Btw, I don't understand why you'd apply for a visitor's visa and a spousal visa at the same time? Can you clarify that?

So we could go to Canada while the PR is processing. We are in California and wanted to go in April.

Hi canadagirl,

if I apply for my visitor visa it cost me to denied my spouse file Or If I did visitor file it might take little bit longer than useally takes time. I m going to apply my visitor visa next week, so please suggest me should I apply for my visitor visa or not.

It's very difficult to get a visitors visa when a PR is in process. Very very.

 

[canadiangirl78]

Or they are all waiting on my form before they can move on. I'm sorry for putting the whole office on hold. I guess the entire government can only process one application per week at this point.

Hahaha!!!

Today is a big day! They are working ;D ;D

My spouse received a letter from Ottawa Pilot Center requesting my Medical Report Form before continuing the processing - deadline Jul 23rd

E-cas says our application was received Feb 16th.

Because of our mistake the sponsor approval will probably be delayed about a month... but I am too happy about receiving a word from them and SO relieved that they have it there on the desk... wow!

Congrats to everyone

I received acknowledgement letter from Ottawa..it does not indicate sponsorship approval....Does this mean that the next step is hearing sponsorship approval? They don't usually split the two...(acknowledgement vs approval)

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Family Class category. The file was transferred to the Case Processing Pilot-Ottawa office (“CPP-O”) for processing. All enquiries and correspondence must be addressed to the CPP-O office, unless directed otherwise.

We have created a file whose number is indicated above. You must quote this file number in any future correspondence. If required we will request supporting documentation at a later stage.

Yes they do split the two, at least in theory. You got an AOR. Most people do not, they just get approval. I got AOR and approval. Approval took a week so you should hear soon. Use your UCI to login to ecas. When it says Decision Made, call them. I still haven't gotten the letter they mailed over a week ago.

I am getting really ticked with them 90 days working on applications receive February 7th. As of today with no updates we are now at 107days...i just want my approval all ready! Plus I have CSQ to do!!!

My wife received her PPR today from CHC-ND via email. They haven't mentioned anything about including a prepaid envelope when sending the passport for return. Should I include a self-addressed prepaid DHL envelope anyway?? Has anybody done that?

They received my application on february 2nd. I got my approval on Monday last week, after receiving the AOR the preceding Friday. My papers are now at Immigration Québec, and they already charged my credit card, so I think two weeks approx. for CSQ is still right, I'm expecting to be approved by them next week... then west to Singapore!

I am so glad to hear that CSQ is still taking 2 weeks...that is a relief because the last thing we need is another delay!

That's great! Get that medical sent in ASAP! What addresss do you have to send it to? Did they give you an officer name?

The address is Centre de traitement pilote-Ottawa 219 Av. Laurier Ouest
Yes, they also gave us a an agent's code name

Yes, the medical is my main focus these days. Too bad I can't do anything until Monday when they open.
Can anyone tell me if they give me the form in the same day I take the exam? Or do I have to wait until they have the results?
