Congratulations, Abuelita! :-)

This response comes very late to the replies but for future members with the same question. Yes, you CAN get "land" at Point Roberts. I had my COPR and 'landed' today.

Hang in there MsBigShot! It'll arrive soon! Enjoy the summer first :-)

Thanks MsBigShot! :D No they didn't request more information. They had asked me for a new medical exam and also more evidence to cover the 1 year of my common-law cohabitation. I got an email notification as soon as they had received my medical exam (as soon as it was uploaded by the doctor)...

Thanks figtoria :-)

Got CPR today. :D So I can try to book an appointment at a CIC office (I tried calling but is this next step a "getting a PR card"?). I have a British passport so I don't need to send my passport in. Or do most people just flagpole and get their PR at a border? (I'm close to US border). Also...

Received my CPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence) in my mailbox today :-) I read the instructions to become a PR and not entirely clear on the next steps. Can anyone help? So I can try to book an appointment at a CIC office (I tried calling but is this next step a "getting a PR card"?). I...

It will be our turn soon. The wait is for sure a humbling experience.

Yep - still waiting... wish us all speedy finalization. Have been through a lot of lows waiting...

Yep, still waiting. I received request for further proof of common-law relationship (CIC received it on 16th April).

Mine costed $270 including X-Ray (which costed $100, though there are cheaper places to do the X-Ray but means you have to go to a different location maybe on a different day). Had it done in Burnaby, BC.

Congratulations to the DMers! Very happy for all of you. Thanks everyone for sharing the news and the ongoing support. Your messages here has made this journey so much more bearable!

Congratulations! Fantastic news!

Chin up! Looks like things are moving in Ottawa. Best of luck!

Thanks for your response, OhCanadiana I wrote a cover letter explaining and provided as many bills/statements, etc that I could since our cohabitation and definitely covers 18 months. So fingers-and-toes crossed. :-)

Thanks for your response, BeShoo. We filed in August 2014 (one year after I moved to Canada and started cohabitation with my partner). November 2013 was when we moved from my partner's parents home (after the mother passed away) to our own condo. I have now collated all paperwork that shows...

I recently got an email from CIC requesting more evidence of cohabitation for my me and my partner: "Please provide additional documents showing that you continuously cohabited with your sponsor for at least one year prior to 2013/11. Please be sure to provide us with the oldest possible...

I also got an email today from Ottawa today asking for additional documents. They also said they had sent a Medical Certificate form in October 2014 - which we never received. I had supplied an electronic file of Medical Report from when I had thought I had needed it for a multiple entry visa...

Congratulations! That's great news!

That is really good news IMHO! At least the file is being tended to and not in some queue somewhere. Thanks for sharing. :)
