Srinivas Vadapalli its so great to hear from you. I know a few of us have been curious and wishing you good news. Im under the impression that even when a decision has been made, we might not get notification for 2weeks. I hope you hear on april 1st that you had approval on March 15th. :)

I hope it will be a blessing in disguise for you. Maybe the new office will have very few applications and be lightening fast. Im so glad the police cert date isnt an urgent issue. I think it took me 3 months just to get that! Ha I wonder if anyone has traveled to one of the countries with...

Oh thank goodness. Thank you for clarifying that. What a relief! :D

missmini Heavens, closed embassy, I hope they end up sending your application to a FASTER VO if that is the case! Oh dear... my police certificate was issued 3 months ago... I'm guessing if it takes another month to send on to my VO, they'll be expecting new police certificates? Or does it...

Congrats guys! :) Just got off the phone with CIC. sponsorship is still "in process" and they say they can't send an email to the case officer until its been in process for a month (even though they started processing around 60 days after receiving it.) sigh This information might be useful to...

Thats such wonderful news! Thank you for the detailed account. Its nice to know what to expect and what our options are. Remember to sign up for a care card too! :)

Perhaps they are streamlining the process more and more each day, thus all the variation.

Oh! Yes, I think I am visa exempt.

I (applicant) and my sponsor have had access to eCAS since 2 days after they opened our application but still no sponsor approval.

That's such wonderful news kiwicanuck! I am guessing you are also an NZ citizen living in Canada with your spouse while your application was being processed? (me too!) I am a couple weeks behind you I think. Did you include photocopies of all the pages in your passport? I hope I have your speedy...

Dr Eng X I'm just curious, are you the sponsor or applicant? What's your VO? I dont see you on our spreadsheet.

I hope so too. I've been trying to guess his approval date based on the past 7 months of spreadsheets haha.

Hi Irenz! :) Yay July!!! That is wonderful news. I had no idea about that exemption rule. I just looked it upand my citizenship is also visitor visa exempt! LOL, I've had my passport in an international priority fed ex envelope awaiting PPR this whole time. COPR - thank you for that info!

srinivas.vadapalli Have you spoken to the New Delhi VO today? I am excited to hear if you've gotten approval yet! :)

It won't hurt to do that (reprint). I did. They ask to see a copy of your application when you cross the border into Canada, so I keep a copy in my car to avoid hassels. (I also bring my husband with me.)

Iacrossnation It took them nearly 2 months just to open our application. Until they open it there is no record in their system. I think everyone after 12 January is till waiting to be opened. Give it one more week and try calling CIC again.

My mistake. Yes, thats true. Marriage has no time minimum currently. Though they expect to change this on April 9th... where relationships of less than 2years will receive a probational residence rather than permanant residence.

I do agree there are a lot of problems with the system. I for one think open work permits should be available to all spouse applicants, not just inland... so that financial restraints don't keep families apart or impose financial burdons on those who choose to join their family but aren't...

Hi Dr Eng X :) I am confused by your signature "6 months in love" as I thought I read you are "common law" not married. Appologies if I'm misremembering. Do you know you have to live together for 1 year to be common-law?

Same here, we talked to immigration about an hour ago. Wait time was about 1 min, astonishing! We were told they are verifying that my sponsor has never received welfare, which can take up to one month from the date they start PROCESSING (not the receive date.) We were also told that no...
