adzees, Thank you for your answer. jhjeppe, I did add you on facebook :) I don't mind if others add me either, please put a personal message in the add so I know you are from this forum! :) http://facebook.com/lemonsrock CEC, Welcome! :)

Welcome, jhjeppe! I sent my app in only a few days after you. We are all anxious and awaiting some kind of news. :) Love_Young, I heard it is OK to leave the country if you are from a visa-exempt place like the U.S. once your application is done, but if you don't have your PR card it is best to...

This is awful. I was expecting a letter from the states, it's postmarked June 9th and I just got it the other day. I hope you guys get your PR applications and stuff delivered on top and safely. Hopefully it won't take them too long to catch up on their backlogged mail. Good Luck!!

That is great news! Congratulations.

I am so glad to hear you guys are getting results. I am getting excited too, I'm having my medical done tomorrow (I know I waited so late, but I was told CIC would contact me when they want it but since I have my client ID# I figure why waste time, get it done, it won't expire for a year and I...

Can you update my info to showing as received November 1st, in process since December 13th. Please & Thank you! :]

Missha, They granted my extension as a visitor for a year. The reasons I gave were awaiting my PR with husband inland, and I sent them a copy of my marriage cert and reciept of my PR fees, along with proof when I entered the country and a photocopy of my passport. I have mailed today my request...

Before I forget, I noticed someone else was asking about driving in Canada and here is a link to all the provinces: http://canadaonline.about.com/od/driverslicence/Drivers_Licences_in_Canada.htm and specifically, Ontario: http://www.drivetest.ca/en/license/OutOfCountryDrivers.aspx ^direct link...

Hey all, I've posted before. My application was sent inland back in November. :] Still waiting with the rest of you. Although recently got some good news about my extension as a visitor here. I received my visitor record in the mail just in time! My states license is about to expire and with...

Thank you so much for sharing this! :]

Met online October 2006 Met in person October 2008 Lived together 6 months January 2010-May 2010 Engaged in June 2010 Married on July 13th, 2010 :] only engaged a month !

First off, let me say I am sorry to hear about your predicament with the application package getting lost. I would very upset if I found out mine was. I am also waiting in Toronto, sent in my application on November 1st. I usually don't post, but I like to follow this thread. Remember that the...

Are you planning on applying for permenant residence from inside or outside of Canada? Outland seems to be the fastest if you apply through Buffalo, and you can still visit her in Canada and even extend your stay past the 6 months if you wish to. I wish someone had told me this before I applied...

SaugaBoss, As far as I understand. You would need to go to a border point, and you can apply for it there. Someone mentioned it only took them 15 minutes. If you get a temporary work permit than it is only valid for the employer offering you a job. Once we pass the first stage approval of our...

PMM & Ditta, Thank you so much for your advice! My only question is what is flagpoling? I'm assuming it's where you go to the port of entry and not enter, just go over to the canadian immigration side? :)

So, I have recently applied for permenant resident via family class, my husband is my sponsor. I have also already applied to extend my stay as a visitor in Canada, but my six-months aren't even up until January. However, recently I've been trying to find something to do during my long wait in...

I'm not sure if this is a good way to approach the matter! I've known my husband for almost 4 years now, but we've only been married since July...I am lucky to be in Canada and can't wait until I'm a landed permenant resident, but I wouldn't want to be automatically denied if I had only known my...

This documentary was really hard to watch. I think everyone who is waiting for their applications to be processed now and in the future are quite worried that things will be delayed even longer because of this. I don't think it's fair that the Canadian spouse who was tricked now has to pay to...

That's a great thing to say. Although in our impatience to be part of this growing country, we are quite curious as to why they love to take so long. :D

KelKel, That's great. Did you type up a letter promising to provide financial support? I also put for the part where I support myself - "Along with my personal savings, my husband is employed and can support me completely". Thanks for sharing that, sounds like it went really smoothly for you.
