So I received PPR in early September, however I just received an email Friday asking for proof of financial support. Question is, are they looking for proof that my sponsor can support me, or are they asking for proof that I can support myself? Its a bit of a catch 22 to me. I mean, technically...

Technically........However there's also a requirement that the person being sponsored prove that he/she has a steady history of income or proof that they have interest from Canadian employers etc. Bank statements, taxes, letters from past employers. Basically, they want you to prove that you...

Ironically, just a few hours after calling CIC, I get an email from Ottawa, asking for proof of financial support. I was a little shocked and confused at the same time. They already asked for my passport a month and a half ago. Now I have to show proof of income, which will be difficult since I...

Its been a month and a half since I received my passport request. There has been no change in my ecas status since I applied in February however. I do not know if I have DM or not, or if my papers are already in queue for printing. So about a month after PPR I emailed CIC to confirm that they...

I emailed CIC about three weeks ago, but received no response. Yeah, ecas should stand for "Extremely Careless About Status".

I'm just as frustrated as you. Even more so because I never got DM after my PPR. Forty two days later, and I still wait. So I have no idea what my status is. I don't know of anyone else who didn't get DM after their PPR. Its like they requested my passport and then tossed my application in a...

I have a similar timeline to yours. I got my PPR just a few weeks after you. In my case I didn't need to send additional documents since I had sent everything with the application in February. However, I still haven't received Decision Made either, and its been over forty days. So no telling how...

Thanks! :) I wasn't sure about my status, since my ecas never changed to DM after the PPR.

I got a similar email on September 3, 2013. I didn't need to send any additional documents in my case, just a scanned copy of my passport. Unfortunately, I can't give you an estimate as to when you will see your COPR. Has your ecas status changed to "Decision made" or "In process"? Doesn't...

Thanks for the info, but I'm American, being processed through the Ottawa office. :)

Does the same apply for those who have already received passport requests? I got a passport request on September 3rd. Should I assume that my app is back in a queue for further processing in a few months?

From what I understand, you can still use you US license until the PR card comes because Canada won't issue a new license until you get it. Technically, you have something like three months to change it anyway, and if DMV here doesn't yet recognize you as a resident anyway, then you should...

They don't take it, they just want to look at it to help confirm your identity. Also, once you land, They won't accept just the COPR to get a license. You have to wait until your PR card comes to get a Canadian license.

I have the opposite problem. I applied on February 25, 2013, and on September 3rd I got PPR. That was 31 days ago. However, my ecas status has never changed to DM or even In Process. I emailed CIC about a week ago to confirm that they had received my scanned passport copy (Visa exempt, so no...

:D :D :D Congratulations! :D :D :D Sigh :o ??? :-[ :-\ :'(

The times are never exact. Sponsorship approval usually takes about 30 days, but that can vary. Some people wait longer. The PR application processing times listed on the CIC website are only updated about once a month if memory serves. The processing times are averaged based on the amount of...

No, the US border is not affected by the US Government shutdown. Only certain services are affected during shutdowns.

:o Congrats jds07! ;D Now I shall go wallow in self pity. :P

Sure thing. Hope yours comes soon as well. :)

Thanks, me too. Since I haven't received a change to DM on my ecas, I have no way of knowing whether they have already put me in the queue, or if I haven't even gotten to that stage yet. I have to leave by early November at the latest in order to stay under six months. The hard part is that back...
