    I think you should be ok, especially with that recall message. This is what our batch email looked like, which we basically ignored:

    Option C printout

    I have called and requested option C print out and got it in less than two weeks. CRA works a thousand times quicker than CIC, so I don't think you should worry too much.

    Getting married in Ukraine

    That's a hard one, the country is at war with Russia and lost some of its territory already, so I guess it depends where you are exactly.

    They could have misplaced it, do they specifically refer to that document? Or just a general batch email? This is their call center: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp

    common law vs marriage stats?

    We applied 5 months after getting married and had no issues, did not want to take any chances to apply with common-law scenario. Common-law seems very vague, some get lucky with it and some don't with the immigration process getting stuck for over a year or more. And yes, you would need an...

    Exactly ;D, I would also never understand how many can spend thousands (25-30k) on marriage... Its just a piece of paper at the end, that's all.. Oh well..

    I always thought that getting married is just an official paper from the government about your relationship, so if your partner hesitates I would be concerned. Your partner should not even be troubled with this (if he/she really wants to be with you) in a way immigration process is a true...

    What your CBSA file looks like

    So you think another country has a complete access to information stored in agencies like CRA? Right at the border, through their computers?

    I think it took about 2 months for us to get DM after seeing Review Required in GMCS. When it happens it usually means initial rep has no issues with your application and they put it in a new queue where a final authority can make an approval for COPR, so that's a good sign that you see this...

    What your CBSA file looks like

    Interesting, I always wondered about US border agency though, to what kind of information they have access. I remember being asked where I worked and what my position was while being processed at the US border, officer was staring at the monitor meanwhile (to see if I lie or not?). Do they...

    Apply for SIN number for taxes

    Please provide me a link on CRA website with this regulation, where it exactly says to put 0s as your spouse's SIN number. It does not matter what forums say and that it is OK to do so by some mutual agreement rule. Trust me, software developers would include such option where you could say - I...

Not sure what CRA reps tell you over the phone but often they don't know what they...

    Apply for SIN number for taxes

    CRA and CIC have a completely different understanding of what is considered to be a resident. Please read this and consider the proper way of filing your taxes. I would definitely advise not to put any fake sin numbers such as 000 000 000 http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/nnrsdnts/cmmn/rsdncy-eng.html
