My spouse just received her COPR in the mail today! Took 7 days from when ECAS first showed DM for the papers to get to Virginia. This is the first communication we've had from CIC since May 29, when they requested FBI check -- we'd submitted the original in January. We submitted a copy by 3...

Thanks for all this. I think we may hire a broker to get the ITN for us, then do the rest ourselves.

Thanks, Maria! Cheers, Linda

I'm sure I've read posts on the topic of importing your vehicle as part of settler's effects, but am having trouble finding info using this site's search engine. Does anyone have tips for filing on AES to get ITN? My spouse tells me there's a 34-item questionnaire you have to pass to proceed...

So happy for you, Maria! Thanks for all your advice and support, and for being brave enough to go to the media on this.

So happy to hear this for Maria -- finally some good news for her! Thanks for all your support and advice, Sherry & Dave.

Thanks for this very thorough and helpful response. I need to do something constructive with my frustration at CIC before I shoot myself in the foot. Currently sorting and pitching 15 years worth of photos on slides, keeping about 2% for digitizing. Not the first time I'm aware I need to edit...

ECAS showed DM for my spouse's application as of June 20. Neither of us has yet received an email to that effect from CIC. Have other folks had experience of receiving COPR via snail mail without first receiving an email? Concerned that we may have fallen through the cracks again. We would have...

We applied Oct. 29, 2014, SA granted Jan. 21, 2015.

Just checked ECAS. Status of our application has been changed to DM! So they DO update on Saturdays! Probably have a team of minions who do the data entry. Fingers crossed it's good news -- now we wait for snail mail. Hoping you'll hear very soon, Maria, and those of you who have been waiting...

Congrats, Amalthea, and thanks for all your support and advice. So happy for you two -- love the photo! Good to know about your car. We hope to export/import ours when my spouse lands, but hope we can get all the paperwork done in advance. You have to do the export part at the Pacific Highway...

The relief part is likely quite normal, after waiting in suspense for so long. The happiness will follow, once you're finished with the Landing process. My spouse and I have been a couple for five years, but have had to live apart and wait until she can retire and claim full Social Security...

Congrats. michminn! So happy for you and your partner.

After weeks of multiple attempts to get through to an agent at the Call Centre, I was just put through to a very helpful woman named Aurelie (Sp.?). She confirmed that 2 days ago, a note was made on our file that the copy of the FBI letter and Proof of Receipt from UPS had been received by...

My sympathies, Maria. You mentioned previously that you'd had a response to your submission of a copy of the FBI report ABOUT three weeks later. We were hoping to hear something back by tomorrow about our submission of a copy, but my spouse just re-read the email she received and it said we'd...

No, I think they just LOST the original report that we received direct from the FBI and are asking for another one. The wording about "channelers" is likely just part of the form letter. No point contacting my MP -- he's a right-wing fundamentalist Christian, unlikely to be supportive of a...

We applied for the FBI certificate directly in August 2014, received it mid-November, and sent the original by courier to CPC-Ottawa after they confirmed SA and file transfer there in January. Here's the quote from the email we received on May 29: "CIC does not accept FBI police certificates...

The email my spouse received requesting ANOTHER FBI check specifically states that they will NOT accept the document from a channeler.

Thanks VAtoBC, we're NJ to BC ;) When the report comes in, maybe to speed up the process you can scan and email it to Ottawa, with an email explaining the original report is coming in the mail too. Cover all the bases and maybe they'll jump right on it, like they did with MichMinn. Best of...
