Thanks!!! Yes we're very excited, it was so nice to receive it on the 24th too! I already sent my passport, who knows if I'll get it back before the New Year. But I can wait a few days. How about you fab, any news on SA at all??? It's been so long! JoeMac, I paid for my background check on...

Hey! I got passport request today... did anyone else? :)

Yeah no news here! Who knows how long it will take. I guess we won't get an interview if we already went into processing?

I personally didn't wait for the confirmation of withdrawal to re-apply outland. I sent my outland application way before and I didn't have any problems, but someone on this forum said I might. So I don't know if I was just lucky. The CIC agent said I could apply outland as soon as I wanted, so...

If you see the instructions for Colombia posted here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/central-south-amer/colombia.asp You'll see that you're supposed to wait for instructions from the embassy to get your police certificates. Some people do it ahead of time after...

Yes! On November 14 we sent yet another email requesting the withdrawal. Ten days later I received an email from the immigration officer in Mississauga telling me that they wouldn't continue my application because my sponsor withdrew it on Nov 14 (yeah right!), and the money was transferred a...

We have. The call centre is useless, they can't do anything. My husband sent a second withdrawal request last week. We'll see.

Well it's been six months since we withdrew and we haven't heard anything. Application still shows as "in process" on Ecas.

no :( My application went into processing Oct. 23....

Thanks! Any news for you? Did you end up having to send the same documents twice?

Application in process!!!!!!

Great, I updated the spreadsheet. I don't have personal experience but I am going crazy with the waiting, so I created the spreadsheet for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1skw_RkgUkE-TSBzQ6LBg_OJF-ATTl_Y9HHJlhCtCA2Y/edit?usp=sharing

I think it's two months from the date you pay, according to what people have said here.

Hey guess what... I kinda discovered something. And YES I do have a lot of free time. Bogota VO works on Mondays and Thursdays. Check the spreadsheet. Or if you just want to take my word for it, you're probably going to get passport request or AOR 2 on a Monday or a Thursday. It's when they...

Awesome, that's exciting! Congratulations!

The only option for you is to apply for a visitor Visa from Brazil, once you're there. However, the fact that you already hold a visitor record is in your favour. You'll have to apply for the Visa the same way you applied for the visitor record, but because they already granted it to you once...

If you get married after you file your PR application, you must declare it to CIC. If you don't, you must declare all the changes in your family when you land. Because you didn't declare your new spouse in the moment of landing, CIC won't allow you to sponsor them.

Did you declare your spouse on your application for PR or when you landed as a PR? If you didn't, you'll never be able to sponsor them unfortunately.

AOR is acknowledgment of receipt. CIC used to send a letter notifying people they received their application before approving them as a sponsor. Not so much in the last few months, people have started just receiving Sponsorship Approval without AOR. Your application usually appears online...

Great! I added you to the spreadsheet. I'm sure first step will happen way before Christmas. :)
