Tdelyte, I'm sooo happy for that! You and your husband were on my mind and I was hoping to hear some good news and am very happy for you both!

Today was a good day for Feb applicants, LOL. :D

P.S. No, you won't mind the wait, I'm sure. ;)

Thought I'd ask here before opening a new thread. I am currently in Canada (from Ireland) Since January 25th, 6 month visitor visa. My common-law partner and I sent our app in February obviously and so far just sponsorship has been approved,and we are in Quebec so that will slow down things further. Anyways, I will need to apply for an extension on the visitor visa. Is this straight forward? I assume I tell the truth and provide my receipt and file number? Where do you do this? Do you need to provide details of a return flight when applying for the extension? Any details would be great!

Thanks Kewjoe.

ARC = Authorization to Return to Canada. All persons who leave Canada on an order of departure or an order of deportation must get ARC before they can return. It is a Ministerial authorization.

Hello Guys,

I sent my documents to attorney for Quebec Skilled Worker Program in Jan'2011.

Attorney sent the documents to Hongkong Office on Feb'04'2011. I got a letter from Government of Quebec on Mar'15'2011 mentioning that they don't recognize my attorney and needs to file for representation as per new policies effective from Feb'02'2011. They also returned my Credit Card payment form as processing payment of $395. This letter had one file number on it, starting with HA.

Then, I sent one representation form to my attorney and they filled for represntation along with $100 as representation fee. He filled for represntation in Apr'2011. Also, he sent the payment for processing again in May'2011.

I havn't heard anything back from anyone yet. Please share your experiances.

Thanks,
Vipul Garg

Vipul, this is the spousal/family class thread. You might want to post this in the forum section for Skilled Workers.

May 10th, 2011- PASSED and informed the same day :-)

January 25th, 2012- Drop off PPT in the morning and told to come back in afternoon to pick-up PPT with Canadian VISA :-)
Silly question:

So my hubby's ecas status was updated to:

Permanent Residence
We received XXXXX XXXX's application for permanent residence on April 1, 2011.

We started processing XXXXX XXXX's application on May 10, 2011.


So does that mean that I can start counting the published processing times from MAY 10th? Ankara process' 80% of their cases within 7 months BUT (and a BIG FAT BUT) my husbands WILL NOT fall into that category as he needs an ARC (SUCKS!!!) so based on what we've seen its looking like a year and a half- to possibly two years :-( Unless a miracle happens!!! lol Looks like we'll be doing his meds again in november....I wonder if they actually did anything on May 10th, 2011 BESIDES his interview?

Usually the processing time is supposed to be counted from when the VO starts processing the application, yes. The need for ARC will delay your husband's processing beyond the normal time span, yes, but we can always hope it doesn't take as long as that! At, least, I hope that for you guys. :)
