Sorry, not too familiar with the acronyms of various immigration stages, but here is my timeline: Sponsorship approved: June 4, 2016 Medical request: Aug 28, 2016 Medical received: Sept 22, 2016 Passport request: Nov 28, 2016

I just received PPR letter from CIC. However my parents are visiting the United States and will stay there for three months. In other words, they are neither in the home country (China) nor in Canada for the next three months. Where should they send their passports then? Could they send the...

I have an important question that I hope someone can kindly help me with - My parents already did medical and provided police clearance. Their case is being processed in Ottawa, probably because they were in Canada with me when the sponsorship application was submitted. But right now they live...

I got an email from CIC Ottawa asking for police certificate and the landing fee for my parents. Question - The email mentioned that only a scanned copy of the police certificate is needed, but never clearly stated where to send the scanned copy. Should I just directly reply their email? The...

me too. >:(

My application was submitted shortly after 8am Jan 2nd but haven't got SA yet. So we are in the same boat. Hopefully we can both get SA soon.

Dear folks, Anyone who submitted their application on Jan 2nd 2015 but haven't got sponsorship approved yet? My submission was shortly after 8am that day, but still haven't got the approval yet, and I am feeling very anxious and stressful. :( :'(

Thank you so much soonihope! I really appreciate your help! :)

Hi soonihope, This is a great idea! Thank you! :D Just a couple of follow up questions: 1. To your knowledge, would requesting gcms notes slow down the application processing? 2. I guess for sponsorship application status inquiry, it would be sufficient for me to request information just for...

guys, could I get your advise for my current situation - My application was one of the earliest on Jan 2, 2015. Seeing that many of the 2015 folks already got sponsorship approved while I didn't hear anything except an email notification with application number back in March 2015, I called CIC...

Thank you Rob! Your explanation makes perfect sense!

Thank you! You mean photocopy for both the PR card and the parents' passports?

Thanks! But what about the parents' passports? Are you certifying their passports as well?

One item required for parent sponsorship is photocopy of permanent resident card. Is the photocopy itself sufficient, or the copy has to be certified by notary? I called CIC and the agent told me photocopy should be sufficient unless the instruction clearly asks for certified copy (and the...

I submitted my citizenship application in mid Nov 2013 but haven't got anything so far from CIC. Is this normal? The only information I have so far is the FedEx online tracking status, which shows that my application reached CIC office on Nov 20 2013. Is there anything I should do now? Can...

Actually I have something more to add here - I will study my Ph.D. in Montreal but I don't want to apply for Quebec skilled worker since I don't plan to learn French. But if I apply for Federal skilled worker, my intended place to live needs to be somewhere outside Quebec. In fact, the intended...

I have full time working experience over the last three years, have an immigration score above the pass mark, and will be going to Canada as a full time Ph.D student. I plan to submit my immigration application to Buffalo after I begin my study. In normal cases, I expect to get my PR card...

Hi PMM, Thanks!

Hi PMM, Thanks for your help! So from what you described, the first type of my understanding seems to be correct. That is - as long as my study permit is longer than 1 year, I can apply to Buffalo immediately after I come to Canada (instead of having to live in Canada for one year). Is this...

I am from Asia and will go to Canada this Fall pursuing my Ph.D. Meanwhile I want to submit my immigration application as a skilled worker. I am thinking of submitting my application to Buffalo Visa Office since the application processing speed there is much faster than that of my country. I...
