Yeah it's a pain in the butt to travel with for sure. Doesn't help that nobody have ever heard of it and that it's written in Arabic (and English). Instant association with Middle eastern countries. We are in the heart of South East Asia though. Cic didn't give me that much trouble with my...

I first came into canada 6 years ago with a study permit and now on my post grad work permit.

My country issues ici (international certificates of identity) that looks and acts like passports. Since we have ici's we are not considered refugees. Actually since childhood I've been travelling a lot to many countries. The big difference is I have to apply for travel visas in most countries.

Omg guys this is such a nightmare. I bet it has something to do with my country not giving citizenship as a birth right (I'm a pr in my home country hence rendering me stateless) I received another request from cic today to do fingerprints. Already booked an appointment for Monday and it is...

Yeah very frustrating. Perhaps cic website should say "countries you reside in AROUND 6 months or more since 18" Oh well looking at the bright side it only takes my country 2 weeks to issue one. And it's not too expensive :)

Yeah my MP said I might or might not get exempted she said it really depends on how much the officer like my letter . Just frustrating I would have gotten it from the very beginning to save time but the instructions clearly said otherwise

Guys I need your advise, Since it will take me some time to get PCC I went ahead and sent cic a letter explaining why I should be exempted while waiting for PCC. 1) provided stamped page of passport when I entered canada, proving that I'm younger than 18 yrs, 6 months old when I entered. 2)...

Understandable!

Also guys I encourage you to talk to your MP!! (In my case it's his assistant but same help provided) they are so helpful. She is going to ask cic about my PCC (I believe they made a mistake asking for one) we all know it's so hard to get thru cic and we have to deal with call centre agents that...

And THANK YOU everyone!!! Only DM and landing interview to go, I hope! Hopefully there will be movement for all of us tomorrow,rest of the week and rest of summer :D

From what I understand, they conduct their own search through RCMP so no need for canada. It's 6 months or longer continuously in countries other than canada since 18. In your case, because he left from 2011 to 2013 to his home country then he will need PCC from there. (And also he came here at...

Thank you. It's from CPC M

Thank you for your kind words, godbewithus! Hopefully the officer will notice the mistake that was made with my PCC and not cause any more delays for us. Or I guess another 8 month wait ahead! Sincerely hope cic m start working more efficiently as promised for all of us here

Thanks everyone, you are next god be with us! I'm currently at 10 month 3 weeks so very close to 11. They used to work ahead of posted date guess not anymore :-[

I also got an email 2 mins later: It doesn't look like DM tho :( means I probably need to submit my PCC? Dear Bruneian This refers to the Application for Permanent Residence you made under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class. It has been determined that you meet the eligibility...

Guys we got AIP more than an hour ago!! Email says Dear bruneian's husband, This refers to the Application to Sponsor a member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner In Canada Class you submitted to this office on behalf of Bruneian. You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor...

I think it will be 11 months next week too. Unless a miracle happened and they suddenly work the normal pace. So 11 months, we went back to post strike timeline. Great. This must be the worst year to apply for PR. Although historically I don't know how it was like.

Hi Canuck, I understand wher you're coming from. My parents are extremely busy so I don't see this happening in another 2 weeks anyways and by that time I might *keyword might.. hear back from cic in regards to the letter I sent. (Wishful thinking) PCC takes a while to get too, so that in itself...

Hi Canuck, first off congrats on becoming a PR! I'm choosing to wait because the website and letter clearly stated that PCC is needed if I've resided in countries since 18 for 6 months or more. I actually scanned my old passport pages and scanned the stamp of the date I entered canada in 2008...

Hahaha oh hi harmin :D welcome back
