*** hears a letter land on the doormat, pushes the almost empty chinese take-away containers under the sofa, and stumbles to the door as a result of enjoying too much of the Chilean Merlot *** At last! A request for passport!!! ;D :o ;D :o ;D Came with a note stating that the request was...

ok, thanks, I now understand. It's 300 miles to the border, so it's do-able, or there is CIC Vegreville. My wife, who is Canadian, has lived out of Canada for more than five years, so it appears that she can return with any belongings duty-free. thanks pinklady!

Thanks once again Pinklady! And thanks for all you do here. When you say "land at different offices" do you mean flying into Canada as a vistor in place A, then some time later exit Canada, re-enter and 'land' as a PR in place B?

Still waiting here. But we have got thinking that we may just need to get ourselves over to Canada, things are getting unsettled for the kids. Can anyone point me to the part of the CIC website that talks about entering as a Visitor, sending your passport back to the UK and the procedure...

sorry, no good news to report here, will definitely post when I have some. What worries me is that ecas states that a decision has been made ... since the 26th August, and they only started processing on the 25th August. If there has been a failed attempt at contacting us the 60 days before the...

Thanks pinklady, we were worried about contacting them as we had seen elsewhere that doing so can actually delay the process. But a little while ago we did via the web-form, but have not had a response or even a confirmation of the enquiry. What seems odd is the according to Ecas it took less...

I with you mittens and chrischris. My application went in a few days before you chrischris and Ecas has been showing 'decision made' since 26th August! That is now seven weeks ago (I'm not counting ;D) How hard is it to email me or send a letter? When we applied for proof of Canadian...

Congratulations Eswiz and MDSB!! ;D ;D Just out of interest did you get notification via email or post? And had you said they could contact you via email?

Hi Louise86, We were similar, we didn't have those things either, nor were we going over to study. We provided an outline of our plans, the reasons why we were moving over to Canada and also copies of letters, emails, and Facebook printouts showing that our family and friends knew about our...

Hi pinkLady, thanks for adding me to the spreadsheet, I hope you know something I don't - I'm still waiting to hear from London. Like the others scared I've missed something in the spam folder! :o All I know is that they have made a decision, just waiting to hear what it is. Can't be too long...

Hi, it's now been over three weeks since my status was change on ecas (26th August), saying that London has made a decision on my PR. But still no letter. I have heard it said not to contact London about this, as it will slow things down even further. Is this right? The suspense is killing me!

Thanks for the reply Pinklady. Last year we applied for my eldest daughter's proof of Canadian Citizenship and London sat of a confirmation letter from Mississauga for three months. Hope it's not that long! I know there has been a bank holiday this end, and also Labour Day too, so maybe I...

Hi, I've been lurking around here for a while, the forum has been a great help to keep sane during the application process. How long does it take for London to send you a letter informing of the decision once Ecas has been updated? We applied back in May (my wife completed the application and...

I'm also in England. I'm about to make appointment for a medical. The form says to bring 5 photos taken in the past six months. Can anyone advise please what kind of photos? (Snapshots, passport, etc. ) Thanks

hello everyone, I have a couple of questions that I could do with your help with. I am British, and married my (Canadian) wife over three years ago in the UK. She was living over here and had been for several years. We have a two year old daughter, born in the UK, and have another baby on the...
