    I note today in the GCKey profile that the photo and passport have been submitted to IRCC. Checking each day in case there is another request. Does anyone have experience of any further requests following submission of hard and soft copy of photos and passports to Embassy / IRCC? Thanks

    Good evening lamiyarakib, I hope you are well. Would you explain what "counterfoil" is please? Is it the COPR? Did you receive it from VFS?

    Hi Bluearrow, from my reply and posts below, it does seems normal though confusing if we've already sent the hard copies. It could be that the electronic files are collected at a central database while the hardcopies are at the Visa Issuing Office. This is my reasoning of an otherwise confusing...

    Hello fellow Forum members, I'm glad I checked in with GCKey and this forum. I saw the request after sending the physical passport and photos for a scan / upload of each so did so tonight. It's like dating all over again waiting for your new love to send you a message and a request! Another...

    After Eligibility passed on both sides What next? SOS! nerves are breaking down!!!

    In one sense Gramophone, the experience you're having is one reason why I decided to 'camp-out' in Thailand and begin the immigration process Outland. I'm hopeful that my wife will have more help upon landing and we'll be entitled to immediate sign-up for SIN (issued immediately), OHIP...

    After Eligibility passed on both sides What next? SOS! nerves are breaking down!!!

    Hi Gramophone, now I'm confused about your OHIP application - this was the principal interest of this thread frankly IMHO. A bit of 'misunderstanding' in the thread over the CIC process has clouded the matter. Service Ontario says they require an AIP Letter showing all sponsored individuals...

    After Eligibility passed on both sides What next? SOS! nerves are breaking down!!!

    Thanks Gabrielasqs, I'd have to defer to your advice for Gramophone since my application process is entirely different - Outland Application. Gramophone, I can understand your frustration, let me share my story for entertainment value....we're within the 12 month timeline still, but around...

    No, I don't trust my GC-KEY / ECAS to be accurate. Our passport was delivered last week according to VFS Global (CVAC) Thailand tracking function. ECAS is set to send us an email for any change in status from IRCC. I may check the ECAS on a weekly basis, but I am not counting the days, just...

    2018-Travel to USA for newly Landed Immigrant

    Dear readers, We think we'll be arriving as Landed Immigrant with Canadian Sponsor and Dependent in June 2018. We want to travel to USA as soon as possible to visit elderly/sick relatives in the USA for two weeks. My foreign spouse (Landed Immigrant) already has a US 10-Yr Multiple Entry Visa...

    After Eligibility passed on both sides What next? SOS! nerves are breaking down!!!

    Dear Gramophone, from your story, I think you are Inland Sponsor and Applicant with Dependent(s). If this is so, please stop stressing. You are there and presumably have been there for at least a year? Life goes on as usual and follow up with IRCC as soon as they send you requests, forms, etc...

    Good afternoon lamiyarakib, mention of 1 month is likely to provide you with the maximum amount of time they require to perform the task. If they are not busy, it may indeed take a lot less time. If there is a problem (shouldn't be, why else would they ask for the passport?) then it may take...

    Hello BlueArrow, my reply doesn't answer your question precisely.... We are in Thailand and went to a similar courier service here - Kerry. They refused to carry the documents when they learned it was passports. We had to go to Thailand Post, and sent the documents by EMS, which tracked and...

    Hello dear, please dont worry or pay too much attention to the GC-Key/ECAS status. Mine shows still assessing suitability for application and they've already asked for our passport. I think each section is individually updated by separate agents and they don't have to update it properly...

    Welcome Kits at Pearson Intl Airport?

    Hello everyone, thanks for the answers so far. It seems they've stopped issuing them, or, its a factor of the time when people arrive. Its difficult to find a series of flights that bring us in before the evening. If any of you are offering replies, would you also note the time and day of week...

    Traveling(Visitor) to Canada Impact my Spousal PR process.

    Hello Forte, its a fair question and I wouldn't think you're being unreasonable if you're skeptical. I would recommend updating them on everything whether they do check or not though, since the Agents are over-worked, understaffed and have been known to make errors. Sending info through...

    Medical Exam asking for a Gynecology test?

    Dear zt2018, Your advise not to get stressed is spot on. I agree it is a regular procedure for females to get checked regularly. However, it is UNUSUAL to have it done during the Immigration Medical, and I would say, it is NOT likely. Recall, the Panel Doctors are paid to provide a minimum...

    Traveling(Visitor) to Canada Impact my Spousal PR process.

    Hello Pankhuri, in addition to the other answers, I would like to add some information gained from reading IRCC website pages: 1. NO, the duration of your stay will not impact your PR Application. AND please note the expiry of your passport and return or renew before expiry. ALSO, if you get...

    Hi Friend, I am basing my answer on reasoning, so I may be wrong. I believe it is more likely they will ask you to visit the Dhaka office if it is a Canadian Consular Office. I suggest this because I believe it is unreasonable to ask you (and any other family members) to make a trip to...
