I got a biometrics fee letter over a month ago for my Feb application and still can't link it with the application number provided, nor does it show anything in ECAS.

I just hope they can make a good amount of progress before we have to go back to full lockdown due to people traveling and pretending covid is gone :)

Hi there, I received this as a part of an email from CPC Mississauga. I believe forgetting to pay for Biometrics is common, so they will sometimes send out a "Biometrics Fee Reminder letter" to remind you, even if you have paid. These are the instructions on how to pay: Instructions - How to...

I submitted my app in February and wrote out a fee enumeration because I also had the problem where there was no payment detail. This makes for a total of $1380. I think the fees increased in April though, so your prices may be different. Sponsorship fee ($75) Principal Applicant Processing Fee...

Hi there, I'm also a US citizen who applied inland w/OWP back in February. My own visitor extension expired in June and I haven't requested another. Most people say implied status is sufficient, as long as you made sure your forms were filled out correctly and you paid the fees for OWP. I can't...

I'm sorry but a pandemic is definitely not the time to be traveling for months with no exact plans or essential reasons. If people could just sit still for a few months, COVID wouldn't have blown up as much as it did. I was long distance with my boyfriend (now husband) for 6 years, doing 1 week...

I'm now at about 5 months since my app was received and they do not seem to have started the process at all. This is with me doing everything I can to have valid status throughout my time in Canada. (leaving before my status expires, returning and then maintaining documentation, filing for...

I don't use a lawyer but man...I hope you can get a refund/credit or something. The whole point in paying for a lawyer is so they do the heavy work and keep you as well-informed as possible. I'd feel so cheated.

It would be nice if they realized the economic benefits of family reunification. They're not as immediate and easy to see, but when families are able to live together with security, they are more comfortable making purchases that will boost the economy. Just one small example, but my husband and...

The usual processing times are unfortunately no longer valid for predicting things. February applicant here, never got an AOR but I got an email reminding me to pay for my Biometrics fee(I already have) about 3 weeks ago. That was my first communication from them and I received it 4 months after...

I sent a webform about not being able to link my app last week, and I just got this response: --------- Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). We verified the information that you have provided and can confirm that at this time, it is not possible to...

Has anyone that received AOR or the Biometrics Letter with an Application Number been able to link their account online? I've been trying every combination until I'm locked out once per day, haven't been successful yet.

Agree with scylla, and I'm sure you already know this but make sure your travel log is detailed and precise. They will really need good reasons why you couldn't manage even half of the 730 day residency requirement. Good luck.

I am sure they will give you directions on how to submit the evidence. My understanding is that they take allegations of marriage fraud very seriously and will investigate what you have to bring forward, as well as do their own investigations.

As is, option 1 is likely your smoothest bet. Applying as soon as possible so they can begin the processing sooner. It's hard to know what to expect with future processing times though. Speaking as an American who was once turned away for having the same expectation of staying the "allowed 6...

You should be safe as far as status goes since you sent the OWP app...it will give you implied status as of package delivery. I know some people apply for the visitor extension as well to be extra safe, just in case their application is returned. If you got signature delivery of your package and...

According to the tracker, it doesn't look like anyone from March onwards have got their AOR yet. About 40% of the February applicants also have not received AOR. My app was received on Feb 25, and I just got the Biometrics Reminder Letter email on June 25. I didn't receive an AOR, but the letter...

I understand feelings of restlessness, or feeling powerless because you cannot contribute to your household in the way that you want. It's really hard not knowing when you can feel secure in your status and help support your family. For me, there are a few things that help me not to dwell on...

Not saying you're wrong, (I actually just received communication from CPC Missisauga about the receipt of my application two days ago), but some more detail on these "other places" would be helpful so we have more context.

I'm not the topic creator, but really how does one even get a prescription for BC (such as the pill) on visitor status? I went to an emerg because that was the first suggestion I read...they told me it would be $700 to see me, so I left. Went to a Porcupine Health Unit and they said I need to...
