Yes, I'm very aware of that situation as I'm one of the people that got through everything in about 10-11 months. All I'm saying is that we can't be sure of the timelines of people applying later and to not expect too much of CIC.

26 months according to CIC. In reality there is some variation, but don't expect that your application will be processed faster than their posted times - that will just lead to frustration.

IMM 5491-E is for outland applications. You want to use IMM 5443-E. See the appropriate forms for details.

Of course. My only objection to your statement is that they still schedule the interview. It's your own duty to be able to show proof of payment at that time.

Not as far as I know. He should be able to flagpole at any border crossing.

Are you sure about that? In my landing interview invitation they're asking me to bring the receipt of the RPRF. That suggests to me that they would have scheduled the interview regardless but just making sure that it's been paid before issuing CoPR.

That depends. If you apply outland you will need to do the medical exam upfront. Otherwise you should probably wait until it's requested as it expires after a year.

Then everything seems to be in order. Perhaps you should order your notes though to see if you've missed anything.

Jarry, did they provide an email address for you to reply to with completed documents? Every email I've received from them has had a line saying to not reply. Perhaps your email went into the void and they never received it. You should probably contact the call centre and you will probably have...

It says the same thing as the DM line, except the date is different. The DM was sent by email, but it still said they sent a letter. This time there hasn't been any email so I'm expecting a letter.

It didn't show up before today. I'm checking eCAS almost every day except weekends when I know there won't be any updates.

Yes, there's another line saying that they sent a letter on October 9th.

It doesn't matter which you validate first. Just make sure they're both validated.

Hello, The restoration fee is higher than the extension fee. So if you want to play it safe you can go ahead and apply to extend. I don't think it would hurt anything. You could possibly even withdraw that if you get the OWP before they start processing the extension. If you feel sure that...

Yes it's normal. Ecas is shit. They allow up to two weeks for these changes to show up. I've even had an address change reversed and I had to go change it again.

It means that you should order notes ASAP. You could have missed important information that could be holding up processing of, or in the worst case scenario cancel, your application.

Perhaps a notarized letter from his mother attesting that the information was falsified?

It's not only the processing time that matters. The level of service really isn't up to what people expect. For example, it wouldn't increase any workload to have the call centre agents be allowed to view case notes which could provide more information than is currently available. Also from the...

That's fine. They can't force you to change your signature. A signature is different from name in print.

Considering OP is in Belgium, wouldn't French suffice?
