been pretty quiet. I received my ATIP notes last week. They haven't even touched my files last 2 months. Still recommended pass on eligibility status since July.

Thanks your comment it is very reassuring for me. I guess when you don't work like I have for the last 3 years you have too much time to think and your mind wanders everywhere. I need to stop checking the forum and my e-mail every hour lol.

Medical expiring in less than 2 months. Still waiting this is getting depressing. Don't understand why they are purposely making us wait. They approved someone that had no wedding in 2 months from when they received the application in Singapore. So that leads me to believe they can render...

As a Canadian citizen you can leave the country and be with your spouse no problem. The problem arises with being a permanent resident and leaving the country. How long you plan on visiting your wife? If anything visiting your wife after submitting application strengthens your application...

Probably consultants complaining new forms are harder since it's easier for regular folks to fill out. The 2 checklist in the old system was confusing with all these overlaps.

pick pictures of your wedding with guests and family,engagement, honeymoon, couple pictures doing activities/eating with extended families, and if you have childrens include a picture of them with you too. Try to space out your pictures (time wise) picking from when you first met to the latest...

Hope everything goes well for you Jupiter. I'm March applicant with interview waived and still waiting.

Mississauga checks if you received social services. This is what I got in my GCMS notes: "Fax rec'd from social services confirming no record found." I would inquire more into what this social services is that Mississauga thinks you are receiving or order your GCMS notes like someone...

I provided about 20-30 pictures with labels on each picture describing it. But 10 pages of communications might seem too little. I must have gone at least 50 pages. Truncated skype to show date and length of calls was at least 20 pages. Than there was my phone bills for each month another 20...

My wife did her medical in February and we submitted application in March. It stills say medical review in progress. We've ordered 2 GCMS notes and it doesn't say why or maybe I'm not interpreting the medical section properly.

So what you are saying is after the application has been submitted we should wait until we are approved before having a child? We should put our whole life on hold for who knows how long could be years as some have been waiting just because it's an inconvenience. And that's why they need to...

You are correct. Before a decision made they will request a medical. But than you are pregnant so it will delay your application further. That's why they should allow medical at our convenience as long it valid for 1 year.

American outside is actually 13 months before Dec. 7 on the CIC processing page though people have been getting approved faster than that. Everything after Dec. 7 is 12 month according to the CIC processing time page. Before Dec. 7 it depends on which country you are applying from. Some have...

If you submitted before Dec. 7 you get old processing time. If you submitted after Dec. 7 it's 12 month. http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/information/times/index.asp The good news is they are working to render decision on all applications before Dec. 7 on a first in first out basis.

this medical certificate I can see present some problems for those who's spouses are pregnant. My wife's medical certificate expires in February and she's due to give birth in April. Hope they would be able to extend it if they approve my wife's application around then. Wouldn't want to travel...

The processing time is 12 months if you applied after Dec. 7, 2016 for Vietnam and 16 months if you applied before Dec. 7, 2016. I tried Taiwan which has a processing time before Dec. 7 of 10 months. After Dec. 7m 2016 it's 12 months. Interestingly United States has a processing time of 13...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/englisH/information/times/index.asp They have the new option if you submitted it before Dec 7, 2016 and after Dec. 7, 2016. Looks like I interpreted it wrong. For Vietnam it is still 16 months wait. I've been waiting 9 months so I still got 7 months to go. But it says on...

that's awesome news. Congrats!

I agree the police certificate is a pain to obtain. I got mines in 50 days because it was near the Lunar New Year which is a 10 day holiday in Vietnam.

I don't remember where I got the 80,000 backlogged so I hope it's not true. But I also read somewhere the quota this year was 60,000 and last year was 48,000 and they mentioned 80,000 backlogged applictions. Here's the article I was referring to how they processed the backlogs. It also mentions...
