nilyam - I think I read somewhere else that you just need to send in a copy of the birth certificate and have them add it to your file.
thanks ilovecanada4ever.....ilovecanada4ever said:Congratulations nilyam !
Used the old forms :angtao said:Angus, that is awesome. There must be some sort of changes going on there.
BTW, did you use the old forms or the new forms?
AMAZING NEWS... Im so happy for you both... yeehaw... congratulations.....Angus said:So....
My husband and I got letters from CIC today, both dated September 26, 2011 which is the date my app. went 'In Progress'
My Letter:
“This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class.
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident status as a member of the spouse of common-law partner in Canada class. However, a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background...
You may now apply for an open work permit...”
My husband's letter:
“This letter refers to the application to sponsor a member of the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class you submitted to this office on behalf of ****ME**** and family (if applicable).
...nooo... please positive thoughts... I say (me making a wish for you) you will get PR in February... Yeah!!!! if you think is too much then I'll change my wish okAngus said:Used the old forms :
Thanks everyone! Yeah didn't actually think it would happen to anyone else. So it must be something to do with the changes in July - which really sucks for everyone before July
I do have a pretty straight forward case, so I thought maybe that helped a little?!? But I guess we will never know..
You never know, it could just be a new way of processing the sponsors for first stage (to get the applicant working on a OWP ASAP), but then second stage is longer - my PR could still be a year and a half + off. I guess we will find out soon.
I am working at the moment. I arrived in Canada March 2006 and have worked full time since then. My husband and I met in April 2007, married August 2010 and I filed for PR July 2011. My husband was born in Canada and there are no kids (yet) on either side.hatrang said:Angus, if it's correct you have AIP now, I would like to send the huge congratulations to you. Your case encourages us that CIC is speeding up.
I read one post and knew you are current holding a work permit. Can I ask if you're working right now? I think if you're working and paying tax, it may be also the key for CIC to approve you early, just my thought :!
Congratulations again, I'm so happy for you.

So as my case is fairly straight forward and I've already been in the CIC system for almost 6 years maybe that helped?
