Thank you! I will keep a look out for this email.

Hi all, I had started this thread back when I thought my paperwork would be ready to go late 2014. Unfortunately, life happened and we just sent in my application last month. In order to better keep track of the Nairobi 2015 applicants (since we are almost half way through 2015), I was thinking...

Hi all, We mailed our application on May 19th, and it was received on the 21st. Pardon my ignorance, but what is the next step? Should I be checking my status online at this point or wait for an email from CIC first? Thanks!

Hi all, I am finally printing everything and had the following question(s): 1. My husband and I communicated during our engagement period via Skype and WhatsApp messaging. We have over 1,000 pages of WhatsApp conversations which I obviously cannot print. Does anyone have a suggestion of how...

Thanks Chris! I have no idea why I didn't look on the CIC website first ???

Hi all, I am sending off my application either tomorrow or Wednesday - just need to do some last minute printing. Does any one have an idea how long Mississauga is taking to approve the first stage? I know it stood at an average of 3 months for the longest time. I'm wondering if anything has...

The only reason I was a little skeptical was because in the supporting documents, it mentions to send your visa or status on which you are currently in Canada. I just don't want them to think I'm out of status.

Hi all, I have been working on my paperwork for months, and it is finally about ready to be sent off. I have been "staying" with my husband in Canada since we got married in June 2014. My original TRV expired in July but I had filed for an extension which I received till February. We had...

Hi Migo123, Not sure if you are aware, but you can request the Marriage Certificate online and it takes about 2 weeks to get to you. 6-8 weeks is if you apply by mail. In the midst of preparing my paperwork, my husband and I forgot to request the marriage certificate so we just requested it...

Hi all, I am looking to get some feedback on my situation below: 2014 Tax Year 1. I worked as an employee (W-2) from January - March in the U.S 2. I left job #1, and became an independent contractor (job #2) from March - May in the U.S 3. I got married and began residing with my husband in...

This is a subject I am not completely familiar with but I believe implied status is applicable to only inland applicants. I am applying via the outland route. Hopefully, some of the older members on this forum can chime in.

Hi, I was in a similar situation as well. I know everyone has different experiences with the immigration officer, so this is what I went through. I was working in the US (however, I am not a US citizen) so my fiance and I used to visit each other every month without a problem. When asked why I...

I second that. I called whenever I felt the need to and I have gotten both, helpful and unhelpful representatives. If someone seems like they do not want to divulge any information, just call back. The "helpful" ones will typically look up your case file and tell you exactly where you stand with...

I would not worry about that yet because when I called the FBI after they charged my card, they informed me that it didn't mean anything (although I'm sure it sort of meant SOMETHING). Anyway, they received my prints on Dec 3rd and I just received my report yesterday by mail. I hate to be the...

Thanks! I thought you can ONLY be doing an outland application if they send your passport to another VO (Nairobi)? I am filing an outland application.

Hi all, Once my application is ready to send to Mississauga, I am presuming it is currently taking ~3 months for SA. After which, they send the file to the Nairobi VO. Will they let me know once they have sent off my file to Nairobi? I am a little confused because people are mentioning ECAS...

Hi Keesio! I referred to the other thread you mentioned, but I'm still confused mostly because I'm not a US citizen but lived there for a couple of years therefore, filing taxes there. I got married to a Canadian citizen last June and have been working remotely for a US company (that I...

Thanks Awmf2014! I thought I was going crazy!

Hi all, I'm filling out my application and came along a question which says I have to provide travel details of the applicant (myself) AND each of my family members for the past 10 years. I already compiled my list but do I have to do it for EACH of my family members? Along the same lines, it...

No, I do not have kids. So just the usual medical exam required by CIC is enough?
