If your new SWAP visa is not granted, you may also apply for a restoration of status as a visitor (during the processing time you will be out of status, but CIC is likely not to care if they see you've applied for a restoration). Hopefully you'll get good news on your PR before any of that is necessary. Good luck!
Thanks so much!! Yeah, I'm hoping I can just get away with coming as a vistor again after Christmas (given I don't get either visa by then), but I'll bring proof that I've applied for both and so ties to America. Thankfully, I have a Nexus pass so I really don't get a lot of questions anyways :)

AHH I've literally been OBSESSED with checking for my background check to start since yours already has!

The Nexus pass sounds really handy.

Honestly, for me, the hardest part has been waiting after the background check started. It's only been 9 days but I feel like I've been waiting 9 years. I guess it's hard because I know that's the final step before DM, my anticipation is so high!

Question about Nexus after PR, so my american hubbie has one like you, will he have to re-apply for one after his new status? can he apply for one as PR only? I haven't googled it I'm being lazy and asking you :)

I have no idea! I never really thought about it to be honest. I know you're supposed to update them with anything that changes, so I will definitely update whatever info I can on the website. I doubt you would have to apply for a different one since it's based on your citizenship and not your status. When you go through the borders, still use his nexus pass and if they ask, show the PR card...?

After a long wait for the sponsor approval "the very first step of my application", CIC agent just told me that I am approved as a sponsor today.

what a relief!!

My application received in the 26th of September 2016. AOR in 21st of October 2016. Since then I kept calling cic every week and checking ecas and mycic any time time I touch my phone with no updates ..
gotta be a good Friday

Wishing you a good luck

I think the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) should list one of the causation of OCD is due to family sponsorship application process ;D
