We decided not to wait simply because we wanted to get in the queue as early as possible. We submitted a note saying that the clearances would follow shortly. I waited for the SA and then submitted the FBI clearances. Later I sent an email requesting confirmation and received same.

Yes everything can be finalized in Ottawa unless you have red flags or they require an interview, but for most US applicants Ottawa will do all the processing. Whatever mailing address you indicate in your application , is where they will forward surface mail. ( I would recommend a Canadian...

You definately do not need to waste your money on lawyers or consultants. Everything you need to know is in the package online and if you have any questions the Forum surely has answers from many with experience. so just ask.

I would have to agree with the other folks that outland is much faster and more practical for US applicants for Permanent Residence.

Thanks Norena and best of luck to you . Here's hoping you get speedy processing. :)

Thanks Buffy . Feels good to change from the blue and now looking forward to the yellow :) :) Happy Landing.

Hello All Just got PPR today!!! Yipee !!! we are soo excited. !! Now Nicann and Buffy can update me on the spreadsheets. Thanks.

Congrads Buffy you finally got it !!!! Soon Nicann will be painting your line yellow on the spreadsheet!! Happy landing soon.

Welcome aboard. My timeline is very close to yours, however the ECAS has not changed since April 3. ECAS is notoriously unreliable. I think we are both getting close to PPR or some kind of response from Ottawa.... Just anxiously waiting. Good luck.

Congratulations on your successfull conclusion of the processing. I am a little jealous as my application was filed about 2 weeks earlier than yours and I am still waiting for my PPR, so it seems like CPP-Ottawa are behind London VO in that regard. Best wishes for a happy and successful life...

Unless CIC asked for the endorsement page, don't bother. Don't worry, if it was needed they would have requested it. Seems like you're in the final stage now of waiting for COPR. Congrats

If I were you I would go the outland route for the reasons the previous poster indicated. You should have sponsorship approval before you even arrive in Canada. Given that your wife is from a visa exempt country, she can accompany you as a visitor. If her PR is not completed by the time her 180...

Congrads to Kissio, Nexus, NicAnn, Buffy and all those who have seen progress to the finish line recently. I'm hoping this week (or soon at least) to get PPR as it appears I'm next on the spreadsheet after Chiqsherbet, if that means anything. Will keep you posted. Cheers!

Congratulations !!!!! That's awesome. Best wishes for a quick conclusion. Hope I am not too far behind you in getting my PPR.also

It's what we did when applying. I had expired clearances which I submitted with a note saying "updates to follow" 2 months later I forwarded the updates by email and regular post.

We applied Outland while staying in Canada during processing which is still on going. We applied for visitor visa extentions to maintain legal status in Canada beyond the 6 months. This has allowed us to live together during processing.

Just apply online for a visitor visa extention stating that you are awaiting PR approval. Most likely it will be granted. You can apply while still in Canada.

Yes we have done exactly as you're planning, and was granted 6 months extention, which met the Common Law eligibility requirement. Then we requested an additional 12 months which was granted, and applied OUTLAND. Sponsorship approval was granted shortly thereafter, and we are awaiting...

Hello Kwaiden We have a similar situation as you. After much consideration we decided on Outland, my spouse remained in Canada as a visitor. We applied for visitor visa extentions twice already and was granted same each time. Now we're able to stay together in Canada while the application...

The reasons that you wrote here for the secret marriage are legitimate and acceptable for PR approval. That's all you need to write in your application. And you don't need a lawyer so don't waste your money. What you do need is reasonable proof that your relationship is genuine and continuous...
