    PNP File Transfer To CIO Sydney, Nova Scotia - December/ January

    Usually you get AOR before e-cas is updated (how were you able to check e-cas without AOR?). Did you provide your email address with your application? If the receipt is coming by snail mail then it'd make sense. Anyways, you know now that it has been received and is complete so no worry.

    How to get 1 3/8” x 1 3/4” photo in US??

    Do not worry about the "at least" specifications...you don't want to have your application returned. I got my pictures taken a few months back and encountered the same issues. Called around everywhere and could not find a place that'd do it (many places had specifications for Canadian passport...

    "the CAIPS system shows very little detail about background checks as these are completed outside of CIC" this corroborates Anessa's assumptions.

    Could the 01/31/2013 date have anything to do with the fact that you got your medicals done in February 2012? End of January of next year could be cutoff date by which you must have received your visa otherwise new medicals will be needed...not necessarly mean that it'll take that long but...

    QSW but want to move to Toronto

    Hi there. I know settling in Quebec is the "right" thing to do but plenty of people use the QSW process to settle in Canada and not necessarly where they said they would. That said, once you have PR, you have the right to move wherever you'd like. The best thing to do would be indeed to live in...

    hey all. Anyone knows how much time Buffalo office gives for passport submission in PPR email? 60 days? I'm planning a vacation for this summer and I'm trying to avoid running into trouble in case PPR is issued around the same time (thinking positively here ;)). Thx for your input!

    Certificat de sélection du Québec

    Okay...it's clearer now. You didn't mention the federal application in your previous post. The e-cas status shows that it's been worked on. What is your visa office? Give timeline of your submissions for clearer estimation...maybe you can follow along others from same VO to get better idea.
