Finally looks like the Mississauga office think it's time to get closer to finalizing my application.
Jan 16th 2017 applicant.

Jan 5 2018, request for updated Schedule A. Sent it the same day.
Jan 23, request for proof of sponsor's intent to return to Canada. My wife, the sponsor, lives in Canada since September 2017. Already sent the contract of the house we bought in Victoria BC to IRCC in September. I reminded them that they already have that on file and now also sent copies of my wife's BC Driver's Licence, BC Services Card, and utility bills for gas and electricity.
Jan 23, first online account update since March last year, "we are processing your background check".

I feel a bit hopeful now that they may actually finish this soon...

Fingers crossed for you Frosti. It's been a long wait!

Has anyone in the UK had request for evidence of intent and got approved? I' just trying to see how long usually it takes to approve

Thanks

Hi Twinny, yes, technically we did but just included it with the initial application as previously discussed. Got SA pretty quickly and have now just received Decision Made on ECAS and the arrival services letter. Pretty quick timeline from 6 Sep to now with Mississauga processing. SA was on 28 Oct 17.

So are all of you folks getting processed in Mississauga / Ottawa, US citizens or Permanent Residents?

Neither, my wife (the PA) is British and we are currently living in UK with our kids. We has expected to be processed by London VO so being retained at CPC-M was a surprise.
 
with the pre arrival email...

is it a must for you to register with the services or just a recommendation?


Hi! @linnykez @HockeyNightInCanada I got DM and pre-arrival email both last January 19th, been waiting for a week now, still no PPR. Please let us know here when you get your PPR. Thank you. Congrats!

You are visa-exempt so you only need to send a photocopy, not the physical passport :)

thank you (:

any advice on the return self addressed envelope and using a courier? (it says not to send a courier envelope as your return envelope)
and also, how to upload the appendix A form to myCIC? there is no where to upload the form and the form itself wont let me enter any info. so do i have to print it all out and scan it in?

im feeling silly and lost.

Also neither. I am Canadian living in Austria with my husband and kids. Seeing how we live in Vienna, we were expecting to be processed in Vienna but we got the email saying we were being processed in Mississauga. It was a total surprise.
