So its all done! :) Am now officially PR (well, need to wait for the card to actually arrive ...) The Ottawa office (on Queen) is open on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month (like as posted earlier by someone else) for 'drop in'. Does not matter if its Outland/Inland. Security said other...

Would appreciate that! Thanks

OK good to know that! I haven't received the CoPR letter so I didn't know about the phone number ... the website provided a link to a webform to make an appointment but the link doesn't give that option. Yeah the long wait is long wait in general ... I am hoping my letter arrives soon!

I just received my CoPR after a looong wait. I had originally entered Canada as a visitor with my husband but my status has since expired a year ago (I'm visa exempt so no stamp in my passport). I'm still in Canada. I know I can go to the border to flagpole or take a flight and come back and...

Thanks ... understand ... I don't take it personally. I am getting legal advice outside of this forum ... just wandering if anybody had the same situation and what occurred in their circumstance. For what its worth, I have never missed a single payment but for various reasons it had to go...

Hello I am finalizing my application to sponsor my wife. She is currently with me on a visitor's visa but we want the application to be processed as an Outland application to expedite the processing time. Can someone tell me how I would specify/request that the application be processed as an...

My spouse is in Canada with me and we are preparing to send our sponsorship application shortly. Her status is a visitor and she is from a visa exempt country (France) and we are in Ottawa. The application is going to be outbound (to try to speed up the processing). Her 6 month status will...

Thanks for that info. If they keep the file in Canada I hope it doesn't mean the timelines are like the inland times!! Or do you think it goes to a different 'desk' and not the inland section?

Hello If doing an outbound application, how do you specify that its outbound vs inland? I read some postings that said that its based on the document set you filled out from the CIC website but just wanted to make sure. Also, my partner was a national living in another country working. She's...

Hello Under the pilot for OWP for inland applications, my partner can get her OWP within 4 months. Does anyone know what that means in terms of getting OHIP coverage? She wants to start her own business and once we get the business registered is that sufficient proof to get OHIP coverage...
