Thanks for giving your detailed experiences! You make it sound almost pleasant :) We will be doing exactly the same in a few weeks

Ok, thanks. I'll probably just go to Niagara Falls then to get it all done quickly...

Hi, Short question that only needs a yes/no answer: does the CoPR serve as a valid document of temporary status that can bridge the period between original temporary status (e.g. visitor status) and finalization of the PR? (I am from a visa-exempt country and reside in Canada with visitor...

Actually, I got the invitation to send the copy of my passport on July 11th, exactly on the 15-month mark, which I understand is essentially the approval of the PR. This was different from the info I got from the MP who seemed to suggest that it would easily take another 3 months. In the...

I finished my project at the university of Montreal around the end of 2017. After, I started a job for a Belgian company. I am allowed to work in Canada because of the type of job it is (European Union regulation of medical diagnostic devices), which is completely unrelated to my being here and...

Yes, I have a visitor document, similar to the work permit (strictly speaking not a visa, I think). These reviews are really messing up processing times...

If they would request another medical exam, that would be the final straw and I would turn my back on Canada. I will be applying for my fourth (!) visitor document in August after four work permits. I'm fed up with IRCC and their lack of transparency and accountability. Do you know in your case...

I really don't think it's a coincidence in my case, but unfortunately, we'll never know. In my case, it's a (Belgian) police certificate (it's a document with three words that matter: "judiciaire casier néant"). On June 26 2018, some idiot thought it was necessary for this certificate to be...

April 2018 here. Contacting the MP has started moving things forward. Expected time of approval: September 2019

You can find your MP on the following website (put in your postal code): https://www.ourcommons.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members However, I would warn against contacting them now. They may ignore your case (and keep ignoring it in the future) because it barely passed the deadline. Give it another...

Did you visit the MP's office and fill out a standard form? If yes, I would contact them again and point out you are now in month 11, approaching one year. Unfortunately, about those deadlines in the GCMS notes, my experience is that they don't really follow up on those. "Accountability" is my...

My CEC application has been going on for over 14 months now. Based on advice on this forum, I contacted my local MP and somehow, magically, "criminality" passed within a week after visiting the MP's office (I take it they mean their own criminality of ignoring the case). It will still take 3...

I promise this is my last message. This is the response from the MP's office: "Hope you are well. After following up with IRCC, this is the information they provided: -criminality passed on June 12th, 2019 -application awaiting review by an officer -backgrounds are done, eligibility is passed...

Hi k.h.p., as a quick follow-up, I have visited the MP's office today and they will send a request to IRCC. Fingers crossed something informative will come out of it. Thanks again!

I am not worried of not getting the PR. It simply should not take an additional 12 months to review one police certificate

Just sent the mail now. You have been very helpful!

Ok, I found his name (Michael Levitt) and will contact him

The only 2019 deadline date was indeed on security (deadline was in April, I sent a screenshot of that in my last webform request). I am following your advice on contacting somebody to start an inquiry. I just posted a Facebook post on a "Belgians in Toronto" group, hoping to get a contact from...

Thanks! Just in case you want to check out the individual processing times: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application (not sure that this is truly representative) Good luck!

I sent requests about my status four times now, with one where I submitted an officially translated English version of the police certificate. Their response has always been a generic one. On Monday, I am calling them. If you don't feel like responding anymore, I'd understand. Most of the time...
