[screech339]

yes i think that's what it means.. do you have any idea roughly when cic reissues a new one? or are you familiar with this kind of case?

Unforuately no. I haven't has the knowledge or experience on this situation. Perhaps computergeek may be able to answer your question as he has been around the block longer than me.

Does anyone have any experience with the backlog office in Vancouver for files transferred from vegreville

YES I am one of them. I got DM last April 9, Vegreville issued a COPR for me to get landed but Vancouver was very slow and mine expired last JUly 23 because they didn't schedule me. SO now I have to wait for Vegreville to reissue a new COPR for me to land. and it really is pissing me off.

Can computer geek reply to my post

I have not received DM yet. I got AIP in November 2012 . But vegreville transferred my file to Vancouver. I live in Toronto. Any experiences on that.

 

[canuck2k]

called CIC today, since its been over 8 months after AIP.
The agent said the deadline is August 15th because they didnt get police clearance from home country untnil Dec 15th. The 8 months begins when they have all the info required for stage II.

She said to call on August 16th if we don't hear anything in the next two weeks

 

[canadianthrower]

So what exactly do they have to do to complete stage 1? Is the background check and medical part of stage 2?

 

[hazard]

Maybe that's why mine got transferred . Maybe medicals and background checks are still pending

The sponsorship was approved on July 10, 2013. A medical is not required to be submitted with the application for common law sponsorship and they have not requested one. I have read that inland spousal sponsorships don't always require a medical. It took 14 months to get approval for sponsorship so hoping they had been working on applicant security check etc at same time. Office is Vegreville and we currently live in Fort McMurray.

Has anyone heard of a case for rescheduling the landing interview for an earlier date than schedule?

Thanks

That's great news. I think you may be one of the rare case whereby you can land in Canada without a medical test. Everywhere I read online says "if you apply for permanent residence, you must have an immigration medical exam", "if you apply to immigrate to Canada, you must have a medical exam before you come to canada".

I would like you to post a link whereby you may not require a medical to sponsor a PR. I know you are not required to submit medical or even police check with your application. So far from what I have gathered here, all came back requested medical to get done.

I don't mean to discourage you on your process. If you are able to land without a medical test, all the bests. However be prepared to show up at landing only to be told that you cannot become PR until you get your medical test done if they noticed you didn't have one done. This may be a result of an oversight on CIC agent's part in processing a DM due to catching up on backlog.

Yes there are cases whereby they reschedule you earlier. You have to show proof why you need an eariler date. They will likely accomodiate you if you can have goof reasons to book earlier. One case asked to book earlier due to booked vacation outside Canada (visa-exempted country).

@sierra
I'd do myself a huge favour by calling CIC to ensure that you don't need a medical. If they don't request a medical from you by their error they'll want you to assume the blame because thwyre gonna argue that medical is required for immigrating to Canada. It'll only cost you more time and gets you angrysoso deal with it now


@Everyone
It'd my favourite day of the week; the day before the website is updated

Hi k84

Yes we landed in Etobicoke. We had the same letter. It also stated day and time of interview. I only brought my drivers licence, I'm the sponsor. My wife brought her landing letter, her 2 pr pics, her visitor records and passport. Even brought her Ontario Drivers licence too. They only asked my ID for identity purpose and reminded me about the financial obligations of sponsorship. They asked my wife 3 questions,"have you have any children other than those listed in application", "have you been denied entry into Canada or any other country?" and "have you been convicted in Canada?" that was it. She signed initials on COPR confirming questions asked and signed on bottom. She became PR. Told to go back to wait area and wait to get called for SIN processing.

Whole thing took about 20 mins tops including getting called back to another booth for SIN processing.

Good luck to you. Make sure you show up early before your time.
