APRIL 2014 OUTLAND APPLICANTS

[rhcohen2014]

stamps in each other's passports for trips you went to see each other. yes, for sure travel tickets and more pictures, preferably with other people present.

We didn't send any photos of us with any other people except two pics of the wedding day with our two witnesses. I would send in chat logs, emails, internet communication and travel ticket copies if you can. If you don't have the original airline tickets from visits, you can print out your email confirmation flight itinerary instead. So far, we haven't gotten asked to provide more proof of relationship, so I don't think the photo with other people thing is that important.

Those photographs with other people are indeed necessary. to let them understand how wedding was happen. if you haven't submitted enough photograps of wedding then I am afraid you have higher chance of getting an interview. hope not though.

Not everyone has a big wedding with tons of photos. What's important is that you provide enough supplemental information if you don't have many wedding pics. We had 4 wedding pics of our civil ceremony with two witnesses, so we provided hundreds of pages of skype chats, emails, facetime, beneficiary agreements, financial information, letters, vacation photos, phone bills, shared insurance info, etc to make up for not having wedding pictures.

UPDATE: DECISION MADE!!!!!! My status in ECAS went from "In Process" to "Decision Made" tonight.

I have had zero contact with CIC since my SA..... no request emails, no post mail, no phone calls.... I hope this is a good thing?

No this is not true, well of course it depends on what visa office your applying to

For me, I only submitted 2 pictures of my wedding, everything else was of trips out together, pictures with family and evidence of living together etc

And I have decision made, just waiting for my copr to come in the mail

Its not the quantity of wedding pictures you submit that counts but the quality of all the evidence you submit, you need to show them that you have a genuine relationship and you have made a commitment to each other

I have Decision made and received no communication from CIC (except RPRF request)

I'm pretty sure its a good thing, if they needed anything more from you they would have asked

Congrats

My wife and I got our COPR yesterday... I can not believe how fast that was!

According to ECAS they started reviewing our application on July 24 and COPR was received just 6 days later.

Good luck everyone, I wish all of you the same speedy and successful results.

110 days from application received in Missassauga.

Time to start planning the landing.

Congrats!

I was not even checking ECAS regularly because I figured any news was still months off and then my wife checks the mail and there is the COPR. They are really getting these applications done.

I hope you get your COPR before the weekend so you don't have to wait all weekend for it.

 

[JessNess]

Congrats to you too! I was freaked out because I never got a passport request but I guess the COPR is in the mail

 

[EricandLinda]

I'm glad you guys have gotten your decision made so soon after the "in progress"

We are still in progress since July 18th! :/

 

[JessNess]

Got my COPR in the mail today via Canada Post… it came in a brown government envelope Going to land tomorrow

I am cheering for everyone in April to get theirs too ASAP!
