We've just heard back from London visa office and they are going to extend our medical/COPR. Phew.

This isn't news or advice. Its exactly what I meant when I wrote 'Worst case scenario we have to book a ticket last minute to Canada to activate the COPR before it expires'. Thanks for restating the same point using 200 more words. A return ticket at this time of year is about £1k not to...

We have negotiated as much as we can with our employers unfortunately. In the final weeks there is a chance they will just let us go earlier than planned but we can't bank on that and had to book flights according to what was arranged at the outset. Worst case scenario we have to book a ticket...

Hello Its been a while since I have updated my situation in the spreadsheet as we've been in limbo. We went to DM April 22nd and received the COPR mid May. Unfortunately the COPR was not extended past July 3 (when the medical expired). So giving us 2.5 months to move. While I had notified CIC...

Great news brucem! Yeah Ottawa is moving fast now.

correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they are working on the PR Application. Its only confirming it's received, not in process (like the SA).

This actually makes no sense to me if you applied outland and haven't moved to Canada since applying. Maybe senior member can chime in but I don't see how CIC can request a North American mailing address. Given how many errors the agent made previously with your file I feel like you need to go...

Hello I checked ECAS this morning and I've gone to Decision Made. Relief! I checked it last night and it was sitting in Application Received status still so just went right to DM. For anyone in the same time frame: Application Received July 14, 2014 Sponsor Approval August 28, 2014 Additional...

Hello! Nope still in Application Received and others who had additional request in Dec/Jan are in the same boat. However there has been movement in Ottawa now in respect to people getting Decision Made, which wasn't happening for a long time. Ottawa was overloaded with the temporary foreign...

One last note. I would call ahead to wherever you are thinking of going and asking if they are considered 'Commissioner of Oaths'. I think the actual definition of one varies between Canada and the UK so hard to say which you should adhere to. Unfortunately I would say a solicitor etc is the...

Hi. We had this request and its pretty standard. You don't need to provide evidence as the form as its not requested and should have been a part of your file in the first place which I imagine it was. The form is functioning as an official legal declaration. Of the boxes you need to tick, CIC...

YES!

Yep. The average for Ottawa will jump well over 6.5 once we get some movement again. Very similar to the London office its almost completely stopped issuing DM's since late December/first week of Jan. A bunch of us are over 9 months now.

I meant for the sake of this discussion we are assuming we are submitting this evidence in the correct fashion. I think everyone is on the same page in regards to how/what/can be submitted here. Don't sweat it (yet) blink, until we see if brucem's proof really is rejected and it may well be a...

Of course. If your proof hinges on a specific/extended timeline you'll obviously put yourself it a bad position. We're assuming submitting as much as you can and moving with immediate effect here. If that was the reason behind that couple being denied, I am surprised CIC isn't more specific in...

Ah. Rats. My hopeful theory was wrong. A job offer is great! There is no way we'd secure job offers without a landing date so I have no idea what CIC expects or if they understand how most firms hire. Not many firms in our industry (banks or oil companies) will offer jobs with open ended start...

We aren't married so fully expected to have to prove our relationship is genuine. But from reading the boards, if you put together a comprehensive package with things like tenancy agreements, child birth certificates, joint bank accounts, photos/holidays there in fact did seem to be a reasonable...

That is crazy (and I'm clearly worried now because we submitted basically the same). Do you think there is any chance that was the last status/note left in your file before requesting more documentation in January and it was misinterpreted as the current status (even after you've already sent it...

I just read that someone on the July 2014 OUTLAND thread who was being processed in Ottawa got a DM today. I am not sure they are on the spreadsheet. Small joy.
