**MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

[kcward7]

Thank you for all your help. If what you explained is the case, that is a very tedious process then. Oh well, lets see what happens.

It's not that bad, really. You will get the request, you will submit what they ask for, they will send it back, and you land. It's the way it works.

True, but my concern is that it's a bit risky mailing in the passport all the way from the US to India, and then India mailing it back to the US, if that's the case. But if that's how it has to be done, then that's what it is.

I know, gotta be done though!

How long ago was it issued? Is it from a country you have previously lived in, or from where you currently live?

I'm guessing you sent it WITH the application?

Issued May 2017 from U.S. (currently living here). I applied in October 2017 -- so it still falls within the 6 months of the issued date and application date, but I didn't send it in until they asked for it in January. I think it should be ok.

Anyone know, roughly?

Sorry Jeff, I have no idea.

I landed as PR today in Victoria, BC. Worked half day today and will have my first full day in the office tomorrow, really looking forward to the first paycheck since August last year!
The whole process for me took about 13 months.
Mississauga took over 12 1/2 months to process my case, Ottawa took less than a week to send me COPR (they received my papers Feb 2nd, and Feb 8th the return package was on its way).

Had a good landing experience after spending last night in Port Angeles, WA. I actually knew the immigration officer who did the landing process for me, he's a soccer dad in the same team my son plays.
After 13 months of waiting, I still got frustrated with 1 1/2 hour wait at Service Canada to get my SIN#...

Congrats! So glad for you. I know it's been a long wait!

patience my friend.
they are saying up to 12 months so you cant expect to hear from them so soon.
some people take 5 months others take all 12 months..each case is individual and is treated that way.
heres a spreadsheet for 2017
applicants....have a look at the rest..youll see how long others have taken.

Congrats! We’re moving to Victoria (well, Brentwood Bay) too! March 10.

Hah! That's awesome. We'll all be neighbors - we will be in the Victoria area too: probably Sooke.

Well damn, if I didn't just login to CIC -- admittedly feeling a little OCD about my daily check-ins -- and find that we've been knocked into BCG state!!!

Woot!

Probably not entirely unrelated to the fact that, yesterday, I lodged my request for my first set of GCMS notes...
