Isn't there a way to get a temporary (paper) passport quick-smart from the passport office in London? Good luck.

I am guessing that if you do that, they may want you to prove he is your common-law partner and subsequently fill in a "declaration of common-law union" (or whatever it's called) and provide the necessary evidence that he is as said (such as what you would in your PR app). I guess this all...

Thanks for the reply and forgot to say congrats on landing recently. I'm looking forward to knowing how it feels. All the best to you and yours

Totally agree about that Billy Connolly program. Stunning scenery, interesting cultures, knowledgeable people along the way and of course his lovable witty personality made it a very enjoyable series for me. The BBC have done us proud making nature programs about this beautiful place. Ray Mears'...

Nope, I've not had any contact from Canada House. I'm sure it's a good thing though - probably just letting you know that they're almost there with your app or just a simple request for clarification. I'd be trying to call or email them back if that happened to me. I too ticked the box on the...

shandymoo lol you won't manage to go for the next two years after you land without hearing the Canadian national anthem i promise. you'll be singing it and cheering on fights at the hockey in no time :) To pass the time while waiting for your PPR, take a look at some of the things you might be...

When I did a visitor permit extension application before I kept the reason as simple as possible ("To see more of your beautiful country") and it was approved. I then tried another one that was refused however that was because I was trying to change the reason for the visit to "business" - big...

thanks for the reply. this helps a lot as i need to do that this week. i presume you didn't include your whole PR application, just the CIC replies you've had to date such as sponsorship approval letter? or did you include things like your CIC application forms (schedule 1 background, IMM1344A &...

heleng i am in process, in Canada and about to renew my visitor permit. How much detail did you include in your visitor permit application?

I hope that's it shandymoo. At this rate, it's looking likely I'll miss a trip to Vegas and that I'll have to renew my visitor permit ($75 and hassle).

Seems to me like there is a left hand knowing about the right hand, kinda issue. My application clearly took less than 30 weeks to appear on e-Cas and it has information that was clearly updated by someone in London about my "outside Canada" application. I presume that e-Cas is used...

none for me either except an invoice from my lawyer for "disbursements"

congrats david that's awesome. you're not the only one going crazy over their letter! does your status actually say they have sent a letter?

I just checked and the status in e-cas has changed for me from "COMPLETE" to "DECISION MADE" so I guess they're doing something (correcting mistakes as I haven't landed yet).

It can take 120 days for the RCMP, Ottawa to process the (ink based) fingerprint checks. If you have digital fingerprints taken by a 3rd party (such as commissionaires.ca), which can only be done within Canada, it can reduce the time down to 72 hours, so I am told. The difference is enough to...

nope, just a tummy full of butterflies and rash thoughts - a born worrier, me! i'm presuming i'll get the PPR by email so have been keeping an eye on that (and my spam folder). i've called my lawyer and can't get through but i assume they would contact me right away if they'd heard anything...

@quakingaspen I hope you're right AOR = Acknowledgement of receipt It's the bit in e-cas that states: "We received your application for permanent residence on dd MM YYYY"

I logged in to e-cas and it now says application COMPLETE, Meds recvd, decision made. Feeling pretty anxious. Could this mean that I'm about to get a passport request? They couldn't have done all their checks that quick could they? The complete text in e-cas was: We received your application...

thanks shandymoo, not gloating by posting these. yours will be very soon! good luck

We got our letter Sponsor eligibility approved, application forwarded to London
