It is an average. Some take more time, some take less. There is no way to know when your case will be completed. Like I said previously, if after 12 months you have not heard back, you may contact for clarification, or you can order your GCMS notes at any time.

You have a ten year relationship with a year of living together prior to marriage. As long as your application is complete and provides what they are asking for in terms of documentation, I sincerely don't believe you have any cause for concern. CIC isn't looking for an elaborate wedding...

The average time for complete processing of an application is 12 months, as indicated by the CIC. It's only been 8 months since you applied, so you still have some time to wait. If you have not heard anything back by November, then it would be appropriate to contact them. If you have any...

This is the easiest way. 1. If you are still in the US, then you can inquire at your local police department for fingerprint services, or call your local FBI field office to make an appointment for prints. Prices vary based on who provides your prints. If you are in Canada, call your local...

This is incorrect. You need the PR card to return to Canada by air so as long as it does not cause you to miss the expiry for your landing date on the COPR, then take your trip first and then land. If travel is absolutely critical and you have bot yet received your PR card, then I think you...

Yes.

I've applied for BC MSP and already satsify the 3 month waiting period, so that's not much of an issue. I'm just curious if anyone has some experience with current turnaround times in application. (I applied via mail with paper documentation.) I couldn't find any info on current processing on...

I certainly understand the stresses and time pressure. However, I can tell you that CIC isn't going to extend or give a "do again" on your medicals. When you get your COPR, it's going to have the expiry and that date isn't negotiable. You'll have to land prior to that date. However, you...

I've crossed multiple times without a return ticket booked. Just tell them that you haven't determined a specific return date yet, but that you are willing and able to leave Canada if necessary at any time.

You won't find it. 12 months is provided as an estimated average for non-complicated applications. It can take more or less time than that. Right now, with current trends, it seems that most outland applications are being completed in much less time than the estimate given by CIC. You can...

If it says "provide the most recent notice of assessment," then that's what they want.

I would state something along the lines of "Farah1305 has been offered, and has accepted, a position with [Company Name] to begin at a future date to be determined. Her position will be [x] which will include [y] hours of weekly work, compensated at the rate of [salary + any benefits]. The...

Apply for your extension 30 days prior to his 6 months expiring. It'll be separate from your PR/OWP application. In terms of his initial border crossing, just be honest, but don't volunteer info. He is coming to Canada to visit his fiancee, marry, and spend time together. If he is asked, he...

There is a location on the application for spousal sponsorship which asks if the sponsor or PA is pregnant, and if so, what the due date is. If you were not pregnant at the time you submitted the application, then obviously you would have answered "no" on those questions. You said in another...

Honestly, sounds like you have your bases covered. Congrats on your upcoming wedding. :)

1. You must send your passports when requested to complete the application process. Not sending them risks them considering your application abandoned. The passport request has nothing to do with when you will actually move to settle in Canada. The COPR will come with an expiration date, by...

COPR is received after the applicant's file has been approved. I'm a bit confused as to what you're asking. If she receives COPR, then she will be ready to land at a Canadian border and enter as a permanent resident. COPR would in no way prevent a person from entering--it's literally the...

How long have you and your husband been married? I ask because if you have been married two years or more, then it will make your application much, much easier. If you have a child together and two years of marriage, you are not obligated to provide any more proofs of your relationship. If...

There's not a minimum. The stipulation is that you have cohabited for a year. If you're gone 25-30% of every month, it's going to be very difficult to prove consistent cohabitation. It's not just the sharing an address, they want to see a common-law relationship where these two people spend...

Does the child have living parents? If not, she is orphaned.
