Thanks do you know how I would know if the airlines will accept the uk emergency travel document for the return to Canada? It was issued as a return but now I’m questioning whether the airlines accept this as a replacement for a passport as we never asked about boarding the plane only about...

So his emergency travel document is for return travel so he should be able to board the airplane. I was concerned with the conditions of the PR card whether you need a valid passport in order for the pr card to be valid?

My husband has valid PR status but an expired passport. He’s traveling back to the UK for a family emergency and got an emergency travel document to do so however I’m worried about his reentry into Canada. Will he be allowed reentry with an expired passport? Will his emergency travel document be...

I just got an email as the sponsor saying I have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Is this SA? If not how long does it take from this point until SA? My husband (applicant) also got a message saying he met eligibility requirements to apply for PR. Is this considered AIP? If...

Oh ours started way back at the beginning maybe a month after applying! Strange that it wasn't finished by now. I my husband is a "normal" person with no odd or sinister past haha

Ok it's good to know I'm not the only one. When I was reading post after post about SA and people getting their PR already on here I was getting worried. Hopefully we just have a slow agent and not that there's anything wrong. The only status messages along the bottom I see is that they are...

Any November applicants still waiting for SA and AIP? I applied November 7th. Still stuck on last update which was "Medical Passed" on September 14th :(

YES! I see on the spreadsheet there are two people that received the medical requests....oh this is a good sign. It's the first progress I've seen on the October thread so hopefully they're making their way to us Nov. applicants soon.

haha you may be right! Seems to be very unclear and at times random information/rules. Maybe it just comes down to the teller; I've read many people on here who shop around or go into banks on different days until they find a nice/naive teller like we did who just does it.

No updates :( I too have been tracking the spreadsheet and still looks like they're trying to complete August applicants with only a handful of updates from Sept/Oct and none from Nov. I think we're in a tricky spot because I believe the next stage for us November applicants are medicals and...

Let me just be clear, I was referring to adding your spouses name to an already existing account making it a joint account NOT opening a new joint account. According to the bank manager at RBC, simply adding your spouses name to an account you already have is just that, adding their name, no ID...

For most of us on this forum we have had great difficulty opening accounts on visitor's status; especially if you are from a visa exempt country where you will have no immigration document proving your status. When my husband first arrived here from the UK he could not open a bank account. We...

Technically you can't open a Canadian bank account without residency (PR card, etc). However, not every teller in every bank is aware of this so that's why some people have been able to open an account by lucking out. A few members on here have gone to different banks or different tellers to see...

Says on the IRCC website: "We’re prioritizing applications from Canadians returning to Canada vulnerable people people who perform or support essential services" So for the most of us I guess this means MORE and LONGER delays in processing our apps. So sad.

I just found that there are a few AIPs from the September 2019 Inland spreadsheet that happened in June and a couple of SA that happened in June. Also found a couple of DM (decisions made) from the August 2019 Inland spreadsheet that came in June. So perhaps there is some movement now! First new...

I second the fact that even the IRCC call centre agents themselves give out inaccurate and false information A LOT!!!! They are only trained to read and interpret the information on your file and general knowledge of the application process. They are basically customer service agents NOT...

Got my GCMS notes today and there is absolutely ZERO new entries since my last notes in April/May so not sure if everyone's application has been delayed or just mine but clearly they haven't been working on mine for a few months. I read on the IRCC website that they are prioritizing immigration...

Sounds fine. I know they like to see photos where the both of you are with close friends/family because it adds to the evidence that you are in a genuine relationship because others are aware of it and have met your spouse. So I don't think you need more photos of the two of you alone. Make sure...

Agree with above posters and from personal experience that IRCC will NOT speed up your application because you are pregnant. You need to inform them but they will NOT expedite your case. The only thing that being pregnant does (with your husband's baby) or having children does is add evidence...

I would get a couple of co-workers, friends, members of the community, etc. to write letters speaking about how they know both of you, when they met or saw the two of you together, etc, the more specific the better; for example: "I remember dropping X off at home after a work function in the...
