Hey guys!!! Im sadly back from Jamaica :'( and about to get this ball rolling. So Kingston emailed my husband asking him to pay the remaining fees ($490 Right of Permanent Residence fee) we are doing that tomorrow and then see what happens from there. Im gonna request my 2nd sets of notes in November to see what progress has been made.

I have never heard of them allowing spouses either so I would love to know as well

Here is some info from cic.gc.ca that talk about interviews. We as spouses have every right to be there. First they will talk to the person being sponsored then th spouse/family. Good if you have kids to bring them too.

What you should expect at the interview?

You, your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children may be asked to come to the interview. The visa officer may ask, among others, about your:

relationship to the sponsor
education,
reasons for emigrating
plans and preparations
family
your health
your financial situation
past difficulties with the law
Note: There may also be questions to determine your ability to settle successfully in Canada.


Congratulations to the latest round of newly minted PR's. Hopefully September applicants are next up and we get thru as easily.

Mawnin everyone

Sassy..yes jus a reciept he has to take in...what they sent himto redo the medicals was similar to the reciept they gave the first time when he did the first set of medicals


Helpmeplease....my husband has came to canada off and on for 4 years everytime for a years time....thing is upon submitted the papers i too was confused about the RCMP check ...Now as most people have done one i did not...i was told i didnt need one....that canada does there own and if the high commission requires you to do one they will let you know....

It makes sense people with deportations overstayes them stuff would be proactive and do one....just because more than likely they would ask for it...just like in glogirls situation..

But as everyone all knows i have thus be asked to redo police clearances and ,medicals and they still never asked for it......

Thus making the information provided to me correct.. thing is my husband never overstayed and was never in any wrong doings....making it the reason why they never asked for one.

See the 5 mark things is washy....like stated on the websight that 18 years and older need to complete a police check...well that didnt hold tru..they asked my newly turned 17 year old step daughter to complete a police check delaying us more.....and have thus asked her again and she still isnt 18....do you see what i am trying to get at.....

I mean this is my personel expirience with that....definatly not speculation...as for the 5 months thing....hmmmm its really hard to say...was ur husband deported overstayed ??? if so i would get one them regardless of the 6 months rule....But if all was good and he left when he was suppose to...your good.....trus mi when i say this....we never had to do one and he has been coming to canada for 4 years at 1 year at a time....but at the end of the day the IO makes the final decision....i also was told if they get any hits on the name runnin it in canada they may also ask for a rcmp check...the luck of the draw

I do recall someone right at the end of there processing being asked for a check from the usa...but this man was always on water never on land...weird huh

But i am for sure with the info i have provided you with.......as per RCMP checks pertaining to one with visas whom were in no ways in trouble with overstay criminality ect ect

Ladies whom have thus submitted a RCMP check i am only mearly giving my personel expirience regarding this....i also had found on the cic websight ifo regarding the police checks for canada here it is

I looked for instruction for completing a police check and this is what info they provided......thus showing what cerain cases they require one for (cuz we never were asked for one) deportation overstay ect

So to be proactive and do one for anyone with similar situations to some of the ladies on here like sassy and glo i would definatly get one done

Canada is the exception to a UP FRONT police check.....so no one has to submitt one.....and can wait for them to request it....but who the heck wants to wait and delay there case.....i am sure no one here.....its bare crap that they do not provide info on whom exactly needs one to whom doesnt....

But hopefully my situation provides some light on whom doesnt have to .....
[if a police check is requested by RCMP this is good. It's a fast process. For approximately $57CDN, he will get his finger print done which is sent electronically to RCMP within five minutes. If there is no offences on record he will get a positive report in the mail 3-7 business days. Other wise it may be a little longer , up to 7 months.

Hey all!

So glad to hear that you guys were tricky! Good move.
Now we can get things back to normal. That was just insanity. IF she happens to find us here, please let's all agree now to not even acknowledge a single post from her and then she'll go away.

This part of the process has been so tough ..... just hurry up & wait! I hope we get our AOR soon ... or a request for original documents. 28 days until our trip down - 3rd time this year!
I am hoping that one of us get an update next week.

Interested - anyone order CAIPS (?) notes - if so, when? And was there anything on them helpful to you?

Again, thanks so much for taking action and getting us back together.

take care! homesoon


I have ordered CAIPS notes on CIC website for $5 CDN. It should take maximum 30 days to receive. Will update you.]

All my 5 attempts failed...I added 2 and 4 to the number of persons on the account as I have 2 non accompanying dependents. Seem like nothing at IRCC is straight forward
[same here. Unsuccessful]

Hey everyone,

It's been a pretty frustrating/ disappointing wait with KVOs processing times. The hothead in me says lets all go out there block road and light some tires demanding "wi waan justice" but I'm learning to be civil It turns out when more manpower is put into clearing backlogs the focus is clearing more recent applications in a more timely manner so they don't become part of the pre-existing backlog. Doing this improves processing time stats in the interim. That's great for new apps but it also means that those of us who have been waiting longer will continue to wait longer. Regardless, let's be of good courage and wait because we have life, we've each found the love of our life and soon we'll be starting new lives when we're reunited with our spouses!

Praying for miracles and good news all around. Come on KVO yuh Likkle but yuh tallawah I believe in you!!!
[i was a bit worried when I was advised that my file would be sent to Kingston, Jamaica to be processed. Persons whose application was processed in Canada was shorter. However, I took a positive approach, as they had access to my life for over 35 years of living in Jamaica. Kingston has been very responsive, professional and respond by web form with updates. They are moving pretty fast it's now 13 months or 17 months for processing, most person I know has been processed in 8-10 months]

 

[Bigredgal1]

For the last little while it seems ppl get contacted right after the one yr mark so u just never know, what was your due date on the notes ?
[you should request notes on your file or ask your MP to communicate with Kingston Visa Office. I heard from them approximately 4 months after they received file/ in process.]

 

[Bigredgal1]

How quickly are the inland getting through now? Is it the 13 months?
[inland is 26 months. If your are both residing in canada and apply for Outland it is 13 months. If you are residing in two different country 17 months]
