Hi brar, sounds like you have AOR1, SA, and AOR2 already, congratulations! All thats left is to wait for a decision, really. It takes some time. Keep on the look-out for any emails requesting additional documents. Good luck to you.

Another difference to consider is that if you apply inland, you cannot appeal CIC's decision if it is negative. Also, because you already have a work permit you dont have to worry about maintaining status or traveling outside of Canada, which is one of the only drawbacks of applying Outland. In...

Sorry, I see how that was super confusing! We consider/call each other husband and wife already. We just haven't had a legal wedding because we want the wedding in the US due to my family, but haven't wanted to risk border crossing for it until I have PR. We received SA on April 21st. Ottawa...

Thanks for your input, but now I'm even more concerned because I am a common-law spouse application... What should I do?

OOOOOOH crap crap CRAP, please help me! I just realized - when it says you need "two statuatory declarations" from individuals attesting to your relationship - do those letters HAVE to be notarized?! I did not realize that's what was meant. My husband and I had 2 parents(one from each side) and...

I know what you mean!! After a long distance relationship, I've been "living" in Canada with my partner on a string of visitors visas since August 2013. Border entries 4 times, with 3 online extensions. You will be fine. But I know what you mean! I absolutely cannot WAIT to get back into the...

If it eases your mind at all, I applied for a visitor extension after my PR was sent in. I included my PR receipt and a letter of explanation. My extension was granted for 17 months after only 31 days - instead of their official processing time of 154 days online. Visa officer I spoke to told me...

Congratulations! Have you tried calling CIC to confirm if it's genuine? I hope for your sake that it is! Good luck.

Depending on your visa office and officer, you may not receive any AOR2. If it is sent, it will be sent to the Principal Applicant. The only indication I received from Ottawa VO was, my ECAS added a line saying "We began processing your application on..." and an email requesting missing documents.

Hi, you do not need to submit clearance from Canada, CIC has access to those records already. You only need to send police certificates from any country (other than Canada) if you lived there for 6 months or more after the age of 18.

I'm not sure, but my sponsor and I had the exact same thing happen - SA on April 21 and an email on April 27th requesting FBI check and IMM5409 (did you send that in/did they request it if you didn't as well?) We replied with the forms and got an automated message back. I've never heard of them...

Anyone else on here living in Canada while applying outland? I'm wondering about going to the US to visit family for Mothers Day. I currently have a visitors visa valid until July 2017, but it does not guarantee re-entry.. Does that mean that if I DO successfully cross back into Canada, I am...

I have my official SA from April 21 and ECAS still shows that side of the application as "In Process" so I'm not sure that they update it every time. You could already have SA but just not received notification.

Hi everyone, I just received my AOR2 from CPC-Ottawa via an email requesting more documents yesterday. I sent off the files this morning and received the automated message.. Now I guess I get to wait here with you guys! ;D

I just received SA via snail mail, received 6 days after it was dated and I live less than 30 min drive from CPC-M. Talk about slow! I got my AOR2 before the SA letter got here! Also, my AOR1 was 4-15 so if yours was 4-21 you are probably getting SA as we speak. Good luck!

I mailed mine on January 18th of this year, and received it on April 26th(dated April 18th) so it took 4 months for me with adequate fingerprints and no criminal history. I also sent a cashiers check instead of my credit card information and think that may have helped with processing times. The...

Yes. If you are legally married spouses then I think the marriage certificate is proof enough. But for us common-law folk, they have us fill out the form and sign with a notary.

Just received AOR2 email with request for IMM5409 which I thought was optional for some reason, and my FBI check which I received in the mail yesterday. With any luck we will have both documents scanned and sent by Friday. My application has been sent to Ottawa! We never received any email for...

I still have not received an AOR email, but I was finally able to log into ECAS today using my(applicants) old UCI number. It shows that my application was received March 21 and they began processing on April 15th. Medical Results received on applicant side. Is this my AOR? Why would I not get...

If anyone is wondering on current timelines, I called the FBI today. My application from January 19th is processed and in the mail today, and they are currently working on mail opened January 28th.
