Haha! Yep, either that or avoid her at all costs!!

Apparently the dates have to match exactly so that the COPR stamp and your passport stamp are the same? I can't help but feel like I have been given the run around!

Hello everyone! I havent been online a while but I was hoping someone may be able to offer some advice! I landed on Dec 8th and after Christmas I went to Service Canada to get my SIN number (I have already had a SIN number issued since 2009 with working visas, so have tax returns etc) the lady...

I truly believe it depends on who you talk to when contacting MSP as we have received lots of conflicting advice, but when I was here before on a working visa we added me on to my other half's MSP plan but you still have a wait period. They say three months when in fact its the remainder of the...

Thank you Sweden! Yes Canada post was super quick and it was a shock to say the least! I am looking forward to the weekend as we plan to Land on Saturday and make the most of the weekend before starting the job hunt and trying to figure out reality! lol

Well much to my surprise my COPR arrived today in Vancouver less than a week since London mailed it! It doesn't seem real that I have spent months stalking ecas and wondering if the whole process would ever end and now I am practically done and faced with job hunting several months before I...

I know how you feel about worrying that London will slow down on the approach to the holidays, but I wanted to offer you some reassurance with regards to the post as I received my COPR today. It was mailed last Friday from London and I received it in Vancouver today less than a week later (much...

Thanks Sweden! I was thinking two weeks, although now I have an update it makes waiting a whole lot easier! I am not sure how long the shock will last, but I certainly will enjoy the moment and celebrate the day of landing! It looks like they are pushing through so hopefully a lot more good news...

Thanks Laurenhannah! It looks like you are only a week behind us so fingers crossed you hear something soon! Although you wont quite believe it when you do as its so surreal! Good luck!

I have no idea how you are still waiting, and I can only imagine the frustration! This whole process has been a long one with no sense or reason as to how the process works. I think the most frustrating thing is that they never update you (ours went straight from app received to decision made)...

ps - Sunshine87 would you mind updating the spreadsheet for me please :o)

Hi guys, i just wrote on the London thread and realized that I should update the April applicants too... I checked ecas this morning and it said decision made!! I had to look several times to convince myself that I was not seeing things but my eyes were not playing tricks on me! It also said...

Hello Everyone! Well I think I am still in shock, but I just checked ecas and it says decision made! They started processing my application on nov 26th and decision made today!! I am definitely in shock as my hands are literally shaking as I type this! You check ecas several times a day always...

I wish I could remember what option I selected, but I don't sorry! I just remember it repeatedly gave warnings about not being able to give advice concerning visa offices and that they were experiencing higher than normal call volumes (but then they always say that) I continued to hold for a few...

Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with delivery! (as if this is not stressful enough!) I just checked where I sent our application and it's basically the same, the only difference was that we addressed it to "Sponsorship: Spousal". But the address is the same, and more importantly the...

I don't know if this will be helpful for anyone else to know, but I thought I would post my update just incase it helps anyone else. As I mentioned before my status on ecas states "application received" and hasn't changed since April 27th and I know that some other people have also had no update...

You're right, what has become of us when we think of a long weekend as a bad thing! immigration has messed with us all! lol.... I even miss working! Gone are the days when I would count down the hours to the weekend, now I find it disturbing that I miss the routine of going to work. But I am...

I agree it is amazing how busy it is getting, but this also means that my ecas addiction is becoming more of a problem! lol

That is so dreadful! So they offer no explanation at all as to what is going on, and why they failed to transfer your file? You would hope that because of their error that they would make you a priority! I truly feel so bad for you! Although the way that this whole system works means that we are...

hello everyone! I am a newbie and other people have mentioned the spreadsheets for April applicants (a very impressive and helpful looking spreadsheet, if not a little intimidating for an idiot like me!) My application was received on April 29th, medical was April 21st, and I received a letter...
