Dont think abt too much it will update after you get your interview. Same as mine. Congraz...

Maybe I am just excited haha. Have you finished your landing interview? I checked the inland google sheet and no landing interviews yet for Vancouver aside from 1 or 2 names.

I already got my PR last week. Lol still waiting for the PR card to be mailed tho. Dont worry abour the rest. You will get there as you are already approved. Now its the matter of time when you will actually get approved. I even updated mt SIN number so i no longer need a work permit or whatsoever or being put an expiry date on my SIN.

I have my landing interview coming up day after tomorrow.
Jan 30th applicant.

Can someone let me know how they prepared for the interview? Sounds like it only takes 10 to 15 mins - but what are the kind of questions asked?
Anything that we may not know and need to prepare for?

My only concern is that I'm not great with dates, and if they take us to separate rooms and grill us, the days may be off but a hair here and there.

Thanks!

Just received a call at the home phone from the immigration office. Neither me or the wife was at home. They just confirmed that my wife lives there and that the address on file was up to date. Has that happened to anyone else here?

I've had sponsor approval for almost a month now, ECAS says DM, but no word on PA approval? I'm an Jan 28th applicant. Is this normal?

They sent it to my address in the Netherlands. I'm not sure how they do it when you live outside NL but I assume they will send it to your address in Canada.

ok thanks.. i have sent them an email for pdf copy as well..lets see

Is the 1 year prior proof of cohabitation required for married couple too? - Requirements are something you should have checked before applying. Just type in google cic requirements for PR and i can assure you the answer is there. I got my PR through common law so im not sure about the marriage. The reason i replied to your post was because along the process we were asked for the proof of cohabitation as well and I did tons of research on cic website at the time.
Whatever you printed off internet (statements), they are good as long as they have the address (for proving cohabitation). Just remember that claiming that you have been living together from a certain date does not have value in the eyes of immigration if you don't have any proof of what you claim.
Regarding to bank statements - my partner and i both use Tangerine bank which is completely paperless but we were still able to print off statements (With our Address) starting from when the accounts were created - so check with your bank. Im sure they are creating statements for you even if you've requested everything to be paperless.
Regards to what to send them as proof - try to look for anything that you have received through mail to your common address in August 2018 when you claim to have started cohabiting.

Thanks for your reply, I did print all stats by print option in online banking, from each month from time application was sent,cic asks for proof of cohabitation from time you applied for married couples, but we were trusting our lawyer blindly didnt even collect proof,
For reapplying if you don't have work permit or identity document from canada as I'm still a visitor, how do you put utility Bill's on your name, I called internet company and they want govt I'd or din number that I dont have.. I'm yet on implied status as my visitir extension is in process, can I apply for Ontario photo Id while on implied status? Mybe after that I can put bill on my name?

You can go to bank and take your estatement print outs with you. And ask them to stamp it for you. They will do it free of cost. This will make your bank statements more reliable.

That's a really good idea, we are also applying for driving license, will give receipt of drivers license exam and also scanned credit card of my husband and my supplementary.
Should we contact our MP? Wonder if he can attest we live together?

How do people have Bills on their names as visitors if dont have work permit? Or any identification document?. What documents do you guys had to have a utility bill on your name?
Could we get SIN number without workpermit or any ID

I was on work permit status when we sent our application. For the proof of cohabitation try to include everything that shows you both live at same address. It could be anything like online order receipts. You and your husband can write a letter and go to notary and get it notarised stating you both live together.
And why didn’t you apply for OWP with your Sponsorship application???

Our lawyer delayed it to a point that I had to apply for visitor extension, and you can not apply on implied status for work permit, I did include my online receipt with my name and address, looks like its just utility bill or rent agreement that they wanted, i dont know if i can get utility bill as of now as visitor without owp, or if 1 month bill will do anything
