing registered marriage certificate but not have any rituals may be suspicious and will seem like marriage done just to get PR.

I'm definitely not going to hide anything and want to follow only legal steps. That is the reason behind asking many questions. I'm extremely sorry for so many questions. Can you also answer above questions, if you have information?

Ah, in that case, from what I recall, if you get married and do not tell IRCC, it will not affect your landing or PR BUT it will be *impossible* for you to sponsor your partner because it would be a mark against you that you did not declare them/treated as fraud.

If you're legally married and you got married before becoming a permanent resident, you MUST tell them and update your application. If you get married legally *after* landing and getting PR, then it makes no difference to them. But getting married refers to the legal paperwork. My wife and I never had a ceremony outside of the legal stuff. Whether the wedding has happened is irrelevant.

To be clear, this is just my understanding from what I've read about other people on this forum etc and should not be treated as legal advice

Understood..! Thanks for clarifying..

Your changes in work after AOR are irrelevant.

My appointment is on the same date for biometrics.

Finger crossed

Hi, have a query. I have recently visited Norway (post AOR). Do i have to include/report that travel history to IRCC by any means? I guess this should not be the case, just want to cross check.

Thank you.

Hi, another thing is that my MEP was on 6-Feb-2019 and the Background Check says -
"We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

I am bit confused regarding the stages (i.e. IP1, IP2, etc). Could someone please say which stage i am at now?

Thank you.

Hello!
Finally got an update on my stats page
AOR:25/12/2018
MEP: 07/02/2019
Biometrics requested for both me and my husband (Jordanian and Pakistani nationalities respectively)

Please, when did you get medical passed update. I am asking because I got Medical passed update on sunday 10th February without biometrics instruction letter and I am from Nigeria

 

[lurdy]

Whe

Hi

I think we are travelling in the very same boat.

AoR December 28 here.
Employment type - Government.
Medical Furtherance - Sputum tests plus additional X-Ray after three months.

When did you get this mail, please. Does IRCC work on weekends

 

[lurdy]

My AOR is 29th Dec 2018 and I got a mail at 3am on sunday that my application has been updated. I am however yet to get the biometrics instruction letter. I am also confused if they work on sunday. or maybe it is due to slow mail delivery.

How come some people with AOR December 29 marked their medicals as passed during the weekend? As far as I know IRCC don't work on weekends. My AOR is Dec 29...waiting impatiently for updates...

Yes, IRCC might look at your LinkedIn profile but they won't make it blatantly obvious, of course.

Hey Guys, a friend who recently got his PPR said as part of Security and background check, IRCC checks people's profile. could this be true?

 

[Laumyl]

Short update: i ended up calling IRCC regarding the fact that my biometrics info show up on my page but i still have a status of "action required, we need your fingerprints" .
Very lucky only waited 16 minutes , and same as @derkdsou talked to a lovely lady, she took a few minutes to check the whole application then got back to me that everything was normal, and that the update in the system is not automatic so just down to luck, but my file was progressing. They have started the background checks (security + criminality) and she said that's the biggest part of the job. She said my application is staying in Canada not going to a local office because it was a very standard one (i decided to take that as good news).
In the verification process at the beginning of the call she also made a change for me (phone number) so i didn't have to do it via a webform!
So ok, nothing exciting, but my file is not hidden somewhere it is (albeit slowly) being processed which is a relief, and now... back to waiting !
Wanted to end this on a haiku... but inspiration's gone!

Friends,
Monday blues turned into Monday Rainbows. Got PPR today at 7.30am ET hours. They have asked to submit passport to Ottawa office even though I am based in US. Will be sending them a email to possibly change it to US Visa office address in East coast.
Good luck to all for processing on their applications.
Experts - Can we ask for change in passport submission location? Please let me know
Thank you

Wow! Congratulations on your PPR! You seem to be the first among December AOR's to receive the golden email. Hope it's a good sign for all of us.
