    "Decision made"... For 9 months?

    Hey Sheila, I think you should just call Immigration Canada or try to contact your VO. We ordered GCMS notes after we hadn't heard anything for over 6 months. Turned out, they hadn't touched our file in 5 months and we were stuck on the penultimate step. We called Immigration Canada and...

    Question about when our 1 year common law can begin

    Hey kil3ki We were in a similar situation. Our first 15 months living together were spent in hostels and campgrounds in New Zealand. I ended up emailing all the hostels, campgrounds, hotels we stayed at and asked them for proof/confirmation that we had stayed there, and asked them to specify in...

    Does the sponsor need exams to or just principle applicant?

    Nursegabo is correct. Only the PA needs to undergo a medical.

    Landing date extension. Anyone had one?

    I got my medical done 6 months before we sent in our application. (Medical was done December 2015, application sent in June 2016). I was approved March 2017. My medical had expired by then, but it was never a problem. They didn't ask me for an extension or a new one. According to my COPR, I had...

    Problem in getting SIN ........

    My apologies for the late reply. So, when I landed, something went wrong (whether it was the officers fault, or a computer error, I don't know), and so the system did not know I had landed. That meant that the PR card process didn't get started. So when I went to get my SIN, I couldn't get it...

    Problem in getting SIN ........

    Hi, I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago. Went to Service Canada, they told me my profile was "flagged" but couldn't tell me why. I went back home and called CIC, they told me my profile hadn't updated yet. I went back to Service Canada the next week, same problem. This time I had...

    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Approved as of January 18th! We were always told Ottawa was dealing with our file, but the approval email came from the Paris VO. Sent in the necessary paperwork to Paris and received an email on February 3rd asking for a confirmation of Canadian address. Just waiting for that COPR so I can go...

    Background check in progress for 2 months - VO Ottawa

    Thank you for all your replies, Profiler! Just checking you mean to call 1-800-242-2100. It took me about 15 calls last time to get through, but if it eventually leads to something it's all good :)

    Background check in progress for 2 months - VO Ottawa

    So....more than a month later, posting with no updates to MyCIC or ECAS, and no correspondence from CIC. However, I have received my GCMS notes (ordered November 15th) and am even more confused than before. Eligibility, criminality, medical, etc., were all "passed" as of 2016/09/30. My partner...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    I just got my GCMS notes, ordered November 15th. My girlfriend and I have been waiting for any news about our app, as nothing has been updated through MyCIC or ECAS since September, and we haven't received email or any kind of correspondence - well, the final officer note for our file is dated...

    APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Same boat! Our background check has been in progress since the start of September with no update. Ottawa VO, so maybe even a bit odder? Currently trying to figure out what's going on with our application...

    Background check in progress for 2 months - VO Ottawa

    Thanks for the info - I'll try the number. It's not that our application as a whole has exceeded our timeline expectations, but that on the forum it appears that for all Outland cases, regardless of VO, COPR usually comes within a week of background check changing to in progress. Again, I...

    Background check in progress for 2 months - VO Ottawa

    (making this it's own post as I haven't had replies on the June thread) My girlfriend and I have been using the forum to gauge our progress since applying, even though we have a straightforward app (visa exempt country, common-law status, no red flags). We are starting to be concerned with our...

    My girlfriend and I have been using the forum to gauge our progress since applying, even though we have a straightforward app (visa exempt country, common-law status, no red flags). We are starting to be concerned with our timeline, as nothing has been updated since early September. It appears...

    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Thanks so much for all the well wishes :D This forum was super helpful when we were putting our package together, and it just feels so good now to actually have it out of our hands, and have the whole process properly beginning. I'm sure more SA's are on their way!

    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    AOR received June 21st (actually the 17th, but we were assigned a new case number the 21st), and received SA July 27th! We applied Outland, assuming Paris to be our assigned VO (common-law partner is Belgian), but according to the SA email we will be processed at the Ottawa CPC. Anybody else...
