Any ideas on how long London takes to send out the COPR to Canada after sending in the copy of passport?

I applied through the SINP, submitted my application September 2012. I received my Passport request yesterday, October 21st 2013. File went into process on March 16th 2013 and medical request was in April. I went through the London, UK CIC office, total time from Application filed to passport...

Passport Request received today! I've been an avid follower of this thread because it's one of the few that follows CIC London and it's processing times, and although I am a PNP Skilled worker applicant for Saskatchewan it's still been interesting to see how everybody progresses. London seems...

Passport email received this morning!! A question for those applying through the London, UK CIC office from within Canada when you sent your passport in what type of return envelope did you send along with your passport and Biodata form?

My pleasure. As I mentioned this is my knowledge, there are always those out there who know more

Once approval is given by the SINP for the job, the applicant must wait for the nomination before being able to apply for a work permit. The nomination letter is the LMO replacement, and is not available until you have been nominated. Which as mentioned could be upwards of 8 months. Correct...

I have a couple of colleagues who are applying through the hospitality program in the SINP. One has had her application lodged since October 2012, and another has just had her job approved by the SINP after two weeks. I believe the timeline is now upwards of 8 months for applications lodged with...

Haha, not in his jubblies

I miss Nigella like she's a beloved Aunt. I think she is the reason some men turned to baking. And I love Jamie too! though not in the same capacity ::)

I think you summed up the entire thread with this comment. I have just extended my work permit here in Canada for another two years because my first permit ran out (PNP Skilled Immigrant) But it seems to be futile given that it's a temporary fix to what we're all trying to achieve. Keep...

Congratulations!! I love hearing good news from London

Strikes have been happening since may. According to the London CIC twitter feed it's business as usual. Relatively...

Hi, You are from a visa exempt country. But you will need an ESTA. At the border you will sign a visa waiver form, they will staple part of this document in your passport which you MUST surrender when you leave the States. I made this mistake, and 'overstayed' my visa by 30 days. Stoopid. You...

I'm originally from Wales, UK and lived in Australia for 2 years, I was asked to submit a PCC for the UK & Australia

I would suggest the best thng to do would be to wait until you get a file number. Otherwise you may run the risk of your PCC's getting lost, especially if your application is being sent to your VO from the CIO

Paid my RPRF in April to London, no word yet. I think we just have to sit tight for a while until they get their way with this strike

So you should be ok. I sent mine after because of time restraints. They requested them and I sent them earlier this year

By Canadian law, a Common-law relationship is between two people who have been co-habiting for 1 year. But if you're only leaving to activate your visitor visa that shouldn't bear any weight. Only if you left for an extended period

I was in the exact same position as you. Though I was on my first IEC permit. I went through the PNP program and was nominated as a skilled worker and now have my PR application in process with London. The $550 is the initial cost for your PR application, there are various charges along the...

It might be an idea to get a new one, it would be better to get one now rather than them asking for one and having to wait for it. Typically if the PCC was sent with the application they won't ask you for a new one even though it has expired, though if you are present in Canada they may ask you...
