    AUGUST 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hey guys, I'm a bit embarrassed to share this update, but if it happened to me it could happen to others: received DM on Feb 7th and have been waiting for my PPR. Saw that others got their emails last night so I decided to call CIC today - as I was about to punch in my application number, I...

    Received my DM on ECAS on Feb 7th and still haven't received an email or update to MyCIC... grounds to worry/call? My current work permit here expires in just three weeks. :o :-[

    AUGUST 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    App receive Aug 19th, medical passed and background check in progress as of Dec 22 and there was also a request for additional docs (proof of ongoing cohabitation and a resubmitted sponsor declaration from my partner) that same day which I submitted on Dec 23rd. No movement since, though I did...

    I simultaneously feel so happy for everyone getting it, and so anxious about my own that I want to hurl. ;D Seriously, congrats to all! Hopefully next week brings the rest of us some good news. :)

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Yeah, that sounds right. In my case, we were together for 5 years but living together for just over a year when we applied, so it's understandable that they wanted to follow-up specifically on the cohabitation (I wasn't asked for more evidence of our relationship - just the housing piece)...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Hey there! I received the same exact request, also having originally provided a lease, letters from family and friends, joint renters insurance - and also no joint banking (I did send evidence of money transfers, explained how we do our financial splitting, etc). When prompted for more info (I...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    That was my thought too, but looking at it from their perspective - my partner and I reached the 1 year minimum requirement right before we applied, so it makes sense that they'd like to do some follow up. We've been together for five years and I think put forward a strong case for our...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Yeah, I definitely panicked when I got the request, but hopefully, it's pretty standard. One possibility that crossed my mind is that now that Condition 51 will be lifted (right?!) they're just looking to be extra cautious for common-law applicants. They were asking for ongoing evidence of...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Just wanted to give my update on this - I heard back on Dec 24th, asking for additional documents (specifically, ongoing evidence of cohabitation with my common-law partner, and refilling the sponsor questionnaire). We submitted this a day later and haven't heard back. The request for additional...

    Background check in progress, CIC asked for more proof of cohabitation - help!

    Common law. We've lived together since July 2015, July - Nov 2015 in a crappy apartment with no real paperwork (proof I provided was listing each other on important documents, mail to same address, affidavits from friends/fam). I have a lease and joint insurance from Nov 2015, and now (since I...

    Background check in progress, CIC asked for more proof of cohabitation - help!

    Wait, disregard the last question - I just realized that they're asking for the sponsor questionnaire and not the proof of relationship one. I've read this letter 10x in the last hour and only now realized that...

    Background check in progress, CIC asked for more proof of cohabitation - help!

    Feels like I'm in the final stretch so I just want to make sure I don't screw anything up at this point. Background check changed to in progress, so it seems like they're moving forward on my file? They asked for the following: Client Information: Receipt of information from client Please...

    :o Thanks for the quick response. I did get sponsorship approval on September 16th, and nothing has moved at all since then. Will give them a call tomorrow, so nervous...

    Any August Ottawa folks get updates lately? I'm still in process for review of eligibility, background check says not started.... starting to panic but not sure if it's justified!

    AUGUST 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    It now says "In Process" on the application side, this was updated sometime today. There are now two line items when I click for detailed updates: 1 line says app received on Aug 19th (it's said this for a while), and it now says "we started processing Sep 30". No updates in MyCIC really, it...

    AUGUST 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Just an update, not sure if this means anything significant - my ECAS now shows that they started processing my application on September 30th. Assuming this just means it was received by Ottawa, still good to see regular updates!
