INLANDERS!

[robrod]

Wow, we have just about the same timeline... I thought I was one of the last ones from Inland 2009, here's mine:

Status: Decision Made (on main e-cas login page), received Decision Made letter from Vegreville about 2 months ago, awaiting COPR appointment letter from local office (Scarborough, Ontario).

Permanent Residence

We received your application for permanent residence on October 5, 2009.

We started processing your application on November 17, 2009.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made and you will be contacted.

We sent you a letter on May 3, 2010 to XXXXXX, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. If we have sent the letter to the wrong address, please contact us.

We received the requested information on May 26, 2010. Thank you for providing the information.

A decision has been made and you will be contacted.

A decision has been made and you will be contacted.

robrod, yours is better because you have - "a decision has been made and you will contacted".
The last sentence in my timeline is:
We received the requested information on May 11, 2010. Thank you for providing the information.
I sent today a fax to CSIS and maybe I get some information.

 

[robrod]

Yes, thx Lilian. Actually the lines that read "A decision has been made and you will be contacted." I've learned don't mean a lot. What does mean a lot is your main status on the log-in page and especially the Decision Made letter from Vegreville. That letter is the one we all are waiting for to know if we made it or not. After that letter, comes the one I'm waiting for (the COPR appointment letter, most commonly known as the "prepare for landing" letter).
Good luck on your decision!.

Excellent news, my fellow inlanders!!!!!!!!...
'Approach for landing' instructions.
Nice brown envelope arrived in today's mail. This one is a normal letter size one (unlike the bigger and lighter ones with AIP or OWP in them), the word Canada stamped at the back. Heavier in weight as it has 3 pages in it.
In it finally, my COPR appointment!!... For the middle of next month!...
Yiiiiipppppppppppppppppy!.
Good luck everyone!,
Rob.

Mimi, I think your Spanish is great. I got my degree in Human Rights at a Uni in Latin America and a second one at a Uni in Europe. I found a potential volunteer position. I have an interview tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully this way I can start networking a bit more and keep myself busy.

mexicatica gracias por el aliento y por cierto estoy haciendo la ciencia politica con otros certificados.
after getting your PR try to apply at the provincial goverment they always hire people who are bilingual and education like yours

Buenos dias, Mimi... No ha habido noticias de CIC aun por aca, y tu tienes alguna?.
Your spanish is just fine Mimi, I think you are doing great!.

THANK YOU AGAIN, EVERYBODY!..
Thank you, it's nice to hear your congrats and that you care, fellow inlanders.
Gracias, MexicaTica, gracias Mimi!.

Any questions please ask, I'll be glad to at least tell you what is next during the process.
The application is only for me, yes. Sponsored by my wife who is canadian (born and raised here).
We have now a daughter, but she was born here in Toronto almost a year ago. This baby girl keeps me awake at nite since she wakes up about 3 times during the nite and I have to feed her, change her and hold her... Parenthood is awesome!.

COPR appointment letter from Scarborough, Ontario (my local office) reads like this:
