Never mind. It arrived in the mail today. Go figure.

So I received my notice to take the citizenship test in July by email but was unable to make it the day of due to my child being ill and having no back up childcare. I emailed them the morning of the test to notify them per the letter. I went to check on ECAS today and it says another test has...

Thanks for the responses. Wow! That's crazy quick. The call centre agent I just spoke to wouldn't even open my file, saying that since it hasn't been 17 months yet, she can't tell me anything. Said that Decision Made doesn't mean anything and that it could be a result of being moved to the...

Hello, I'm sponsoring my wife from US. Received SA on May 16 saying that the application was being sent to Ottawa. Today, Sponsorship Application Status says In Progress, but Permanent Residence Application Status says Decision Made. Under Permanent Residence Application Status, it lists: We...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone had any recent experience with renewing their WP at the border recently? We just applied for family class outland sponsorship for my wife, but her NAFTA WP expires in May. We will be traveling to the US mid April and want to renew the WP at Pearson. If we...

scylla, In a strict definition sense, you are correct. However in the highlighted sentence above, you leave no room for discretionary decisions by border agents, which happen all the time. For example, when we last renewed my wife's work permit, the border agent actually told us, that they want...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm aware that an AOR doesn't give us special treatment when it comes to renewing a WP. I was just wondering about people's recent experience, if any, with this. I know it's all up to the specific agent we see, but I was wondering if anyone else had actually gone...

Thanks to you both. We'll include the certificate.

Hi, Can someone clear up some confusion here. The applicant is an American with an American passport. Do we need the applicant's birth certificate for an outland application? The guide http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3910e.pdf states: It's the confirming relationship part that's...

Thank you both so very much!

Hi, I tried the search, but couldn't find anything specific. I'm applying to sponsor my US born wife who is living with me in Canada. All of the supporting documents we are sending, including copies of our child's birth certificate, our marriage certificate, our passports, etc. are in English...

As I mentioned earlier, she's currently working here on a NAFTA Visa. If it expires before her PR comes through (as it likely will), do you think she will have issues renewing it at the border? We usually flagpole to get that Visa renewed. Will the immigration people tell her to just wait for...

Hi Everyone, Just to update, our baby is now almost two months old, and we are ready to proceed with an outland application. I'm just bumping this thread for any last minute advice. To summarize: I'm a naturalized (2001) Canadian Citizen Wife is a US born US Citizen, working in Canada on a...

Thank you all once again. Just so I'm clear about what "outland" means. I'm to follow the IMM 3910 guide, correct? Also, will my wife be allowed to travel to the U.S. while the application is pending?

Are people using lawyers, or going on their own in "straightforward cases"? Are there recommended practitioners for this task? Again, thanks for the help!

This is amazing. Thanks for all the replies! This includes the sponsor's (my) application approval time?

Hi Everyone, This is an excellent resource. So happy I found it. My wife and I have been married for two years, living in a house we bought together in Canada. She is a U.S. citizen, living and studying in Canada since 1999, she graduated from two Canadian Universities and has a Masters...

Thanks, but don't the sponsor's (my) applications take quite a long time? We are ideally looking at which application path would be fastest overall. Thanks again.
