All AORs received in April 2015, lets connect here and share updates & timelines

Oh I see, but when he publishes the articles whose name does he use? Yours or his? Trying to figure out which further evidence you could provide since you've already provided T4, pay stubs and tax docs. If the articles were published in your name you could send copies to CIC.

That's what I am gonna do.
I am just surprised that the officer called me personally, not the employer to substantiate work experience. But who knows, maybe it is even better.

Got PPR.

My timeline:
Category - FSWP In
April 9 - Submitted
April 11 - AOR
June 3 - Medicals Passed, BG Check In Progress
August 14 - ECAS in Process
August 31 - Ghost email from MyCIC
September 1 - ECAS Decision Made
September 14 - PPR

Never asked for additional documents, RPRF paid upfront - still it took them 5 months 1 week. I wonder what the processing time would be if they asked for additional documents and RPRF was not paid... 8 months? 10 months?

This might be a silly question but in schedule A form in mother's name,,,they ask last name at birth,,,,do people generally by default give mother's surname after marriage or actual surname at birth,,,,,if I write my mom's surname at birth,,,,it won't match my passport.

Just logged into My CIC account and got an updated on my PR application but have not received any email or anything.

My ECAS is still showing as In Process.

Is this the ghost notification that people are talking about?

If so how long does it normally take for PR to be approved after that?

Got PPR today!

Haha, we two are definitely in the hand of the same VO. I got ppr too yesterday. But to my disappointment, the ppr is from Ottawa instead of local visa office. What about you? Any idea how long it's gonna take for them to send us the second ppr and what can we do to expediate the process?

I got a PPR yesterday - 14 September.
But at the end of August I get married, so CIC wrote a second mail to me yesterday, to disregard their mail and do not send a passport until they didn't check my spouse etc. I got a Spouse (marriage) questionnaire to fill out.

That's a standard procedure. Don't worry. When they finish checking up your spouse's files, they will send you a new ppr letter. BTW, When did you inform CIC of the change?

Guys I need help my application got reopen and I need to pay my processing fee.but I can't upload my receipt I only have 6 days remaining

 

[hrc7777]

All,,,this is urgent,,,I'm supposed to submit schedule A today and I can't seem to create an uneditable copy where space appears white and not blue. I'm able to update pdf and I don't want it. Only when it is uneditable, the space for fonts turns from blue to white and thats what I want.

Congratulations iamyyang! You are right about the same VO thing. Yeah, mine too was from Ottawa. I have replied to the same mail, asking them to change the Visa Office to my local one. I suppose there is no way to expedite the whole thing, it takes 2days to 2 weeks. We can only wait as we did for the PPR.

Hope the best for you. Proof of funds have me several sleepless nights. Last night I could sleep a bit better!! Phew!

No one can understand your anxiety better than I. Fortunately we got through all that and I was right about the positive decision, wasn't I? Haha, let's pray for an immediate arrival of the COPR together!
