That's strange, I went to Walgreens and they had settings based on different countries, like one for US photos, one for Canada photos, etc. Maybe it depends on the individual store.

I applied a month earlier than the December applicants getting their BGC now, but mine still hasn't started, and my application is very straightforward. Just wanted to point that out in case your application doesn't go as quickly as theirs, so don't get too bummed if that happens! Overall...

Wow, another December US applicant speeding ahead of November! I'm happy for you, but it's a bit of a surprise. Fingers crossed my BGC goes in progress soon :D

Thanks danawhitaker, +1! I knew it was a simple fix, I just couldn't figure out how to fix it haha.

Hi, I'm having trouble with the spreadsheet. For some reason, it's only showing New Delhi timelines. It looks like the rest of the rows are hidden, but I'm not able to unhide those rows. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

For someone who got their DM less than 2 months after applying, it shouldn't be too hard to wait a tiny bit longer ;)

Typically job applications will directly ask "Are you legally allowed to work in Canada" and I don't want to lie. Since I can't be sure when I'll get approved, I worry that I'll get an interview or even job offer, and I won't be able to show proof that I can work in Canada, so they'll disqualify...

Thanks for the update and congrats! My application was received on November 21st, so hopefully I see something soon! I'm not in any rush to leave the US, but I'd like to start applying to jobs, and I'm sure once an employer sees that I'm not legally allowed to work in Canada yet, they throw away...

I agree with danawhitaker. In your case, it's very unlikely that Ottawa will request an additional PCC due to yours expiring (I haven't heard about that happening to anyone else), but even if that were to happen, you can use an FBI Channeler that they list on the CIC site, and you'll have a new...

If they requested documents on MyCIC, then submit the documents through MyCIC. Technically, that's still email (electronic mail).

Whatever name you put on the immigration forms should be the same name as your ID and passport. I changed all of my documents in my husband's last name after getting married, but put off changing my passport. I ended up applying for a new passport with my new name, so there's not any confusion...

That's awesome, congratulations!! ;D Please update the spreadsheet, with your Background Check/Decision Made/PPR dates :)

If US Citizens' and Australian citizens' packets are both sent to Ottawa, I believe they'd have roughly the same processing times. If you look at the US thread (with everyone going through Ottawa) they tend to complete applications in about 4-6 months, with some as little as 2 months. I believe...

I got mine in a regular envelope in my mailbox. No signature required, though I did have it sent to my residential address, so I'm not sure if that's a factor.

ECAS won't update until a decision is made for your application. MyCIC should update before then to notify you of any missing documents or that your background check is in process. The background check is the next step for you, and, depending on your VO, it can take as little as a month to...

Hey, maybe the sizing was off? I'm just saying this because when I went to get my passport photos, I found out that the US uses a different size. Ours are square, whereas Canada's passport photo requirements are elongated (longer vertically than horizontally). This may not be the issue, but I...

IRCC just implemented pretty big changes to the immigration timeline for everyone. Now, everyone is given a 12 month timeline, regardless of inland/outland or visa offices. It hasn't been long enough to see if any particular visa offices are faster than others, or if they all have roughly the...

I believe you only get signature notification if you send it by private courier, not Canada Post. Either way, if you know it's been delivered, that's all that matters. Everyone posts about who signed for their package, but it's just because they're really excited (which is understandable). So...

That's actually more than most can provide! ;D We weren't able to provide a job offer, since we had no clue as to when we'd be moving, and it would be a few months out anyway. What we did is provide letters: one was from his mother stating that she can attest to him moving back, and her and the...

This is what I got from the CIC website: ---- Who can become a sponsor You can become a sponsor if you are: -a Canadian citizen, a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act or a permanent resident -at least 18 years old -living in Canada -If you live in Quebec, you...
