So, as I posted earlier they requested IMM5409 from us on May 26th, due to be received by them June 26th. One of the big challenges we faced is that we are travelling in Indonesia at the moment. However, we were able to get the form administered and signed by an Australian consul at the...

I just ordered my common law partner's notes through the Online portal. (https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do) It was extremely easy and took about 5 minutes. It even lets you upload scanned documents of the required consent form (for the foreign applicant) and proof of Canadian...

It's been over 6 months since I last checked in since SA (11/17/2014)... I see we are all gnashing our teeth at frustration at he CIC. :-/ I posted this to the US Outland thread but I'll post this here as well since we're members of the September 2014 cohort... Today my common law partner got...

After waiting for over 6 months since SA (11/17/2014), today my common law partner got an email from the Ottawa VO requesting "Stat Dec of Common-Law IMM5409: A signed and completed Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union form (IMM 5409) bearing original signatures This must be received at...

Hi indocanadian13, I tried calling this number several times, but it just says "Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again. 2.E.H." Has anyone else had any luck calling this number?

Oh yes, most certainly, she'll be keeping most of her US stuff. Might as well take advantage of US financial offerings if you can.

Of course. All that makes sense. So my takeaway (and as I suspected) is that my spouse doesn't have to worry about it until she lands in Canada sometime next summer, since she doesn't have any assets outside the US nor any signing authority on funds outside of the US as we don't have a joint...

Thanks, so we'll prepare ourselves for 2-3 months of silence. It was the same for SA -- we prepared ourselves for 1.5 months of silence and only after that elapsed that we started to watch the email inbox like hawks for the SA. :) Right -- I am only asking if that $10,000 value is for assets...

Hey US applicants! I am sponsoring my common-law spouse from the US and recently got SA. :) Does anyone know how long it usually takes from SA until the Ottawa VO updates ECAS to "In Progress"? Of course we are eagerly awaiting next steps. Regarding the FATCA and FBAR stuff -- This only applies...

Wow, congrats! Mississauga is so fast -- Why is it some applications are kept in Mississauga and others sent off?

Does anyone know how long it usually takes the Ottawa VO to update ECAS status to "In Progress", after SA has been issued?

Hey tannygirl. Checkout the September Outland spreadsheet -- http://tinyurl.com/n84r9h2 -- Processing time has been creeping up and it's looking like SA is taking more than 50 days now. So you probably still have at least a week to go of waiting. I know, it sucks. I'm one of the ones who had to...

Lucky you -- mine was sent to Ottawa...

Woohoo, I just got SA a few minutes ago! This after receiving AOR last Friday Nov 14th and me freaking out about receiving an AOR instead of SA. Now today is Monday Nov 17th. Maybe they just ran out of time last Friday afternoon and sent AORs to everybody whose file they were working on before...

Wow I am seeing a lot of light blue on the spreadsheet! Seems like nearly everyone who applied on or after Sept 25 got AORs instead of SAs. What's going on?

I will call first thing Monday morning!

You too? Aw man...

I see, you got two emails... I only got the AOR one so far. Have not yet received the SA one yet, and it's nearly 5pm already... I'll watch out though, thanks for letting me know how it happened for you!

Darn. I wonder why others get SA right away and we get AORs? The only question in my mind where I may be different is: 1) I am a naturalized Canadian citizen, not a native-born one. 2) I am employed via my own corporation. (But I did provide Option C printouts of my Income Tax return so that...
