We didn't send in an FBI check with our application since my husband's first one we ordered had an error on it. We had sent off a request for a 2nd one which had the correct information on it and it was due to expire in July. We had it into them before the July date it was to expire and have...

They did receive it before the 90 day expiry date. We have email confirmation from them saying so. We sent an email back to them at LA with copies of the emails with dates showing they did confirm receipt of it before it expired. I doubt they will take that into consideration even though we have...

Well, our file is indeed in LA. Hubby got an email this evening asking for a new FBI check! I'm livid. We sent ours in before it expired so I have no idea why they are requesting a new one. We have 120 days to submit it. We have an email confirmation that they received it well before it expired...

It's sad that we live in a world where giving someone a dose of reality is abusive. I for one, am not comfortable aiding and abetting a law breaker. If this makes me heartless, so be it. I guess the laws are heartless and not put in place for any reason other than to be unfair to the ones who...

She will be able to go to a shelter for free, that is not an issue. Canada does care about people in abusive situations, I am not contesting that. Social programs such as shelters are not funded as they should be and there are limited resources which do go to help anyone regardless of...

It's very hard to empathize with someone who didn't think of the potential consequences and look at the big picture before making a choice. As adults, we are ingrained to think of "what could happen" before making choices. For some reason, that person didn't use logic and now is in a situation...

Dazednlost: I don't know why you are seeking sympathy on here, I don't feel any for you. You are an adult and made an adult decision to come here. You are working illegally, with no regards or respect for our laws but you want us to bail you out? Canada is not responsible for you, you are! I...

There is already a forum of sorts for this found here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t107613.0.html All of our files are in Ottawa at the moment, then they will be transferred to either LA, Detroit, New York, Seattle for issuing of the visas. Most of us got...

You can apply for a restoration of status. It costs a bit more though. I think $150? Do a search on the forums here for visitor's extension. There's a wealth of information from people who have been through all case scenarios for the most part. I wouldn't worry though!

Well, you said they have them, so nothing to worry about. I just can't believe that a final review would take 60-90 days!!! YIKES! Ours went into in process on August 21, so maybe a bunch of our files are just waiting final review in LA. Good to know though!

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Visitor's extensions are given pretty freely.

I believe that all medicals are sent to Ottawa at a facility until they are requested by CIC. I was told this by CIC and the DMP where we got our medical done in Ottawa. I know there are two forms, but they are sent to the same place. I made sure to check the form at the DMP when we got ours...

Hopefully with your current application you'll get a year extension. Most of us did when we applied. We initially sent both the visitor's extension request and our spousal package at the same time. My husband's 6 months was up 4 days before we applied for the extension and everything went...

Nice to hear some news Happylaw. On ECAS does it show "in process" when you check it? I'm just curious.

There is no reason why you would want to go to a border to apply for an extension. For $75 bucks you can apply online or through the mail for an extension...there's lots of us who got 1 year extensions this way.

We included an expired state report. I asked my hubby to stop by and get one before he came to Canada so he could show it at the border if they asked for one. It was 6 months expired when we sent it, but if they looked at the date, they could see it was from a week before he stepped foot in...

If I were waiting over a year for a straight forward application, you would bet your money on the fact that I would be writing the minister's office everyday until I got a response. I would attach a written letter from the applicant stating that the sponsor has permission to make inquiries on...

We're in PROCESSSSSSS! As of August 21! Things are rolling at Ottawa..FINALLY.

I just checked ECAS and we're now "In Process" as of August 21!!!

WOOO! I just checked ECAS and we're now in process as of August 21!
