    **NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    Thanks again :) It was explained upfront, so hopefully it'll pass soon. This whole process is incredibly stressful.

    **NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    Ah, thanks again for the clarification. I see it, but the Application Assignment Due date is blank unfortunately. In reviewing the notes further, I see that the officer flagged "An Examination and then Departed Canada. PA answered yes to Question 6 on the Sch A" Most likely flagging that my...

    **NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    Thanks for sharing your experience prvc, and glad you got your PPR :) The due date for "Eligibility Assessment" is sadly a year from when the application started processing - ie. Jan 16/2018. It also got updated to status "Review Required", which according to another thread, is a bad thing...

    **NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    Hey guys, did anyone in Nov get GCMS notes? Just looking at mine and a bit concerned that the eligibility hasn't been passed, yet BGC has started. Just wondering what others have seen in their notes, if anything.

    I agree, it sucks that you haven't received any notification of SA, but if you're in ECAS/MyCIC, it's unlikely the application has been lost. As much as I despise the entire immigration process, I realize that after they improved their processes in December, the immigration ETAs for Canada is...

    Remember to keep the Dec spreadsheet updated! (in my siggy)

    Outland Vs. Inland 2017. Which is better?

    Yes, the lawyers we had talked to insisted on going the inland route too, but after researching off this forum, we opted to go with Outland because of all the previous comments already made, and opted to do it ourselves. Don't regret it one bit. I suspect lawyers will suggest inland option...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Fair point about it being difficult to setup some of these things prior to living together. I do think that the new checklist validates what our lawyer said and so emphasizes those aspects of the relationship to provide as proof in the new application kit. Yes, you could forge the documents...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I wouldn't be too concerned. It's a well known fact that US-CA couples aren't scrutinized nearly as much since the American doesn't have as much to gain. With that said, it sounds like you and I have a similar situation. I had a long distance relationship with my then girlfriend for about 6...

    Looks like there was a batch of DMs in November over the weekend... hope we see some more movement on Dec peeps soon!

    Now that We've submitted.

    This is incorrect... if you live in BC, you are eligible to apply for MSP after your PR application reaches a certain stage. Take a look at this thread I just updated...

    Warning!!! Do NOT use Canada Post to mail your immigration documents!

    Sorry to hear that happened to you, that really sucks. I, too, used Canada Post, and my situation while not as extreme, was also delayed by a day (used most expensive Express option). I chalked it up to holiday mail, but frankly, if I were to go back, I'd probably have used a private courier...

    Fighting for MSP Provincial Coverage for PR applicants in process

    Allo, final update on our situation with this in case anyone is hunting for an answer - it was very straightforward (surprisingly so). Once our Outland application received SA approval and went into status "In Progress" for the PA side, we immediately submitted all the requested paperwork to...

    Sorry to hear, I know I was frantic and panicky before we received SA. Hoping the gov't gets back to you soon, 2 months is an outrageous time for SA... on the other hand, I've read cases where things move rapidly after falling behind in certain processes, so hopefully it was just a forgetful...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Yeah, I was surprised too, pleasantly, though I know it can range anywhere from 1 week to months from here. Hoping you get your BGC soon too!

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Oooh, I believe you're in for some excellent news very soon... I think they do that just before DM. Hoping our application is in the same boat - BG check just went In Progress today :)

    **DECEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    Hoorah! Our application just changed to status "In Progress" this morning too for the Background check. Hope it won't be too long from now!
