Yes, I believe that's what it means. From what I can see, their "Waiting for you" indication is a total mess - it's more confusing than helpful. In our case it's even stranger: "Send us additional information - Waiting for you" never got hidden after we submitted everything they requested. My...

Same for my wife, oath ceremony on Feb 14, received the email invite on Feb 2.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share the experience with my wife's citizenship application: We first applied in January last year, but never received an AOR. IRCC later claimed they "lost the application" and asked us to submit a form to withdraw the application so that they can issue a refund. I...

Hi everyone, is there anyone here who got the test invitation despite leaving some of the tax year rows empty in the application form? I've only included 2014, 2015 and 2016 (with Yes checked), since I became a permanent resident in 2014. Most people here say they filled in all 5 years, with...

Well, there's still the BC Services Card (provincial ID), which can't be obtained without the PR card and it takes up to another 30 days :D In different provinces the rules are different, but apparently with these rules and processing times BC does everything to ensure new immigrants have more...

Hi everyone! I've finally received my PR card in the mail :) Here's the full sequence of events, just in case: Dec 20 - Landed Feb 17 - Called CIC and found out they don't know my new address, even though the Home Address in ECAS was correct. Told CIC my new address by phone and sent an online...

I've just called CIC and found out they don't have my Canadian address on file - so they were just silently waiting for my Canadian address all this time. It's strange, because I told my address when landing, and it appeared under "Home address" in ECAS. The mailing address remained unchanged...

I wonder if there's someone who still can see their PR card application status, or if it disappeared for everyone. Can anyone confirm they still see it?

Good to know it's not a really unique situation. I guess it shouldn't be a reason to worry for now. I'll post in this topic as soon as I have news.

Hi everyone, my PR card application status appeared in ECAS on January 30, and now, several hours later, it disappeared again. I have no idea what this means. I'd be glad to know if anyone heard about such cases before. I landed on December 20. According to ECAS status, which is now...

Thank you! No, just a recommendation, based on my old medical records, to have yearly cardiologist / echocardiogram examinations, purely as a preventive measure (in fact, I don't even think anything would happen if I don't do them). Not an issue by itself, but this potentially incurs future...

Hi everyone, I've finally landed yesterday at Vancouver airport! :) I guess I'm lucky that there were no queues at all: not a single immigrant in the hall for new immigrants, just the officers. My flight arrived at 2:40pm and I've left the airport building at 3:50pm. I think the longest...

Hi Optimist3, I want to resolve some organizational questions in my home country - I really hope there won't be any surprises - and then if everything is according to the plan, I'll land in December. No, they didn't make any calls, as far as I know. But I've found out from my application GCMS...

CIC does not seem to behave predictably regarding the caps for now. Even though they've updated the cap for 2174 to 1000 - it's an unexpectedly big jump from the previous value for 2174 and it's (possibly) too soon according to the old estimates. And still there are no applications returned due...

Hi everyone, just an update: There were many cases when one invalid entry (with obviously wrong/mismatched dates) in the spreadsheet breaks the charts and the estimates. Moreover, Google Forms does not provide enough flexibility to tell people right away that they're entering invalid dates. As a...

Hi everyone, Just an update: I've received GCMS notes for my application, and even though I've read a lot about CIC procedures, I've found some of the notes fairly interesting and even surprising :) CIC actually does verify the diplomas and work history via independent channels, such as your...

Hi everyone, I've just got my passport with the visa! :) I still need to do some preparations and I hope to land in Vancouver in about 1-2 months. Thank you everyone for the inspiration and support, and good luck to you! :) P.S. I will still continue supporting the spreadsheet, no worries :)

Thank you everyone for congratulations :) Thank you CanOl :) No, I'm not the first one, there are several other FSW 2014 applicants who have got the visa and landed already (per the spreadsheet and per their posts on this forum). Still, I'm trying to organize everything that depends on me as...

Thank you everyone for congratulations regarding my RPRF payment request :) And it's not all - I've just received a passport request, just two hours after I've paid the RPRF! Kyiv office continues to surprise with their unbelievable speed :D Moreover, as I'm currently in U.S., Kyiv office has...

Hi everyone! I've just received an RPRF payment request! :) And at the same time my ECAS status has finally updated from "2. Medical results have been received" to "2. We started processing your application on September 19, 2014. 3. Medical results have been received". Interestingly enough...
