I know there is the other Sydney thread too, sorry for the repeat but.... I got PPR!!!!! Just came through via email tonight.

I just got PPR!!! Please update the ss Bagel. Thanks!

Just got PPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great way to end a weekend, especially when I spent most of this afternoon updating my resume and searching for jobs. I thought I was being stupid doing it before PR came through, I guess it was just in time.

Thanks for your input! I have added you to the spreadsheet. Good luck. R.

Yes it is recommended that you apply 30 days in advance (and when you get in a situation with error messages you can certainly understand why) but if there is a chance that something else will come up and you won't need to re-apply, or you really need to maximize your time then 60 days just...

Good luck with that. I had a clean record and driving history in New Zealand, and there I paid $40 per month for full comprehensive on a nice car. I came to Canada and while the insurance companies were certainly interested in my driving history it was only to check if I had any accidents they...

Hey Aussiepoutine, There is this thread plus another one for Sydney applicants (one got started years ago and got brought back to life the past few months, just to make it confusing) which are really helpful. There is also a spreadsheet (link in my signature) which can give you an idea of how...

I have submitted an application the day before, and another one on the day of expiration and it never mattered.

Being from a visa-exempt country you don't need to jump through the hoops the agency is implying. Terminate your agreement with the agency and do as the others in this thread have suggested. Whether you get an visitor visa/extension online or at the border is up to you and how you weigh the...

So you have been a couple since Aug 8 2010, but when did you start living together? If you had been dating for more than a year but living together for less than 12 months at the time you applied for PR then technically (according to CIC's definition of common law) you you should be OK.

I am not sure about transfers, but in answer to 1 and 2, you can do both. Once he has a work permit he can then apply for spousal PR and have that processing in the background while he is in Canada working. Good luck

I accidentally overstayed too. The imm consultant that my previous employer used never submitted my restoration papers after my WP was denied mid 2010. At the time it was taking CIC 5 months to process and I waited most of the 90 days grace period they gave me after refusal before submitting. I...

Hey Kiwikiwi, I have added your details to the spreadsheet. Thanks for contributing! Freezing_aussie, You are so close to PR that it is really hard to say whether you should sit tight and risk it, or risk it by bringing your lack or status to the attention of CIC. Seeing as you are so far from...

Congrats!! I have updated the spreadsheet.

Congrats bluemolly and figgy!! I have updated the spreadsheet. Bluemolly, you can find the spreadsheet link in my signature and check out approximate processing times for others this year. I think it gives you a better idea than the CIC website.

I am sure it is only a matter of days!

thats awesome figgy and bagel. Congrats!! Nice to see them finally making progress! I have updated the sydney ss.
