Congratulations! I remember this feeling! You're on the way and hubby will be back sooner than you think!

Hey MissD, I can't believe how dead this forum is :(... it used to be lively. C&T did a great job with the spreadsheet but I know she was getting busy so it is great you could take it back. My updates are on there, but you can add (when you get a chance) that we had a RCMP request in March...

PMarshall! Congratulations!!!!!!!! Another fast one!

@Behopeful! Sooooo good to "see" you! We're still waiting away for the ARC to get processed. It's been with them for over a month now so trying to practice patience! How is your fam??

Still here MissD! Get cracking and get that app in :) just teasing, of course, we all know how much work it takes and it is best to take your time and do it right and leave no question in their petty brains.

Where has everybody gone? I know it is summer and all :)

Definitely get in touch with them, perhaps even through your MP, if you have a helpful one. I've heard of up to 4 weeks for a PP return but not that long.

Hi PMarshall, If you go under your Profile, it is one of the options there. Congrats on getting your AOR.

MsRuby! Congratulations--I can't wait to hear your landing story! KIAB, thank you so much, it hasn't been easy staying focused on the end goal and not the trials and tribulations of this horrible experience... but good will come of it and we know that... I'm sorry to hear about the snafu with...

MissDanish - I'm glad you found a place and a good price! :) Best of luck preparing for your interview. I think the best advise is of course to know your application in and out but also if they start to hassle about anything, realize that they are likely just trying to throw you off, so don't'...

My husband stayed at Alicia's Guest House (http://www.aliciaspalace.com/alicias-house/) when he was there for his interview, which we found through this forum, previous members have stayed there as well. He said it was fine and the price is pretty reasonable. It is close to the high commission...

Hi P Marshall -- welcome to the forum and best of luck on your process!

Hi Miss D, on our application, hubby put "1" for Question 3. This is application to come to Canada, which you won't be a part of b/c you're here (or will be). They didn't say we were wrong...

Miss D, I did not change my name (and likely won't). We filled out all of the paperwork with my maiden name (i'm the sponsor) and as far as I can tell, that has been the least of our worries. There was no mention of it in our notes or in hubby's interview. If you do decide to take his name, I...

Princess, It seems like they take 2-4 weeks, so it should be coming to to you soon. If you check on ECAS, if it moves to decision made, that would mean that they've sent back the passport to you :)

Hi C&T, As you'll see on my post above, CBSA/CIC was utterly useless! I've PM'd Chickie as well and in the meantime, we are submitting everything we have on the off chance it is sufficient. My patience is about worn :(. Hope you're doing well!

Hi Behopeful! Thank you for the awesome suggestion. He did a double check and we still don't have these documents, I have called CBSA and CIC a couple of times each and this is how it goes. CBSA wants to have nothing to do with it b/c they just do this service on behalf of CIC so they don't...

@MissRuby - congratulations!! I totally get where you're coming from with the apprehension but this is a really great sign.

<<UPDATE>> We got emails today requesting us to redo medicals and ARC... which does suck with regards to time and money (it is almost 1000 EC for the medical) but is mostly 100% awesome!!! Our only issue is that for the ARC, the form asks us to attach a copy of the departure order and...

@brit...if they are processing arc, they may need a bit more time but at the same time, I learned my lesson to not wait too long. It won't hurt to ask...
