How long does eCAS usually say "In Process?" I got a request for my CSQ and a 30-day window to supply it or notify them it's coming, and I thought that was a little fast considering Ottawa has only had my file for a few days and I didn't think it would change from "Application Received" for a...

I added some emphasis. This is a form letter. They will specifically ask for them later if there's a problem. If you sent them in initially, I would not worry about it. I sent mine in initially too, and have since gotten additional docs request (CSQ) but nothing mentioning the police certs or...

CSQ Requested on Friday :) danslh, how long did it take for MIDI to hit your credit card for the CSQ, and how long after that did you receive it? I'm trying to decide when I should contact CIC to let them know that the CSQ is coming, because I'm fairly certain it won't show up to them in the...

Stuff like anxious2015 mentioned… scrapbook-type stuff, a big collection of sentimental things… stuff you can't replace in Canada, or things you can use to "re-establish yourself." This was my officer's reasoning the one time I was refused entry. If you have established a pattern of...

2 checked bags is not unreasonable for a 5.5 month trip. Paperwork will be the most helpful, and they will probably want to inspect your bags. They may raise slight suspicions, but in all honesty, the fact that you have an outstanding application will probably work to your advantage. Many...

True. It only updated today, but it says they sent me a letter on May 12, 2015 to inform me of the decision.

3/18/2015, one day after 2worlds1love.

Did you check eCAS? Mine updated to Decision Made today :)

They only request that you inform them of birth or other actual changes in your family/living situation. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to inform them of a pregnancy but I don't think it will make a difference in your application. Also, congrats!

As far as I know it's not a documented, hard limit. It's going to make things fishy looking for your officer, however, so it would be a good idea to retain lots of documentation that proves you still LIVE in Canada. Document everything; that you went to see your spouse, that you stayed with...

Hey! I'm American, and I'm going on 17 days for my SA, after 36 days for AOR.

Lucky for us, that only takes 2 weeks or so.

I honestly would report him to CIC, this policy (I can't post links?) has been in place since 2012 and also includes text about "being referred to a female physician" if you are experiencing anxiety about the exam. Further, there are no provisions for exclusion based on undue strain on the...

I think you mean AOR was received April 23rd, 2015. :P My package was received March 18th, and I just bugged my wife to check her email and she got AOR as well! Can't track it on eCAS just yet, though…

Also worth noting, it does not matter which items in the list you pick when you pay online, as long as the total is $550 or $1040 (depending on whether or not you elect to pay the RPRF right now) I was REALLY confused about this so I called and spoke to a CIC call-centre agent and she cleared...

The only control Quebec asks for in their immigration processes are that they get to select who can settle in Quebec. There are no conditions around how long you stay. They do this so they can have some control over their French culture and all that stuff. The only 2 year requirement around...

Yes! I was confused by this as well, when I wrapped up my papers for my outland PR app. I called and confirmed with CIC… As long as the receipt you send them is for $550 (or $1040 if you want to pay it all at once, supposedly it saves some time) then it works. Also, yeah, sucks we have to pay...

Submitted my application last week, confirmed delivery via Canada Post this week. Put my info in the spreadsheet. :)
