Hello @ Annaj,
When you say your case was straightforward, what do you mean? I have not received anything from CIC, and it has been 45 days since I submitted my application. I have lived in canada for over 8 years. First as a student, then as a worker for 3 years. Do you think that constitutes as straightforward?
Also, when you say decision made, do you mean you have received your PR?
I did not receive anything from CIC for 44 days, so you not hearing anything for 45 is completely normal. Most people applying in sept didnt hear for around the high 40's 50's. And when you finally receive word, it's usually SA (Sponsor Approval).
Decision made, is my application was approved. So I will be getting Permanent residency, but there's still a wait to receive my COPR, and I think before that they may request for my Passport.
I feel my application was straight forward because I have been with my husband just over four years and included solid proof of this. For that entire time we have lived together. We have been married just over a year. So that is a lot easier compared to, say, a couple who have only known each other for a year, or cases where a lot of the relationship has been long distance.
I was not effected by any updated forms. (I feel so bad for those that were effected by that, so incredibly frustrating for them!)
We don't have any kids, that helps.
Also my husband - the sponsor - is well educated, has a well payed job, same employer for over ten years. I have always worked since living here, have a well paid job with a solid education, we have proof of being financially comfortable. Not that any of that matters, but im sure it helps the cic officer feel a little more positive about giving me residency.
Also I'm Australian and I believe there is a strong relationship between Australia and Canada
