65th Draw ITA recipients,Lets connect and share timelines

[k81p]

i just logged into the website. all seems to be working well. please note, they have added a new set of questions to the work history section of the primary applicant and so your form may show as incomplete even though you have filled in all your data. take a moment, fill up these questions. they dont affect your application and are purely for research purposes according to the website.

Hi all,

Do we need to submit affidavit for spouse name change (addition of husbands family name for eg. Pooja Mehra to Pooja Mehra sharma) after marriage even if passport has the same new changed name?

Guys,
I have updated my name after receiving ITA from my first and last names only to include my full 4 names, using update family information bottom. Should I explain this in a LOE or it's fine?

 

[chiragdadheech]

Friends,
Thank You for all the support till now.
I received ITA on 31.5.2017, I am planning to submit all documents in few days now. I dont have clear picture of things after submitting docs. Please help me in getting clear with below things:

1. What does eAPR means, does this means an acknowledgement after submitting all documents and paying fees?
2. After submitting all documents, what will happen? Do they approve all documents in one go on one fine day? or they will update one by one, like first medical approval, then proof of funds approval, then employment approval, then etc etc approvals.
3. If I submit all documents on 1st July 2017, and all approvals, etc goes smooth after that, By when I can get the request for PPR(AUG/SEP/OCT/NOV?). In what time people are getting these as per the current express entry processing times?
4. Once I get final decision, What is the step by step process and their timelines? like going to embassy, stamping, going to Canada, collecting PR from Canada, etc,
Thanks.

The process in not costly. only $25 for FBI fees payable to " department of US treasury". Add another $220 for postage and $20 for taking fingerprints. You should definitely go for the check IMHO

Hi Guys,

I got my ITA yesterday. I posted some questions as a new thread but maybe it'd be more helpful here.

1. I've spent an accumulative duration of more than 6 months in the US, according to the instructions on EE, I'll need to provide an FBI Identity History Summary Check. I was in the US on J-1 visa from 26 June 2010 - 23 November 2010, and on B1 (business) visa two times in 2013 and 2014, about 3 weeks each. I'm living in Perth, Australia now and looking into the process of applying for an FBI check. The process is costly (around 150 bucks) and takes extremely long. Anyone who has experienced getting this check? And I am right in assuming that I'll need one in my case? If the FBI check does not arrive in time (90 days), is there anything I can do?

2. I have an aunt who is a Canadian permanent resident. On the EE profile, I listed her. However, when I submit the application after I got the ITA, the question only asks for my immediate family (in the drop-down list, there's no selection for aunt/uncle). Yet, in the document checklist, I am asked to provide my aunt's proof of status (PR card). I think there is a missing link here. How do CIC know that's my aunt? Also, the document checklist asks for proof of family relationship (birth certificate), for this item I guess I'll be providing my birth certificate?

Thank you guys!

FBI background check takes usually 2-3 months. If you were in US, you could have got it within timeframe. But, since you are in Australia; it's highly unlikely that you will get it in 3 months. I would suggest that you request CIC for more time. Give them the proof that you applied for FBI check and this process usually takes 3 months. That's the only thing you can do............Ask for more time to submit the FBI report.........

You can check the website of Atio. They are registered and certified translators. I have some translation from them.

we used CMM Languages, Navi Mumbai. they were prompt and had their systems in place. no complaints. just hope IRCC recognises them and accepts their affidavit / certificate of translation. fingers crossed.

Thank you for answering my question. Does this mean that closer to the application deadline, I will submit my application without the FBI checks and provide proof that I will submit it later? That's what I intend to do. The FBI checks is basically all I need now for a complete application. I don't know if I should wait until 30 August (my deadline) and submit my application without the FBI checks or can I submit it earlier? Either way I will not have my FBI checks in time.

Hi Legalfalcon,

I have a query. I got my ITA in May and I am in the process of collecting and uploading documents. My passport expiry was in 2021, but it did not have my spouse details and my updated address. During the PCC process, the police officer at PSK advised me to get my existing passport updated to prevent visa rejection. I have my PCC now for my existing passport, but I applied for new passport with updated details and I will get my new passport in a weeks time. I am just a bit worried that because the new passport will have a different number from what I have in my PCC, my application could be rejected.
For now, I am thinking that I will add a letter of explanation along with my submissions explaining this. Or, i might have the PCC done again when i get the new passport delivered. This will be cumbersome and I might miss my deadline. A friend has suggested rejecting the ITA and making a new profile with the new passport number, and waiting for another ITA. Has anyone else faced this? Please let me know.

 

[thisworks]

Need your advice on this .. I did not claim points for my wife's work experience and educational qualifications for getting the ITA. Do I nonetheless need to put these in her work history and education history? Or should I put that in her personal history? I ask because I do not want to go through the pain of arranging the necessary docs!
