    US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

    My credit card was charged today by the FBI! :D I submitted my finger prints on March 26, they were probably received a few days after that.

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I'm still hoping for the day that CIC allows channeler reports once again. Too hopeful? Maybe. Practical? Absolutely. Who's with me?? :P

    Just getting started - need help finding open work permit forms

    US outland applications are not processed in NY or LA. They are initially processed at CPC-Mississauga for sponsorship approval, and then transferred to CPC-Ottawa to assess the rest of the application. Another thing, is that the times listed on CIC's website are not accurate at all for routine...

    Just getting started - need help finding open work permit forms

    I believe that you are correct about the address. You will need to use the forms for the outland application, not inland, if that is what you are choosing.

    Just getting started - need help finding open work permit forms

    There's a great chance that if your outland application has no major hiccups, you could receive PR within 6-8 months, which is the amount of time that you were hoping to receive an open work permit. Inland's open work permit pilot program is enticing, but if you can plan on waiting just a little...

    Just getting started - need help finding open work permit forms

    This may help you. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=178&t=17 Have you considered applying outland? A lot of people on this forum strongly advise that US applicants should apply outland instead of inland because US outland applicants get processed much quicker than the times...

    MAY 2015 Spouse Application OUTLAND

    http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp If you look at the bottom of the page, it says it was last modified on 2015-05-09, even though the form says April 2015. As for myself, I am almost positive that I didn't see the change on the 8th when we were finalizing everything. I...

    MAY 2015 Spouse Application OUTLAND

    I did not see the change to the form until after CIC received my application on May 12. Technically, the website was updated on May 9, which is when we mailed off the application. Hopefully our apps won't get sent back to us.

    [US applicant] Does it make sense?

    If your partner is from the US, you should definitely consider outland. I thought about inland for about 5 seconds, and then quickly changed my mind when I saw how quickly US applicants were being processed. You'll still have to wait for your OWP, why not wait a few months longer for permanent...

    MAY 2015 Spouse Application OUTLAND

    I am sure that it will be okay. The important thing is that you got the address.

    How I organized our applcation and a summary of all helpful tips I have learned

    Instead of envelopes, we clipped the application into three sections, with a table of contents at the front of each. We made the possible mistake of only including the marriage license in the third clip (proof of relationship). At least our application isn't huge, but it's probably best to...

    Is this CIC eReceipt weird?

    canuck_in_uk, you are awesome! Thanks so much for clarifying.

    Is this CIC eReceipt weird?

    By the way, there is a section for the Client ID, which is empty (this is my first time paying fees/applying). At what point do we receive a Client ID#? What about UCI#?

    Is this CIC eReceipt weird?

    I paid my application fees online tonight and entered all of my information, such as date of birth, address, phone number and submitted my payment. The receipt reads those information fields as empty, even though I submitted that information. The receipt has all of the other information such as...

    Photos for proof of relationship - how did you do it?

    We numbered about 70 photos on Microsoft Word and included descriptions/dates next to each of the photos. It ended up being 20 pages. We printed in color on regular copy paper. We made sure to include plenty of photos with family and friends.

    URGENT! Physician did not provide me a copy of IMM 1017 or eMedical Receipt!

    Update: The office was able to send the eMedical receipt via email. HOORAY! To any future people who may run into this problem, your office should be able to pull up your receipt/summary up to a year after your medical. ;D

    URGENT! Physician did not provide me a copy of IMM 1017 or eMedical Receipt!

    Yes, the doctor is a CIC panel physician. His name is Dr. Brath, he is located in Los Angeles, California. He is one of the three physicians in California. I am so surprised that they did not give me the required proof. I am hoping they will just scan it over via email so I can include it with...
