I called them twice since I've applied, and I was never able to get through when I call in the morning, however, I go through right away if I am calling toward the end of the work day. Today I called them around 1:30 mountain time.

I called CIC today so I thought that I'd share my experience Eligibility: Recommended pass Background Check: she said "they're still working on it" > I don't know what that even means. In the website it shows " We didn't start your background check yet" Visa Office: Ottawa. She said it is a...

From the recent posts it seems to me that Ottawa office is really slow .. My Aor is June 12th and I am still in IP1 | sigh|

Google hangout asks you to select a number, if you do that, you can no longer call CIC since it will be recognized as an out of Canada number. I ran to the same issue, so I created another gmail, and used hangouts, just this time, I didn't set up a number - this way I was able to call. Hope...

Hi, Did you received a request letter asking for biometrics? Also when was your AOR? Best of luck!

I don't! I moved to the US when I was 17 and didn't leave since ..

I am in the same boat as you! and my VO is Ottawa. I don't know why it's taking them this long to start the background check. best luck to you :)

My passport was originally valid until January 6th, 2019 - so it had more than 6 months since my AOR (June 12 2009) but less than 6 months since I've received the request letter (July 14).

Hi all, I need some advise, I have submitted my application for FSW-outland ( from the US) on June 12. I was asked for a renewed passport that I have submitted on July 20. I have passed my medical exam. I called CIC today and I was told that my eligibility requirement is "recommended pass" and...

Hi all, Congrats to those who got their PPR and good luck for everyone who's waiting! I have a quick question, I've submitted my application June 12, I passed my medicals but the background check hasn't been started yet. Today, The Biometric option (see below) showed up ( or was it always...

Hi all, Thanks for starting this thread! I got my aor on June 12th. Today, I have received a request to submit a "new passport biographical page". The letter is as follows: Dear XXX Thank you for your interest in Canada. We have begun processing your application for permanent residence...

Hi there! I have a quick question. Did you send them the green passport? I am from libya too and I am nearing the end of the process and some people said that CA doesn't accept the green passport, and they require that you send them the new blue one. ( I don't have one since I haven't been to...

Well, my H1B took forever when the institution applied for it on my behalf. So, I told my supervisor that I am going to apply to move to Canada as a plan B incase my H1B doesn't get approved, and he was very open minded about it. After I got it, I told him that I am still going to pursue...

Thank you!

LOL, there is a heavy attack on H1B so I want to have another option in case they change it or terminate it .

Hi all, I have applied for express entry and I received ITA. I currently live in the US. I moved to the US as a student (F1 visa) then received H1B. My question is, do I need to include all of my previous I-20s and H1B information when I upload my documents for ITA application? Also, my...

Thank you for reply! I am just worried because we still haven't received the Social security card yet ( it could take up to 6 weeks), then we can apply for the passport ( 6 more weeks) ..

Hi all, I have received and ITA during the last draw and I do have a question. I have a newborn who is only few days old ( included in the application) but she still doesn't have a passport/ID yet and it's going to take some time until the passport is issued ( up to 6 weeks). What could be an...
