Thanks. I got nothing so far, so probably I shouldn't be expecting to receive an approval any sooner... :(
I'm really surprised at these timelines. Usually they're pretty close to what the site says. I had it marked on my calendar next week was my week. I was in the Buffalo thread and saw that someone who submitted on Nov 15 got approved in a month! They must have gotten some of the files mixed up. I'm sure yours will be here soon. :) It's possible you're already approved but just got an officer who sends things via snail mail rather than email.

Yes I got the same letter, though there are rumors in Damascus thread that the files are being transferred to other visa offices, actually one guy said he received a phone call today from Damascus and the lady on the phone told him his file is going to be transferred to Ankara! I really don't know what's going on!

Hi All,

I have a question. My wife has a multiple entry canadain visit visa which is valid for one year ? She has come to canada twice after applying the PR , that is during the US thanks giving and the new year. Will that effect her PR application process. I mean delay in approval.We have submitted the copy of her visit visa with all passport pages along with her sponsor application.

Thanks

What I find strange is that CIC give's us a UCI number to check our status, yet there is no record available yet. Maybe they do this
to drive people crazy! haha At least it could report AOR email sent ;)

Thanks for your words of encouragement!

It really seems things aren't treated in a linear way... I'm checking the mailbox every single day to see if anything arrives, but we got nothing yet.

I got to Canada this week with a student visa, couldn't take the waiting at distance. Now I hope my PR comes before the end of the trimester so that we don't end up with a huge student debt - but it will still be worth it having come in case it doesn't...

Next week is us!

I don't think so. Actually I read somewhere that entering Canada under another status does not have any influence whatsoever in your process, and that's why I applied for a student visa - with which I entered Canada without any problems a few days ago.

Also, I spent three months here before filing my application, left for 15 days, re-entered for our wedding and then stayed for three other months - I asked CIC whether it would be a problem and they said that it didn't change anything.

However, I filed my application on Nov 10th and I still haven't heard anything from them. If staying after filing for sponsorship is a problem, then it explains their silence...
