In my case it wasn't relevant since we are not moving to Quebec.

Thanks, I sincerely hope that everyone gets their COPR before long! (Frauds obviously excepted.) I am trying to order the notes and I read on the forum that you can have them sent to a contact in Canada if you are out of the country. I can send them to my sister, but now I'm trying to figure...

Thank you for the warning! Yes, the notice informs us that we must land before February 15th 2015, so we have a lot of wiggle room. I can't remember if that was the exact date of the medicals in 2014, but it was something around that time frame anyway.

We received the Confirmation of Permanent Residence today!!! Which means precisely 3 months have gone by between the reception of our file in Mississauga and us receiving COPR. Incredible! Good luck to everyone waiting for news! By the way since we got it so much earlier than expected, we...

I'm thinking of ordering the notes too, just out of curiosity. Because it's just plain weird, kind of uncomfortable even, to submit your relationship for evaluation by some anonymous immigration officer, and it makes me wonder what they thought of us. We'll probably order them once the whole...

Nope, since they have lived together for over a year they are just fine to apply as a common-law couple. It can be a bit harder to prove, but marriage is not necessary.

Thanks Steler! The two of us are actually living in Paris at the moment, and Paris->Paris mail typically takes one or two days. Luckily the French post is very reliable. So hopefully today is the day! We won't know until we get back from work and can check the mail. I was hoping it would be...

No letter yet! We're actually getting worried: what if our application was just SO BAD that they rejected it right away? That doesn't happen, right? If there is a problem they contact you to ask you for an interview, or for more documents, before rejecting your application? BTW in response...

Our application now shows: Decision Made! They "will contact Mr. Romance in Paris concerning this decision." We are still waiting and very hopeful! Our application went into processing on May 5th according to eCAS and today is the 13th. As I see it, the only reason to finalize an application...

Netkid, thanks for sharing your experience! This gives hope to all of us waiters. Would you mind sharing a bit of your relationship story? (Sorry if you've already done so without me seeing it.) For instance are you married or common-law, for how long, what proof you submitted?

Today eCAS was updated to: In Processing (We started processing Mr. Romance in Paris's application on 5th May 2014.) So here we go for the next step! If Steler's application also at the Paris VO is an example to go by, we have a good long wait ahead of us. Finger's crossed.

I had the same thing the first time I logged into eCAS! The underlined statuses only appeared after a few days. The system doesn't necessarily get updated right away, that's all (frustrating though!)

Personally I think the evidence you've included is sufficient. I would wait for them to ask for more before sending it. I personally included a printout of my Facebook page (going on for about 40 pages on paper) which includes our relationship status being together, pictures of various...

I realized our medicals are not updated in the spreadsheet. They were done on February 13th and eCAS confirms that they have been received.

We received the AOR from the Paris visa office today! I was surprised it was my boyfriend (the sponsoree) who received it and not me (sponsor), but that must be normal. Anyway I'm delighted. Hopefully we'll be processed soon!

It sounds like you've received SA without being notified. Maybe the letter is in the mail. Try phoning the VO in Manila to see if they've received your file. I think you can use the number on your payment receipt to help them identify your file if you haven't received a UCI number. That...

Is anyone else anxiously checking their application status every hour or so? In theory it's updated once a week, and usually on Tuesdays (I know, it's still early in the day!). But the processing times haven't been updated on the CIC website in almost two weeks so if that's anything to judge...

I was sad to read your story, Miss Matalani! I hope your mother in law calms down and realizes that she's only estranging herself from her own son by acting so abominably toward the woman he has chosen as his life's partner. Don't lose hope for a future reconciliation, if only for the sake of...

Don't feel bad! Here's my own experience: When filing the application for my common-law partner, we *somehow* did not understand that the fees are over $1000. I thought that we only had to pay the "sponsorship fee" of $75! How innocent I was... I guess we were so busy working on the...

Thank you for your reply Steler! It's great to have some reassurance from members of this board who are going through the same thing. It seems the PR application is a recipe for paranoia :P Anyway I hope I have as good luck with the Paris office as you have had so far!
