While waiting I have started reading more about Canadian history, Culture and trivia. I have been following current events from various websites as well.

In our case I printed multiple pictures on photo paper. We had the invitation list as was able to decipher who was who. We named who we could and did not identify the others, Although, in each picture we could identify some people. Finally, we had friends and family write letters affirming...

My wife is Canadian and my sponsor. Our three kids are Canadian, because they were born to a Canadian mother. Because of this I applied for them to receive proof of Canadian Citizenship. This means they do not need the medical or police check. They do all have passports and photo ID. I am...

The state of Oregon had only one. It took three months for the appointment and was total of $ 380.00. The letter confirming that they had sent the results took 50 days to receive.

Typically any DNA Testing takes 5 to 10 days for lab processing. This would not account for queueing or interpreting the results.

Well that is good to hear. 10 months then... :) Gotta keep the humor going.

Is your Hubby Stephen Harper??? :P

In checking the website, my sponsor is approved and I am awaiting approval. My medicals have been received. Which puts me in the uncomfortable position of waiting. I have seen various processing times, 11 months seems to be the projection. I do appreciate these forums, they have been a great...

I understand, because of current events, the temporary worker program is going to be heavily scrutinized. There is no simple way to cross the border and begin working immediately. In my case I am a US citizen married to a Canadian (living in the US). She will be working until I can get my PR...

Overkill is the way to go, IMHO. We requested friends and family members write letters affirming our relationship as well.

In my case I got my police record sent away and made my appointment for my Doctors visit at the same time. Next I had all my paperwork gathered and filled out. Prior to my appointment date I received the police records, added that to the package. After the Appointment I received a letter...

Hello, I am applying for Family PR, my wife is my Sponsor. I am strongly considering applying for Citizenship after the allotted residency time. I was curious if there is such a thing as your homeland, country of origin, whathaveyou. Fights against you becoming a citizen? Not that I have...

While waiting for PR (sponsor approved). We are selling off the bulk of our household items. We will be arriving with a couch, bikes, computers and clothing. My wife is Canadian living in the US as a Resident Alien since 1968. What do we need to prior to the boarder. I understand an...

My spouse is approved as my sponsor. Next up is AOR from the Visa Office... Then what? The CIC website says: After you apply: get next steps If you have filled out your application properly and meet all the requirements, we will mail your card to you. We will only mail PR cards to...

Only the immigrants are required to have the physical\police check and pay the fee. So you're good.

Wait, what? Is the waiting the stressful or is something else coming?

We got a nice call from a friendly CIC person this AM. They had one question about the form and then granted Sponsorship approval! Their question revolved around our kids. My sponsor is my wife of 24 years and a Canadian citizen by birth who has been living in the USA as a Resident Alien...

I note on the spreadsheet, (thanks NicAnn), that Sponsor approval is 25 to 29 days after receipt of app. As of today (18-April-2013) we are at 25 days. I have been trying to track online and I have not gotten anywhere. I figure it gets updated at some point. Does anyone know when I should...

AOR received 4-12-2013 4:31 AM! Great sigh of relief here. Now all we do is wait... more... *sigh* It is a very hopeful time.

Would a PR and a Citizen have the same shot at a job (assuming all else being equal?)
