Hey Screech -I got my PR card so it can be added to the spreadsheet please. It's dated August 18th. So took just under 3 months and arrived August 24th. Glad to see things moving for you Brian, hope it's quick now. Good luck and speed to all others still waiting too. Anna

Thanks Mrembro and Sunsun. We had a short wait today for my landing interview and my Canadian born husband had most of the questions. He was asked: Have you ever been declared bankrupt? Have you any criminal convictions here or in another country? Are you currently working? Do you have any...

Thanks Screech339, I have my landing appointment through already and it's this coming Tuesday! So things are finally moving fast. :)

Well at just under 30 months processing time and after been told last Friday not to expect a decision until at least the end of July - which resulted in my writing a very desperate email to Chris Alexander's office -I am pleased to say I have received my DM email today! Hopefully not too long...

Hi Volkov, Yes you can apply to extend your OWP/stay with form "Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Visitor or Temporary Resident Permit Holder [IMM 5708]" which gives you another OWP. I'm on my second now and it was for 2 years this time so hopefully will...

I was on as a dependant on my husband's taxes from Sept 2012 (the day I arrived in Canada) until end Jan 2104 (which was when I started working as I got an Open Work Permit with my inland spousal sponsorship application). We have now linked our tax returns with my temporary SIN for 2014 to...

Sunsun - I was a school principal in the UK but am not over here. I didn't want to continue on that path so did not get certified here. I'm actually working in corporate services for a commercial real estate company in Calgary. My old position should not effect my application at all, in fact it...

Thank you Sunsun, hopefully...

Thanks Nervousme, I had noticed some from September 2012 applicants just getting DM so was getting more hopeful. My MP was a bit useless. Took 2 months each time (3 in total) and he didn't tell me anything I had not told him - word for word. I'm just hoping DM is before mid-November as I...

I have called them Sunsun, I actually call most weeks so I don't miss anything as I've seen others not get informed of things or get a landing meeting really quickly. The call centre agents either apologize and say they hope it will be soon as I've waited so long or they rudely/aggressively tell...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know what the change in the processing times mean? Is it 27 months in total or now 27 months just for stage 2 as it's not even called that anymore? I'm not even sure when this happened as I get so depressed looking at it and still waiting that I try not to go on there...

Hey Michaella1964, I can totally understand your frustration and upset. I too am in Calgary and will be 16 months on stage 2 on Monday! They can't give me any reasons why it's taking so long and keep changing what they say. Currently they have cleared my medical results (from second medical)...

I got told on October 20th that they would need time to review my background checks (which now say have had since June 15th 2014) and I could call back October 15th 2015!! I wrote an email immediately to Chris Alexander's office. Was called for a new medical 3 days later so am hoping this means...

Hi Minerva, It's just all so frustrating. We don't even have any dependants to delay mine. There is no logic on why anyone gets processed quickly or, like us, very slowly! Let's hope it is all coming to an end soon for both of us. I do fully expect to get called for a new medical at some point...

I'm still waiting. Just over a year for stage 2 now. Had my MP and even Chris Alexander involved. Waiting for one internal background check (either RCMP, CSIS or CBSA).Other two and UK check back and okay. Won't give me a time scale. Already re-requested the missing one twice. This information...

I didn't expect special treatment over others and never would. None of the experiences on here are logical, fair or consistent. I asked as it was only 5 days before I hit the 8 month wait for DM, 18 months into this. Not a huge amount in terms of the wait so far and had they actually done...

Here's an update as my stage 2 was 8 months processing time yesterday... I called CIC as I have regularly done throughout so nothing slips through the net and I was told they are still waiting for my background check from the UK. So I asked (again) how long this may take as it's all they have...

I have just had to do my zero 2012 and 2013 returns even though I only started work 10 weeks ago. They needed them as my husband had claimed me as a dependant through his. Hopefully the next time I do them I'll have my PR as there's no movement at all on mine and even my MP was told by CIC that...

Congrats Mimence777. I'm a day ahead of you on submission and AIP, so I just checked ecas for my DM. No such luck for me. But does now say medical results have been received - no delay there then as they have had them since November 15, 2012!!!! In answer to the question of; do any of us still...

Hi Migraine and Mimence, My AIP was Oct 2nd, no dependants, marriage not questioned, medical automatically extended until Sept 2014, police check ok, no docs needed, nothing missing, nothing wrong. I was told by CIC agent my case is a normal, straightforward one and they can't explain the delay...
