i thought the police clearance was good for a year once you submitted it?
So did I but apparently not! I've emailed them saying I provided the original certificate when I first applied (Mississauga) but they haven't replied to any of my emails... So frustrating! :'(

I have no idea!! Im pretty sure it would take a day or two if the case officer cared enough, but I bet they put my file back on the pile with the other applications and get back to it months later... Would it be possible to order it myself??
I would think you can order one (at least in my country you can)?!? How did you submit one with your original application? Did you order one then?

Hello! I would like to be added to the spreadsheet. :D

I am a Canadian sponsoring my common law American boyfriend (currently living in Canada with me)
We sent our application to CPP-O on February 14th, 2013
Our application was received at the CPP-O on February 18th, 2013
Sponsorship approval received on March 25th, 2013
Medical results were received (we sent them in October 2012 - I don't remember the day :( )

I don't know what AOR is... I sen't them a fax on July 25th requesting the addition of my e-mail to the application. They replied on July 29th by e-mail saying that our file is in queue for review by an officer and it should be examined within the next 1-2 months.

Waiting patiently for the passport request!! We can't wait! :p
Dear balkaron. Please give me the info as below so I can add you to the spreadsheet properly.

Hello and welcome.

First of all. Try to keep your questions in one message.

You are saying you are Colombian but you have applied through a European VO. Was that because you reside in Europe?
Are you in a Refugee status somewhere? PIF ?? Have you applied under Family Sponsorship?

Please explain to the members here some things about your situation so we know how to assist you better.

Dear Messenger.

Sorry about that and Yes, I am Colombian (I had applied for the Canadian refugee system from 2007 until 2011, but it was rejected). I am a PR from one of the EU. My wife is the sponsor, she is Canadian and EU citizen. We applied under Spousal Sponsorship.

We are a little confused about the requirement from the VO: •Copy of PIF, Personal Information form and narrative. This must be received at this office by: 09/12/2013

And this is our timeline: IN PROCESS

1.We received your application for permanent residence on March 4, 2013.

2.We started processing your application on July 8, 2013.

3.Medical results have been received

Thanks again,

Canadian-Colombian

Dear friend Cbn Cdn

Your application seems to be in process through the VO (Embassy) and they need this document (most likely it's your rejection) but I cannot be sure as all of us here are strictly family sponsorship applicant (like you are now), but without any history of refugee claims.
Try to post your message in the main thread of Family Sponsorship as there would be members with similar experiences and I am sure you can get your answers. If you don't have any answers soon, which I am sure you will try to send a PM to user Sweden or user Leon. They are both very experienced in different matters.
Come back to this thread and give us all the following info if you are a February 2013 applicant so we can add you in our spreadsheet.

Let us know how it went after you get the info

Great for you amigo.

Cali is a place where lots of my Colombian friends are from but no I haven't been there.
We Greeks we can say if the food is good when we go to other countries. And I can say that Colombian food is extra ordinary. I always had Empanadas every where I went.
But to the best thing I have experienced in my life was Andres Carne De Res in Chia just outside Bogoda. Nothing in the world compares to this food experience and not only. This place blows your mind and your senses.
Here are a couple of Videos I posted in YouTube from my 2009 visit.

Dear Tom.

My wife and I have been living together at her parent's residence in Chania, Greece, for the last year and half. Though we have not had much luck as far as jobs go, my wife and I have been enjoying our stay and "laughing" tell people that we are on a really long-long honeymoon.

Food here in Greece is amazing too (Like Soupia or Greek Pancettas). I love it..!! ;D

Absolutely Tom, I know where Thessaloniki is located. But I never been there. My wife and I went this year to Athens and the surrounding areas, like Δελφοί, Galaxidi, Glifada, Korinthos, etc.

We hope to receive some good positive news soon.

Ohh by the way, wonderful news about your baby, congratulations..!!
