AUGUST 2013 OUTLAND (only) applications!! Here is your thread!!

[Step]

Thank you abscott and drewday! We are thrilled as well.

Got a question. My hubby will be visiting me for a few days sometime next week. Now that he has his COPR in hand when he visits, can he go to Service Ontario and start applying for his OHIP and SIN card even if he hasn't technically 'landed'? We actually plan for him to officially land in mid April. Just wanted to know if we could jump the gun with OHIP and SIN?

Thanks

Got this from OHIP Website:

you are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, landed immigrant or are registered as an Indian under the Indian Act;

LANDED !! and my story

All thanks goes to Almighty God, my wife landed today in Calgary. Thanks everyone.

Here is my story

10/07/2013 : Application sent first time
31/07/2013 : Application Returned due to missing signature
1/08/2013 : Application sent second time
24/08/2013 : AOR from Mississauga
30/08/2013 : SA from Mississauga, file transfer to Tel Aviv Office
10/09/2013 : File was received in Tel Aviv
21/09/2013 : ECAS changed to medicals received
8/10/2013 : AOR from Visa Office
5/12/2013 : ECAS changed to start processing
9/12/2013 : We received an e-mail to submit more documents1
13/3/2014 : After sending so many e-mails and get frustrated with the wait, we decided to apply for TRV, my wife went to the visa office to submit the TRV application, but the visa office said your immigration visa is ready!
17/3/2014 : Decision made
19/3/2014 : Visa received
25/3/2014 : LANDED

My advice, be patient, use to the time to build a solid relationship, give a lot of your time to your spouse and take care of each others. Finally, Communicate with the Visa office as much as you can, don't just WAIT!

Good luck to everyone.

I've been approved!

Parents received my COPR in the mail yesterday.
I'm already here in Canada but my parents are coming to visit shortly so they'll bring the forms with them. I'll hop across the border and come back here to land.

We sent the forms on 21st August and had one issue with them which meant we had to resubmit one due to an error.

My wife had confirmation she could sponsor me on the 17th September.

We waited until we were asked for the medical exam which was October, completed the medical on 11th November here in Canada which is about half the cost of doing it in the UK!

Received the COPR in the mail on the 27th March.

All I have to do now is land.

I'm British and applied outland via the London UK office. The waiting time for London is said to be 10 months.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Congrats, glad you are done.
There is only one problem with your advice. Many VO's will not entertain inquiries of any kind.
I know CEM will not respond to any inquiries, we have to wait for requests. Many that have went before us have tried to no avail or they get this response back from CEM: Your application is still within posted processing times, if we need further information we will send request.
So many of us have no choice but to wait in silence for months on end.

Hello fellow August applicants, another month has slipped by with no word.
But on the other hand, we are all one month closer to what we have all been wishing and praying for.
Another month or 2 we shall have some movement in August apps.
Hang in there, on the homestretch now.
Good Luck to all who are still waiting.
