This makes me very worried because I was not able to access MyCIC - cannot connect the application to the account. Tried everything described here and ran out of things to try :-( So Police Certificate requests can be there but I may not see them. What to do?

Just got medicals requested for both parents (Jan. 4 first batch, case in Ottawa). No police certificate request for some reason.

My dad has his super visa expiring in a month. They gave him the visa until the expiration of passport only, so he ended up with a short supervisa. But when he entered the country last time, he got stamp for 2 years (till September 2017), so it seems that he can stay till Sept. '17, but he can...

Thanks, that's what I was guessing.

I've also received sponsorship approval via email. Case sent to Ottawa. When I notified my parents about the good news, they brought this up - on this page item 19 states that if they are in Canada, they should be able to get a work permit before getting immigration visa...

Thanks, that worked. The agent told me that they send a message (mail or email) on Feb 4th, and will re-send it shortly, and that there were no messages since. I hope it's not bad news of any sort...

What number to call to get through? I tried calling twice already and both times the system told me to look online and hung up on me. What am I doing wrong? I'm getting worried with no AOR and no letters or emails for a Jan 4th application with one of the first cards charged. It's definitely...

There is one thing about what's legal and another about what's morally right. Ideally, we'd have those two things match. Is it right to have a law that would under any circumstances separate a newborn from the mother? Is there any valid practical reason to have a different status for mother and...

Same here - card charged, and I can see "Application Received" status online, but no communication from CIC whatsoever from the very beginning. I'm getting worried. All contact info they have is correct.

This is nonsense. I lived in Canada for 12 years and intend to live indefinitely. And yet I ended up in this situation. The choice was to risk having a baby in the US or leave the job and get on Canadian welfare instead of creating value and paying taxes to Canada. I think the latter is much...

Oh, but there is HUGE difference. That difference is processing time - days in the US vs. months/years in Canada. In most other countries it would a formality taken care of in real-time, because they understand that a child cannot live on their own.

This is a ridiculous statement. Should a woman stop all travel for work while pregnant, and thus risk losing her income and stunting career? You cannot tell the child to not be born and wait another few weeks. Travel while waiting for citizenship (many many years in my case - I lived in Canada...

But this becomes really barbaric when BOTH parents can live ONLY in Canada (citizens of Canada and no other country) and the child cannot live in Canada. So there is no legal way for the family to stay together. And the fact that parents became citizens very soon after baby's birth may not...

The advice for applying for PR makes sense, and that's what I tried to do from the outset, when we took oath (it would have been processed by now). I'm so pissed that when I called CIC to ask what to do about the form written for spouse and asking for things like marriage certificate, they told...

Nono - we are both Canadian citizens and only Canadian citizens living in Canada full time, practically since the child was born. We were just a couple month away from the oath when she was born. I contacted a lawyer and will see what he says.

This is where it becomes extremely confusing. I tried to apply for her PR but, on three separate calls, CIC reps told me that sponsoring for PR does not apply in this case because children need to be sponsored for PR only when you sponsor a spouse who brings children with. The online...

I'm living through a bit of a citizenship nightmare right now, and I hope someone can suggest the best course of action. While my wife and I were waiting for our citizenship applications to be processed, we had a baby. The problem is that we were working in the USA at the time, temporarily, so...

Same here - card charged over a month ago, and now just saw same update in my and my mom's ECAS. No AOR for some reason.

I see. I used the number on her visa, and it logged me in but showed nothing inside - no active applications.

How do you know your or your parents' UCI? I thought those were shown in AOR only, but it seems many are checking ecas before getting AOR. I guess I'm missing something. My card got charged on Jan 17th, but no AOR yet.
