Hi, Before you retain any immigration consultant please do a lot of research, I recently had a very bad experience with a Vancouver based consultant and unless you have major red flags in your case I wouldn't recommend hiring one. There are a lot of very knowledgeable members here that can...

Oh I know, it's just frustrating how the time jumped up with no explanation not even a consistent update every week, I mean come on, for the amount of money they receive... to quote their report that family reunification remains a key objective for them, I don't see how that is reflected with a...

I was reading the CIC 2011 Annual Report and it made me mad to read this: March 2012??? are they kidding? So much money is received by this department and their service level is nonexistent with no accountability, who do we tax payers complain to? Sorry guys I'm frustrated today, I can't...

I was sooo happy to see that, we're next! Hoping for a good update tomorrow

Had the same problem I think it had to do with the forms being created with acrobat and extending the features to adobe reader, I downloaded the trial of acrobat to be able to go back and edit cus it was a pain refilling them over and over

It's a reply, your long wait is over yay! that's a big plus now you know that they actually have your application and at least they didn't return it. Was something missing?

It totally sucks!! oh man

Me too!! The waiting is unbearable at times, I can't wait to see march sponsors get approval and then us! ;D ;D

You can send in the authorized representative form, I sent one in with our application so that they can talk to me about it

Hi Lemondrop, If only CIC was consistent with how they handle missing information. I forgot to include the 8 applicant pics with my application and so far they haven't returned it, after freaking out calling CIC a couple of times and reading the forum I found out that sometimes they return the...

I didn't include all of it, it seemed excessive, we had over 3000 pages of skype logs and the same amount of emails. I included screen shots of emails and chats and selected a few emails where we talk about our future, our savings, the day I passed my exams, and I made a note to say that the...

That's normal, it won't work until AOR or approval is received.

omg that's awesome!!! really happy for you!!! hopefully that means you'll be getting sponsor approval soon PS. did you try logging in with the UCI number?

hi hestgot, I'm also in a same sex relationship, as far as I understand and from the research I did, same sex marriage is only recognized if it happens in Canada, but don't quote me on this. I believe it is in one of the operational manuals, I'll look it up and confirm. Hopefully one of the...

They're counting 90 days from feb 7 to may 7 which is the date of the update, so thankfully it's not working days. I'm counting 90 days from the date I submitted, roughly the third week in july to hear something

I was expecting no movement either, so some movement is good, it's depressing that it's up to 90 days now but as long as the date keeps changing I'll take it

It was past noon Vancouver time last week... another hour or two and hopefully it's updated. It's depressing to see no movement in the forum, no approvals buuuu CIC

Your case sounds very complicated I would suggest hiring a lawyer as it will definitely raise red flags for CIC. From reading appeal cases on CanLII officers do look back on previous applications and have denied for misrepresentation if the information provided is different.

My wife thinks the same thing, we were talking about that the other day, wondering if they have queues separating cases... it's all a mystery. But it kinda fits in with how some cases get approved really fast and others don't. Then there's the applications that are real but are a mess, from...

Great thanks!
