Yes - we have got him a passport. He has had two for quite a while now. :) Lucky dab. And in a fraction of the time, too!!! :( However, the above subtlety is probably very useful to others! I'm not sure that they'll stamp a citizenship certificate for you as you land in Toronto!!

Oo! Thanks! I'll read these later!

Fab - I've done that...! Phew!

Hi, I just wanted to sanity check this (tho I had checked during application process) and wanted to see if there was anyone in the same boat as us to check how it went for them: We intend to move to Canada from the UK (Wales). My wife is Canadian (born and Citizen - no other citizenships)...

I'm sure there are people with a specific correct answer to this, but I'd say YES. If there are any holes or omissions (even if they make sense) it can delay things. Providing both (and, again I bow to more experienced people on this forum) and a little note stating that you may have used...

Ordered GCMS notes via Canadian ATIP site direct (CA$5 - bargain) - My wife (the Candian) had to do the form and I (the PA, British) fill in a 'please release my notes to ....' form so that she could receive the file. Well, as described. However, really low on any notes - so I assume that's a...

A very annoying 'bug' in the system. I did get written (email) confirmation that they are indeed on the system - but how worrying is that? Not just no status, but actually telling you to do something when there's nothing you can do! :( I have requested ATIP notes (GCMS/ATIP - basically a copy...

Congratulations! I was 13 August 2018... still nothing (12 June) - I am at (I believe) the London UK office (awaiting ATIP to confirm what's going on!) - amazing how different the processing times are between offices! Fingers crossed........

Wow. Puts the ultra-efficient kings of bureaucracy in London to shame!

CONGRATULATIONS! That must be a relief!

Certainly fair enough! :O Good luck with the interview.

No change from my last post on here. I ordered GCMS ATIP notes (via my wife, the Canadian) last week. Hope to see something useful, insightful or just encouraging soon. Our notes are with the London UK office. It says 'background checks' and 'checking eligibility' so hopefully that is what's...

It's still "We have not received your fingerprints. Check your biometrics request message below for details." - emailed LDNIMMIGRATION and the response said they had received and everything was in order. But I still worry. Did mine back in December 2018 and it's now April 2019 and still no...

:(

New Delhi seems to have faster processing than London UK then! :( What have the experiences of those going via London UK been? Do they deliver early/on the 12 months (or longer...!) Canadian wife, UK resident applying from UK.

For the Stat-masters, here is my history so far... I'll stick it on my signature too: Application received 13 August 2018 AOR1- 3 Dec Med request - 10 Dec Med appointment - 2 Jan Med done/submitted - 21 Jan (delay with local doctors office due to Christmas period!) Med passed - 27 Jan...

I got my biometrics done within 4 days (I received the request a few days before I just happened to be going to London on business, so killed two birds with one stone!) However - it showed up as 'we have not received your biometrics' despite the biometrics box appearing in my GCKey portal with...

I will give that a go. I've got some time today so can sit listening to hold music if I have to!

You're a star, Netraam. Checked - there it is! It arrived Christmas Eve - I remember us reading it and happy for the Christmas present - but I didn't file it with all the other paperwork. Thanks for that! Were you having problems logging on the other day? I did too - took my back to cic...

Also - people on here are saying they telephoned the office - how do I do that? Considering I'm outside Canada, London UK office... is there anything I can do to check or nudge? I'm not impatient. Honest. But with Brexit looming, I do wonder how it will affect exchange rates and such when...
