I certainly will, otherwise Kraft Dinner will be on the menu :) i wish I would have known about his forum before I applied. I felt quite overwhelmed and terribly anxious. But, it's all good now! Tomorrow is our last " warm" day, it beats a windchill of - 33 c though .i am getting too old for...

I am able to access ECAS and it said they are processing my husband. If it wouldn't have been for this forum, i would not have known what I did wrong. Since I was an immigrant myself a loooong time ago, it was my UCI that was given, not my husband's.. hence my old name too. Coz that's the one I...

Ok, that explains a few things to me. I am a sponsor but immigrated myself way back in 1985, am now a Canadian Citizen. I was utterly surprised when they addressed me by my old name in our AOR.. I was puzzled and quite a bit concerned. They must have looked me up under my UCI , hence the old...

I guess my hubby and I will have to be patient then as we did not pay the RPRF upfront..Dang! Too close to Christmas..:( I think the fees are 490, right? Not quite sure about the medical.. Gotta look it up. Anyhow, we just got our second AOR, tried to enter it in the spreadsheet, alas it did not...

Thank you so very much! Yep, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I will pursue this and relax.

Where can I order ours? Right on their website? I just want to make sure. Thanks, Bea

That does not sound very organized or maybe they had technical glitches. Thanks for the info , I will consider GCMS notes..

I sure wouldn't ..:) I was thinking along the same lines regarding Saturday emails. Took me by surprise though..And yeah, you are right about ECAS..

That was indeed very fast! Our app was was received on Nov.25 and I received our AOR last Saturday. I have been signing into ECAS daily but apparently we are not being processed yet..Oh well.. Perhaps they are processing yours because of the OWP which my husband does not require as he is...

No clue, but I was surprised to get my AOR on a Saturday! Usually the government does not work on holidays, but you never know..:)

Thank you! Wow, that is unnerving for sure.. I am more or less a worrier but I will think positive and won't imagine all kinds of awful scenarios ( which I am great at doing). We need to sit back and relax, as hard as it is.. I would send any mail to them with a tracking number or courier, then...

I was referring to checking our status on their website which I was not able to do! I looked at the spreadsheet as well and was surprised how far behind they were.Although I have seen some applicants that got their SA within 3 months..I can very well imagine how frustrated you must be.I am also...

Us as in applicants..:) I was joking. Competing opinions I would not consider as seriously as people's experiences.. Then again, every case is unique. You sure seem to have acquired quite a bit of knowledge and it is nice that you are sharing it with us..

Woohoo! That's awesome , and here I was worried! I got to say that you guys are much more knowledgeable than any immigration specialist at the Mp's office..:) Hmm is there a future for us?? haha

Thank you so much! We had to scrape the money together for the app so we need some time to save for the RPRF. One more question: my husband's Temporary Resident Visa is expiring soon. Just applied for an extension. Once it is approved I will have to give the info to CIC Mississauga. Is there a...

Oh wow! i had no idea! My husband won't require a work permit as he is retired. his TRV is about to expire but as soon as we get the extension I will go to Alberta Healthcare.. great news! Thank you so much for the info!

I see.. is that what you did? well, it is what it is for us.. All this is quite expensive.. I also read some conflicting info regarding health care in Alberta ( that's where we are) One source stated that my husband could apply for it when the first response from CIC is favourable, another one...

Thanks a bunch for clueing me in . From what i have noticed by looking at the individual sheets the processing times have somewhat lessened.I am fine waiting for a month or more..as long as they approve me as a sponsor. When I was working on the application the immigration specialist at my...

In other words, it is not being processed yet. Thank you very much for your answer ! I am so very glad that I have fond this forum! Makes me feel more at ease . Another question. I entered our info ( I am the sponsor) on the spreadsheet but I don't see it on my profile like you have it, flag...

Hi There, We are new to this forum. We sent in our app on November 24 and it was received on Nov. 25. Today we received an AOR giving us a UCI. When I tried to check our case I was not able to access it, just like another member mentioned in a previous post. Looks like it is common... Also...
