Hi VIV and Zion, I just hope you guys have finally reached the finishing line of this crazy ordeal! Just as I had mobilized our MP and the immigration minister and a couple of other individuals I received the famous letter requesting to pay a fee of 490$ and to double check our personal...

Consider 1-2 months fast! The CIC call center sent Vegreville a message requesting and update on my file. They have 90 days to respond. Guess what happened after 90 days! No response and the Call center sent out another message. Again 90 days to wait! That's half a year right there! Good luck!

I think when it comes to the CIC processing PR applications nothing can be considered normal. We applied back in 2011 and after having redone our medical twice we are still waiting. I was told that the medical exams are valid for 18 months. When they expired for the first time I was told they...

We are still waiting since applying in July 2011. At this point I will be sending a complaint letter to various people in the government and media. It should not be at our expense that the Canadian immigration is not able to process our files within a reasonable amount of time. We had to redo...

No, in our case it had little to do with the withdrawal of our refugee claim that lengthened the process. It was for one that Vegreville had a huge back log due to changing the processing system just before hand. And a year and a half into the process my daughter turned 18 y.o. They needed her...

ERPL: Perfect! Thank you very much. Yes I was thinking about applying out land, since my WHV is not extendable anyways. Can I ask why did you apply in-land? Reply: Our case was a little complicated. We had to put in a refugee claim at the same time as starting our application for permanent...

We just spoke to our MP. Who told us he will send an inquiry to the CIC regarding our case. I won't hold my breath as I doubt we will get around redoing our medicals but I suggest for any of you out there who are still waiting it might push things forward.

We were faced with the same dilemma. My common law partner is from Quebec. We moved in together in 2010. In order to apply for PR we had to be living together for one year before applying. Our inland application was received in Sept 2011. By which time I was already 6 months pregnant. No doctor...

We put in a common law sponsorship application after having lived together for one year. There is no real difference to being married or not apart from the fact that you have to show a lot of proof that your relationship is genuine. Get your name on lease, joint bank account, hydro bill, ect...

We applied from inside Canada in 2011 and are still waiting. If I could go back in time I would most certainly apply from outside of Canada. We are stuck in Canada and can not travel abroad. We were now asked to redo our medicals and pay the fees again for the exam because they have expired in...

We sent our application in the summer of 2011 and are still waiting for the PR. At this point we are told to redo our medicals and pay the fee again. Unfortunately I can not do the medicals at this point because I am pregnant. Which adds another 7 months plus additional processing time to the...
