    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Hi maxsteel. Congratulations. Just to clarify: How are you processed in Ottawa if you are FSW Outland? Are you a US Resident? Thanks.

    I submitted only bio pages, as requested in MyCIC while uploading documents. Mind you, I am yet to receive my PPR. Earlier, CIC needed all non empty pages in Passport. But later on, changed their process to requiring only bio pages. CIC will not reject your application for not uploading all...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Looks like October FSW Inland started around 2/29 and are still going on. Going by that, Nov FSW Inland should start next week. Hope CIC is speeding up EE - since refugee processing has slowed down and we see a few NOV FSW Inland ppr this week. Im sure by the end of 1st week of April, a good...

    Great. Good luck with that. w.r.t list of items, it is required to get duty limit exceptions. We are exempted from paying duties on almost all items that we bring in. Im not sure whether you will be allowed the same benefit the next time you go in. But Im not an expert on this, and may be...

    Not yet. I think mine will be similar to FSW Inland timelines. Currently, October Inland guys are getting PPRs. Nov should next. So, hoping to get ppr in the next 30 days.

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Definitely agree with this one. There is no preferential treatment for anyone. It is just that the group of officers/agents processing FSW applications in Ottawa have more apps to work. For instance, FSW Outland USA times are similar to FSW Inland because the entire application in processed in...

    Thanks Raj. I really hope Im close. But Im thinking in another 6 to 8 weeks. Ill remember to send the PP to Ottawa :D. But dont worry. Im sure you are alright. Even if they don't respond soon, you can always overnight your pp to Ottawa.

    Others who have gone through the same can provide more details: You should be alright. Just apply with US address and when you move back to your home country, you just need to change your address by raising a CSE. This is what Im planning to do for my spouse and kid who are returning in a few...

    Im sure it will be allright. It takes them about 2 weeks to respond. Thats what happened to my CSE. I would say give another week. If you are feeling anxious, give CIC a call.

    My background check wentt from in progress to not needed at this time

    We have many examples that show there is no relationship between BG status in MyCIC and the actual background check. For example, Outland guys get PPR on the same day their BG goes to In Process. In fact, I think some inland applicants in this forum with current BG as Not Needed, received PPR...

    Gaps in address history? And a Rant

    Agree with 245east. That's what I did. I think travel history is important and do everything you can to get it right. I spent about 2 hours to review my passports for dates. For recent US trips, you may be able to find the history in the online I-94 page...

    Gaps in address history? And a Rant

    Others can corroborate my point. I used to travel a lot for my work. Sometimes even for extensive duration like for a year, staying in company guest houses or hotels. I mentioned my home address for these times. But in my travel history, I had mentioned details of the trips. In cases where I had...

    My background check wentt from in progress to not needed at this time

    Silent here last couple of days. Any updates? @PN2511 - Im eagerly waiting for an update to your application. I think you are like a week ahead of me in the queue.

    Sometimes, it looks like they are just waiting for the sake of waiting, isn't it? Anyways, I am bracing myself for a long wait: I have a long travel history.

    You have already paid. And you have very few days left before ppr. I think you should go ahead get the gcms now. You will know if there is any issues with your application and take corrective action, if required. I had to apply early since my application was one of the first with BG going back...

    understanding GCMS notes

    I replied to your personal message. But in case somebody else has the same problem: I did the same mistake. That date field in the site does not have any validation and looks like the pdf field has a validation. Any ways, I just corrected the date directly in the pdf, printed, signed and sent it...
