Inland Application 2011

[Serendipity]

We called CIC this morning at 8 AM sharp, and the agent that answered did indeed confirm that both stages had been approved at the same time. We are ecstatic, to say the least, and extremely happy and thankful that we were blessed in such a way. (Getting both stages approved at once is, no doubt, serendipitous )

Also, and according to the same agent, my wife should be landing in Scarborough in the next couple of months or so.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, and we truly hope that you all may get some good news in the very near future.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I have begun the Inland Application process for her Permanent Residence in Canada, with me being the sponsor. We're going through a lawyer because of a bad experience we had in 2010 when she applied for a Live-In Caregiver Temporary Permit, so we're hoping it all goes a little more smooth this time around!

Although I don't know exact dates of when the law office submitted our information, we handed in our forms on Sept.5, so it would likely be around the middle of September 2011 that are application was sent off. So now we wait

I have a question for anyone that can advise though... I just got our Receipt Number (IMM5401) from the lawyer today, to try to access the Client Application Status service on the CIC website (https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do?app=ecas). Is this the same service as the 'E-Cas' that everyone is referring to? I have seen this link before (https://ecas.carroll.org.uk/), and I'm just wondering if there is any benefit/more information when using this service as opposed to the CIC's?

Also, when I put the information into the CIC's Client Application Status tool, it just says that 'We were not able to identify you using the information you provided', and gives a few reasons, such as the application being received but not processed yet.. Is it normal to not be able to fully login ~3.5 months after the application has been submitted?

Thanks in advance for any help, and congrats to Serendipity for good news!

Yes, the Client Application Status service is what people here refer to as 'ecas'. And yes I think it's normal that you can't log in yet. My fiance applied mid august and just the other day we received an email from CIC saying they received our application and giving us the required application number for logging in. I'd assume you should be in the system soon if you're from september.

If you've received an email from CIC directly, maybe try variations on the last name? you should be logging in with the applicants details.

and that second link is just a web application that an individual made that will email you whenever your file on the main e-CAS site is updated. For whatever reason CIC didn't implement that small but handy feature.

Great, thanks for the info Sievo! We haven't received any information yet from CIC, although I'm not sure if we will since we used a representative.

I just found out that our Application date was Sept.9, 2011, so it's likely just a matter of waiting a few more weeks..

Dear all,


My wife's e-CAS today:


"We received your application for permanent residence on January 21, 2011.

We started processing your application on March 7, 2011.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made and you will be contacted.

We sent you a letter on January 4, XXXXXXX about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. If we have sent the letter to the wrong address, please contact us."

Hey everyone I've been ready up in the forum and a question just came to me.

When you say your aprroved for both stages then does it mean that in the letter or mail, you also receive your PR card?

I'm only asking because I have the same message on my file. What are the next steps once you receive the letter?

I'm just slightly confused

HELLO EVERYONE,
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT MY HUSBAND WHO IS A CITIZEN WILL USE AS LOG IN ID? I CAN LOG INTO ECAS WITH MY CLIENT ID NO BUT MY HUSBAND IS A CITIZEN AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO LOG INTO ECAS WITH. WE TRIED CALLING CIC AND THEY KEPT US ON HOLD FOR LONG, I GAVE UP.

 

[sievo]

I don't think your husband will get his own login for e-cas. It's all considered the same file as far as I know.

I'm sponsoring my fiance and I didn't get any special login....

[edit] never mind, looks like I can log in with the client ID i received from CIC, and my fiance can log in with the application number. Fancy that!

Hi! I'm getting kinda worried. Maybe I shouldn't be, but could you answer this question?

A letter was sent beginning of December 2011 with my AIP. I called the CIC centre and they told me it'd take about 2 weeks to arrive. It's already January and it hasn't arrived, yet. Does it take this long during holidays? My address is correct so I don't think that's the issue. It's an inland application. I just started to get my mail this week after the holidays, but I thought my letter would arrive by today the latest. Do they process government mail differently?

I think people just look at the eCas message to tell that an app. was approved 1 or 2 stages.
If you see "Medical results have been received." before "a decision has been made", that means both stages.
So if you already got approval on both stage, you now just wait for your landing interview and PR card. It's the matter of time only.

My hubby (citizen and the sponsor) just received an email from CIC. He never had clientID before but in the email they did give him a client ID.
Just because right now CIC didn't update eCas so I can't log into it even though using mine or his ID. I think CIC just started sending email to the sponsor recently. If you filed your app. before July, you may not receive anything until the first approval (1st stage).

Hi MrMass,

What follows after the Second Stage of Approval is successfully completed, which includes medical, security, background checks and other verifications for the person being sponsored, is the landing interview.

This interview, which is a "painless" administrative formality to officialize the new status, takes place at the local CIC office with jurisdiction over the case. Normally, and shortly after the Second Stage is over, the applicant receives a letter from CIC stating the place and time for the event in question, as well as any required documents. At the end of the normally short interview, provided that the RPRF has already been paid and that there are no additional issues, the applicant receives his/her Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292). A few weeks later the already Permanent Resident should receive by mail the actual Permanent Resident Card.

MrMass, the good news is that all you need to do to is to call CIC and ask them whether you were in fact approved for both stages, which for what we have seen lately is quite possible. No need to guess, buddy, just call

I'm sorry that I missed "AIP" in your question so I gave the wrong answer in the previous post. I just delete the answer for your part there. You may just wait some more days, I guess just around Monday or Tuesday you will yet it, don't worry!

Thank you! Does it always take this long? Another question, on my ecas it said "a decision has been made and you will be contacted." That's when I called CIC and they told me they approved my application for PR H&C beginning of December 2011. I'm a little confused, because some people get asked for medicals before decision made? Or should i not pay attention to the wording on the ecas?
