Hmm, I guess that option is only available through FBI Channelers then. If CIC accepts it on just plain paper, I would've gone with the option to have it emailed to me, which would've been much cheaper/faster.

I guess so, because mine was tamper-proof. I sent my application on October 24th, 2016, and received the official document on Oct. 31st. I got my PCC through an FBI Channeler, so that may have changed things, but it was stated in the application it would be on tamper-proof paper. When I received...

Typically, the official document will be on tamper proof paper. So if you try to make a copy of it, the copy will have "VOID" or something to that effect written on it, which would be a good indicator that the original is the official FBI report. If it's on gray paper, it's most likely the...

When you get SA or AOR2, the email will say that if you haven't paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, to do so. Or maybe they message you in MyCIC when they need you to pay the RPRF. I'm not sure because I paid it all upfront; I'm in the same situation as you, no dependents, just my husband...

Hi, just curious if there's a spreadsheet for all the Ottawa VO applicants for 2016. I've been trying to get an idea of the Ottawa VO timelines over the past year, so I've been going through all the spreadsheets for each individual month. I've gone through a bit of this thread, but the first...

That's a good plan ;D No, you don't need to apply for a PR Card. Just complete whatever forms they ask for in the new application, and that'll take care of everything.

In that case, I'd assume your December 20th medical exam should be ok. If you're applying in January, there's less chance of your medical results expiring, since applications are supposed to be completed in 12 months or less (medical results expire after 1 year). However, I've read that your...

You can fill out the new application. The medical/police record aspects of it haven't changed, so you won't need to get a new exam/police record. If you're going with the new application, there is no deadline. The Jan 31st deadline applies to the old application.

Ouch. Well we're going to move back to Canada, regardless, but now I'm thinking we won't be moving back to the US. Maybe in a decade or two... Thanks for the heads up!

The announcement was on December 7, 2016. There was a thread here outlining the changes. Overall, processing times will be much shorter, and new agents will be hired to process more applications. Here's the thread...

Hi, they recently made big changes to the spousal PR application. They will come out with a NEW application tomorrow (Dec. 15), and with it, they are getting rid of the outland/inland aspect. Everyone will submit the same application, which explains a similar wait time. You should wait for the...

I was born with just one given name and one last name (my father's last name). When I got married, I dropped my last name (maiden) entirely, so now I just have one given name and one last name (my husband's last name). My husband was born with one first name, a middle name (same as his father's...

Ok thanks! Just wanted to make sure.

I don't have a middle name, but my husband does. It says write it as it appears on your passport, so I wrote his middle name in 'Given Names' because he has it in his passport. Either way, I'd suggest just putting what your passport shows.

He's been here almost 2 years and has had his Green Card for almost a year, but regardless, he wants to retain his Canadian citizenship. We've been meaning to look into Dual Citizenship, but I'm not sure how easy that is to attain. I just want to make sure there's nothing stopping us from moving...

I had a question about the spreadsheet. One of the columns say "Stage 2 AOR (if any) OR 3rd Line." Is the 3rd line referring to 3 lines on ECAS, on the PR side? That's the only thing I can think of, but if so, wouldn't that be the same thing as the previous column, "ECAS PR Application Status...

Hmm, I'm kind of in a similar situation. My husband (Canadian) moved to the US and we went through the whole process to get his Green Card. We now want to move to Canada, and plan to settle there. Does he need to do anything/notify anyone, or will his Green Card just sort of get canceled on its...

When it says 12 months, it just means the application will be processed in 12 months OR LESS. I've gone through a couple threads where people are freaking out over this, but only good will come out of this. And for those whose processing time says December 2017, that just means that they are...

You can watch the video on CIC's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CitCanada/?fref=ts Or read the summary on the CIC website...

I would say you're a November applicant, but you can keep an eye on both the Nov. and Dec. threads.
