    Tell me about it. But since I have surpassed the newly updated processing times, I was able to get a verbal confirmation from the rep that my application was approved. So it is just a matter of time. I am hoping CSE would expedite the process (if I can call it so). But thanks for your wishes. I...

    They certainly have gone quiet again. Its been 3 months now since my line 4 was updated. Until last week I was seriously thinking that CIC would have sent the PPR and that it either went to my attorney's spam or got lost somewhere. But after my conversation with CIC rep last week, he was able to...

    That's right. And that is what I am told as well. You have to return COPR with a valid marriage certificate. But that should not lead to her visa and PR being cancelled altogether. Unless she fails to update them. I'm glad you were able to check with CIC. In addition, I would also recommend that...

    Not a problem man. I am in the same boat as your sister. So it is equally important for me too.

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    I understand completely. This is only for the betterment. As far as the case mentioned above goes, I think the applicant made a mistake of assuming that it is all fine and failed to inform CIC about the change in marital status. CIC always replies back in weird way and I think he should have...

    1-888-242-2100 doesn't work if you are in US. At least it didn't work for me. Try 1-613-944-4000 and then a series of 1111131 (when asked to press a digit). This should take you to CIC representatives.

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Hmmm. This is interesting. I see slightly different feedbacks but enough to double check with attorney again. It is contrary what I was told earlier as well. I don't understand what could be the reason to reject the application, specially if you already have your points. But thanks for the...

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Hey bro, are you sure about this? As per seniors on this forum itself and my attorney, as long as a person has a valid time period to land and if there is a change of status (in this case marital) one can add their spouse on their application itself even after getting the approval. The PR will...

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    She can definitely add her spouse after marriage (but not before) as long as she is within the duration of landing provided to her. In fact, that is a preferred option as the additional processing time after adding her spouse on to her application is 3-4 months vs more than year if she sponsors...

    Hey guys, Just wanted to share an update. The processing times on CIC website were updated this morning and now reflects the latest processing times. CPCO was showing a processing time of 18 months until yesterday. Today it is 11 months. So for all those, like myself, who have been waiting on...

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Considering you have already received PPR means that you have enough points without having to add your would-be spouse's points. Therefore she won't have to take language test and get her credentials verified. But she will have to go through background check and medicals. Based on what I have...

    Thanks again. I thought you meant this but wanted to be sure. I am FT student as well but also working on FT CPT. Problem is, as you said, you can't be sure if you will be allowed to enter again. Appreciate your help.

    Thanks Vinaj. Can you elaborate a bit more on what you meant by active status? I mean I wouldn't want to risk it either. In addition, I am planning to get married around end of November and that kind of make me even more desperate to have the time extended until at least first week of December...

    Hey guys, Just wondering - all those who have received their passports stamped along with CoPR, how much time have you been getting before you land in Canada? I know maximum it can go to is 1 year from the date you submit your medicals but I am just trying to understand a general trend here. I...

    Congratulations to all who received updates over the weekend. Any news is good news. Seems like CPCO is beginning to come out of their summer hibernation. Hopefully it won't be too long before the rest of us get good news!!
