ECAS was just updated for us. Says "IN PROCESS". "Started processing XXXXXX application on YYYYYY" Interesting why it's only in-process, when they are requesting the passport, 2 photos, sponsor's address for visa issuance, and not "Decision made". Also in the letter "We have completed...

I believe that's still the case. Give or take about a month. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp 28 days according to the official stats.

Gocha, thanks! That makes sense. Since they require the physical passport to issue the visa (sticker), they will return it with the COPR (if I understand correctly).

Well, here's my two cents: My spouse (wife) took on my name, so she had to get a new passport, the validity of the passport is 10 years, expires 2024. I honestly have no idea how one would have their passport request waived, don't all places require a passport with a visa to enter Canada...

Thank you so much! You are the best! So that's what they need the "Sponsor's updated address" (my address for). http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-arriving.asp I wish I could give you more Karma, but I have to wait another 170 hours :)

She did not receive a COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence?) yet. Then again, the email only came in today... Is that something that they will give her with the Visa once she submits the passport?

Thank you so much! After she comes to Canada, what will we need to do to finalize the PR? Will she also get her passport back with some paperwork that we will need to fill out in Canada in order to get her PR status? Thank you very much! Also, do you know how often ECAS gets updated, as the...

Hello, This is absolutely normal! Try not to worry! The application has been delivered to CIC, but is currently in process. The processing time as of this message is 56 days. When I submitted mine, it was closer to 55 (in April), but no information was available until late June. You will...

Hello all! I have a quick general question. This is regarding family sponsorship outland application (to Canadian embassy in another country) After you receive a letter from the VO abroad stating that they have completed processing of the PR application for your spouse, and they need to submit...

Thank you so much for the replies and helpful info!

Hello all, I have a quick question about the second part of the application. This is applying for an outland application. So the first step is the sponsor evaluation, after sponsor evaluation, decision made. After decision made, the documents get forwarded to the VO in the country closes to...

Hmm, Medicals were done sometime in early April, we did them before we sent in the application. App package sent: 4/28/2014 App package recieved by CIC: 4/29/2014 I live in Canada, sent them to Mississauga CIC. Wife lives in Ukraine, got all forms, sent them to me in Canada:) VO: Most likely...

Probably late, but my application was recieved by CIC on April 29th... Let's hope for the best! I wish everyone the best of luck!

Hello all! Thank you for your responses! My application is OUTLAND (I am in Canada, a Canadian citizen, but my wife is in Ukraine, a Ukranian citizen.). So after they start on applications recieved on the 29th, it would take some time? They won't be sening a "We recieved your application"...

Hello all! I sent my application package to CIC for the sponsorship of my spouse. According to the tracking number, the package was recieved by CIC on April 29th, 2014. I specified my email, so everything should go there. My questions are: a) does CIC sent out a "We recieved your package and...

Hello all! This is an extremely dumb question, but I have to ask it nevertheless. The Sponsorship guide tells you "You should fill in all spaces on immigration application forms. If a question does not apply, write “not applicable” or “N/A” in the space. That shows you have read and filled out...

Thank you so much! And yes, the eMedical has her picture, barcode and everything else. Best regards!

Hello all! This may seem like a stupid question, but can someone explain to me what the "Copy 1 of medical... " My wife did her examination at a eMedical-enabled clinic, so she has the eMedical reciept, does this mean then I also need a copy of the original as well? Also, for fees, the reciept...

Thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out worried :) This is also some information I found: and From the RoadToCanada Forums. Thank you very much for your help MANOFGOD! PS: Also, that's what I gathered from this guide...

Hello and thank you for your quick reply! I did do it at a certified panel physician: Kiev Thanks!
