Hi guys, My girlfriend just landed today as a Canadian PR. The PR Card should come in 4 - 6 weeks, but unfortunately she has to travel to southern USA for university in about 4 weeks, so she might not have her PR Card by then. Moreover, she'll only be there for about a week and she'll be...

Hi saima123. Yes, before the CAIPS notes actually start, there are three additional attached pages: 1) Cover letter 2) Privacy Act exemption explanation page 3) Record Correction Request Form In the cover letter to me, they say "Certain information qualifies for exemption pursuant to...

Hi all, Just a little FYI. If anybody is waiting on CAIPS notes that they ordered recently, you might be in for a bit of a wait. I just received my CAIPS notes yesterday (the letter was dated Feb 1, 2010) and they received my request all the way back on Nov. 27, 2009. Two full months. I did...

Hi saima123, If you don't mind me asking, when did you send in your CAIPS request? I sent mine in on Nov 25, 2009 and haven't heard back anything from them!! Although for me, I am kind of lucky because we already received our PPR in the meantime, and so the CAIPS notes are much less important...

Hey guys. I forgot to update my status on here. My common-law partner got her PPR a little over a week ago. So, we've sent the passport in and are awaiting its return. The one funny/strange thing is that I sent a CAIPS request about two months ago now (around Nov. 25), but we have not...

I ordered CAIPS on Nov. 25, 2009 and still have not received them. Mine appear to be taking a little longer than the seemingly standard of 30 days, but things are probably just moving slower because of the holidays, as Suin said. Nonetheless, I'm still starting to wonder where my CAIPS are...

Hey harupit, I think some of the posters in this thread already received their PPRs and are busy getting ready to land in Canada. Congrats again to all of them! As for your question, I have no idea for sure, but I'm *guessing* what you did should be OK. Since there has been literally no...

Thanks habib. Actually, I didn't realize that it was so cheap and easy to order CAIPS notes until I was reading up on them in this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/search-results/-t11124.0.html;msg39772;topicseen#msg39772 Since I'm sponsoring my...

Hi harupit200281. I'm in a similar situation to you. We're doing common-law sponsorship through Taipei (which historically appears to have pretty fast processing times). Our eCas was updated saying that PR processing began on Sept. 16 and since then there has been nothing at all. Just like...

Hi thai/peg, I don't think you have anything to worry about. When I sent my application to CPC-M, a very similar thing happened. Even though I live somewhat close to CPC-M, I used Xpresspost so that I could track the package. It was supposed to arrive at CPC-M on Aug. 5. When tracking my...

Hey guys, First of all, no congratulations are in order yet, I’m just doing a bit of pre-planning so I’m not rushed at the last minute. I know there are lots of threads on PPR and mailing, so I apologize if this question was answered elsewhere and I didn’t unearth it during my search. I’m...

Hey guys. For the heck of it, I called the CIC call center today, but the girl basically told me they wouldn't have any additional information other than what was provided in the sponsorship approval letter (i.e. that the sponsorship was approved on Sept. 1 and would be forwarded to the Taipei...

Hi tme. The other thread I created has been updated. Basically other members have recommended that eCAS is not always that reliable and that different visa offices have different habits when it comes to processing and updating the system. So, it's very well possible that the visa office...

Hey guys. First off, thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Your advice really is comforting. Indeed, patience is the key with this entire process! :) I know 2.5 weeks is an insignificant amount of time compared to how long most people have/had to wait for their processing. But, I've...

Hi tme. Unfortunately, it looks like we are in the same boat. Hopefully we will both get updates soon either on eCAS or in the mail. I'll definitely keep you posted of any updates on my end. For now, I created a new thread to see if anybody else has suggestions about how long one should wait...

Hi, I was approved as a sponsor about 2.5 weeks ago (September 1). However, when I log on to eCAS, the “Permanent Residence Application Status” is still listed as “not available”. I believe the status should change to “In Process” sometime in the near future (presumably as soon as the Taipei...

Congratulations OneLuckyCookie! That is really awesome news!! Your timeline is really quite incredible! Berlin has only been processing your application for like 3 weeks. Do you know if Berlin usually requests the passport near the beginning of the process or near the end? I see they...

Thanks for your replies! As expected, the time lines for the offices appear to be very different and they are not consistent in terms of updating ECAS. I guess ECAS may not always be the best way to judge the progress of the application. Having said that, it usually takes about two weeks to...

Hey guys! I think many (most?) of us in this thread have now received our respective sponsorship approvals. Congratulations to everyone for that! I'm just wondering for how many people the next stage has officially begun. When I log on to ECAS (sponsor information using receipt number)...

Hi Soap, I could log onto ECAS with my receipt number roughly two days before I received the letter in the mail from CPC-M. I'm really not too familiar with the details of inland applications and when you should be expecting to receive anything in the mail. Given the information on trackitt...
