:) feeling your pain Iloverawia........that is why this forum is so helpful. It saved my sanity while waiting for my husband. Congrats on the SA and take a deep breath because none of us can make it go any faster. Paying the RPRF up front, or as soon as possible after submitting your...

:o arrgghhh!! Immigration can be so frustrating but this has happened to many folks BB, so do not despair. Why they do not change that form or make it more clear to people is beyond me. I think this is the form that has 2 pages and you would not believe how many people have made that error...

Hi Roxie, do not worry too much, they "should" be able to match it by your name and your spouses name seeing as they already have a copy of it in the application. That being said I would still do both of the things you mentioned above for additional back-up documentation and your own paper...

Welcome to the forum torontoblues and congrats on being pregnant :D, which by the way will not have any impact on your application. I wish parents and parents to be would get processed faster but immigration does not work like that >:(. Being informed of when your application reaches Kingston...

Yes the power of discretion can be a double edged sword for sure and is def. abused by some CIC folks. Ideally they would take into account all of the factors in an application (case by case) when judging time apart but as you said it can all come down to the visa officer and does not always...

Hi Hilda11, I am sending you sympathy as this last part feels so nerve wracking :( because by this time we are all so paranoid about immigration it seems like it is too good to be true until we have the actual passport with visas in our hands, right? Kind of like what prisoners or kidnapped...

As far as I know the call centre folks are not authorized to do anything (you can ask) and they may still not be open on Monday due to Easter weekend - you may want to confirm that. You may also want to try and phone one of the DMPs in Canada as they may have some experience with this, there...

How does CIC actually identify cohabiting? Do they use a specific time frame or is it case by case? How long were the couple in your example apart for and were there any other concerns on their app? Not suggesting your points do not have some merit - the no appeals for inland apps is pretty...

If you have not left for the US yet, call your closest Canadian DMP and explain to them the urgency and I am sure they will get you in ASAP. Also what state are you going to? It is unusual for the DMPs to be so far away.......also call CIC via an operator and I think you may be able to get...

My 2 cents worth which is personal opinion only (bolstered by the fact that I have seen and worked for many government offices). You are both still "residing" in Canada; your sponsor is on a temporary school/education trip; nowhere does CIC define any of this specifically in their operation...

Congrats Lizzy123!!! Soon it will be welcome to Canada! Come back with your landing story and many blessings. :D

Hello Hilda11, sorry for the delayed response, I am not on the forum regularly now since my hubby landed but yes this is a good sign if your hubby has not already heard by now. I am not sure if he dropped off his PP in person or couriered it but either way this means they have finished his file...

Hi impatientgirl, I have not had personal experience with fingerprints so I am sorry I cannot help on this. I thought some of the members on the Kingston thread did have this experience so maybe if you post your question there someone will chime in. Or try doing a Google search and if there...

Congratulations!!! So happy another person is at the end of their journey :D. We'll look forward to your landing story. Many blessings and safe travels.

This is great news!! :D Did you get an e-mail from them? I think they have had your PP since Nov. right? That's slow and must be annoying :(. Have you already paid the RPRF? Sometimes ecas will update with decision made before they return your passport as well. Get ready for Canada...

You are most welcome and again if it was me I would apply asap and do a good job on that application. Blessings..

Hello again Zakmalik and please see the thread below, hopefully it will be encouraging :) http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/can-a-person-without-status-in-canada-submit-an-outland-application-t215461.75.html Read the whole thing starting from page 1 and go to the...

Hello Zakmalik, I will try to answer your question but my info. may not be up to date so please keep that in mind. You could sponsor your husband outland while he is living here but as far as I know he does have to be "in status". That is the part you may need some more advice on. He could...

:D It's nice that you now have some news to be optimistic about!! Especially when it comes to immigration. Blessings.

I agree with MelJam's opinion that it sounds like the end is near and they are ready to approve :). You and hubby need to pay the RPRF as soon as possible. Immigration will not issue visas or proceed with anything else until that is paid and if you wait for them to ask it may cause a delay...
