INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

[sophieee]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get support for a petition I've created regarding the wait times and communication inconsistencies from CIC https://www.change.org/p/honourable-chris-alexander-minister-of-citizenship-and-immigration-canada-decrease-canadian-family-class-immigrant-application-times-and-improve-processes-and-responsiveness-for-applicants?recruiter=366838292&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

I created a new thread that includes this link as well as a sample letter that one can write to their MP. [url]http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/letter-to-mp-to-decrease-application-processing-times-and-petition-to-minister-t346748.0.html]http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/letter-to-mp-to-decrease-application-processing-times-and-petition-to-minister-t346748.0.html][url]http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/letter-to-mp-to-decrease-application-processing-times-and-petition-to-minister-t346748.0.html[/url]

Please consider taking this small action to help those waiting both in Canada and overseas. The key is to share the link with as many people as you can. Post it to facebook, etc.

Here is my landing experience:

Hi guys,
So I went to my landing appointment today at Hornby Street, Vancouver. We went early and we waited like 50 minutes. Than we saw a guy with a weird moustache and terrible jokes. He was joking all the time and he was laughing at his own jokes, even though it was clear that he tells them ten times a day (and he was not funny). Anyway, finally after like 20 minutes I got my COPR and was free to go to celebrate
Standard questions, they were not really interested that my husband was with me, didn't ask for IDs. 86 days till PR card. I was told that I have to wait till my PR card arrives to get a new SIN, but I heard from others that it can be done with the COPR. I will go in the next couple days and try to get it.
I have bittersweet feelings, of course I'm very happy to be done with it, but I still feel disappointed with this whole process.

I can't recall the exact questions, because the guy kept talking during the whole time about the most irrelevant things, like his special edition John Lennon pen, and how honored should I feel that I can sign my COPR with that pen; and he marked my COPR with yellow highlight and very proudly told us that he is the only officer who does this, because no one else thinks of poor applicants/permanent residents who can't tell the difference between the original COPR and the copies, etc... He asked me if I'm still married, asked about the crimes and dependents, refused entry... Didn't ask anything from my husband.

No.
CSE is where you send a message to CIC regarding your application.

GCMC notes tell you what CIC says about your application.
