Wow, that is a really good tip diddagirl, it seems crazy that they didn't do it until you kicked their butts like that - but good thing that you did! Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the positive progress! Have a good weekend all, TLH

If you are outside of Canada for a certain number of days in any calendar year (I believe 183 or so) you are a non-resident. I was told that even though I am a student maintaining a Canadian permanent address, bank accounts, and owning a property there, I am a non-resident for the simple matter...

No matter where you are a resident you can always choose to go outland through your country of citizenship,so no worries on the outland application. Seems like you made the right choice there. I don't expect they do drug testing during the medical, unlike the US, Canada doesn't take such a hard...

Wow, this thread is FASCINATING! Seriously, sometime fact is wilder than fiction, it's like daytime television drama, although it would be nice if some of the awful things weren't happening for real (a heart attack while at immigration???) My two cents aren't worth much but here's what I get...

It's not about "should have had it replaced" boops, it's about your DUTY to report when a government ID is lost or stolen. If you don't report it so the government knows it's been stolen, the thief can use it, either doctored up or simple as it is, and use it for illegal purposes, sell it on the...

Hi, I think you are in the wrong place on the forum, this is Family Class, there should be another area of the forum for skilled worker applicants. Good luck, TLH

Hi guys, wow, those are some powerful stories! I wish you the best of luck and hope we all have our happy endings eventually! True, it might take some time, and that must be extremely hard, but in a way the waiting is also an investment which demonstrates how serious our feelings are. We've...

Yes, congrats thai/peg! I'm also jealous :-D Monday came and went with no news for us... I know that doesn't mean nothing is happening :-) But anyways, my hubby can't land until late March because of his job, so there is no hurry - so long as nothing causes major delays we'll be happy! I think...

We are also going to settle in the Ottawa/Hull region. In terms of immigration I'm not sure how different it is but I might guess that the language skills of the applicant would help/hinder that somewhat - wouldn't Quebec prefer francophone applicants? Although their immigration requires a bit...

LOL, thanks for keeping it light KL8N (is that Martian spelling for Clayton?)! We didn't see anything on ecas until Nov 13th, but that might have actually been speeded up by the fact that I called to confirm I had put in my new address, then when they updated the address it suddenly appeared...

Licence and certificate, I meant the same thing - sorry, didn't mean to scare you!!!

Hi kelemense, This is not "advice" as I am not an expert, it is only my opinion. There is a question asking specifically about your admission to other countries, so obviously they want to know about this. You swore when you signed that you were answering all questions truthfully and to the best...

Wow, so much progress this week - I'm so excited and encouraged! Congrats guys! Now if we could just get Service Ontario to hurry up with our darned marriage certificate, they'll no doubt be needing it shortly... grrr... Cheers, TLH

Putting your timeline in your "signature" Hi all my November buddies, Alas, nothing updated for us this week, tick-tock, tick-tock... A bit anxious that our application will be delayed anyways because our marriage was in Ontario and we haven't gotten our certificate yet (10 weeks!!! We...

Are you allowed to wait so long to send it?

Pre-paid return postage for passport Oh no, that's a bummer. It's not stupid though, it's just they don't put instructions in it, so of course you might not think of it. Maybe you could still send one... maybe it takes them a week to look at it anyways???? The only thing to lose is a couple...

Hi Ange, that is great news, very quick indeed! You're giving us all hope, watching your updates on trackitt.com - I really hope you get the passport back in time for Christmas! 3 weeks seems reasonable but who knows what they do with them. Did you include a prepaid DHL or Fedex envelope? How...

Hi Ella, I had sort of a similar question myself when filling in the forms. I unofficially resided in Switzerland with my husband (then my boyfriend) for 4 months while my official legal residence was in another EU country. I wrote in a letter with my application that I unofficially lived with...

LOL, or someone else using the same username and who happens to have the same dates so far? Hahaha I noticed you posted on there too - good work, start a trend! I will ask my friends from Shanghai whether they used any online forum or support network, maybe there are chinese sites dedicated to...

That's so surprising, I couldn't believe it either. I even checked Peking just in case, but still nothing. Did someone say that they changed the VO for China recently? Did Chinese applications used to be processed somewhere else? Or am I confusing it with another country...
