INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

[canham2012]

18882422100, then press 123, so you dont have to listen to all those messages, it will direct you to press ur client id and birth year then you wait. That's what i have been doing, and I usually call on thursday at 10am.

Thank you so much lyn28..

Hi rossal,

Yeh even I am thinking of calling them, its so frustrating to keep on waiting. The process was moving faster, but now it has again slowed down. Have you received your AOR?

Yes, I received AOR in October 17th, my application was received June 15th, and they start the process October 16th... Also they sent an email October 18th asking to continue with the MICC (Québec applicants) and still any news from MICC either... I will wait to December to call them... Was 11 months when we sent the application, now only 6 months so I will give them a month more... Hope that we all can get good news soon

Hello Rossal and Canham,

Good for you guys that you received an AOR from CIC.. I did not but well using my client id,i can see the status which is application received on June 7. I dont want to check ecas as it will just frustrate me. How about you two,what is stated in your ecas? would you mind sharing it to us? thanks!

My ecas only say received June 15th but with my husband ID number says
Sponsorship Application Status :"In process" (They started on October 16)
Permanent Residence Application Status : "Application received" (received June 15th)

It took about a few weeks to a month for my husbands medicals to be added to Ecas. Maybe you should try to call the doctor to be sure he sent them in, then call the CIC.

Hope this helps

Hi,

In my Ecas it states that the Application was received on 4th june . And they started processing on 10th october. (Nothing is mentioned about medicals, as I have done before and sent them with application) .

You can see where all the inland applicants are at by checking out our spreadsheet. The link is attached. You can add yourself in the appropriate spot or I can do it for you if you like.

I am coming down this afternoon for a function this evening. We will be with another couple but can meet for breakfast tomorrow if you like. Let me know and I will call you later.

Breakfast sounds nice but depends on the weather as if it is nice I must go to work. If I'm not working we are in. Call me later!!

Hi there !

First comment as a Permanent Resident of Canada =) =) I'm so happy now !

Here's how it went:
my appointment was at 2pm. I got there at 1.15 (yes I know, it's very early, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be late =))
When I arrived, there was a huge line up (probably 50 people), but it turned out that these people were there for the citizenship ceremony. The agent took my letter and told me "you're too early, please comme back at 1.45".
I came back at 1.45 and she opened the doors for me. There were only 2 other couples and one lady on her own.
I was asked to go to the counter to pay. I had already paid 2.5 months ago but somehow it wasn't in their system. So I decided to pay again and I will claim my money back. I'd rather wait for money than for my PR =)
I then had to sit for a little bit and they started calling people. I was asked to go to a counter where a lady asked me to give her my passport and my husband's ID. We gave both our passport's and she realized that I was French and my husband was born in Romania. She was originally from Romania and spoke both French and Romanian, so we actually didn't even have the landing interview in English. She asked me questions in French and she asked my husband questions in Romanian. We both speak English but it was lovely =) =) She asked us both if we have committed any crime, been deported and if we have children outside Canada. We answered "no" to everything. We then had to sit and wait for a little bit again (probably 5 min). We were then called again. The woman asked me to give my picture. She took only one, she said she doesn't need 2 (not sure why they ask for 2 then). She then asked me to confirm the information that is on the COPR. She said that all that matters is that my names, date of birth and address are right. My husband's address (sponsor's address) was wrong. We had updated it online but they didn't change it. She said that it doesn't matter, all that matters is my address.
She made me sign the document (my copy + her document), she stamped my passport and the COPR and signed them and then congratulated me on becoming a permanent resident. She then explained my obligations as a PR and explained what I have to do to apply for citizenship.
It took 25 min in total and it was great =)

After that, I went to Service Canada, where I was able to get my permanent SIN.
If you are from a visa exempt country, you *CAN* get your permanent SIN the same day. The people at CIC do not always know this.

SO now I am a permanent resident and my SIN starts with a 6 =) =)
I'm super happy !!!
