Might take 2-3 weeks, but it really depends from what I understand. Etobicoke

Thanks! I'm sure now that the applications have been shuffled out of Montreal we'll be hearing a lot more positive news soon for everyone here, certainly before August is over.

They actually never updated our BGC progress. I can't recall when it started, but I would assume after SA. We didn't get any updates on the progress bars on GCKey in general, even after AIP and getting the interview date. In fact, even as far as yesterday, it still said they were reviewing...

Finally done! My wife got her COPR this morning. Timeline is roughly below: I applied for PR and OWP - CPC MISSISSAUGA App. sent: Aug. 14 2018 (Police certificate and Schedule A submitted upfront). App. received: Aug. 15 2018 AOR Received: Sept. 8 2018 Medical Request: Nov 16 2018 Medical...

Hi folks, My spouse has their landing interview in a few days, and one of the items on our checklist is the RPRF receipt. We paid for this at the beginning of the application. I dug up the receipt from CIC eservices, but it doesn't list what the money paid for. It just gives the total amount...

AIP was mid-May, got this letter just a few days ago, interview next week! Awesome!

Hm, I have a landing interview scheduled but didn't get a pre-arrival letter. Is that normal? Decision Made on both sides in ecas, but no updates on GCKey.

Aug 15 applicant - got DM on sponsor side last week but no SA letter. Is this normal?

Death and taxes... Just wondering if I should claim the Spousal Amount on my return (and whether we should bother filing a tax return for my wife). My wife arrived in 2018 on a TRV, we got married, and applied for PR inland. She's got no 2018 income but does have a (temporary) SIN from OWP...

Anyone filed taxes yet? My wife arrived in 2018 on a TRV, we got married, and now I'm not quite sure how to answer some questions on Turbotax. She's got no 2018 income but does have a SIN from OWP... For example can you even claim the spousal amount for someone that doesn't have PR yet?

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/facts.html I'm not an expert, but the above states that an eta does not guarantee entry. Similarly, your owp does not guarantee entry. Since neither document guarantees you any right to enter the country I would...

The OWP says it's not valid for re-entry so it doesn't guarantee you can come back in if you leave the country for vacation. You assume all the same risks as usual.

Updates: I applied for PR and OWP - CPC MISSISSAUGA App. sent: Aug. 14 2018 (Police certificate and Schedule A submitted upfront). App. received: Aug. 15 2018 AOR Received: Sept. 8 2018 Medical Request: Nov 16 2018 Medical Completed: Nov 19 2018 Medical Passed: Nov 26 2018 OWP Approved: Nov 21...

Anyone know how long it takes for cic to receive medicals? Just did exam yesterday. Does the status update to medical passed as soon as they get it or is there some in-between status where they say the results are submitted?

Nice, is medicals usually a requirement for them to start OWP processing?
