Uh oh. Just got an email from the CIC saying that they need an FBI clearance certificate for my 19 years old kid. They say I have to have it back to them by 01 JUN 2014. I went to the FBI website and it says that the processing time is currently 22 calendar days. We better get moving on this.

Winnipeg is half way! They have beer there, right? :P

Toronto. I usually like to hang out on Yonge between Finch and Sheppard. You?

You and me both, brother!

Wow, the doc in the US wants $350 for the appointment, plus $70 for the xray, plus a $50 non-refundable deposit payable only by credit card just to make the appointment. They also say that it will take up to 7 days to get back the blood work and they must have it before uploading the results...

I think so. I couldn't get on to this forum for about 20 minutes. Said it couldn't connect to the server.

<-- Hits refresh for the 1000th time today. Nope, still says 'application received'. Thanks for the info though.

Toby, you and I have the same 'application received' date (Sept. 12th). Should I expect an update in my ecas right away too, or won't that happen till after they get my MR results (my doctor's appointment is on Wednesday)?

It takes about 2 hours to cross the border by car from where I am, so I guess it'll be a day trip. Probably do some shopping in Buffalo as long as I'm there. Do you know how long the processing at the border takes? Do I need to call in advance?

Just so you know, you can correct errors in your posts just by clicking the "Modify" button on the top right side of your post.

Ah, got it. So that's why people are always saying that they landed at the Rainbow Bridge (or wherever). Thanks.

My understanding is that after we get the coPR we do not have to do anything else and that the PR card will be mailed to us in 4 to 6 weeks. Is that correct?

OK, here's my timeline: Application sent (1st time): 09 Sept 13 Application received by CIO (1st time): 12 Sept 13 Application was returned to me twice for small issues, but I still got to keep the 1st time they received it as my "application received" date AOR received: 05 Nov 2013 MR...

Thank you, and today's my birthday too! I'm out celebrating but I'll update my time line with you guys tomorrow. Good night all!

Just got the MR for all the members of my family, including my son who is away at University! Woo hoo!!! Good luck to everyone else who's waiting! :) :) :)

Question posted in the area you suggested. Thanks. +1 as soon as I'm able :)

I'm immigrating with my 3 kids, but I have no spouse. While 2 of my kids live with me here in Canada, my oldest has now gone back to the US to go to college. My application was returned months ago because I was told not to include the payment for my child in the US until he returns to live in...

OK, thanks. I'll post the question in another area.

He's still in his 1st year of a 4 year program. I don't imagine they'll have him do his medical now since they time out after a year. That'll save me almost $300 USD if I don't have to do his medical now. I'm trying to understand how they will let him be a PR if he's outside of Canada, hasn't...
