    Do family class immigrants have to pay EI?

    Hello everyone, It is almost a year to the day since I landed in Canada as a family class immigrant from the UK. To all the people still awaiting for their visas or are just about to land, good luck and congratulations! It will be the best thing you ever did (it has been for me). One...

    Return of passport from London with Visa in it - how long?

    What is everyone's experience with this? I sent mine to London on March 15th and have not yet received anything back. I am hoping that this week it will come as it now has been over three weeks.

    JUST HEARD MY VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!!! Now for a question...

    Thanks Swede. I'm sending off my passport today. I assume you have to let the authorities know when you land what your address will be in order for them to send the PR card, or do you have to collect it from them? At the moment, my partner and I don't have a forwarding address but we could...

    JUST HEARD MY VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!!! Now for a question...

    Thank you all for your generous replies. As always, friendly response! One more thing, when my passport comes back with the visa in it, what happens next? When do I get my PR card? Upon landing in Canada? I have paid all the necessary fees up front at the beginning of my application...

    JUST HEARD MY VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!!! Now for a question...

    Hurrah! Just got an email today to say my PR visa has been approved and I am to send my passport to London for it to be processed. I am so chuffed to bits!!! One question, (and forgive me if I am being dumb) the instructions say I should include a 'self-addressed' envelope for the return of...

    I have a decision made, but still no paperwork.

    Pretty sure I've not missed the email and I've emailed them with a case number on March 1st. Still no reply from them. >:(

    Decision Made status?! anybody got the letter? what does it say?

    Thanks for the advice, but trying to get through the myriad of automated telephone menus is impossible. I tried calling this morning and simply couldn't get through to anybody. I may just email again and fax. :'(

    http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/decision-made-status-anybody-got-the-letter-what-does-it-say-t36022.0.html It seems I am in the same boat. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know if there is a huge backlog in London currently? I sent a case specific...

    Decision Made status?! anybody got the letter? what does it say?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. Ecas told me a decision had been made about 4 weeks ago. It says that my medical results have been received and that I would receive notification of this decision. To date I have yet to received anything, either by email or letter. I have been told that...

    I have a decision made, but still no paperwork.

    Thanks Whoopi! I'll certainly do all what you suggested. Thanks to everyone else for chipping in as well. I'll keep you posted.

    I have a decision made, but still no paperwork.

    Hi Whoopi! I was hoping you would come to my rescue! It is the PR applicant decision. The sponsor decision has been approved and we had a letter confirming that back in December 2009. I am just concerned as it's been over 4 weeks since the website said 'decision made'. I've not had any...

    I have a decision made, but still no paperwork.

    I don't check my spouses email. That's a betrayal of trust! ;D Seriously though, I must get loads of spam every day and MAY have just deleted anything they sent, but I do check it fairly religiously. Also I would think something as important as this they would put in writing and post out...

    I have a decision made, but still no paperwork.

    Thank you, I've just done that now. I was wondering if it was normal for an application to have a 'decision made' and then not receive any confirmation of this decision for a few weeks? I'm guessing maybe so...?

    I have a decision made, but still no paperwork.

    Hello all It said on the CIC website when I was checking the progress of my application that there was a 'Decision Made'. It also said I would be notified in writing. This was around 4 weeks ago and nothing has come through yet. I know these things take time but does anybody have any...

    What does AOS stand for and how long until I get one?

    Thanks Whoopi. My sponsor lives with me here in England, so we sent the whole application as one to London. Sillly oversight really. I did call the London office by phone today and they said in these circumstances they would send the whole thing back to me. However, they were talking...

    What does AOS stand for and how long until I get one?

    Hi there Thanks for this, I have sent the application directly to London, as the guide said. My sponsor lives with me in England, although she is a Canadian citizen. This process is so confusing and the guidance isn't always clear. I do hope now I have sent my application to London this does...

    What does AOS stand for and how long until I get one?

    Hi I know AOS is to do with the receipt of an immigration application, but I'd like to know what AOS stands for please? Also, I sent my application for permanent residency (family class visa) to the London office 2 weeks ago. Can anybody tell me if and when I will receive an AOS? Will this...
