OCTOBER 2014 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS!

[tupas.alyssa]

Hello,

I just got an email from MANILA IMMIGRATION CANADA. They are requesting my original passport, original NBI clearance, Marriage Certificate, Advisory on Marriages and my Original Birth certificates.

Here's the email they sent me.

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

accompanying you to Canada or not. Passport details are not required for any family member who
is not accompanying you to Canada.
 Original Passport(s) for you and each family member who will accompany you to Canada
To ensure timely processing and facilitate your travel, we strongly recommend that you submit
the new red-coloured passports currently being issued by the Philippines authorities as they are
in compliance with the machine-readable passport Requirement of the International Civil
Aviation Organization.
 Original and Valid National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance for every family member
age 18 and over (travelling to Canada), issued within the last six months, with thumbprint and dry
seal affixed. Please send us the original copy. “Personal Copy” is not accepted. DO NOT FAX

Anyone who received the same email? Why are they requesting for my passport already?

Many visa office such as Manila ask for your passport in the very early stage of the application and keep it with them.

You will get specifics details in the Manila thread and they are in a better position to respond to their queries.

Just venting a little bit. It's been 5 moths since CIC received my application and nothing. I can't take this waiting, this is a test of my patience and it seem like I have NONE!. I'm checking e-cas 4 to 5 times a day and my email every 20 minutes, like a crazy nut and still nothing. No movement since December. It's so hard being apart from my husband, I try to stay positive by thinking that every day that goes by, is a day closer to us being together. I'm hoping he's here by May, June the latest, but that may be wishful thinking on my part.

Anyways congratulations to those who are seeing movement and to those still waiting, keep thinking positive and just remember how much you love your spouse. I hope we see some movement very soon, like tomorrow...LOL! I'm gonna pray extra hard tonight for all of us, that CIC lights a fire under their ass and starts processing and sending PPR's and decisions by the end of the month. If it works, someone in this group can buy me a virtual round. ;D

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted on here in a few months, glad to see some people are advancing in the process! I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions for me:

1. We received AOR from the VO in Mexico today along with a request for an updated Schedule A Background / Declaration form (IMM 5669). We have 15 days to submit this info, can we do so by email??

2. When we applied in October, we were living in Chile and we have since relocated to Toronto. My husband (applicant) is here as a "tourist" and will apply for an extension if he passes 6 months here before his PR is approved, however my question is should I notify the Mexico visa office that we are now living here? I know tons of people apply via the outland application while living in Canada so I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me.

Thanks!

1. it will specify in the letter how to send the requested form. if it doesn't specify a physical address, then it's probably asking you to email it.
2. the only thing he needs to notify the visa office about is if his mailing address has changed since he applied. if he plans to be in canada when he is approved, then he wants to change his mailing address with CIC. CIC will send all notifications to him at the mailing address listed in the application.

Hey guys, great discussions on this forum. One question regarding the pictures/proof that's required for the outland (or inland) sponsorship package, what format do the pictures need to be in? Can I include pictures with captions in a word document? Is that acceptable? Please advise.

Hi,
I submitted my photographs in hard copies (printed on matt finish kodak photo paper) and I hand wrote the dates, locations and the names of the people in the pictures.
I submitted about a little over 100 photos of my spouse and my dating days (2 years) and also our wedding photos featuring family members and our honeymoon photos and all the photos from the trips we took together.
It was a painstaking process to write all the details at the back, but that's what my husband & I did.

Hope this helps!

Good luck.

Hey,

We organized the photos in MS-Word about 3-4 photos per page and wrote descriptions under it and printed it in regular A4 paper.

Hello All,

I am new to this. I currently reside in the US and my husband is a Canadian citizen sponsoring me from Canada. We sent our application September 30th of last year and got our AOR in October ( I really do not remember what date). He got approved as my sponsor on 11/27/14 and my CSQ got approved on 2/12/15. I called CPC-O today and they told me that they do not have a CSQ on file for me and he called the MICC in Quebec and they assured him that they had sent a copy of my CSQ to CPC-O. Now I do not know who and what to believe. Secondly, my Ecas still says "we received your application for PR on 10/23/14" when does it change to Medicals received etc... I know that on the website is stipulates that processing times take about 15 months. However, from what I have been reading it takes about 6 to 8 months for a sponsored person to get their PR.

I will appreciate some responses.

Thanks Alot!

Anyone still waiting for aor2 ?

 

[mimosa86]

Hi everyone,

I am going through a European office (I see a lot of India on here and Phillipines)... We applied in late Oct, got our AOR in Jan and today I got a passport request! I know in Philippines they request the passport ahead of time and hold on to it (unless rumours) but in our case I am confident it'll get returned within 7 days - says so in the letter. We never got AOR2 and our ECAS still says Received only for part 2. I wouldn't obsess as they probably manually update it. GOOD LUCK!
