INLAND APPLICATIONS 2010

[boasorte]

Congratulations LY!

I got a letter that my landing interview is arranged on Jun.1st 2011 in Scarborough.

Congrats zzbf327! Can you share your complete timeline with us?

 

[komar]

Yeah but I have seen where getting the MP involved just tends to make the IO angry and try to refuse things. (Maybe I am mistaken?) Anyway, I am afraid of that happening. Plus I hear our MP isn't very helpful with this manner so I don't know what to do. I think that by next week though if I still have no news I will contact them.

That's a myth!

Congratulations on your AIP!!!

Good morning all! We received my spouse's police clearance from the UK today, we are going to express post it to Vegreville this afternoon I heard that there is a different address for correspondence is this true? if so can someone give me the address.

It a gorgeous day out and it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend! Happy Victoria Day everyone, and congrats again LY, I just realized your not on my facebook, i think I may of deleted you by accident when i cleaned up my friends list. I will re-add you.

Maybe it's just this sudden wave of how quickly the CIC website is moving, but I'm feeling very anxious. My next step is to hear from MICC, which should be anytime soon. I dont think it means I've gotten AIP or anything special, just a formality with Quebec. I'm just...so nervous and constantly second guessing my application. I guess this is the place to really ask questions and not keep stuff to myself. I often cant talk to people in real life mainly because they dont know how this Immigration stuff works. Every other day I talk to my mother or my boyfriend's family. "Have you heard anything about your visa yet?" and I say "Nope...I'll let you know when I do" And they often just dont know how long and painful this whole process is.
I mainly just wanted to ask you guys...Did I provide good enough proof? I mentioned many posts back that I am American and my partner is Canadian from Quebec. I'm applying for Common-Law.

What we submitted was:
-roughly 80 photos, we met online playing World of Warcraft, so it's hard to really document chats. So I took a few pictures of the game we play and some love letters he sent me in the game.
-cover letters by him and myself giving a detailed story about how we met and the relationship
-Joint bank account statement
-5-6 letters from my mother, his mother, his grandmother and my sister stateing that we are a happy couple and have been living with his family under the same roof
-Quite a few Hallmark cards from his family to my family and vise versa(addressed to the same residence) and many from me to him
-Tons and tons of movie ticket stubs
-Many letter from places with our address spanning out from 2008 to 2010(when I submitted the application)
-And miscellaneous reciepts from various places.

Hello.

Good morning all! We received my spouse's police clearance from the UK today, we are going to express post it to Vegreville this afternoon I heard that there is a different address for correspondence is this true? if so can someone give me the address.

Yes: It is a different mail address from where you sent your first applications.

General correspondence (general inquiries, documents requested by CPC Vegreville, withdrawal requests, additional information):

CPC Vegreville

Okay guys this is going to be long. Sorry. Lol.

wowwwwwwwwwwww so happy for u at last u made it cheers to life love young ...
just stay positive. A BIG congrats......God Bless u...

Thank you so very much santacruzan.

Oh what a happy night. I have been logging on just to see if you got AIP Love_Young and I nearly burst into tears reading your post that you got it. I'm so happy for you and now you can rest a little easier. I may just have a drink for you hehe. Congratulations hon, you deserve to finally have some good news.

Aww many people have saying that and it just makes me feel so very loved and special. You are a sweetheart. Thank you for the "congrats".

OH MY...THE BEST NEWS POSTED IN THIS FORUM. CONGRATULATION LOVE YOUNG...WE ALL HAPPY FOR YOU.

Hehe too kind. Thank you very very much sarahLDC. Not too much longer until your turn.

I'm not familiar with this, but the only way to find out is go out there and ask. ;-)
Just don't get a too big loan and settle for a simple car (if you really think you need one in the first place). Especially since you're not working YET, they might be a bit afraid and want to give you a smaller loan and/or higher interest rate.
Personally I don't like loans, they freak me out. I'd rather save money and buy it directly (car dealers also tend to give a discount when they don't have to expect their money in terms). Every day I ride my bike to work and back (6km), even through the rain, simply because I don't feel the need to own a car and be stuck in traffic every day, sponsor Shell&co. with their high prices, sponsor horrible insurance companies, etc. I admit: in the winter I took the bus, but I shared the month subscriptions (75$) with my wife and did some carpooling with colleagues. Saves a lot of money that we'll for a month trip to BC this summer.
Just some for your consideration. ;-)

By the way, it's the first time to read your age. Wow, that's brave at 21! I'm not so far away (24) and I even consider myself very young doing this.

No problem for the responses. Together we know more then just alone!

Well we aren't going to get a car right now. We are going to be saving up at least a few thousand dollars to put down on it. We are pretty wise with money. I am not that crazy over loans either but I know at some point in our lives we will need a loan for something unless of course we save for forever or are rich. Lol. I don't know about the car for now as it is something we can keep planning on. And really we do just need a simple car that is reliable but we need a car nether the less because we have been bumming rides for 2 years now. I miss my driving anyway. Lol. But your idea is amazing and helpful. Haha about my age, trust me, I do feel too young most days for this. And very true, we do know more together than alone. You're very wise.

Congratulations LY! I knew you wouldn't have any problem getting approved.

I am 20, my partner is older than me and we got approved without any interview, I see no reason why they wouldn't approve your application, your case is definitely a straight-forward one. I bet you will land within the next weeks.

