hi girls ! to take look the news from cic website ,,that's big change for us,,i'm still confuse ,,they are said : live -in caregiver class are based on how long it took to process 80% of all cases between April 1 st ,2011 and march 31 st ,2012.processing time are subject to change. i do not understand who inclued 80 %,who is 20%.. >:( i was apply my paper on Nov 1 ,2010. i got my owp Dec 3 2011 , i guess everyone got owp in same time last year,,i'm still waiting myPRcard ,,i'm so sad ! :(.. who have same situation ..we can discuss..is wait too long ..

we have the same timeline. are you single or married? and in what province? my owp remarks pending LIC meaning we dont have initial approval yet. if you are single they say its faster. when i check my Ecas still "IN PROCESS"

we are waiting for 20 months already and according to new processing times its 32 months so we have to wait another year. hayys

and before PR card..you have to get initial approval then interview and pay RPRF, and then PR card. its a very long long process...

hi guys, a few questions here =)

1) what does lc2 mean and is it available for download online or you can just get hold of it when they send you one?

2) after receiving OWP, approximately how long is the wait before my dependants receive a call (assuming they will receive it as i have been reading in the forum)

thanks a bunch =)

hello guys , im a bit confused , i applied for my PPr anf OWP last january2012, ive got my permit three months later, with the remarks ... your application for permanent residence has recieve initial approval... is that possible( im thankful though that ive got it sooner than the 22-23 months processing times for initial assessment)... is it safe to assume that in 2-3 months time, my dependents will recieve their LC2? and if the immigration tries to contact us., or the canada embassy manila, what number do they usually use? i dont have a caller ID, and sometimes i miss a call any info could help, thanks in advance

Hi maryanne22,

I have the situation here, I applied PR and OWP in Nov 2011, and I got my work permit in Feb 2012. the remark on my permit is LIC pending apr which is normal. I applied an OWP for my husband ( who was a student in Canada) in March 2012 and got his OWP in April 2012 which has the same expire date as mine. but the remark on his OWP is different--application for permanent residence has recieve initial approval. We thought they made a mistake or sth because it's only been 5 months since we applied and they already gave us a initial approval? I am so confused.And when i check my Ecas it's still application received in Nov,2011.

Did your husband sent his info on the CEM email?i believe the phone number that they use to all him will be the same number te CEM will use everytime they call him but just update your phone number just to be sure,we are not sure when or if they will sent the kit anymore

Hi, I am June 2010 applicant. Same... my family haven't receive LC2 kit yet. The Manila Embassy contacted my husband ( at work) last March 2012, but unfurtunately it is his day off. From then, they didn't call again. It is just hard because I tried to ask CIC and they told me that they can't give any updates of the application outside Canada. My husband sent an email to the LC2 kit unit, they replied once asking for file number but they don't have a file number because they haven't receive the LC2 kit. It is stressful.

The same thing happened to me. I'm 2010 applicant, and I got a letter from CIC last Dec. 2011 stating that the Manila Canadian Embassy will contact my family 3 mos after I got the mail. And it happened, they called twice in my husband's work office but he is not working that day. They didn't call again until now.

Your the one who has to follow up your application because your the primary applicant and had the client id number,you can put your file number when you make a follow up so the CEM can easily find your file,you have to inform them ASAP coz you have to sen the LC2 info to them in 15 days since the time they call you,good luck
 
I am an April 2010 applicant, got my OWP last Nov. 1, 2011 and CEM had acknowledge my dependents application last March 2011 until now no feedback to his application...been sending a couple of emails to CEM as well but sad to say got no reply..now how can i make a follow-up on his application?
