Nice to see things moving along for you almostsean. And a big congrats, bagelbagel. Such an exciting time for you.

Looks like it. If they didn't request any further documents then it should be the last step. Congrats! Has your eCAS changed to "in process"?

Thanks and congrats in advance for your COPR.

Guess what! Just checked eCAS a few minutes ago, my status just changed to in process. Guess the CIC gods heard my complaint. So it's official, eCAS can update anytime during the week.

Thanks for that clarification. Every bit of it was accurate especially the addictive part. It has changed my whole daily routine. Checking eCAS has become like my meals a day. Check in the morning, check at noon, check at least once or twice in the evening. And definitely a check before bedtime. :D

Don't see why it would be a problem. Are you from visa exempt country?

I know its been mentioned before and on the CIC website that eCAS is updated once a week, usually on Wednesdays. But is this just for when your application is still in stage 1 and being processed within Canada? I have heard people say that they received 2, sometimes 3 updates to their status in...

Huh? He is withholding something that is essentially yours. What kind of BS is this? This is exactly why I didn't use a representative. The whole process is already nerve wracking alone, then you add on having to deal with a middleman. I feel for you. I would firmly demand that your lawyer at...

Good points. Your second opinion is probably the most likely reason I think.

Most VOs won't allow you to drop it off in person. HK is an example of that. But I still don't know why they have to hold the actual passport, even for applicants who are visa exempt. Is there an actual purpose? VOs like Manila and New Delhi hold passports for over 3 months for no apparent...

Not sure if this has been addressed before but couldn't find a clear answer. So after PPR why do they hold on to your passports for anywhere between 1 month to some cases over 4 months. I don't understand. If they request your passport doesn't that mean that they have done all their checks and...

Good luck with everything and again congrats.

I was in the same situation. On the form I just typed 8 zeros so that the form could be validated. And on a separate sheet I wrote an explanation that I wasn't able to locate the UCI number. I also made a photocopy of my landing paper and included it with the application. No problems they gave...

Yes you can help your spouse fill out the forms. As for interview I think you can request a translator.

Just state that you have not been living in Canada for the past xx of years so didn't file taxes so that is why you do not have an Option C form

The current time is 35 days give or take a few weeks or days. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp If you are lucky you might get an AOR before then but not guaranteed.

Wow congratulations bobokiko. You mean they received your passport last Friday and they processed and send it back today less than a week? Wow that's crazy fast. Can you give us some details? Did your ecas show any change from last Friday? When was the visa dated? Thanks.

That must be some sort of record Rob _TO. Congrats.

Congrats Marty11, will indeed be a very merry Xmas for you guys.

Trying calling a few minutes before 8am. Memorize the extension numbers so you don't need to listen to the whole recording before pressing the number for the next option. Keep calling. I got through on my third try the first time. And the second time I called I got though right away but by...