Thank you so much boasorte! Wow someone close to my age as well. That is always so neat to see on here. I am glad we both got through with no problems. My hubby is 21 though too. He is only almost 5 months older than me. Ah...it would indeed be amazing if I could land soon. It would be so relieving.

Congratulations LY!
I got a letter that my landing interview is arranged on Jun.1st 2011 in Scarborough.

Thank you for the congratulations! I can say the same for you haha CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful.

That's a myth!
Congratulations on your AIP!!!

Thanks for clearing that up komar and for the congratulations.

Good morning all! We received my spouse's police clearance from the UK today, we are going to express post it to Vegreville this afternoon I heard that there is a different address for correspondence is this true? if so can someone give me the address.

Good morning girl! Hehe. That is wonderful that you finally received the clearance. Hopefully it won't be too much longer and your hubby can land soon. The day here is a bit cloudy but still gorgeous. I appreciate any sunshine I get here. Lol. Thank you again for the congrats. About the FB thing, I just sent you PM with it again. Don't worry about it. Hope you won't re-delete again on accident though. Hehe jk.

LY, whatever you decide to do I want to wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for bringing up the 2011 thread. Sometimes I am the only one on there bringing it up and talking to myself. LOL
I am dying to know if you got AIP and PR together. Are you going to call CIC and find out or just wait until e-cas gets updated? BTW, has your ecas been updated yet? How long does it take from the day you get AIP to show up on ecas?

Thank you angtao that is so sweet of you to say. I hope whatever you also decide to do that I wish you the best luck as well. And you're welcome. I am hoping more people will join in with time. I will drop by every now and again in there if you don't mind. And well I was just thinking about waiting on e-Cas just because I hear it takes 2 days after approval to update e-Cas of the status. I got approved on Wednesday so that means that if I am lucky then it will change today. And no it hasn't been updated since it was activated in March.

 

[Love_Young]

WELL I GOT MY E-CAS UPDATE!!!

We received your application for permanent residence on July 16, 2010.

We started processing your application on September 22, 2010.

We received the requested information on January 13, 2011. Thank you for providing the information.

A decision has been made and you will be contacted.


So I didn't get approved for both stages. I am unsure as to why it took so long to make a decision but maybe they wanted to approve me for both but realized it was going to take too long. So maybe PR won't be too long to follow. I think after 2-3 months I will consider ordering FOSS again if I still don't have PR interview date just to see what they are waiting on and if there is anything I can send to help push it along. Shouldn't take too long to finish it up I don't think but I could be wrong. I know though it won't take long to set up an actual landing interview at my local CIC office though just because no one hardly immigrates here. They aren't very busy. So that is my update. Sorry it isn't the most ultimate news like getting approved for both (which would have explained better the long delay) but I am still very very very happy to see this. I am making a screencap and when I get landed I will make a screencap, print it out, and frame it. Lol.

Anyway, does anyone know how long it took for them to get AIP to "decision made"? I would just like to see some approximates. ;D

 

[TeresaLynn]

So I just got back from mailing the police certificate to CIC, thank you for giving me the address. When i got to to the post office the woman informed me Canada Post is going on strike on Wednesday and advised me to mail it through Puralator or Fedex. I am not taking any chances so i mailed through express post through Puralator, it should arrive is Vegreville on Wednesday because of the holiday on Monday. Just heads up if you are expecting mail from CIC there may be a delay. If your going to mail something such as additional docs or police checks send through another carrier.

 

[Love_Young]

Yeah I hate that I had to got through a long delay to get AIP and now another long delay due to Canada Post.
Are they still going to be running the mail though or is it going to be a complete stop? I hope my OWP don't take too long to get here.

 

[canadiancitizen]

OH.....MY.....GOSH
I GOT AIP WOOHOO!!!!!

I just want to thank you all so so so so so so much for never letting me give up and always being there. Even when it meant listening to my whininess and grumpiness. I can never thank you all enough. I cannot wait for everyone else to get news. I am just a wave of emotions right now and to be honest I don't think it has sunk in yet. Hubby and I will be celebrating tonight for sure. Now lets just hope Canada Post isn't on strike for too long. Lol. Once again thank you so much. I love ya guys so much and can't wait for that chart to be completely filled in with approvals. Woohoo!

P.S. They sent a letter to me and OWP in the mail yesterday! And yes, I am already getting a billion "I told ya so's" from hubby. Lol.

YEEHAW..Love Is In The Air everywhere I look around
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
Love Young is in the air!!!!!
..LAL LAL ALALALAAAALLAALALAL lets dance and sing... congratulations LY!!!!

 

[CrazyLucy]

I still have yet to be able to log into my E-cas. Maybe it's because I'm filing for Quebec as well?

 

[TeresaLynn]

I had to call CIC today because i realized after mailing the police certificate I forgot to put the client #!! So i called CIC and she stated as long as his name and date of birth is on the document it should not be a problem. I asked her how long it takes for the mail to be opened in Vegreville and she told me 1 month. Everything is sent for my spouse now the waiting begins for PR. He started applying for jobs in the past couple of weeks, I hoping he finds something soon

LY -
Congratulations again and this time on the update of your eCase. Hopefully you will hear back soon about your landing interview.
BTW, what information they did request from you before? Did you see this line when you were checking your ecase before?

I sent you a Private message to answer you about this matter

It's still unsure if there will be a strike. i googled this news and there are controversial opinions. i guess we will not know before the 25 th of may
