Congrats to everyone who received good news!! I have a question, maybe it's a silly one, but here it goes: I'm checking my ecas every few days and on Wednesday, it suddenly seemed to look different on the top. On the left side it states the "current home address" and on the right side it...

I'm German, so I'm used to the winter and snow. My image of Canada was that there was ALWAYS snow on the ground, all year long :D so I was actually surprised how HOT it gets in the summer. I don't mind snow around Christmas, but that's about it. I just don't like how late and short spring is...

Hi bilbol, Don't worry about ecas! There are several cases where the visa was issued without ecas changing to "decision made". So congrats - you are done!

Congrats Nole!!! :D

Today 6 months ago we sent out our application lol

Congrats! You're lucky, only 2.5 months from app filed to AOR? Ours took 3+ months for sponsorship approval and 4 from filing to AOR from Vienna.

I reported it too :D

When I paid the fees online, I used my German credit card, so that shouldn't be the issue. Sorry, can't help you further but wanted to let you know. Good luck!

Exactly the same for me, applied for an extension in the beginning of September and still waiting.. I've been under implied status since October 03. When I applied for a visitor visa in April 2012 (change from worker to visitor), it took them 1 week to approve it and another week to send it to...

Since processing applications for visitor visa take 71 days (when you're applying online) or 97 days (for paper applications), respectively, right now, your hubby will be under implied status after December 6 until they're done processing. So in case they're only giving him the 6 months, this...

It an open work permit, so she can pretty much do any job, so she can pick the place and if she doesn't like it, she can look for another place. It's meant to work and travel around the country, but she can also just stay at the same place for the year. I came to Canada on April 10, 2011, had a...

I also got upset when I read that it now only takes 35 days... exactly 2 months less than ours, but oh well, nothing we can do about it. What also makes me mad is that the times for processing Temporary Residence Visa keeps on going up every week.. I applied for a visitor visa extension on...

Hi ginsengsamurai, I'm also German and my Canadian husband is sponsoring me! I have another idea for you: Could your girlfriend apply for a Working Holiday Visa? That would give her an open work permit for one year, and in that time you can still get married and send your application. The...

Just one thing I'd like to add: If an interview is required, the applicant would have to go back to their home country for it/to the place where the VO is located.

I did get my Ontario DL but I'm not a PR yet. I'm just a visitor. Germany has an agreement with Canada, so I could exchange my German DL to an Ontario DL without any tests, I just had to pay the fee. I'm applying outland.

Hi seamyb, as far as I know, London doesn't send out AORs, so no need to worry! What does your ecas say?

Got an email from Vienna this morning requesting additional information (my activities between June and October 2006) and I already sent them a reply (they only gave me 10 days to reply, so I hope an email will do). I also checked my ecas and it changed to IN PROCESS!!! :D @bonitanita, could...

Bonitanita, that's exactly what I'm saying!! One one hand, they want us to be financially supported (at least for the visitor visa and extensions) but they make it so difficult by not allowing us to work. :( I'm sick and tired of sitting at home all the time while my husband is working his ***...

I got AOR from Vienna this morning!!!!! :) Didn't expect it for another 2 weeks (so far it mostly took them just under 50 days from sponsor approval to AOR for other people), so I'm extra happy right now :) But Vienna seems to be on fire this week! The e-mail says processing might take up to...

If they didn't write a date under the stamp, it is good for 6 months.
