    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Anyone know how often PPR batches get sent out? ECAS showing DM for both sponsor and applicant as of 3/12. MyCIC is still showing background check in progress, but I heard a lot of times this never updates until you actually get COPR. Thanks

    Spousal sponsorship

    thanks, what is "RO?" - I plan to apply for citizenship after about 4-5 years so I want to make sure I meet the requirements.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Quick question about “PR Status” and commuting between the US and Canada for work; I know you have to stay in Canada for 2 out of a 5 year period to maintain PR status. What if I cross the US border daily for work and come home in the evening to Canada. Since my address and residence is Canada...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Correct, it has to be paid off. You have to have the title, if you haven't paid your car off you don't have the title your bank does - you have a registration.

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    To be honest I couldn't tell you if our ECAS account had my wife's Decision Made before we got our e-mail telling us she was approved and that my PR application was being transferred to the visa office. However, if you applied in December and you just got that, I'd say you're in good shape...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I'm stuck in this dilemma. So I'm expecting my COPR within the next ~2 months...hopefully...if I land, I basically have 30 days before I'm required to update my address I'm guessing and then after that I'm needing to either import or buy a new car in Canada? I still owe money on my car so I'd...

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    I included it in my original packet but with the new forms they require you to upload it to the MYCIC account. It probably won’t hurt to include it (didn’t hurt my application and now I have DM made). Keep in mind when you upload it online, DO NOT use a previous saved validated file of the...

    Proof of relationship

    I say include it, can't hurt. We didn't actually include many chat/text logs, a little bit of FB message logs but that's about it really. We provided proof of my wife as a beneficiary on my retirement/stocks account, we included pictures, a notarized letter from my parents confirming our...

    COPR Question and traveling between US/Can

    Thank you, that's all I needed. Yes, personal vehicle via land - not air. Cheers!

    Proof of relationship

    We included 20 or so with the new forms. 10 from our wedding and about 10 throughout the years of us dating, with friends, etc.

    COPR Question and traveling between US/Can

    I just got DM on ECAS so I'm hoping to get my passport request and COPR within a month or two....but I have a question regarding this...so when I land in Canada and move in with my spouse at the border and use my COPR that's great... but I work across the border in the US and commute daily...

    **DECEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    I'd agree with Dana, I'd call. I applied in January and I already have DM on both Sponsor and PR side inside ECAS. MyCIC still shows background check in progress which seems normal from what I've read.

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Yeah should be no problem. After 30 days when you're required to update your address/etc. it may become an issue. Technically I guess you could always keep your old address in the USA and stuff but if you ever got hit or something it'd be insurance fraud possibly. I had to end up selling my car...

    Car has to be paid off in full and clear title. you'll have to return it to your dealer.

    JANUARY 2017 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    That's the sponso side approval. Mine says the same. After researching more though if we show DM on ECAS we should expect a PPR request within 2 weeks and probably land within a month (maybe a bit more).

    Spousal sponsorship

    To be fair I provided my Police Certificate up front but submitted before Jan 31st, but also with new forms...kinda a gray area. I'd suggest waiting until they say upload it. I didn't have a request to upload the Police Certificate, just the Schedule A. It looks like my application was approved...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I provided both up front but had my schedule A request online as soon as I was able to link. Time frame in my signature. It will be fairly soon I suggest take the steps for your Police certificate now.

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Quick question, since ECAS shows Decision Made will I be receiving a Passport Request since I’m from a visa-exempt country (USA)? It looks like others have but after reading older threads other users haven’t ever had a PPR and had their COPR mailed out. We were going to have my COPR mailed to my...

    As of when? Mine just changed to DM today. How long ago did you get a DM? I think we're some of the first Jan applicants with DM's now..
