    Sponsorship approval came from Mississauga, As much as I would have like for Ottawa to already approve me, that's where our case has been sent to. :)

    We filed outland, so they sent our file to Case Processing Pilot in Ottawa. I think that all US PR Applicants are going through Ottawa now.

    Engaged, getting married...can I cross border?

    I'm American married in Canada in December and returned to the States after the wedding. I had my wedding dress in my arms going through customs. I told them I was getting married and would be retuning to the States after the wedding. I did return to Canada in March for a six month visit, which...

    Finally received sponsorship approval in the mail today, dated July 23. Our case has been sent to Ottowa. I wonder how quickly they'll be processing now that they're in Ottowa. Time for the rest of you to join me. -Pigey

    That's the frustrating part for me, sitting at home unable to work. I keep hoping the new barcoding will speed up the second part of the process. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    I just saw something in the April Applicant thread, someone called the CIC and was told that their AOR email was supposed to be sent, but somehow got cancelled. They were able to confirm sponsorship approval over the phone. Maybe telephone calls are in order?

    Civil Marriage

    I married my husband while I was in Canada visitng from the US (visa exempt). I went through customs in Calgary with my wedding dress in hand (and the receipt), told them I was getting married and would then be returning to the US after the wedding. I had no problems.

    Chances of Border Crossing on US outland application.

    I came to Canada with my hubby in March and we entered in Calgary, and we had not yet filed our application. First question, why haven't you applied for residency. We were honest and told them we were waiting on the background check (I had it sent to my hubby's house in Alberta) and that there...

    Hooray! We received our AOR last night... Since the Buffalo office is closed, I guess they will transfer our file to Ottowa. The bar-coding must really be speeding up the process for them.
