Inland Application 2011

[hatrang]

I finally finished reading both Inland 2010 and 2011 threads, well, please allow me to celebrate here since it means a lot to me, LOL. I'm soon sharing this thread too.
Inland 2010 thread really cost me the huge labour though. I won't complain, everything I got was far more valuable than I expected

I already finished medical check today. Just waiting for some papers from my country and expecting to send my app around October 15, 2011.
Have a good evening, guys!

Well done hatrang!

Wish I knew about this forum before posting off my application. I didn't put in any joint bills or anything, mainly because the check list said to only do this for common law relationships They will probably now request more information from me and it will push my application back - oh well, we live and learn!

Thanks Angus. I just googled a lot when I started my paperwork, you know, many questions are waiting for me there.
And fortunately, I found this forum. People are really kind, helpful and friendly.
By the way, is it true or my mistake, I didn't see you in angtao's list. Sorry to hear that you missed something.

As I learned here and there in this forum:
If you are still waiting long for AIP, you still can modify. And more important, you'll be fine. As you said, you two already got married.

In my upcoming app, I still include renting agreements and our sharing addresses to prove we've been staying together for more than 1 year even we got married already. I don't know but I'm trying to give as much as I have. I don't have any joint bills or bank though, financial strains.
Chins up chins up, we'll be there at Rome!

I guess I'm not on that list as I couldn't confirm the date my application arrived in July. I sent it off July 19, via xpresspost, so two business days should of got it there July 21. Problem is the Canada Post reciept was damaged leaving the tracking number unreadable. Sadly Canada Post has no way of finding the tacking number on their end, so I have no way to confirm that my original application did in fact arrive.

I spoke to CIC last week and they said just re-send it as a duplication with an explanation cover letter, if my July one did arrive they will start processing that one and my September duplicate will not effect the process. Did this and my duplicate arrived today

...It's already been a stressful process.

Angus, when we sent our Expresspost, we gave them our e-mail address and they e-mailed out tracking number right away. Do you not have it on e-mail?

Oh dear, you were stressed out at the beginning already, sorry to hear that dear. Let's say you're still earlier than me more than a month, still there is a reason to cheer up! Praying for all of us.

what time do they update the processing times on the CIC website?

 

[hatrang]

Here is what I found from Thread 2010, written in my own words:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp
This is updated every Wednesday. This is where you can see what applications they are approving now.
And of course CIC never follows any schedule, that day was observed from people in that thread, not officially from CIC.
Sometimes, CIC didn't update for more than 2 weeks as those guys in thread 2010 claimed.
The website could show updates at night too.

 

[angtao]

They can update it at anytime of the day. I have seen it in the morning and the afternoon. I have also seen them update it on Thurs and Fri but have Wednesdays date on it. You never know with CIC.

My post office never gave me that option and I had no idea that was a possibility

[Angus]

Okay - happy dance time ;D

FINALLY got through to someone at CIC and my application WAS received July 21, 2011 - waahhoooo

 

[angtao]

Ya, I saw that Angus. It sucks but we do know that they are working ahead of schedule.

Naz, are you trying to log in to e-cas? Do you have a client id number? Or are you trying to check to see the jump today? You do not need to log-in to check the jump.

 

[angtao]

Angus, that is awesome. Is your file in process yet? Did you get a client id number?
