Congrats on your PPR! We applied on the same day, I still have heard nothing. Our visa offfice is so slow. What is your visa office's average processing time?

Good luck with all your next steps! :)
 
I am very happy to say that my wife has finally received her PPR, she got her email on May 4. Woohooo! Finally. :D
 
And now we have COPR - almost home now. Everybody else is gone already.
 
Still waiting. It's ridiculous how long our visa office takes for a straightforward case such as my husbands and mine. I swear I will actually be the last one standing in this August group. Happy for everyone though. Happy your visa offices actually work through applications at an acceptable rate.
 
We are still waiting too for the PPR or atleast the acceptance. No response from the CIC we tried to contact them since February till now no one responded to our emails from the VO.

Congrats to everyone who are almost done with this process.
 
Hi everyone,

My wife landed in Canada last week and everything went well. She entered Canada now because her PR visa was expiring soon. We're living together outside of Canada. We were only in Canada for 3 days and now we're back to Libya because we're not ready to settle in Canada yet.

The immigration officer told us that my wife would need to spend 2 years of the next 5 years in Canada, BUT, since we're living TOGETHER in Libya now, the rule doesn't quite apply to us... I'm not quite sure what she meant. Has anyone heard about this? What's the minimum that she would need to be in Canada in our case?

What she mean she could lose her PR card if stay outside longer then 2 years in 5 years this apply to any immigrant as if live all Outland so she is not immigrant and will affect too the citizenship process in future hope this answer helps you

I actually read about this the other day. See the link. http://www.canadavisa.com/canadian-immigration-residency-obligations.html

If you are a permanent resident and your spouse is Canadian and you reside in another country with your spouse, your days outside Canada can be counted as residency days.
 
hi there, what was the result of this? i too just got this message yesterday.. well, my husband did and i am the sponsor. did you end up getting a request for more docs?

thank you!
what that mean my wife got the same auto generated letter ? please advise i am so confused and stressed out
 
Anyone else waiting for an incredibly long time? August 3rd will be 1 year from when submitted. I don't know what's going on anymore. Husband's file started processing sept 23 for PR. They requested documents in Jan and Feb. I ordered GCMS notes in April and they said that security and background were done. I don't know why it's taking so long.

I'm with Paris VO.

Any ideas?
