Hey Argy! I am new to this forum but am Canadian sponsoring my common-law partner who is from Argentina. Since you have gone through (successfully!) the process that we began in April, I have a question for you: In regards to the PCC - did it suffice to simply translate (certified) the print-out that they give you on the website and send that in? And secondly - we just found out that our app is being sent back because of missing documents. I am pretty sure that they are referring to my partner's birth certificate (no me preguntes CóMO lo faltamos.. me estoy auto-castigando muchísimo jaja!!). Can you tell about how you went about providing this? Did you simply photocopy the original and have that notarized and translated? Did you get the one that you can ask for online and have that translated and notarized?
Sorry to bombard you with questions, but it's nice to find someone who has dealt with the same country's beaurocracy!!
Saludos!!

Hola Geógrafa,

Are you applying Outland, I guess? REMEMBER to ask for PCC "con execpcion al Cod 51" it needs to be at least 6 months old only, I ve got it in Buenos Aires within 1 hour by asking Express Certificate, if you do it through the Embassy in Montreal it will take a LONGER We sent the print copy from the web site to an official translator in Ontario, (believe or not it's faster and cheaper than doing it in BA) She did the translation but we didn't notarized it. We only sent the translated copy.
I wasn't asked to provide MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE, as far as I remember, but my husband Canadian citizen he did, and he also provided a copy of his PASSPORT. I remember we were asked to provide a COPY of our Marriage Certificate cause we sent The Record of Marriage, it was not accepted. So all these little "details" if you omitte them makes your Application stand by. They usually give you 30 days to provide the docs

Lucky... my application took 2 months in transit to Mexico from Toronto .. until May9th when they started processing the PR Application finally... I have a question about requesting notes how does that work?

 

[Zehcnas]

I sent a request for GCMS notes today.

My background check is still saying next step is a background check. Since April 12th they have acknowledged my wife's "Antecedentes Policiales". Was going to wait for the full 6 months which would be about June 5th but couldn't wait any longer.

I've already paid the RPRF on March 22nd.

New look in MyCIC
It is saying that they are reviewing additional documents. But also that they need additional documents. I swear i'm gonna be so pissed if they tell me that they are waiting for the original copies of the "Antecedentes Policiales" when they accepted the scanned copies.

Should I send the original copies now?

I really hope it is that mycic has just not been updated because I already made an inquiry as to why it doesn't say background check in progress.

At least you send a scanned copy, My lawyer didn't want to send an scanned copy, because the originals were lost thanks to UPS, so we have to re do/re apply them and now we lost a month. The RCMP were fast, and everything was going well for us until UPS messed it up!!

Hey fellow Mexico VO applicants.. we are getting impatient here.

We filed our app back in September 2016, got transferred to MVO in December but didn't get offical AOR2 until March. They asked for new medicals which we sent right away. Since then, we've been stuck on eligibility review. SO slow! What do you guys think, a couple more months??

Ok, we finally got the COPR yesterday! The wait is over.
PPR was sent to us on May 17. Sent everything the next day by email - scan of passport, PDF of Fedex prepaid shipping label, address confirmation. They sat on it for almost 3 weeks before sending back the COPR with all the photos and notarized statutory declarations that we submitted to prove common-law. By the way our outland application was submitted while spouse was out of status in Canada, and never left.
Total processing time - 10 months.
