Hi everyone,

I've been following this thread for a long time and i am happy for those receiving their letter of approval.
Also CiC is doing a great job for speeding the process. I just check the website and they are now working
on applications received on feb7.(initial assestment is now only 8months).

my application was received at vegreville last aug.24 2012.

i am patiently waiting for mine to process and i am happy for everyone who's having their approval.

When did you apply?

I think you have to wait until the whole process is completed before leaving Canada.
 
They received my application on 6th February :) im over the moon :))
 
I am an April applicant too guys! Lets keep our fingers crossed, and an excellent New Years Gift at the end of 2012!

As of last weekend I know they were working on February's because somebody reported getting an email indicating that their sponsorship was approved in principle. So even if it is updated to February 5 this week they will definitely be working on March's by the weekend. I am confident we will be getting good news very soon. P

Maybe next week it's our turn for the good news ..... application in April. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
 
we know an immigration officer and my husband talked to him the other day. He said that the estimate dates shown on the web site is last years not this years and the government is pressuring them to finalize cases soon as possible. As the election is near :) god sometimes i do love elections that is the time things speeds up :)) and also after you received your first approval you will receive your PR withing 2 monts max. i have read somewhere in another forum that people are receiving even 2 weeks after they approved for first stage.

They are also looking into everything in details to cach those who are paper married and once they find out they will deport them even after they receive their citizenship. so it is really not worth to lie about the application as soon or later they will cach those people. That is what he said. I dont care a smy application is real :D

Look luck to us. I hope everyone will receive their PR soon.

CONGRATULATIONS PEARL!!!!!! How excited are you?!?!
I hope they keep up their pace!
 
How excited am I? VERY! Excited:) I called everyone back home to give the good news. All are happy and now they can't sleep(it's night time there) :) everybody is waiting for us. Lots of things to do. I better start shopping now :)

I've read in another forum that after the first approval it may take up to 2 months to receive the PR. Is that correct. I have actually looked at their time sheet. And couple of them received whiting a month.

We are thinking of applying for work permit so that I will be able to leave Canada and come back. Is this doable?

Thanks
 
Congratulation again to people who got AIP already :)

As I my documents are received in March, 2012, I'm so nervous as well.

A week ago me and my husband sent CIC emails to ask them change address for us since the function Change Address on cic website doesn't work at all.
Today I go website and check it again with hope something has changed, and I recognize that they change my address WRONG.
I hurry check my email again and see if I got mistake or them, and all my information that I sent them is right, but they typed wrong the number of my address. OMG How scare it its!
I check my husband's ECas and they provided the address wrong as well. :'( :'(

I sent them another email to let them know that they got a mistake in my address already, but still so worried cuz it could delay my application since right now they are currently working on documents received in February, 2012.

Hope good news come soon with us! :D

Hi,
If you can't change it through ecas Try to call them instead of email..Thats what I did before when I changed our address...the fastest way to get through the agent is by dialling cic call center and press the no.1-0-2-1-0 or 1-0-0-0-0 Goodluck and dont worry it will not delay your applications.. :D
