I received my COPR today, so my wait is over. Good luck to everyone else still waiting.

My application was approved on December 1st and the COPR hasn't arrived yet, but I have already received the email confirming my approval and that the COPR has been sent out. Will I have a problem traveling to the US and crossing back into Canada even if I print a copy of this email and show it...

You can go to Canada as a visitor. It will not affect your PR application or visa.

No. If you are from a visa exempt country, they might request another copy of your bios page in your passport and more passport photos. But usually they do not even do that. Usually they'll just send out the COPR. I was approved recently and after 4 days they sent me an email stating that the...

Yesterday, I received an email confirming my approval and stating that my COPR has been sent. That means it took 4 days from approval for correspondence to be sent out and for the COPR to be printed. Though that's a bit slow, I have received timely correspondence from CIC during this whole...

Assuming the "Decision Made" on eCAS means it's been sent, printing took 1-2 days. I'm living in Toronto so I'll probably get it very soon. According to where you live it should take as long as a normal letter would take, I believe. Yes, everyone has a unique UCI number; both the sponsor and...

Just letting everyone know, today my eCAS changed to Decision Made, which I've heard means they've sent out the COPR. Hopefully, I'll receive it soon! Good luck, everyone!

The Japanese police certificate comes in both Japanese and English. You may open it as well, in fact, I recommend you do and scan a copy for yourself. I did this; I have already been approved for PR. EDIT for clarity: It's only the Japanese consulate that will say not to unseal the envelope...

I'm sorry to hear this. As another has said above, you needed to amend your application to include your spouse when your application was being processed. Notifying CIC by email was not enough. Because of this, you may need to renounce your PR and file your own application for PR again; this time...

Oh. :( I'm sorry you're not seeing any progress.

Inspired by daphnemaria, I went to check my MyCIC as well. I was also approved and my application is closed! So exciting! Already planning a trip down to the States to pick up my things from my dad's house and then land. Good luck to everyone still waiting! I'm sure you'll be getting your...

You haven't even gotten SA yet? It's far over your processing time for that, you should give CIC a call. Maybe they have the wrong email address or forgot to send you one. Good luck to you, I hope you see some progress soon.

That's wonderful! Congratulations!! When did your background check start? Will your partner be coming to Canada as soon as possible? Or will you be waiting a bit longer?

You won't need the AOR email for anything. As you said, it's a courtesy to acknowledge your application has been received. Now with mail tracking and application linking online, they are almost obsolete, in my opinion. They do provide the application number and sponsor's UCI though, so some...

There's a good chance that things will be slowing down now that it's December. Especially at the VOs located in countries that acknowledge Christmas as a national holiday (such as Ottawa). The VOs may also be reaching their quotas for the year too. Hopefully, we can all get through before year's...

Congratulations on receiving your SA! AOR1 is received before SA and is simply an acknowledgement that your application was received and opened by CIC. Everyone should receive one (some people do not due to oversight, incorrect email, or other factors). It's not a request for more information...

You could probably get an official statement of address from your town hall if both of you have registered the same address (which is a requirement in Japan for residential taxes. If you haven't done this, you should anyway.) In fact, they probably sent those residential taxes out around June...

You shouldn't worry, as long as you are not currently on welfare you will probably be approved as a sponsor (assuming you meet the other requirements). CIC might ask for proof of funds or family support to show you can provide for your spouse and not use welfare when she comes, but I really...

CIC probably only hires people that are unhappily married as the officers so that they've become cynical and unbelieving in love. XD

OP has an 11 year old child. Working one job that may not pay very much while paying for school supplies, food, utilities and rent can be very difficult. Welfare is for people that need support whether or not they are working and OP seems to need help. If her husband abandoned her and is not...
