Hey guys, I'm having a momentary panic attack here and am worried that I may have calculated incorrectly! Am hoping that someone can either talk me off my ledge or put me out of my misery. I just read that for citizenship, you must be a permanent resident for three years before being eligible...

I'm in Canada still - just got married in the US. :)

Hey everyone! So I got my PR last January (yay!) and got married this past November (yay again!). I need to change my name on my PR card, as I've changed it on my US passport. I just wanted to verify, because we got married in the US, whether or not I am to be sending in my original US...

My application was received May 21, 2015 and I got my COPR in the mail on December 21, 2015. So pretty much exactly seven months from start to finish. We had a very straight forward application. No prior marriages or sponsorships, no criminal records, no children, etc. I'd assume it may take...

An "outland" application does not refer to where you live. It refers to the office where your application is being processed. For example, I am a US citizen who has been living in Canada for the past two and a half years. I applied outland while living in Canada (and just received my PR last...

Haha me too friend, me too. I'm interested to see them!

It is stated in the application information that a complete application is required or else they will send it back to you. However, many people have had no issues with attaching their FBI receipt to the application along with a note stating that processing times are long and that you will...

I sure am! I'm in British Columbia though so pretty far from Ottawa - hopefully yours will come soon!

Thanks everyone! So get this....I got DM last night and today the postal fairy brought me my COPR (dated the 17th!!)! Say what?! I also was never asked to have my pictures re-done. Now just for landing!!!!!

Sooooo I got DM last night and today the postal fairy brought me my COPR! Say what?! I also was never asked to have my pictures re-done. Now just for landing!!!!!

You know what, I actually called the MP back and he said that he called but no one had even gotten back to him yet. So who knows. Maybe it was just the combination of me harassing them constantly on all avenues. I've got my fingers crossed that you'll get yours any day!

I'm seriously in disbelief. I checked ECAS late last night on a whim and almost fell out of bed when I saw that sweet, sweet DM!

Copy pasting this from the May 2015 Outland, as I frequent both of these threads: OMG OMG OMG!!!!! So some of you probably read that a couple weeks back I got an email (after my docs request) saying that CIC still needed my FBI paperwork, but I had given them the original. I was freaking out...

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! So some of you probably read that a couple weeks back I got an email (after my docs request) saying that CIC still needed my FBI paperwork, but I had given them the original. I was freaking out because it's a four month wait to receive the FBI stuff, so if they had in fact...

What size are they asking for? Any chance you could post the email and where to send them? They screwed up with my application and said I never sent my FBI document which I did, and then finally said "Oh nevermind we have it" so now I'm sure my application is going to take way longer because...

I believe, and someone senior may want to correct me if I'm mistaken, that you are given implied status with your PR application. However, if you leave Canada for any reason or any duration of time, you automatically will lose your implied status. If you aren't going to leave, you may be just...

No, most US applicants are processed within 8-10 months, some in recent months have been done in as little as four. Check out the spreadsheets for better information!

But you did say that, however unintential. By saying "no offence but they should fast track applications with babies"....how do you think they would fast track those? By skipping over applications without them (babies/kids). At any rate, it doesn't really matter - I'm not trying to be...

I understand how hard it must be to be away from your family, but why should couples without children be pushed to the wayside in order for families with them to be processed faster? We don't love our families any less, regardless of whether we have children or not. I think rather than...

You're not able to request a VO office yourself. Generally if you're a resident of Canada already, it will be processed in Ottawa or Mississauga anyway.
