    Almost two weeks after DM and still no COPR. Anyone else have this long of a wait?

    AUGUST 2014 OUTLAND Applicants

    CIC website changed to Decision Made this morning! Anybody know how long it takes to get your COPR and whether they send it electronically or via regular mail? I'm a little nervous because my medicals expire Saturday and I have no idea how long I have to land/ move! And I'd like to give my work...

    AUGUST 2014 OUTLAND Applicants

    Received an email yesterday requesting our marriage certificate; they claim we sent the license rather than a valid marriage certificate when in fact we sent the certified long form certificate. Nonetheless we overnighted the file size certificate to them and hopefully that should be what they...

    AUGUST 2014 OUTLAND Applicants

    Our package was delivered on 8/27 but we haven't received AOR yet...should we be concerned?? I see other people who submitted just a few days before us that already have sponsor approval. Does lack of AOR mean they aren't working on ours yet? D:

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Do you know if your time with a learner's permit counts towards this two years? I ask because at this time I have only had a "full" license for almost a year, but I held a permit for about 5 or 6 years (there were circumstances outside of my control making it difficult for me to take the test...

    Sending Original Pictures and Receipts? Questions....

    We sent anything official as an original. Everything else (cards, movie tickets, letters, etc) were photocopies with a note that we would produce originals upon request. We also sent them in black &white to save on ink costs.

    Health exam costs

    I would contact the CIC call center at 1-888-242-2100 (number found on the panel physician list on the CIC website) to see if you can get in touch with anyone who can either help you or give you contact information for someone who can. There seems to be something strange about this whole...

    Thanks for the info! I guess I'll try to not think about it too much until then...though that'll be easier said than done.

    AUGUST 2014 OUTLAND Applicants

    Congrats! How do you find out when they receive it? Ours should be reaching their office tomorrow--should I keep an eye out for an email?

    AUGUST 2014 OUTLAND Applicants

    Application is finally finished (waiting on a couple support letters to go in with the evidence is all) and my husband will be mailing it out tomorrow. PHEW!! So excited to get this thing out into the great big world and officially started!

    HELP! Stepmother is NOT cooperating.

    Unfortunately, their father was a trucker so they were born in several different places; I believe in at least three states. They're not a part of my life and haven't been for several years. I think I'll include them but put N/A on the parts she won't give to me; I'd feel more comfortable...

    HELP! Stepmother is NOT cooperating.

    I know their names, but I don't remember their dates of birth-- we're not really close. It also asks for their birth place, which I have never known. I wasn't planning to have them fill it out, just include the information requested about them. But if you're sure it won't affect the application...

    HELP! Stepmother is NOT cooperating.

    You're right, it's not on the general application form-- I was remembering incorrectly. However, it is on the additional family information form, and I don't see anything on that form indicating that it is optional. I have read in many places that this must be filled out regardless of whether...

    HELP! Stepmother is NOT cooperating.

    As part of the General Application form, and then on the Additional Family info form, it's required to include ALL siblings including step-siblings. I have asked for this information many times over the past several months, always to be met with silence. I finally got my stepmother to...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I'm sure someone will have the answer to another question I've got....While reviewing the checklists, there is this section for the sponsor: 18. Proof of Employment and/or Proof of Income, for the self-employed or those receiving interest on income earned. I have read in many places that...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Thanks everyone for your input! I feel better about tackling these questions now. We have considered inland, but as others said, it would take much longer. Also, we don't have enough money saved up right now to make it a feasible option. I am a recent university graduate building work...

    Police Certificate U.S.A.

    I have personally been having trouble getting my fingerprints done where I live (in NY), and most of the trouble stems from lacking that pesky ORI number. The number identifies the organization asking for the prints and the purpose of having them done. Since I don't have one, the police station...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I apologize if this has been asked before, but I don't unfortunately haven't found the answer yet and don't have enough time to read through every page. My husband and I are applying outland and have been filling out the forms. There are three questions in particular, though, that I'm not sure...
