    So someone told me that CIC says that not paying the RPRF upfront will delay your process... My attorney's office said that they assure me that not paying this fee upfront has not pushed us back and that it does not cause delays to not pay it upfront. So, the exact words on CIC's website on...

    I sent an email to my the paralegal in my attorney's office that is handling my case informing them that we have contacted our MP... Now she says the head attorney (partner in the firm) wants to speak with me and they want me to call on Tuesday... Not sure what this means... I feel like I'm...

    My attorney informed me yesterday that I will probably have to retake my medicals since they are going to expire in June... She also insists that this will only back up my application by about a week, which I KNOW isn't true! I really wish there was something I could do about the darn...

    I am hoping that I get my COPR without a PPR and that I get it within the next two and a half weeks! If I don't get it by the 3rd, I won't be able to go ahead with my present plan of when I'm going to leave. I know it's probably pretty unlikely that I'll get it by then, but I'm hoping... Have...

    How long does the MP usually take to respond?

    Re: Reply: How long does the MP usually take to respond? Well, they already have all the money they want. LOL We gave a 500 dollar retainer, 500 dollars when the app was filed, and 1000 dollars when my husband was approved for sponsorship... The problem is that, they never informed us of the...

    How long does the MP usually take to respond?

    I just called them. They said they have received our initial email, but the person that is designated to handle immigration questions is out this week, which is why we have not received a reply. She informed me that the MP can never speed up the application process, and I told her that's not...

    Being a "young newlywed couple" does NOT make this situation ANY easier... I am on disability here in the states, which means my monthly income is about 810 dollars a month plus 200 in food stamps. After I pay all my bills, I'm left with approximately 300 dollars. My husband has a good job...

    Ironically enough, while I was venting here, my husband was venting to someone at work who is also going through this process with his wife. (we have some psychic connection!) It was recommended by my husband's co-worker as well to contact our local MP. My husband sent him an email yesterday...

    It's been almost three full months since we paid the RPRF. We have heard NOTHING. I emailed Ottawa and received a reply the same day that they couldn't speak with me and that communication had to come from my attorney. It's been just over five weeks since my attorney said they emailed Ottawa...

    I wish I could get a quick reply! My attorney emailed them 4 weeks ago and hasn't gotten a reply yet. We sent in the receipt for the paid RPRF on February 20th and have heard NOTHING since...

    So my attorney is trying to convince me that not paying my RPRF upfront did not set us back at all. Grr >:(
