Is there anyone on this board who did NOT have to wait for another 3 months when the application was returned and had to be resent ? (e..g due to photograph issues or some basic errors or missed fields, not returned due to complicated personal scenarios)

The thing that annoys me the most in this process is that they actually DO open the envelopes. I sent my parents' applications on July 18 via courier and them mom's application was processed in October but dad's application got returned (missed a date under signature). So, dad's application...

Has anyone been in a situation when an application was returned for whatever reason? How long did it take for you since re-submission? I applied for PR card renewal for my parents in mid-July and a couple of weeks ago (i.e. 3 months after) got an acknowledgment email for my mom's application...

I heard the same thing from some other people (on other forum)...And also heard the opposite view :-) So, they did not question the fact that assets "appeared" in the in the 2nd year but not the 1st? I just managed to get through to CRA, the guy on the phone did not sound knowledgeable in...

So, it looks like new immigrants to not have to file this form with the first tax return (i.e. for the year they became residents). However, how should they answer the Yes/No about having foreign property over $100K on their first tax return ? Would it be appropriate to say Yes (if applicable...

Congratulations! Can you clarify regarding 2.5 hours? Did it take 2.5 hours due to the long wait to get processed (along with customs etc) or did the process itself was long for your parents etc.? Do they ask a lot of questions? Which airport did your parents land in? My parents will be...

Hi all, have not been here for a while (my parents got visas but have not landed yet but planning to do so soon!) Hope other members saw progress in their cases too! Questions to those who landed recently or about to land (parents I mean): Do parents need to metion or declare on any form any...

Hi all, Question about visa issue / landing and passport validity. Is there any requirement as to for how much time till expiry the passport should have for visa issue and /or for landing in Canada? My parents are about to submit passports for visa next week (they are flyign back to home...

Thanks for the good wishes! Sorry to hear abou the delay it your case - that does sucks to wait (and with unclear progress). As I've learned from this forum, ND has a weird process of requesting passports early in the process ...so inconvenient...Not sure if any other office does that. Our LVO...

Apple_talk! My big congratulations to you! And the fact that you have to send passports to Ottawa makes it so much easier! Did your status change to Decision made? Or did it change to that before the emai? We got the PPR request (same text more or less as yours) last Monday but our status...

Thanks! I am not in India by the way (my LVO is Moscow) I hate to delay - not sure what to do (still hoping that they reply to my email)

That is what they say but interestingly the status never changed on those dates for me (I checked daily or every other day around the times when I hoped to see something and all my status changes actually were on weekend, e.g. Friday no change but see a change on Saturday or Sunday) Not sure if...

By the way, my ecas is still showing 'in process' (not sure if I should worry about that, maybe they only update once a week or so - will check again on the weekend as my previous status changes were all on the weekends)

After more than 5 years, we finally received passport request email earlier this week! Such a great news near the full moon :-) We do have one complication (hope it is not going to be an issue): my parents are in Canada currently and flying back home at the end of February. Our LVO said to...

Just curious - did anyone see an ecas status change after this weekend (nothing for us)? Wondering if they are in the 'holiday' mode already and not moving anythign else further until after the holidays

My friend mailed her mom's passport for visa stapming to Seattle at the end of November and they are stil waiting...

It happened to me before! I sent my notes request by email in June (got the auto confirmation right away), then waited till mid August, then emailed them again to inquire about the status of my atip inquiry (forwarded my original email from June). They replied back in 2 days saying that they...

All this is so weird and scary to say the least)! I am hoping that this is some kind of mistake or internal processing that the system just did not handle correctly in terms of status update (i.e. that your case is not actually closed). May be they transferred your case to LVO to issue a...

Once again, this is so unfair with regards to those who got transferred to LVO rather than CPP-O :( I am from a different LVO but my parents home country also prohibits passport mailing to /from the country so i might end up with a similar problem when the time comes ... So far, unfortunately...
