I'm sure you didn't offend anyone. You're just being incredibly anxious. It's a stressful process, that's understandable - but massive overreactions like emailing to demand information when you're still incredibly early isn't going to help either you or the process. All you can really do at the...

...... You applied on January 27th - just over two months ago - and you're already complaining to them?! You do realise that the 80% processing time for American applicants (pre Dec, since there's no data possible on averages for post Dec) was 13 months? Some others have had responses. That...

Unclear: 1) What legal separation happened, and when 2) The legal status of your first marriage Your timeline appears to be 2009: Married wife #1 2 weeks later: Broke up 2013: Arrive in Canada as student (sometime probably in here: married wife #2) 2014: Spousal sponsorship for PR 2015: PR...

If she intends to complete a college course, she should attend, study, and simultaneously if you get married she can sort out her PR. If she intends not to complete her course, you should get legally married, and sponsor her from Outland.

You seem to be planning to engage in completely unnecessary immigration fraud. If she's going to Canada on a study visa, of course she should attend college. That's the entire reason for her being granted permission. Applying for a student visa while planning on going there to get married and...

.... unless documents change your nationality or visa office, no they won't. There are outliers - and if you don't provide eg enough evidence of relationship, or you miss a form out, or don't immediately supply medical exam or police certificates on request, you can slow things down - but...

Processing times are different for different nationalities and different case processing centres (visa offices). Some (especially Americans processed through Ottawa) can happen in as little as 3 months. Some take years. The current government is committed to making sure nobody has to wait more...

I do hope she's going to Canada on a study visa to study at College, and not simply viewing it as a way to cross the border before getting married, and claiming PR status?

I think you misunderstood. Skyzee's entire process from start to end was impressively fast. Their wait from 'Background check in progress' was unusually long (about 6 weeks from late Feb to early April). That often takes same day or less than a week.

Congratulations! Quite a long wait from BGC in progress! But great news.

Congrats! *Wow* that was quick. It may take them a few days/weeks to get you the CoPR and update on myCIC, but at that speed and without any extra doc requests, you're approved.

Much better chance now, when she can rightly claim she was removed as a minor, and is returning at the first opportunity. As the months tick on, that argument declines. After three years, she has certainly chosen to settle elsewhere. Normally think in terms of weeks. If her PR card is mailed...

And having worked carefully to spend the bare minimum amount of time in Canada, you can spend that time wondering why you want Canadian Permanent Resident status, if you plan on spending the minimum legally necessary amount of time there.

Well that's demonstrably wrong: https://www.thestar.com/news/privacy-blog/2015/03/what-your-canada-border-services-agency-file-looks-like.html

You've been given the definition of a family member where documents are required at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5289ETOC.asp#family. Mother, father, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins etc are not included in this.

No. If you are physically located outside of Canada when you apply, you MUST apply outland. Applying outland means you cannot apply for a work permit (because you are not in Canada, so don't need a Canadian work permit). If you later visit Canada while you wait, you still cannot get a work...

That's probably just a foul up at their end. The letter should be addressed to the applicant (the non-Canadian). If sponsorship approval comes through addressed to your partner, then either you put the wrong names in the wrong boxes or they've mis-assigned them. If later communications are...

Dec & Jan have had about two each.... be patient, they're nowhere near done with October, never mind November yet :)

Congratulations! You almost certainly don't need one. They might be of use if you have extensive criminality, or have been previously ordered to leave Canada, and can help you navigate the rehabilitation needed. Most people even in that situation don't need one. The forms are...

Good god, that was slow! You may be asked by email/myCIC message for a scan of your passport and new photos, or they may just send your COPR in the mail. Some people get this immediately, some take weeks, they seem to be done by batch. Do you know why it took so long? That's more of an...
