Just wanted to echo the congratulations on jg84's baby, Loops landing (hooray!!), and Simon88's landing date! Also probably lots of other things that I missed in the meantime! Happy waiting to everyone else :p kanadskazena

Herzlichen Glueckwunsch, Serenity! I'm so happy for you.

Thanks, jg! Looks like they've been getting slower, not faster, recently, which is a shame. I do hope that Serenity482 hears something soon. The spreadsheet is definitely helping with making the waiting go faster.

Welcome to the forum, caitastrophe! Hope you get some good news soon. jg84, do you think that you could add a column for AOR to AIP? I think it could be useful. Thanks for the good wishes, Tomorisu! kanadskazena

Hi! I just checked our letter from the CIC and it says that my husband's CSQ has to be received by May 7. I called to confirm that they'd received it, and they have, so we'll see if anything magic happens this Tuesday! Can't say as I'm holding my breath, though, based on the other timelines...

That's great news, Kidvicious!!! Let's hope your good news is the start of lots of good news for the rest of us ;) kanadskazena

Hi again, At http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/background-checks/submitting-an-identification-record-request-to-the-fbi, it states at the bottom that " processing times may take approximately five to six weeks depending on the volume of requests received." Still, it was slower than the UK (a...

Hi wortip, Welcome to this forum! My husband lived in the US for almost five years and so had to request a certificate from the FBI. It took slightly less than six weeks to get. On Sept. 23, 2012, I called the FBI because we had had trouble with a credit card. They told me that it took four...

That's great news, sbea! Kidvicious, on other threads Chickadee was talking about returning to the US, but I haven't seen a statement anywhere public saying the decision was certain. I'm guessing jg84 knows something. Also to Kidvicious, I hope that your AIP comes soon. It looks like it...

Wow, I didn't realize that it was such a short time between AOR and CSQ, compared with earlier applications! I can't figure out why--it was suggested a bit higher up the forum that Vegreville was trying to get rid of inland applications and I think I've also seen a suggestion they're asking for...

Oh, and thank you very much, jg84, for the beautiful and useful spreadsheet and the link to it in your signature. kanadskazena

Got my husband's CSQ today, 30 days after taking it in person to the office in Montreal and 20 days after the credit card was charged. (It is dated two days ago and the postmark is yesterday.) The cover letter isn't very clear about whether you need to send it or not and although all posters...

Are you sure they go to Mississauga? At what I think is the appropriate web address (www . cic . gc . ca / english / information / applications / guides / 5289ETOC.asp--sorry for the strange formatting, but I'm not allowed to post links--to make it work, just remove all those spaces), it still...

We sent it to Vegreville.

jg, what should it say online when you check your status after you've been asked to apply for the CSQ? I applied to sponsor my husband on November 26 and got email confirmation of this (AOR) on Jan. 16. On Feb. 6, I was asked to submit the undertaking application to the MICC. When I check my...

Hola, Thanks, kidvicious, for updating the spreadsheet! Somehow it makes waiting easier when there are numbers and dates to stare at. Hope everyone is managing to stay calm during this stressful period! kanadskazena

Hi all helpful people, Just wanted to ask to be added to the spreadsheet when possible. Timeline: Application submitted to Vegreville: November 23, 2012 Application received: November 26, 2012 Received email stating that application had been received: January 16, 2013 Received request for...

Hi all, I've been reading through this very useful post and now I'd like to add another data point. Application submitted to Vegreville: November 23, 2012 Application received: November 26, 2012 Received email stating that application had been received: January 16, 2013 Received request for...

Thank you very much for clarifying this situation, PMM. I overlooked that sentence and am a bit annoyed that the Call Centre did too! It's most helpful of you to point it out to me.

I've got my question answered by calling CIC--perhaps this information will be helpful to someone else. The CIC says that the translations can be done by anyone who is not a family member. That person must provide an affidavit signed in front of someone who can take affidavits. A certified...
