    Thanks Diplomatru ;) you have always been so helpful on this and the main FSW 2014 forum!!! To answer your question, my boyfriend lives there...the things we do for love! ;D Careerwise it made more sense for me to move there versus him to the US. Seven years of long distance has been hard, so...

    Hi everyone, Well Xpresspost/USPS has surprised me! Tracker activated Thurs evening, got my passport and COPR just now, Sat afternoon. Question for other Americans or Seniors: My passport has no visa or stamp in it. Is this because Americans are exempt from needing visas, or did CPC screw...

    Wanted to give hope to those peeps waiting for XpressPost tracker to activate- My passport reached CPC on January 19th. My tracker activated last night (Feb 5th) on CanadaPost and the USPS site is showing tracking as well. Keep the faith, they are working at a glacial pace, but at least...

    hi JustRaf, My passport request was 1-12 like you. My passport got to CPC on 1-19 exactly, not after. Still waiting for XpressPost tracking to turn on. Grrr.

    CONGRATS! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) Thanks for letting us know, it gives the rest of us hope...CPC went from taking 7-8 days to mail them back after receipt, to 14 days, just over the last few weeks, so frustrating and hard to plan around. Mine got to CPC on Jan 19th...I need it back for a...

    I sent an email request for the same on December 24, 2014. They updated my address online on Jan 13th between 12-3 am (I just happened to be checking my online status). This of course, JUST was a few hours AFTER they had sent my Visa Request email (with the old/wrong address, of course)...

    Good morning all, I'm one of the many people happy that CPC Ottawa has woken up from their 2 month nap. I received PPR and will update the SS tonight (no Google Doc access here). Question: Can my stuff arrive before I land? I have to ship all of my items on January 31st (apt lease ends)...

    Although it depends on the individual insurance plan, I am guessing in general immigration medicals are NOT something covered by US health insurance in general? :P I was hoping my insurance would at least pay for the physical/checkup portion, even if they didn't pay for the xray/blood work.....

    Congrats on being a CFA charterholder :D I am trying to pass Level II so I admire anyone who has finished the arduous journey. Regarding the points, as you probably know, you only need 67. It's not as if having 74 points will make them "more likely" to approve you versus 69-they don't compare...

    sorry, dopedupguy, given the backlog, you are correct. Suggestion: can you reapply under another NOC/what is your job experience exactly?

    Unfortunately, I am inclined to agree that you will not fall within the cap :'( It's the second most popular category. I remember last year, for FSW 2013, they gave away the last 100 of the 300 spots within the span of a FEW DAYS, so I didn't get it. So I've been there, it stinks! Is there...

    Hi meow, To quote Diplomatru from Sept 23rd- It was established earlier that the figures in the CIC under "applications we will accept..." section stand for issued PERs. This conclusion is easily drawn from the fact that allocation of CAP and PER actually represent two sides of a coin. You...

    I emailed cio-sydney-search-enquiry@cic.gc.ca on August 22nd, regarding my status. They took exactly 6 weeks to get back to me. But by then they had already sent me my PER in the meantime ;D. Being that they have more agents now/are processing applications faster, perhaps the 6 week...
