Don't get disheartened, they can't or rather won't do anything until you clear the background check. Pointless racing you through the other stages (which are all internal and can be done in hours rather than days, note others that got SA, AIP and DM in the space of a couple of weeks) to then...

I've never trusted ECAS, I just checked it, and of course it is showing application received.

Well going on 758IG's post, who has exactly the same AOR dates as me and also the security check started but nothing else.....it might be a happy christmas in my house :) (still crossing those fingers toes and eyes..and what the hell..testicles)

My PR application is linked to MyCIC account, I get an email whenever there is a change in status on my account. When I looked what the change was, (expecting it to be Sponsor checking or something) It was Security - Started. I'm not going to jinx myself by suggesting I'm one of the 34K, but...

They started the background check on me on 29th July, I would have thought that's one of the last stages? I've not had SA or AIP yet!

2 months processing for inland?.....in your dreams...try 2 years!! IT takes 5 months just to get the work permit! And if you want the same rights that means you are happy to no longer have the right of appeal? If an inland application is refused for any reason, misunderstanding or...

stream-lined applications are being "farmed out" now to different offices to cut processing times, it could also be the speed of the processing office (traditionally Ottawa has been the fastest). That is the office I hope processes mine. Mississauga started with files on every VO's desk, the...

And of course, if the new processing times keep up....you COULD have a successful answer on that outland app if from a speedy embassy BEFORE that 2 year owp expires...talk about having your cake and eating it, outland processing times, plus appeals, with inland perks. This question puzzled me...

Thanks, I thought IEC didn't benefit from Implied status (thus you have without meaning to been working illegally for those 4 months)? Not trying to put the wind up you, someone on another forum asked that very question and was directed to the page at CIC. I at no point claim to be an...

I've read your thread bud, If me and the wife had a few bucks I would help you out, as others have said your application is going to be fraught with difficulties, if you search my name there is an old post, I have a good buddy that has a good business, his wife was Chinese and overstayed a visa...

i actually never said I had been in Canada since 2012, but if you are interested.... Nope, we got caught in the "low skilled putting Canadians out of work" backlash in 2014, my LMO was renewed (as not low skilled) for another 2 years...then revoked (we found out at the border, what great fun...

You are incorrect, my ex-spouse and I arrived at Port of entry in 2012, no one had any idea she was with me, I had the LMO (as it was then) I was issued with a 2 year employer-specific work permit, my spouse was issued with a 2 year open work permit purely on virtue of being married to me, and...

Letter reproduced below: Dear Sir, I am currently the spouse of a Canadian Citizen and am currently in the process of applying for spousal sponsorship inland for permanent residency status. We applied on the 1st of June of this year and as of today's date our application has not even been...

I think all us inlanders hope for that bit of paper (OWP)...that leads to work/driving licence/health card, actually starting a life here...and not sitting around day after day annoying people on this forum! I actually have written to the immigration minister directly (hope it doesn't come...

hi bud, fellow UK here, hate to say it, but get your ass out of the country pronto, if you get a removal order that will cause no end of smelly stuff later down the line regarding PR, as it is you have an overstay, and ignorance is not a defence. the advice you are getting here is solid and can...

If I may, Did you have the divorce judgement, but just hadn't got the cert of divorce but got married in the philippines more than 31 days after the judgment was issued and neither party had objected?....then the wedding IS valid and you are free to marry at that time. Your cert of divorce...

My thoughts also, not the logical tack for a friend to take

reading this thread, I doubt the friend tag you have gave yourself, you may well find your "friends" view you the same way, I wouldn't be surprised if they had PR already/well into the process but told you not one thing about it (in case you dropped a dime out of "concern"). If he sold his home...

I actually also wonder if our applications are being "farmed out" to different offices, and this affects times as well...any old members got input?

I may be talking through my backside (have been known to do so in the past) but looking at the spreadsheet is it possible they are doing a certain month at a time based on application dates in batches, after identifying they are straightforward? Instead of the old way of working on one...
