Well clearly Ottawa have stepped up a gear given all the DM's over the last couple of days including ours. Our ECAS didn't even change to in process, in fact it still says 'application received!' Maybe they stuck the Rocky soundtrack on in the background as they're working up a sweat in that...

We had the same issue, Canada Post told me that CIC offices that process applications are 'bulk receivers' and they often just throw everything going there into the one delivery even if it's requested signed for so tracking is rarely updated.

Thanks Taffy definitely a weight off the mind, but yeah ottawa on Fire the last couple of days. I hope it's finally round the corner for you given the rough ride you've had.

Cheers Andrew, relief all round!

Looks like they were on a roll today as we got the same email!!!

I think people forget that advice is offered here FOR FREE! Senior members are not paid to do this and not everyone has the time to scroll through literally hundreds of posts a day. New members also need to make an effort to find out the information themselves....the search function on the forum...

By who? CIC.....A lawyer?! I have read just as many posts of people who hired both lawyers and consultants who made monumental mistakes in their application. I don't think there is any merit in hiring a lawyer or consultant unless you have some specific concerns with your application such as a...

Congrats thats great news!! We submitted some more docs yesterday just to be on the safe side so fingers crossed it won't be too long!

Your question is exactly the problem we are having right now with the ottawa office. CIC want to know that the sponsor will be relocating to Canada when you get your PR. You don't really need to go to Canada email contact with recruiters, real estate agents schools is generally good enough, a...

The IEC visa is completely seperate so wouldn't interfere with your PR application. From what I've read of late applications through Sydney have been going very quickly recently...far more quickly than the posted 14 months. I'm sure I've read a couple of people got through between 3-6 months...

Hi Sheldon, Nice to meet you as well, I've just managed to gather together some knowledge on this forum over the last year given our own application which is ongoing at the moment! Sounds like your kids well be well used to it then so I'm sure they won't have any problems at all...don't worry...

Yes from what I have looked into, police, fire, or anything government related you need to be a Canadian citizen to apply for the post. All job postings for government related positions should tell you on the description exactly what criteria is required before you apply.

I hope it helped a little, I do understand how difficult it is being apart from someone you care about, both in the sense of a kid or a partner. However, I would say in my experience it did make us stronger as a couple, and we had some rocky roads to cross but we eventually got there! I've...

Unfortunately, in my opinion you are going to find it incredibly difficult to get a visa for her. The fact is CIC are looking for a huge burden of proof that she will not remain in Canada once her visa expires. You have only very recently started a relationship and have only visited her once...

Well firstly you have already submitted your application so getting a part time job now won't make any difference but more importantly there is no financial requirement to sponsor under family class. From your post you have explained to CIC what your situation is and that will hopefully suffice...

I'm afraid nobody is exempt from providing proof of relationship....so yes you will have to submit some/all of the above. However, my philosophy was quality over quantity so I wouldn't go crazy with the evidence. Unfortunately there is no hard or fast rule, some people have received PR and...

Easy there mom22 this was posted 6 years ago its a very old thread!

Sorry to sound pessimistic but unless you have a skill they cannot find in the Canadian labour market you are going to find it very tough as there are plenty of people in Canada with experience in the fields you mention. You have to ask yourself why would an employer spend money on sponsoring...

You will see it updated in ECAS but they won't reply to tell you its done. It can take a good few weeks so I wouldn't worry just yet.

It might just be me and the way I presented it so I wouldn't worry. The MP's assistant also said she would keep a weekly check on our app so we'll see what happens. I know AshleyAnne is in the same boat so if she got approved and she submitted hers in December then its more likely it was just...
