I'm the same! Sometimes I'm like, "yeah we got this!" and other times I get so nervous from reading. Knowledge is power, but when you're a worrier it makes you think more, which can be a bad thing, lol! GL, stay in touch if you hear anything. :)

Wow, 83 days! I read that sometimes the SA/AOR2 email doesn't get generated, so you may have actually had SA earlier and weren't aware until they did their big system update. It seems the SA/AOR2 email is batched. I received the email, however ECAS still said "In Process" until they did that big...

Hey thanks for the reply! Yes I noticed your name on the spreadsheet and noticed that we're in a similar position. There are a number of earlier applicants who sent in their application without the FBI and they have received DM. For those that had additional document requests for FBI it looked...

You need to provide a police certificate for any country that you have resided in for 6 months or more after the age of 18 EXCEPT for Canada... so no you do not need to provide a Canadian PCC. If they need it they will request it.

Thanks, fingers and toes and pretty much everything crossed, lol. Whoever got her file must have been having a great day! And yeah, I figured the 'lol' was for that reason. It really seems it's up to the officer on the file. I'm beginning to wonder if officers are assigned in batches per week...

Wow... she is very lucky. I didn't even know that was allowed. Congratulations to your friend. Many Ottawa members here submitted their applications without the FBI check due to the current wait (as per the tracking sheet) and Ottawa issued an additional document request asking for it. There...

Everyone goes through background and security checks.

Great, glad it helped!

Thanks you guys. :)

I know. I clarified this with him multiple times to make sure, and even checked in with him once the certificate arrived and asked if we should send it in, and he told me to not bother and they'd ask if they wanted it (of course they asked!). He was confident enough in this to submit the...

Thanks again for your input scylla, it's appreciated. Of peripheral interest, the representative (accredited immigration lawyer) told us that most files that he sends only have the solemnization of marriage included and the applications are typically processed without issue. The wait time for...

Thanks very much!

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this, I thought he had to do it. As for the RPRF, my representative made it out that it was a 'direct request' required to finalize the application, along with the 2 documents, rather than the generic solicitation for the fee that accompanies correspondence. Really...

I thought that because he is my designated representative that he would need to request them on my behalf? If that's not a factor then I will definitely request them myself.

Thanks to everyone's responses, this isn't the news I was hoping for, but it is what it is. We filed through a representative who told us that submitting the application without these items was not a problem, as they could be sent later once they came in. At the time I wasn't aware that it...

Thanks for your response! I guess I should say I appreciate feedback from ANY members, senior or not. :) It was paid/PDF sent the day they asked for it, along with a copy of the long form marriage cert. The FBI was mailed about a week 1/2 later as we'd been waiting for it to come in. Just...

So it seems that we're one of the last applications pending from Ottawa in May, and the only thing I can chalk it up to is the fact that the RPRF payment was deferred until they asked for it. If I'd known that it made that big of a difference I would have paid it up front. From taking a look at...

Check out this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/linking-mycic-account-to-pr-application-t439261.345.html The way that the officer inputs the information per application seems to vary, so there are a lot of tips and tricks. You have to just keep trying until...

Anyone who is a US applicant who went to Ottawa in May still waiting for DM?

If it's been sent to Ottawa that means you passed the preliminary checks for documents and all appears to be well. Generally they'll send it back before SA if you're missing forms or forms are totally filled out incorrectly. Since it's been sent to Ottawa it will be put in process - look for a...
