If it was me, I would resubmit with all updated forms ASAP. I would send the old FBI clearance but I would order a new one now in case they request a new one...you would have it ready to send in right away.

Oh, I am so sorry to read that Kiri :( . That is super stressful. That happened to Luckyman in the August group - you might want to look up his posts to find out how he handled it.

Congrats Mrs. Winter! Not everyone gets an AOR, *and* some people find the AOR email in their spam folder.

I was recommended by a member of this forum to write an letter explaining what my plan is to support myself and my husband if needed - employment situation, assets, etc. They are not supposed to refuse you based on your income, but on the other hand, you still need to show that you have a plan...

We submitted our application mid-August and my husband's visitor stay expires Oct 18. We'll be filing an extension to be received by Sep 18 as they recommend. Any pointers about how we can have a successful application in our situation? He is living here and although we will emphasize his...

All that matters is that their barcode reader can read the printed barcodes. If you have any doubt about the ability of your printed to print high enough resolution barcodes for that, it's worth getting the barcode pages printed elsewhere. I am assuming that modern inkjet printers printing in...

They actually recommend laser printing the barcode pages, but I just inkjet printed using high quality.

Is there a spreadsheet for US outland spousal cases being processed in Ottawa?

Please add me to the spreadsheet when you have the chance :)

Oh Tink, that must be so hard :( . I hope that things will be getting faster for all of us.

I've been wondering if anything has been happening at CPP-O...excited to see MOVEMENT.

I did pay them. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#pay-fee

It says: So, in theory, the wait period could start from when you pay the fee, as long as you have the AOR to back in up (proof that you actually applied after paying the fee). By the time we receive the AOR, we would be eligible to apply, and the wait period of 3 months would have already...

Sweden, I'm not sure it's that straightforward, regarding health care. For example in BC, a spouse who is applying for permanent residency and in Canada as a visitor may qualify for health coverage...

Does anyone know if any decisions on Permanent Residence have been made in Ottawa (CPP-O) yet (for U.S. applicants)? edited to add: looks like they had 12 decisions in the 12 months up to March 31, 2012...

We sent our application off yesterday, and I can't believe what a relief it is. I didn't realize how much of a burden it was, knowing that the clock wouldn't start ticking until we submitted it.

I had a separate section on "relationship and marriage proof" and in it I had subsections. I wrote more than was on the form and included photos printed out on regular paper. In the form questions I answered with a short blurb and then included "see section XXX for more details" at the end. I...

Sorry to read about your situation Kiri. Financial worries don't help at all, do they?

I followed the advice that I read in this forum to submit the 2011 statement and then a 2012 statement for the year so far - using the CRA form. I also included a table showing how my self-employment income for the previous 12 months was calculated (using monthly averages from the statements...

Oh, that is fabulous ;D
