I just answered in Inland 2012....I think I wrote in the wrong thread.....I think this is where I belong :

Hi guys.

I just found this forum today and I am super happy that I did.

I came to Canada in March 2011, to meet my man for the first time. We had got to known each other online and really fell in love....so we decided that I would joyn him here in Canada, to see if our love would grow as we met....and it did
Now we have been married for 18 month and we are so happy together. So one Swedish lady and one Canadian man became a very happy couple.
Our application is all sent in....with everything they wanted....and my husbands sponsorship application is complete....at least they say so. And I had to send my background once again and now they want a proof of my divorce from Sweden (I got divorced 1994)....and that should not be a problem to get. It wasnt enough if everything was stated on my so called Swedish bith certificat.....Canada wants a cetrificat of the divorce on a paper of its own.

It took me and my husband 6 month to gather all the papirwork together, for our application. And when we sent it in it was a thick as a novel lol And wow was that a stressful time. So so scary. And we have been and are still so scared of doing anything wrong, since we done it all by our selfs. So I wish we had known about this forum way back. We have had so many questions during this process....and so few to ask. But we have done as best as we can.
Medical done
Police papers is sent in
Family letters
photos
+ many many many many more things.

We never heard och knew anything about getting approved in different levels.....so we sent in everything in one big package. And its about 8 month ago we sent it all in....so we know they started our case in the beginning of Oct. Maybe we didnt know about getting approved in different levels, because we wont need a work permit for me....I am retired in Sweden, due to a panic attack disorder Iv had for 25 years....so I will have my income and retiredment from Sweden rest of my life.....even though I live in Canada now.

One thing that is all news to us is the part about fingerprints. Oh....I thought we went through ever word in every recomendation....but we must have missed that part. So Im guessing they will send yet another reminder for us to do.
Should we contact them and ask...or should we wait until they contact us about fingerprints?

I get so confused when I read how everyone has done and are doing these applications.

When we, my husband and I, did ours we sent in everything at once. Like a package. And we thought everyone had to do so?

We talked many tims with the agents to be sure we did the right thing. ANd they said that we had to send in everything at once. So we fullfilled the checklist....did the medical....sent in all the documents the checklist said....incl the police papers and eeeeeeverything.
Now when I read I get so confused.....when I see that many of you are getting asked to send in those documents in stage 2 (my husband and I never knew there was more then one stage, so that is news to us)
Have we done anything wrong now? Were we not supposed to send in everything at once? -worried-

hi everyone! finally landed! here's my experience,

my husband and I arrived at exactly 8 am, at the entrance, a guard asked our appointment letter, so I showed it then he lead us into the elevator. At the reception, they took my landing letter and asked if I paid already so I said yes, then told us to wait at the waiting area. After about 15 mins, an agent called my name and we followed her to a cubicle. Inside, the agent asked an identification id of my husband (the sponsor, he showed his health card), veryfied his name and everything, and then asked my husband if he is still willing to sponsor me, well obviously my husband said ofcourse. Then, I was asked to provide these documents: passport and my old passport where I had the stamp of my entry in canada, CSQ and the letters that was attached with it, all my immigration permits, the online receipt and my pictures. Basically, the agent just verified if all the infos are correct, and checked the details in the passport, then asked me if I have been convicted/charged of any offense, then if I have dependents/children outside canada (my answer to both was NO)... After that the agent took 1 picture and measure it, returned the other 1. when everything was in order, she handed me a booklet, and told me to read it, then left us for few minutes. When she returned she brought my COPR, there were 2 copies, she checked if all the infos in the Copr are correct and asked me to put initials on the 2 questions I was being asked, then asked me to sign and write the date. She handed me client's copy of COPR and said welcome to canada. Around 8:45, we're out of the building.

During the interview, the agent told me that I have to wait for 8 weeks for my PR card to arrive before i can apply for SIN, but i can renew my health card anytime (which i did right away, went to RAMQ and renewed it, i didn't pay anything since i was told that my current picture will be used for my new card).

Here's the sad part, I went to Service Canada in Jarry hoping that I can get a new SIN (like VINLANDER's wife) since the SIN i have started with 9 and is expired already. Unfortunately, the agent told me that I am missing a stamp on my passport and told me that he can't issue me a SIN unless I have that. He gave me CIC'c number and told me to call and ask. I didn't argue with the agent, since the agent from CIC told me to wait for the PR card, and that's the rule. i just thanked him and said bye :-( I guess I am just not lucky. I will try to go to Decarie next week just to check if Service Canada's systems are all the same.

This SIN rule "thing" drives me nuts. I just cant understand why we need to wait for the PR card, or have a stamp on our passport, etc...

Anyways, I am still happy and thankful that I am PR already. For those who are still waiting for their DM, goodluck, your time will come soon! Just pray and have more patience. God Bless every one and Thank you very much co-inlanders!

CONGRATSSSSS AND WELCOME TO CANADA AS PR!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

You did the right move..everything should be sent together...in some cases the marrige papers or the police certificates are not ready so people send them out after submitng the main application and mail the rest once it becomes ready to save times...medical records comes with an expiry so in many cases people have to re submit... Correct me if i am wrong ppl

The standard procedure is to send the whole package and I guess most people go this way. These documents covers both stages :sponsorship (AIP) and permanent residence for the applicant. What happens is some people prefer to wait for police or medical record that they are requested in case they expire if the process take longer than normal; that can however introduce more waiting time. In our case we sent the application in dec 2011 but did the medical at the end of march 2012 before they asked. CIC can also request some additional informations or documents later on in the process.

 

[DaleandMonica]

Okey. Thanks guys

We never found anything in the papers that they wanted fingerprints too though. I guess we just have to wait and see what they say and want. Not that fingerprints will be any problems.....but I dont want any more delays

Then I hope my medical wont be to old. I did my medical around 2 months or so before I sent the papers in. I didnt know it would take them this long to start the papers, after they were delivered. Oh I hope I dont have to do the medical again.....I just want this to be over with...its scary enough not having to go through that again
They started to look at our applications in the beginning of October....wouldnt they have said something if the medical was to old by now you think? -hoping-

My police record cant become to old can it? It was sent from the Swedish gouvernment.....and I havent been outside Canada since Sweden sent it to me....so Canada must see that I have been a good 48 year old girl since I came right?

Oh Im so looking forward to the day my husband and I can stop worrying.....I want this to be over NOW :'(

AFAIK police records usually don't expire, but they must not be older than 3 months old when CIC receive the application. In our case it was close to 4 months old and we were not sure CIC would accept it but they did
Regarding finger prints, CIC might request them if needed but unless you have been in the country for a while or depending on other factors in many cases they are not requested.

 

[nonoo]

thank you! i received an email from CIC for DM2 on October 13, then i think i received landing letter from montreal nov 23.

Thanks lyn28, just one last question how did you manage to do the medical on the same day it requested?

Thank you so very much for your answer.
I guess I just have to wait and see what they will deside to do....and ask for. Feels good that everything is sent in....even though they ask for a few more papers......but it feels like we are close now.

Hi Wolanila

Yes, check PR.
Location is Vegreville
And No, it won't effect your application.

Good Luck

Lab

I just have a few more questions for requesting electronic notes please. Do I have to write N/A in the parts that don't apply? And I also have to send a copy of the visa to prove I am currently in Canada correct? Should I request application status... will this reveal more info than ecas does? and do I still put my home address if I'm requesting response by email?
