I wish! Aren't you in Montreal? You should totally go if possible. 14 years and 20 shows in, and I have never been disappointed. :D We were in Montreal over Thanksgiving weekend for a wedding. Absolutely fell in love with the city! Already planning another trip next late summer/early fall.

They're playing at the Metropolis in Montreal tonight... ;D (This band is the reason Husband and I first started chatting... So, multi celebration, I guess! ;D )

Yeah, I have the COPR. Definitely sending a copy of that too. I've looked at all the CIC emails and the COPR dozens of times today, and I can't find a single discrepancy. EVERYTHING matches. I'm hoping this was some sort of clerical error by ServiceOntario at some point... I'm just really...

No number. Just her signature, which is impossible to read. Oh well! :)

Just when I think everything is peachy, I get a curve ball in the mail yesterday... I hope someone here can help me figure this out. I received a letter from Service Ontario: "The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is responsible for ensuring that only eligible registrants have access to...

Okay, here it is... landing story! I picked up my visa in Buffalo on Nov. 10. Nothing new to add to what others have posted about that process. I landed on Nov. 17. Husband snagged me and most of my stuff from my parent's place just outside Buffalo (convenient, no?) We got to the border around...

I would imagine a legal battle would just slow things down even more, no? Also, could there be the possibility that since it's FSW applicants, would their profession have something to do with the length of processing their application? What I mean is, is it possible the fields they work in/have...

Hah, yeah. My brother in law was in the Army, stationed at Ft. Meyer in DC. He was in the colour guard, essentially one of the legions of generic looking soldiers who do all the flag-bearing stuff, guarding the Tomb of the Unknown, funerals, parades, etc. (it's actually a pretty important job...

But I like my fancy shiny counterfoil with the holographic mounties riding across it... :D

Agreed. If it boiled down to complexity, logically my file should have flown through... First marriage for both of us, no kids, no criminal history, etc. As of the date of application submission, we had over 6 years together and 9 months married. No obvious snags. Yet my file sat in Buffalo from...

Congrats! ;D I'm so glad you mentioned the returned photo. When I picked up my visa they gave the extra pic back to me, I asked if they needed it since the PPR email clearly asked for 2 photos, and the woman just shrugged. I've been trying not to think about it... I'm glad I'm not the only...

I never got the in process update from the tracker either, nor anything about application received at any point in time. Just the bajillion meds received updates ::) It would appear matthewc has some bugs to work out of the system! Definitely do this. I recall seeing others around here and on...

I've been putting off posting my landing story, but I will say this... We had a fantastic conversation with the officer at Ft. Erie, and she seriously used the term FUBAR to describe how bad Buffalo has gotten since last year. :-X Eh, I lost my sanity before we even submitted the application...

Just responded. Sorry for the delay!

Sneaking in from the Buffalo thread to say CONGRATS! :D Also wondering what number you were? I was #14. I had no idea what to expect as far as wait time, so I was surprised I was done around 1030. I really thought I'd be stuck much longer. Crowded rooms give me crazy anxiety, so I was glad to...

If you picked up your visa in Buffalo on the day you landed, then we were likely stuffed in the waiting room at the same time. :D

I'm waiting to see how long ecas takes to change to "decision made"... if at all! Just a couple of things to add to my visa pick-up journey yesterday. They returned my big old envelope of photos, which I really wasn't expecting. Also, I finally got my #Bxxxx file number, and only because it was...

I had a grand total of 28 tracker updates telling me my med results were received. Thanks for the congrats!

Visa successfully obtained! I went in person. Nothing I can really add to others experiences with going to HSBC. Got there at 7ish, was done by 1030. I'd write more, but I'm nursing a fantastic migraine. Yay for crazy weather changes! ::) Landing on the 17th... Almost done!

*golf clap* Thank you for the chuckle. :)
