Been following and cheering you all on.

Next thing I guess is medical....if you have any ideas please let me know. Hope to send in with in the next month.

Congrats! Did you take a look at the DMP list? I would start calling asap, as sometimes there's not an open spot available for several days or perhaps weeks - *sometimes*, mind you.

[gypsy494]

Thanks ddobro

This is so stressful lol and I have only have begun.

 

[ddobro2]

I hear ya. Look at this way: we've all been where you are, so there is an end to the application putting-together process!

Thanks ddobro

What's the date of the AOR, not the date you got the email? If it's July 29, then that's it.

ECAS says my application is in process on july 29th under sponsorship (which was approved june 27th before)
AOR was received (according to the email from buffalo) on august 3rd.
so...i don't know what's going on with my application...date was so messed up
I was hoping someone can help me to explain :'(

 

[ddobro2]

So your AOR email reads, in part, "This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2011/08/03"? And you're already "in process" in e-cas??

Question for the border-hopping masses:

I'm in a potentially sticky situation. I am currently with my husband waiting this out in Montréal. I had had a work permit that has since expired, and I am on implied status until my new one gets approved. My best friend is getting married in the states on Nov. 11th, and as the maid of honor, I can't miss it, though assuming CIC will continue to be utterly useless, I dread the thought of what will happen should I have to re-enter Canada after the wedding with neither my work permit nor my PR approved. I've already been rejected at the border once, and I literally had recurring nightmares about it for about 6 months thereafter, so I want to know all I can about safely and painlessly procuring a (preferably multiple entry since I need to go home for the holidays too) visitor record.

Should my husband be with me at the border? Even if I bring fistfuls of proof of our PR sponsorship application and my Work Permit extension application, coupled with proof that I can financially support myself, will it be enough?

Congrats to everyone who received their PPR and IN PROCESS! I still haven't heard anything... Waiting sucks. I know I'm still within the timeframe of 11 months, but I can't help feeling hopeless. I think I'm the only one from the "December group" who's still waiting?

I sent an enquiry about my AOR and they responded " An Acknowledgement of Receipt letter was sent on August 3, 2011."
But yesterday my application status was changed. It shows We received your application on July 11, 2011. We started processing your application on July 29, 2011. under sponsorship while under permanent residence it is still We received your application on July 11, 2011

Don't worry about the sponsorship part saying the same thing as the PR part. That happens sometimes. So they got it the 11th of July and been looking at it almost 2 months. Just to clarify (yet again), did you ever see the original AOR they said they sent already when you inquired? I mean, it sounds like you didn't, or else you wouldn't have emailed them to confirm they had the app.

I know if you are on implied status you cant leave Canada and If you do your implied status will get dropped.I have a friend who works for immigration in Edmonton AB. and she informed me of this when I asked her about my situation when I was going to leave and go back to the states.
