Can you get a job before you have the actual, physical, SIN and PR cards in your hand? I have my SI number, and a COPR. Good enough?

Knitting and KhanAcademy.

No lawyer. I sent my police check (FBI) in with the application. It was just, or almost, expired by the time they stared working on my application though. They didn't seem to care. Based on my experience it's probably best to send everything, including the Right of PR fee, from the get go...

Landing interview was a piece of cake. Woohoo!

Is it common to get first and second stage approval simultaneously?

Thank you for the vote of confidence Fencesitter! We've been together 11 years and have been living together for 5 (and we have one furry child). I haven't strangled him in his sleep yet so it must be true love. ;) I've read so many horror stories here about the interview process that I...

Landing already? :o These two letters, which we received today, are the first letters we've gotten from Immigration Canada. Precisely 5 days after my husband was approved to sponsor the interview letter, with a date set for the end of this month, was processed. It's been roughly 11 months...

I sent in an inland application in April of last year. At the beginning of this month my husband was approved to sponsor me. A few days later the Etobicoke CIC issued a letter to me that states "I am pleased to advise you that the processing of your application for permanent residence will be...

I guess I need to go back to the office to get it, eh? This is for an inland app if that matters. I went for the medical check. She then sent me to have an X-ray and a blood draw. She said if nothing was wrong with me I wouldn't be hearing from them. I assumed I was done and that the...

Thank you.

A couple of questions. 4 - My DMP didn't give me anything but a receipt. Do they mail this copy 2 to you, or are they supposed to give it to you straight away? 5- Can you point me to where it says the FBI certificate can be no more than 3 months old? Thanks.

Re: I'm now terrified about my overstay... Thanks everyone. I'm not as freaked as I had been. The local office would be Mississauga. Are they known for taking a long time to set up an interview? HoneyBird, I have an extremely bonded, loyal, and neurotic Australian Shepherd. She'd worry...

Re: I'm now terrified about my overstay... Sorry Iarblue, I mustn't have been clear. I'm still in Canada. Haven't gone home since '07.

Re: I'm now terrified about my overstay... Ha! I was kinda worried Agent Smith would show up at our apartment door while I was on the phone with them. So that's not a worry, eh? Good to know. ;)

…and incredibly angry at my husband. And at myself for believing him all these years he kept telling me not to worry about having a lack of status in Canada. I’ve been here since early 2007. When I crossed the US/Canada border we were waved through so I don’t even have documentation of my...

250? I've got about 15 photos to send in. Husband and I both loathe having our pictures taken. Hope that's enough.

Thanks guys. After some more digging it looks like I found the answer to question #2. CIC may or may not request an RCMP background check; depends on the case. ??? Has anyone called the Call Centre? Are they actually helpful? I think I definitely need to speak to someone about question #1...

Some background information: I'm an American citizen and am being sponsored by my Canadian husband. We're doing an inland application. We were married in 2006. I've been staying with him here in Canada since early 2007. 1. In the application for PR it asks me for two things of which I...
