Congrats on becoming a PR today Nrajani_99! How long did your entire process take from AOR to landing? Congrats to amelia1727 on your first stage approval! Almost feels surreal that some of us are finally reaching the end of our immigration journeys!

Currently the waiting time - according to CIC's website - is 7-8 months for first stage and 8 months for second stage. So anywhere from 15 months to 16 months. Most people are getting first and second stage in less than 11 months. This is what happened with my husband and I - we are still...

Oh my gosh, Cirene! I am so sorry to hear this! I can't imagine how you're feeling right now, I will be keeping you and the people of Venezuela in my thoughts and prayers. Do you have regular contact with your family? Are they going out to the demonstrations? Hubby was feeling the same way back...

1-888-242‑2100 Have your Client ID number with you as they ask you to type it in at some point.

Yes! Thank you, Ponga. :) Happy (early) birthday, Line. a! It's soon to be the start of a new life for you and your other half. I can't believe it took that long for them to resend you the OWP when obviously it was lost. Ah well, relax, have a drink or two and enjoy your 24th! :)

Ponga, I was trying to find the link for the CIC training documents that you posted a link for a while back, but I'm unable to find them. Would you be able to post the link again if you still have access to it? Thank you! :)

No, definitely not out of Canada. Just out of the province. :) I would be too worried to travel out of Canada without hubby having a PR card in hand. I called CIC this morning and they said that Halifax has a waiting period of 3-6 weeks for landing appointments so we're leaving at the end of...

Did he get any government checks? Or have a health card? I would bring everything with his address on it that you have.

I guess Halifax isn't a popular office to go through! :P

Congrats! Don't worry. :) My husband and I received AIP and OWP without receiving DM right away even though we sent a complete package. We just received DM today after 28 days. Not sure why some people get everything right away and others don't. Don't worry, everything will be okay. Quick...

Hey guys, My husband and I just received DM today and our file is being transferred to the local office in Halifax to wait for a landing date. We will be the first applicants in the 2013 thread to go through Halifax for our landing appointment and I was wondering what we should expect from that...

Haha, thank you, AckTivity! :) SO happy right now! He scared me and said our file had been transferred and then forwarded me the email and I realized that it was DM. This is amazing! We were afraid that it would take longer, which is great that it didn't since our medicals were due to expire on...

Guys, hubby got an email today. He's worried and thinks it's an interview, I think it's DM. Can anyone reflect on this?

You definitely can send in additional documents. My husband and I sent in additional relationship proofs 8 months after sending in the initial application. You can do this at any time, just remember to label the documents you send with the appropriate information (case #, client ID # etc) to...

In our case, my husband and I were together nearly every day before we moved together and eventually married. We did not have evidence for everything we did as some of them were not events where there would have been "evidence" - let's say we went for a walk/hike, what were we supposed to do...

Good morning, all! It's the middle of the week and I hope that we hear some more good news for people soon! :) Question: If the process for DM has already started and our medicals expire after they've already started the process, do you think they'll ask for us to redo the medicals? We really...

Harmin, first and second stage are NOT guaranteed to come together - even if the whole application was send (medicals, fees, police checks). In the case of my husband and I, we sent everything and paid all the fees and are still waiting for second stage DM. There is no way to find out if you...

Your time is coming soon Cirene! Hopefully they give you both stages at once! :) I also believe that Federal workers did not get the day off - at least that's what friends in Ontario were telling me. This is good though, means CIC had more time to work! :)

Guys, I just remembered one of the best things about applying inland today... Tim Hortons has "Roll up the Rim." :P Congrats to everyone who has heard good news in the past few days. :)
