    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Just wanted to stop in and share the good news..I'm officially landed! The process was extremely easy, which was nice given that we drove from Fort McMurray Alberta down to Denver Colorado and back (in wintry conditions!) to retrieve my belongings. The driving was not easy, but I have an amazing...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    If there's a way to attach photos I'd LOVE to know. Instead here's my best answer... I used heavier colored card stock in front of each and every section (what I listed in my previous post), with the title of the section printed centered and bold. The primary sections of Sponsor and Principal...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Summary of Experience Completing a Family Sponsorship without Legal Assistance With my CoPR in the mail, my husband and I were discussing our relief and excitement. The conversation turned to numbers…hours, dollars, months. We chose to complete the application without legal assistance, having...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I'm about to post my summary, including the actual Table of Contents from the submission. When I searched, it took some effort to find a post where someone broke out the organization of the pages themselves. In the end I may have overdone the organization a bit, but I wanted it to be simple for...

    I should've clarified from my previous post that I'd gotten the update on myCIC first, and eCAS followed.

    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Aaaaaaaaaaand I got the email. Now we can start planning whether to make an appointment or spend the cash to have me fly out and back to land. I'm not in a huge rush to get the physical card since I can do the most important stuff with the letter itself: health care, SIN, drivers license (I...

    After seeing the posts above I HAD to log in to check my status. My application has been approved! Yes!! Based on the timelines for the approvals thus far I expect to receive the CoPR soon. Now I just have to figure out the best approach to landing. :D

    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    I'm hoping this is a simple question... I just paid the RPRF and now need to update CIC. Do I use the IRCC Webform? It seems quite generic, so I just want to ensure I'm not wasting time. Thank you. :-)

    [list] This is the best advice I've seen so far. I've tried multiple times to link since getting access in eCAS, without success. I think what was throwing me off, aside from completing too many fields, was calculating the number of people. I was indicating one just for myself when it...

    It's certainly frustrating how random this all seems. I'll feel relieved only once I have an irrevocable "approved" in front of me!
