July, 13. But I'm still waiting for my visitor status to be restored, first, in about 2 weeks or so. I already stated my job hunting; in some ideal script I hope I'd get an offer by the end of Oct/ early Nov so I can get to work as soon as the permit will arrive in the mail. Wishful thinking, I...

6 months it's a lot... I thought it's around 3 or something like that. But I guess it depends on the job. My husband also said that once I have the OWP it doesn't mean I hafta jump into the first offer I have; he'd continue to support me so I can take my time and find something that I will...

Sheldon Cooper. Hahahha that's a good one! OHIP is something that really bugs me too. I have pet insurance for my cat and yet me as a human being I am here with no coverage at all. I looked for some private insurance that are available on the market but it's so expensive and it covers almost...

To be fully honest, I don't really care if they process my app in 8 month or 26 month. I think the OWP is what allows you to have a normal life, health care, feeling useful again. But maybe it's because I haven't got mine yet; probably once I'll have the work permit I will need more to happen...

I've seen that too! But if I remember it correctly, the app was received early 2015 ( January or something). It seems to me they wanted to recoup for all those month when they just sat there doing nothing... Anywayz... Misterios are the ways of IRCC...

I was wondering what exactly are they doing under this "security check" stage. They do have the PCC, or they ask for new ones, but except for that.. I don't imagine anyone knocking at my neighbor's door back home asking if I was a trustworthy citizen, or if I paid my utilities in time or if I...

Wow that's so good to know! You're a week ahead of me. I should probably expect some changes too... Sorry but I have no idea how long security check is suppose to last. I guess it depends on the home country of the PA or how many countries she/he had been living before... Anywayz, it's a big...

Radio silence...

SA - AIP for the sponsor. 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 ***. You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent Residence (APR) for your...

AOR - usually the sponsor receive it, sometimes the applicant, sometimes both, sometimes none. "This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on *** on behalf of the following member(s): ***"

I have applied for restoration of status late August, since my visitor visa expired just few days before sending my PR app. No news on my TRV since then, until this morning when I got this email from CIC: "There have been no updates to your application (V.....) since you last checked your...

Is this just a recommendation, a suggestion, a petition or a policy now in effect? Cause it says some interesting things in there ...

Niiiice! With no medical or PCC upfront! By the way, what happened to CanadianAlien? I ask cause I know the two of your were PIC ;D I hope he got his OWP and now he's struggling with workaholism.

Congrats!!! That's fantastic news! They are moving faster indeed. They processed the PR app faster than the OWP app?!?! :o

You worry too much, but that's normal :) I met my husband online too, last year. I came to Canada for winter holidays (about 2 weeks) on a visitor visa and back in May this year; we got married in June and applied for PR inland mid-July. I didn't mention anything about my plans to the CBSA...

Hi, I was wondering.. How long does it take for your status to be restored? I've applied for visitor restoration in late August and nothing yet. Do they process it within the extension time-frame, cause I couldn't see any processing time for restoration on CIC website, only new visa or visa...

Oh no, that's way out of my league... My major is in English, not accounting. I took a 2 semesters accounting course in my home country and got a certification, but that's not even close to a BA. I was just wondering if that would be of any use for me here, since it clearly states on the diploma...

Hi profiler, I assume your wife already had her IELTS, she didn't take the test specifically for this application, right? In my opinion, including a proof that she's fluent in English is a very good idea; it's one of those things they look for in the "common background" area, such as no big age...

I wouldn't worry much about that; I cannot check my sponsors' ECAS either.. But even if they added some wrong info to the electronic file the papers are still ok so this won't affect your processing. They will figure it out at some point.

Congrats, Vaya! And thanks for the insights. Best wishes!
