Congratulations to everybody who received good news.

I'm still waiting.... :(

Dralon and Sauga, is it worth contacting the MP? I'm at 6 and half months now...Not sure if I should just wait a little longer, or take action. this is getting ridiculous at how long we are having to wait :(
I contacted mine, like i said on friday, the person from the MP office called me to get supplemental info to send a request to get information. I have a feeling they are actually ordering the caips notes for free. Anyway he said 10 opens days max let see what happen. On the other hand the bad thing is i lost my cell phone today :S so it will be hard for them to contact me for the next 2 days

Oh no! That's the dumps! Hopefully you'll get good news. I will see if I hear anything in the next two weeks then I will probably contact them. I'm missing my first family Thanksgiving :( I want to at least see them for Christmas. Also my mother is having open heart surgery on Nov. 16th and I am not going to be able to be there in fear of not being admitted back into Canada. :( :( :( Sucks soo much. Pray for her that it goes smoothly. Thanks everyone in advance :/

gotta take the good with the bad I guess. :(

My husband landed on October 5th and no PR card so far. The CIC site says the process currently takes 27 business days (i.e. counting weekdays only and not including weekends). So by my calculations, that means the wait is at least six week by the time you factor in mailing time. Here's the link:

PPR EMAIL TODAY!!! I'm pretty excited. I was in Canada on vacation until tomorrow and did not expect to receive it so quickly! Pretty happy right now. My file was transferred to Detroit and it took 15 days from then. Pretty awesome. Going to be so proud to be Canadian/Quebecois!

received news from my MP and the answer is quite distressing for me and makes be really angry

Immigration never sent the fact that my wife was accepted for CSQ so yes in a way they are only waiting for that............. the problem was she got accepted June 7th

For all that goes through Quebec i highly suggest you make follow up on them they do not seem to be trust worthy

omg!! that is ridiculous! so MP does help unless ur stuck like me in a background check!!! i really hope u hear something soon then, ur MP usually calls the head office of CIC!!!

i should get a reply from CSIS in less than a month and i hope my BC is done and CIC hasnt followed up yet!!!!
