It's amazing how little activity seems to squeak through.. it's a little sadistic because it just gives you guys a tiny bit of hope.. hate to watch everybody suffer like that :mad:

We got the same letter in July. This is your PPR, but Japanese citizens dont have to send in the physical passport. We sent extra pictures in with ours just to be safe.

CIC went on strike shortly after, so we have been in limbo waiting since.

exactly... my wife keeps asking me to check ecas etc.... The PPR request should be soon for us hopefully. But it seems like it will take at least 2 months after that now. Those pigs she bought for he lechon party are going to be HUGE

Sorry, but what is appendix A? My common law is Japanese and we didn't receive anything. Our ecas changed to in-process in July.

Appendix A is a form you fill out in the event you want to add any children to your application.

They should be your children of course......you just can't go around grabbing any old bunch of kids just hanging about.

Did you receive an email from CEM at all?

Has anyone heard of not receiving an email? (Besides them sending it to a wrong address)

Oh now that's smart! Raise your own pigs during the application process! If they are really huge she can just have one for Christmas.
