Yeah, the class thing is confusing. Too long to bother typing out, but the way they word it, the admissibility info is very confusing. Oh well...just crossing my fingers that I'll get PR by the end of the year, or by January of next, and then I can catch the next round of classes. "Ici au...

I have no family in Canada, with the exception of my "Canadian family" (my in-laws, with whom I have a great relationship - brother-in-law in Montreal, and parents-in-law in Kingston). I have a few friends up here. It was definitely a trying time. Some days I didn't feel mentally strong...

I totally feel your pain! I came to Canada with my husband in July. I haven't seen any of my family since, and I don't know when I will (trying to talk my sis into coming up here in the summer...who the hell wants to visit Northern Quebec in the winter?!?). I guess I'm lucky I got in at all...

At least they're consistently inconsistent! ;) Maybe they do? That would be strange! I'm just glad you two got your CSQ, that his UCI not being in the letter didn't mess anything up. We screwed up a lot of stuff up along the way. As we read through all of the instructions, we got...

Hooray! Glad I could help. It was a great relief to me to get my own UCI. Felt like things were more official after that. Still, it's so weird that we're going through the same process, and yet even the FORM letters aren't consistent (your acknowledgement of receipt not having your...

When you got the (long delayed!) letter from CIC with instructions for the MICC Undertaking, didn't that list a UCI number for your husband? That was the first communication we received from CIC, and that's where I got my client ID number. The same number was listed for me on the paperwork for...

It does seem like there's a marked lack of consistency in how these apps are handled, just from what I read here on the forum. It's frustrating. I'm just happy to have my temporary resident paperwork in order now, and that I have a client number with CIC. The silence from CIC was deafening...

Oh wow. That would piss me right off, the dropped ball on the letter. Did they have your email address on file? I'm not sure we've received any hard mail from CIC. I think the letter came by email. Hell, I don't remember. I'm wondering if the involvement of the MICC slows things down or...

Ah, I see. Looks like they stalled out longer at CIC on your app materials. You sent stuff in last May? And didn't get the email from CIC until January? I started in October and got the CIC email in late January. I did at least get my app for extension of temporary residency approved. We...

UGH! I do NOT need to hear that they've been sitting on the file for 9 months after getting the CSQ. :o I really wish there was some help with this from the military. We know several other couples up here dealing with immigration issues because when you station your citizens abroad for...

Merci! J'apprends, lentement mais sûrement. And "Ya'll"?? NOW you're speaking my language! ;D I really have pretty decent english for an "Okie." Some new Quebecois friends who are basically conversational in english say my english is easier to understand than my husband's, haha! Of...

Hi! Haven't caught up on all of the posts in this thread yet, but I'm an American who lives in Saguenay with my Canadian husband. Application was received by CIC October 23, 2012. Received a letter from CIC January 28, 2013, stating they'd received his app to sponsor, and directing us to...

No, we really had no idea what we were doing, and Quebec makes it a bit more confusing, since they're involved provincially with CIC's process, as well. Are police clearance and medicals something I should get done, or should I just respond when they request them? As for OWP, I just started...

I'm an American living in Quebec with my (Canadian) husband. I sent my materials in last October. Is AOR the date CIC notes as having received my application? We received a letter Jan 28, 2013, in which CIC stated they received my application October 23, 2012. I'm waiting for my CSQ now from...

Just an update on my status. I am American, and I applied inland through Vegreville. I am living in Quebec with my Canadian husband (he's military, hence the move up here...we met in Oklahoma, U.S., where I lived and where he was stationed for four years). My application was received October...

Thanks, Sweden! It's slow going, but I'm definitely making progress. I think we'll have a great 4 (or 2, or 8, or however many...can't trust the military until something is in the past, haha) years here...starting as soon as my husband gets home from his course in Ontario. The days can't pass...

I suppose I'm an October applicant. We misread the application process for applying inland from Quebec (I'm American, husband is Canadian military) and sent in only his sponsorship application. We got a call from the Vegreville office to tell us to send her my PR application, and she'd hold...

Caught up on all the discussion. I am currently in French classes provided by the Military Family Resource Center. J'apprends lentement mais sûrement. I have a strong desire to learn the language, for multiple reasons. I live in Chicoutimi now. While there are a lot of people who speak some...

Thank you parker24 and S.Stevens. We started the application inland and I may try to look into whether or not applying from the U.S. is still an option for us. The more I read and learned, the more it looked like a faster process with fewer restrictions. We may have gone too far to back out...

Bonjour! I'm an American who met my husband in my home state of Oklahoma. He was stationed there for four years (he's RCAF). He has now been posted to a CFB in Quebec. I have a few questions. 1. I have a visitor's visa that is good for six months. We've started the immigration paperwork...
