:) ok cool.

Haha I'm sure it won't take another 6 months! Have you spoken with anyone who's requested med extensions recently? I'd like to hope they're more organized now and don't take 8 weeks like ours did

Pics of your spouse (the applicant) with your family/close friends is always an awesome thing to have! We sent in every single pic showing him interacting with family. Anytime he/she stays over at your family's home, mention it! For example, we included pics from my husband and I at my best...

Haha you're not the only one, but unfortunately it will draw scrutiny as their inclination will be to say that he married you to get back into Canada. Sad but true. It doesn't necessarily have to mean an interview though, again, it's all how you present it. The reason for calling for interview...

haha thanks millslu. You came on after you sent everything, too late lol. Nah, I know you waiting on your ARC and stuff, so at this point, it's just to wait it out a bit longer. Start with the CSE's if it goes past the time they told you to expect something, but that's about all you can do...

Hey Brit, welcome again to our little forum family here! Glad you found us before sending off your package, so many often don't learn about this resource til after they've sent it off! I kinda scanned quickly through your info, so forgive me if I misread anything. You're totally right to feel...

Don't feed the troll guys, just let it be. It obviously doesn't get enough attention in real life. To the OP, best of luck with your application! :D Kudos to your husband for having the guts to go out and start his own business. Sorry it didn't work out, but I applaud anyone who has the...

When they did ours, it was together with the PPR. So they sent the request to Ottawa and put our PPR in the mail the same day.

Check the Singapore thread to see what others have done. It is different for every VO.

This is a very good sign indeed! The rules around medical extensions are quite specific in that it can only be requested when it is the ONLY thing preventing the issuance of your visa. Ours took 8 weeks, but we were among the first to be part of this new extension deal, so maybe they were still...

;D ;D I know it's just an unfortunate typo, but man that is hilarious! Lol best start to a Monday morning ever!! Oh gosh, I needed that!

Hahaha. You actually have the UCI memorized? Damn...

It's not quite so cut and dry. The 19 months is the time it took to finalize 80% of applications over the year preceding the update, so for the current one, Apr 2012 - Mar 2013. Basically they look at all applications finalized during that period and say how long did it take to complete each...

It's unusual to go this long without any news from POS. I mean, we all have to wait individually, but at least there was always someone hearing something, just some sign of life. I can totally get why everyone is so frustrated! Immigration is like pregnancy - it's not knowing that drives you...

Security checks are started pretty early on in the process, so should be continuing/completed while you wait on the senior officer's review.

Lmao! OK...after the night of unbridled passion, wake up the next morning, make your wife breakfast in bed, and then while she's eating, go onto e-cas and make the address update ;D

CIC doesn't really care where you land, as long as it's in Canada. I tend to avoid making any changes, as that just gives them an excuse to take longer with your file. When he lands, the officer will ask him to confirm the address his PR card is to be delivered to, so at that point, he could...

lmao

Haha, you never know, you just might have to do that! If it's a courier package, they come in at Canefield

Hahaha maybe...just maybe ;D Our experience culminated with my husband literally chasing down the DHL plane at the airport and physically removing his approval package, so there's a whole lot of crazy to go around :D
