APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[Crayon7]

ok, so turns out my application was sent to London and not Sydney. Not the best news as I sent everything in using the Australia guide and also London has been very slow recently.

Also, SA was approved on May 20th.

So they have done to you same what for me. Are you gonna send email and ask them if you need to update forms or just wait and see?

Well, I just got my notes today (ordered them roughly a month ago. I forgot about it to be honest).

There are a couple interesting things. I sent my RPRF while the application was still in CPC-M. On my notes there's a spot under requests that shows and RPRF request and "cancelled" next to the status. Both of my husband's calls to the call center showed up and on the second one the person noted that my RPRF had already been provided.

My criminality, eligibility, and security were all passed in the same day and said "not started" only three days prior. My RCMP screening took only one day to pass after they sent the request.

Notes: "**OFFICER REVIEW** FC1 CSQ required: No Foss check: Allowed to leave- PA could not demonstrate sufficient ties to the US. Relationship/Elegibility Assessment. I am satisfied with previous analysis on Identity, Relationship and Eligibility; documents have been verified and on file...."

"REVIEW TYPE: Case Analyst RECOMMENDATION: Waiting For Action Items APPLICATION: [...] I hvae analyzed this application based upon the documents submitted by the applicant and the information contained in the file I make the following recommendation. [...] No concerns based on CPC-M eligibility decision. [...] Development of Relationship: PA and sponsor met online in June 2013. They met in person in May 2015. Sponsor proposed in August 2015. In person, they dated for about seven months before getting married in November 2015. - Proof of relationship: travel tickets. Wedding photos. Outings photos. Wedding script. Outings tickets. Wedding cards. Skype screenshots. Google hangouts. Phone logs. - Relationship appears to be genuine."

They did make a mistake: "According to IMM0008, PA currently resides in Canada on a visitor record valid until: 2016/05/18. No record in GCMS." I never stated I was on a visitor record, I said I was here as a visitor. I guess that's not really that important, since it's obvious I'm here legally and with status, albeit implied.

I'll be flagpoling at Point Roberts/Boundary Bay tomorrow (I've heard of several people who have successfully landed there within the past few weeks). I'm anxiously excited.

Congrats!

I like the "not started 3 days before" bit the most.. Gives me hope as all my wife's assessments were still not started on last notes

Just going to wait i guess. Looks like it'll be a while though. Noone since October has got DM since October.

My notes definitely seem to imply that the CIC is capable of processing eligibility/criminality/security within only a few days, providing that there isn't anything that causes a delay. Also, they started the criminality portion before eligibility.

Something else I found interesting is that the voluntary withdrawal (referenced as "Allowed to Leave" in my notes) was in fact recorded in FOSS, even though the CBSA officer who gave it to me said there would be no record. I figured she was either lying to me or misinformed (more likely lying, because she said that it was only to satisfy her supervisor that she let me go). That whole ordeal wasn't even typical of the CBSA. She could have just given me a 3-day visitor record, but instead she seized my passport, told me to come back in three days, and handed me a voluntary withdrawal as I was leaving.

That mistake on my GCMS notes regarding my visitor status still bugs me, but I doubt it'll cause any issues for me when I'm landing. Should I bring a copy of my visitor extension fee receipt when I land? I'm on implied status and they haven't started processing my request yet, so I'm worried that the CBSA officer will think I'm out of status. I know they can't give me too much of a hassle since I have my COPR and will be landing, but it makes me uneasy.

I'm sure all my worries are for nothing and tomorrow will go smoothly, but I'm a worrier.

I'm also concerned that the Canada Post strike/lockout will end up delaying my PR card.

So long as youre legally there youre fine. Cbsa have different names for things. The visitor record i was on before was another name for a visitor visa because they gave me a piece of paper in my passport instead of nothing. When i asked they said it was essentially the same thing.

Everything is recorded in this digital age. Even how many times people phone cic.

Good luck on your landing tomorrow! I'm sure it'll go fine.

It's hard to tell the processing time for things these days. People has been saying it takes 30 days GCMS notes to deliver but it only took mine 18 days. Others saying HKVO is slow but seems it's much more speedy as one could think. As long as you're landed, you can get your DL and SIN, these should be good enough for you to start on a lot of things there.

Please make sure to tell us more about your landing experience later.

Congrats!

Actually, in BC I can only get a paper interim license with only COPR. They specifically require the PR card (proof of legal status in Canada and they don't accept the COPR). Although from what I heard it can vary depending on the person working there. That's why I'm a little anxious about the Canada Post strike and getting my PR card in time. I should be able to get the SIN number without any issues after getting my COPR though, which will be nice.

I'll be sure to post my landing/flagpoling experience on here tomorrow. I don't think I will be able to get much sleep tonight, hah. I'm still awake and I'll be landing in approximately 12 hours.
