Hi Senior Members, I am planning to submit sponsorship application for my dad this January 2016. As part of supporting documents, CIC requires my dad's birth certificate. The problem is, he doesn't have a birth certificate and neither can he apply for one as there was no official birth records...

I am based in Toronto, Canada.

Got my Passport back y'day. It took exactly 17 days to get the passports back. I am so happy!!!

I placed a smaller Xpresspost envelope inside a letter sized one. That is how my friend did and he got it back on Xpresspost without any delay. I guess if you have more passports, then a small envelope is not a good idea. Otherwise it makes perfect sense to send a smaller envelope inside letter...

I got my Passport Req on 2-Aug. I have booked tickets to fly on 7-Sep. Cancelling/rescheduling those tickets would cost me a fortune. I have a feeling that they are processing quick these days. Can someone point out if this is the trend we are seeing?

Congrats!! I have a similar timeline. Was your file transferred in July 2012 to Ottawa?

Hey Sharuu, Hearty Congratulations!! I just logged on to this forum after nearly 3 weeks thinking nothing would happen in Dec.. Your PPR is your well deserved Christmas gift. I am so happy for you buddy. Let me know if you reside in Toronto. I would sure love to meet you.

I am Ontario PNP - under Pilot Master's Stream

Does anyone know as to how early we can apply for WP extension? My WP is expiring in 6months. I want to renew it well in advance..

Contact your Provincial Nominee Office to get a ssupport letter for an open WP. You can explain your current situation. If you give them all supporting documents, they should be able to help you.

No, I just sent scanned pdfs to them. If possible try to send it by FAX. You can paste the Bar Code sticker to make it look authentic. But you have proof of my case that email works as well.

I applied under Pilot International Masters stream as well. In my GCMS notes, CIC has put 'Skilled Worker' as my stream under PNC information. Although it is no deal breaker, just curious to know if others have a different stream mentioned.

I renewed my passport in Aug this year. I sent them a scanned copy by email. The acknowledgement email came after nearly a month. My GCMS notes is also updated with my new passport details.

If you are PNP, you can approach your PNP office four months in advance of your WP expiry to get a WP support letter. I heard that they provide such letters on a case by case basis. To CIC, i think you can do it 2 months in advance.

Sharuu, I am on the same boat as you are with my WP expiring in May next year. I appreciate your optimism and I sincerely hope that you get your PPR soon. Hang in there..

App received by Buffalo on 7-April-2011 Meds done & received by Buffalo on 20-Oct-2011 PPR - Still waiting

I have no idea as to when my file was transferred. I got my GCMS about a month ago. It only had Buffalo as my processing centre and no mention of Ottawa. However, I emailed Ottawa to update my file with new passport details for which they emailed back the acknowledgement. I am waiting for my...

I am an April, 2011 applicant with file transferred to Ottawa. Just wondering if any of you paid your RPRF fee in advance i.e before CIC actually asking for it. I heard stories that CIC might process faster if you pay your RPRF in advance. I am not sure if Ottawa would process my cheque. In...

Shaaru, Does CIC commit to the due dates mentioned on the GCMS notes? For me, it is 29-Aug under the Eligibility Section and RCMP screening validity is until 30-Aug. Does 'No reportable trace' under RCMP screening mean itz all good, or does it mean they are still trying to find a trace...lol...

What is the due date on your file? Is your file in Ottawa now?
