( Agh, wish I didn't have to go through this, wish no one had to go through this :| It is too much work and nerve wracking at times. Did u get yours or still waiting?? 
Cycyna said:Thanks GOGOGO, this is confusing and frustrating, some people say 15 days, some say months
And why would they ask for the passport if they won't stamp it? I mean US citizens are visa exempt, we don't need a visa to get into Canada, so I am lost with their whole passport or photocopy of passport and such....
I am sure we all learned something as you said, I know I learned something very important "Patience" lol, but I feel like I am running out of it againGOGOGO said:I know, the whole process is confusing and frustrating right from the beginning. On the plus side, I'm sure we all learned a lot throughout the process!
Yes, I'm still waiting. One complicated part of mine is that I need to get a police certificate from Hong Kong where I lived before, but they didn't process my request until the VO specifically asked for it. Now that I've forwarded them the VO's request and they are processing it, and hope they will send the result to VO soon.
Hope you get your COPR back soon! Congratulations again, and all the best on your landing (though you're already there)!
I was never a patient person, lol, I come see my husband almost every month, he can only come visit every 2 months or so do to his job. One part that was complicated for me is when they have returned our file to us because we forgot to sign one of the forms, then in Jan again they asked me for a Police certificate from France where I have lived before, I don't know how I never thought of that, so had to wait for that then sent it to them. Oh well, the COPR better get here soon, lol, so I can move all my things here, start looking for a job and start our family already.
CyCyna.....you should count your self lucky....My husband can only see each other every 4-6 months! I would love to see him every month! but i do still feel your pain....being apart for a small amount is still hard! We are on our way to being done!! hang in thereCycyna said:I am sure we all learned something as you said, I know I learned something very important "Patience" lol, but I feel like I am running out of it again

Hope the wait ends soon for everyone.
About the Buffalo spreadsheet, what is it about, never heard of it.
I am happy for you and it literally gave me goose bumps because I can feel your joy and happiness
Thank you! Anyone have any good experience with getting immigration photo's done in the States? My husband got his initial Appendix B photos (the ones we submitted) done at Black's Photography in Ontario... he had a lot of trouble finding somewhere to go for this in California (it seemed no one there had ever heard of immigration photos or any specs other than passport size... and they weren't willing to adjust sizes!)Cycyna said:The same actual specs of "Appendix B: Photo specifications"
Good luck
We went to sears...they didn't have the exact size but their software allowed us to adjust it manually to get the head size. They still printed out retry big so we had to cut on our own afterwards. Now I can't say if they worked cause I'm still in the sponsor approval stage but at least we got them done!Minnow said:
I got mine taken in California. Just get the usual US-style passport photos (which you can get practically anywhere), then trim them down according to the instructions from Immigration. Oh and confirm that the head size is acceptable before you pay - I think US and Canada have the same requirements there, but double-check just in case.Minnow said:
It is very difficult...my husband is in Minnesota and he had to get a few different ones done before it was right....he went to an independent photographer to get them doneMinnow said:
The head size is not the same unfortunatley....we made this mistake....you do need to be carefuldiadema said:
