Hi Cassandra, As canuck_in_uk has advised you, and me about 6 months ago! :) It's totally ok and pretty normal to wait out your PR in Canada as a Visitor with your sponsor. My situation was very similar to yours, Canadian by birth by living in the UK and married to a Brit with a little girl...

Thanks Warzo!!

We have now landed and my hubby is officially a permanent resident! A few updates for those who may be landing from Vancouver Island - I called CIC to check the nearest office in case we decided to make an appointment - there isn't one on the Island! So if we had decided to make an...

Thank you! Guess we knew if it seemed to good to be true, it would be :) My hubby wants to use this as an excuse to have to go to Mexico lol. Will let you know what we end up doing and how it goes!

Thanks! I guess I meant that as we are now in Canada, where they sent the COPR - their standard outland applicant letter is all about arriving in Canada and crossing the border, nothing about what to do if you are here already. Just wondered what their official suggestion would be.

COPR arrived in the mail yesterday - we picked up from the post office today :) It was sent registered from London to our address here in Canada - they sent it to me the sponsor though which I thought was odd! Also the letter inside was assuming we were still outland, so doesn't totally apply...

Thank you - great advice as we now have DM I'm so glad I saved the $100!

Oh. My. God. We have Decision Made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of today I think as we check every day!!! Remind me please as my mind as gone blank lol....will they usually email anything now or are we just waiting for papers in the mail?? We are in shock :) :) :)

Well we're 6 weeks away now from my husbands visitor visa expiring so going to apply for an extension. Didn't expect to have to but it seems like it's not really an issue to extend, just more paperwork and money! And so much repetition.....goddddddddddddddddd more forms! Blah done complaining :)

We found out from our notes that we received last week - a letter was sent on Jan 27th requesting more information on my husband's non-accompanying dependant's police check which has a minor reprimand on it. We have now emailed CIC saying we never received this letter and given them all the...

It might be worth adding to the spreadsheet that we had an information request in January that we just found out about - no doubt why we have been In Process for so long!

Hi Everyone, A disappointing update for us - we have been In Process since Jan 15th and heard nothing so I requested notes a month ago worrying that they were waiting for something that we didn't know about, and it turns out they were. Jan 27th they sent a letter requesting more info on my...

Almost at 7 weeks 'In Process' now...come oooooonnnnnnnnn London. I'm so envious of the Mississauga cases!

Congratulations!! I know you were processed in Ottawa but we seem to be on similar timelines so Im hoping we follow soon!!! :)

Morning all, from sunny BC. We are now over a month into our 'In Process' waiting period, as I see Nishra still is too....how likely do you think it is that CIC won't update ECAS to Decision Made and we'll just get a suprise in the mail? Also - we had intended to flagpole at the nearest border...

Hi Nishra, I've been in Process since the 15th Jan and I too check daily! I'm being processed via London though so I think you will get DM before me! Hopefully we'll both get news very soon.....

Nearest city is Victoria. Thanks for updating. Will let you know when we have more news! :)

We are in process as of Jan 15th!!! woohoo!! Am I correct that generally it will be updated again to decision made hopefully in the near future, then official paperwork comes in the mail? We applied outland from London but are now in Canada (address updated with CIC) so I assume the mail will...

Hi All I haven't caught up on my forum reading since we moved but just wanted to say that my husband entered Canada with me and our daughter via Calgary, he's British and we are currently waiting for PR. We had no problems at all at the border! We put down a 6 month stay on the landing card and...

Thanks SchnookoLoly and canuck_in_uk! I'm sure we'll be fine but you've helped my confidence and sanity :) We fly on the 3rd Dec via Calgary to see my grandpa and then on from there to Vancouver Island. So Calgary will be the official entry. I'll let you know how it goes! Ah yes just reminded...
