I received a letter from CIC today asking for "what is my current country of residence" This informations is used in the "reassessment of medicals, since your medicals have expired" Does anyone know why they didn't just ask us for re-medical? And I thought we can get medical exam anywhere in...

i had something similar. Fees, ARC, and an updated police record was requested in September. I submitted all of it, and it's been a month. I wonder how long is left. My Medicals expired 2 weeks ago too, so I am guessing the next time they respond to us, will be re-medical. This whole...

So you check processing times here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp The first sentence is: "The tables below indicate application processing times at Canadian visa offices once Step 1 has been completed." Step 1 is for Sponsor Approval, which is 56 days at...

That timeline is for FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS This forum is for Family Class sponsorship, so maybe you guys are talking about different things. I believe family class sponsorship is 17 months. and yes, you start counting from the time the VO has started processing the application (from...

So happy for all those who have gotten their PRs already. There's still a few of us left, likely all applicants from VO that is elsewhere than Ottawa. Hang tight guys, I'm sure our turn is just around the corner. Just praying we aren't spending another cold winter in Canada alone again.

My husband is the one from Romania. And he would like to have left yesterday, if you know what i mean. It's been a year since we are apart.. I read CutiePie before, and that's why I am worried. I don't want application to keep dragging on and on. What the fastest way to submit passport...

I got document request from the VO now. I am wondering if they will try to approve us before my medical expires. They said we have 30 days to submit our stuff and that we must rush because medical expires Oct. 3. I think no matter how we rush it, Oct 3 is really close... ??? ???

yes the VO asked for ARC fee last week, with updated police clearance. I am going to mail and email everything in. it's really hard to tell how long these things take. So many people say different things ranging from PPR 2 days later, or 6 months later. But so far, I think it's a positive...

That's great to hear how quick the process can be. I am just sending in my ARC letter and Payment now. I'm looking at timelines and surprised to see that after PPR, getting Visa still takes a few extra weeks after that too... my medicals expires in 3 weeks, so we'll have to redo medical...

I'm also sending my ARC fees now & medical is expiring in 3 weeks. I wonder how long it will be until we get approved. Or if they will call us for interview. I think my case is similar to Violett11 except I applied late November 2014. Our visa office says 16-17 months more processing, but...

I am in a similar position.. Very complicated application and deportation and removal order.... I was asked for additional documentation similar to yours. So I am curing if your decision was good??? I thought the VO would request an interview or discuss ARC too .. but when they requested...

Congratulations!!!! That's fantastic news CutiePie!! I would enter May 12 or ASAP instead of redoing medical. But then if u can't, then redo the medical I guess. U don't have to wait til it expires to redo it if that's what you're asking.

yeah, anyone have any news or movement from them? I don't even know how long it takes for them to receive our application once the SA is done.. Do they even give you an AOR2?

ABCml & rhcohen2014 Thank you for the clarification!

Re: ordering GCMS NOTES I tried ordering them today, but got confused near the end. When I pick Privacy Act, then Case notes, then it makes me choose: sponsorship (for my file) OR immigration - permanent residence (for my husbands file) Can I order both?? Obviously I want to know...

Congrats for you Gus that are pretty much done with this wretched process!!! Great to hear that things are moving quickly... At least for some people. And for the rest of us... We can just hope and pray we're next in line.

Can someone tell me whether notes from your first sponsorship can be ordered even after the case/file is cancelled? I am doing a second sponsorship (for the same spouse) and it's just started being processed now, but I think it will be helpful if I got to see the notes from the previous file...

I have had legal counsel & they have always implied that having a skilled trade, bilingualism, fluency in English etc... Are beneficial to your application. And logically this makes sense that the government would like to bring in people who will be able to contribute to canadian economy...

Congrats for SA finally. Sorry to hear about London VO. Mine will take 16 months, and it's a complicated file so I suspect I'll be in this discussion for a good while... at least you have company. =)

I been given advice from a lawyer about this. It's likely a red flag, but that doesn't mean rejection. Just means more scrutiny as to whether your relationship is genuine & on-going. Some cultures have more traditional & strict values and its common to hear these kinds of problems. Have...
