thanks so much for your quick reply! He said that there was nothing special in his passport and just a letter stating that because he was American or something he didn't need a visa to get in, so they don't need to put anything his passport?? Anyway, you've made me feel better! thanks! :D

My husband received his COPR this morning. Or what I am guessing it is. He showed me over skype and it big letters written across the doc it says "NOT FOR TRAVEL" ??? Any idea what that is about? All the information is there though, like his photo and what he needs to do when he lands... is it...

Ouch! that sucks :( sorry to hear it. It's so unfair how it all depends on the person's mood at the time basically. I mean, the fact that you guys are applying for his Canadian residency should be proof enough that you don't intend to stay in the States. If only she knew how long and expensive...

we ended up having a wonderful time with a date at a tasty Indian restaurant and then some drive through the mountains and a swim in the river!! Perfect! But you know, I like Boston Pizza and video games too! Best to just do what you both love.

That IS great news! It's always so much greater knowing what's going on then being in the dark. Congrat! I hope you, and everyone else, hear something soon!! Tomorrow is our one year wedding anniversary already! OK, so we don't have the visa yet, but we seem to be nearly there (sent the...

Kiri!!! That is painful. I am so sorry. All I can say is that you gotta keep moving. It's definitely hard right now (we on here know the pain in the a#$ it is to compile this application), but just keeping making the steps to get it back to them. In the mean time, it may be worth calling CIC...

No. No new updates on ecas. Still says in process. But it only said "in process" for about one week before we got the PPR. They also only gave us 20 days to get the passport to them. How long did they give you?

My husband's passport is American (he was born in the States). but anyway, we already sent it more than 2 weeks ago

This was what was in the e-mail from LA: Passport requirements We require an original VALID passport for yourself and every accompanying family member. Passports for all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank page in your passport(s). If there...

They didn't ask for that. they just asked for the passport, 2 photos and a return envelope.

um?? I am not entirely certain what a cOPR is?? I mean we got the PPR e-mail (or my husband did) and we mailed the passport 5 days later but we haven't heard anything since. When do we get the COPR then?? Or do you know? The PPR isn't the last step?

Seriously! This application, especially at the beginning and getting everything together was stressful! It put a lot of stress on our new marriage. I mean, I don't regret it because now we are near the finish line, and I guess it helped us to learn more efficient ways to work together, but it...

That's awesome news!! :D :D :D :D Almost there!!!!!

thanks for the quick reply. I got concerned because other usually got 30 and one person (who also applied in Jan) got 60 days... ???

We received my husband's PPR e-mail on August 8th. It read that we had twenty (20) days to send or bring in his passport. So: August 28th. Here is the e-mail: We are pleased to inform you that the processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada has been completed. You are...

60 days! we had 20! When was your medical done??? oh! and congrats! ;)

did you guys see that they updated the processing times? Ottawa isn't on there but LA is. down to 10 months now!

Congrats!! I am wondering when you did your medical?? We had 20 days to send the passport, so just wondering if that has to do with medical

Congrats!! Took so long for it to come back!! why?? but anyway, it doesn't matter!! You got it!! :D :D :D :D :D

Pelipeli, It is hard, but ecas means nothing. Of course it would be soooo much nicer if it were a real reflection of their progress, but I don't believe it is. Ours didn't say "in process" for about one week before we got the ppr. Surely they were doing something before that. Also, we had the...
