Gotcha, my husband and I were melting down last week from the stress, it's so hard. I have to move from my condo at the end of July and can't announce my retirement until I have my COPR in hand, so I'm being squeezed again, but we're so grateful for the decision. Praying that Ottawa gets a...

As the person being sponsored and having the passports, the email was sent to me, just an fyi.

Mine was just approved, too. I think they're just dipping their toe into December, especially if you look at the December spreadsheet. But they do occasionally skip around, you never know...

Could someone please update me to show my PPR today? ;)

I'm on the Ottawa board but not the December one, but I wanted to post that I received my PPR today. Things have been so dead lately, and today there was news about a possible strike and immigration delays, so I wanted to say, Ottawa's still doing work there! And, ditto, Brightredscream, my...

Well, some must be working because my daughter and I received our PPR today! Woot! :D Here's hoping I broke the Ottawa silence for others....

Yeah, I'm freaking out, too. I managed to get an extension to stay in my condo until the end of July, but now something came out that says that dependents over 19 years of age won't be admitted as of January, 2014. My daughter supposedly got in under the wire with an application before she...

Good news today, it looks like I will get an extension to stay at my condo through the end of July, such a huge break for us. Now if we could just get the news, our families could celebrate before I have to fly back to Texas...

OK, so today I'm on my pity party. I managed to keep it a secret from my husband for 2 months that I was coming to visit last Friday. He was in tears when my daughter and I stepped out of his parents' car! But yesterday was "hump day", and I'm heading home (or whatever I call it now) on...

Question for you guys, has anyone applied with an older child, i.e. my daughter was still under the age 22 threshold when we applied... wondering what that might do to the timing

Thanks for the info, Parker! Grats to those getting some resolution. I'm really about to go crazy now that I know I'm within the window of a decision, so, Ivan, I really get what you're saying about the insanity. Since I'm filing from outside, I'm really anxious to "make house" with my...

Speaking of the post, since I live in the States, it could take 2 weeks or more for me to receive mine when the time comes. Didn't I see something about providing them with something to speed it up, some sort of shipping envelope or such?

Your posts have brought me to tears, but thank you for them all. I've been following the posts for a while, and we're usually chatting about the details of our immigration, not so much the humanistic side. I came out of a second marriage with a good job but not a ton of savings, and my husband...

I guess I just don't understand the system. When I hear you talk about renting an apartment without a decision, I cringe! I'm currently faced with no place to live as of June 30th. I'd love to just go on vacation up there until this clears, but, if for any reason it was denied, I'd be coming...

I've been reading from others about the necessity to send all pages of the passport to them. I didn't do that originally, but I'm in such dire straits here that I was going to scan everything and email it. I am now on the edge of the window of CIC's review. If so, where do I email it, and...

Thanks for the info, Ivan-

On that subject, isn't there a way to send the passport/copy of passport with some sort of special delivery envelope/postage? Thought I had read that...

Right? The company I work for is supposedly turning the world up on end on Monday, my lease is up at the end of June and my condo being sold, and now my husband is dealing with a major knee problem after being taken to the hospital and is sequestered at home until he sees a specialist. Get...

Thanks, Libellula, for the info. My daughter is older and has aged out now, so our fingers are crossed that we are approved, since she couldn't reapply. 115 days today since sponsorship approval, getting close, I hope!

Hey, can anyone tell me if they've noticed a difference in processing times for people with children? I've heard it takes longer, less time, and the same. Does anyone have any experience with this?
