Hello! Just FYI, maybe you know already, but you can choose your VO: either your country of residence or country of citizenship (assuming you have legal residency status in Korea for at least 1 year). You can check the timelines (maybe on trackitt.com? Don't believe what they say on their...

Yeah, I agree, this forum is great for de-stressing eh? From my vantage point in my chair at home, a million miles from CPC-M here is what I am GUESSING they do based on all the dates people post on here: The file arrives in the mail and is marked with the date it is received, and put in the...

I think you can find info in the CIC website under "coming to canada as a visitor", I've never read that bit but I've noticed it there a few times. Would probably be the place to start looking. I dunno much about it but I think I can clarify one thing: you are from a "visa exempt" country, so...

She mentioned on the previous page: Danish mail, from, um... Denmark :D Usually the mail in Europe is amazingly fast compared to North America, so ekristensen, they might tell you 6 days but that doesn't necessarily count the time Canada Post takes... I wouldn't start to worry yet, honestly...

Is there an echo in here? ;)

It depends on how your friend plans to send it. If he sends it by courier or through the normal post office? If that difference is not clear, you can look up the definition of "courier" in a dictionary, but basically it is a service where someone delivers the package in person, not the normal...

Alaikul assalam noubi! In case it is not clear, you do not write "Courier adress (no public drop-offs)" as the first line of the courier delivery address! :) Better to try "Case Processing Centre - Mississauga" And don't forget to put "Canada"... :D

I guess this thread belongs in the "setlling in" section or whatever, but you guys are my homies so the message is for you, and besides, I don't wanna go straying all over this forum, getting into who knows what kind of trouble! I just gave Will and Ian Ferguson's "How to be a Canadian" to my...

Yikes, I remember that stress, it was awful, since we didn't use a courier... I used the (actually real) excuse of wanting to verify that they had my address correct in the system as I was in the middle of moving and I couldn't remember which address I had given (and I couldn't verify since I...

Re: Attaching Proofs - Sponsor/Applicant Proof of... Everything? Sorry, I know, that wasn't what I meant - just making the point that restaurant manager is at least a real job, show responsibility and leadership and that you can support yourself - whereas student can be a range of things, and...

I beg to differ... Our ecas account became active (ie we could login for the first time) on a Friday!!! Yesterday evening (Wednesday) it was updated by our VO and our PR application status changed to "In Process"!!!

I don't see why you would be banned or ill-advised... amsyul is doing the same as you, waiting until January to send her passport so that she doesn't get stuck without it for her Christmas visit to Canada. I had the same question as you though, for us, if our file is delayed for some reason, we...

That must be so tough - I understand why you are sad!!! Would it be faster if you went to Sweden? I lived there, it's not bad! Not so easy for immigrants (not as good as Canada but probably as good as anywhere in Europe!) and the winters are really dark and they eat food that's... well... not...

Re: Attaching Proofs - Sponsor/Applicant Proof of... Everything? Well I don't think you need to prove where you went to school and where you lived and so on. I think you only need to provide that info, and as long as you swear it's true and it shows you didn't have any gaps in your history...

Girl Guides??? Are you mental? ;) Holy-moly, we didn't at all! Just the required support documents plus proof of relationship and also, as I might've mentioned once, a few extra pages bragging that my hubby is financially independent, a professional at a senior level with a good/reputable...

Just found a little blurb under "what happens after I submit my application" saying that Mississauga checks and approves the Sponsor's application, then transfers it, and then the VO checks the PR application for completeness and will return any incomplete file (as in KL8N's case I guess)...

And this very much dispels, once and for all, the "updates only on Tuesdays" myth. Thank goodness my obsessive Wed-Mon checking paid off :D

Just used the computer's search function on all the forms and guides :) and it does seem to be mysteriously gone! I know it was there because both my hubby and I had read it independently and we both mentioned it when preparing our file (and some of you confirmed it! and I've been taking my...

Fantastic, just in time for the bad weather! LOL ;) Enjoy! TLH (aka Carrie Bradshaw)

Yippy! Update on ecas in the last 3 hours that CIC Berlin began processing Dec 7. ;D It's not a big step but it's still evidence things are on track and our file hasn't fallen behind the radiator or something - it's enough that we're drinking wine and doing victory dances around the house...
