HI Saig

I had an interview at Canadian embassy in Stockholm on 26th of january and the interview was approved right away on the desk but the officer told me that there would be a background check and since then i have been waiting for the ppr. I check the email and the mail every day and nothing yet.. I called the embassy last week and the guy who interveiwed me has checked the file for me and told me the background check is still in process and that i would hear something this week or the next so i am looking forward to it right now. I am gonna involve the MP if i won't hear something by friday.

No i have not provided any details of where i have worked and studied, plus the interview was approved. Was your interview approved when you had the interview and what was the last word of the officer who interviewed you? I know background checks take quite a long time but we hope it is gonna work out for both of us soon..

Did you apply in the family class or skilled worker? This is a thread for people who are being sponsored by family, with 80% of cases completed in 7 months.

4 years is a long time to wait, you should really try and find out whats going on. Send a case specific enquiry.

It changed to Decision Made.
They said they'd send a letter but I didn't get anything (surprise surprise!) so I emailed and got an email copy of the letter back.

Yay Bonitanita you've found us! The outlanders! COPR=Confirmation of Permanent Residency. It is what I am hoping is going to drop into my letterbox tomorrow morning. Get Pinklady to add you to the spreadsheet once you have posted your application off (send everything inc. police certs, medicals etc to missisauga. Oh and one other tip....pay the Right of Permanent Residency Fee up front. It will save you probably a couple of months if you do this. Total fees including the RPRF is $1040.

Hello Imran,
what type of documents they asked for? because if they have received the requested documents on 7th of february and your case is pretty straight forward then in my opinion you will hear from them before your visa or medical expires but if they wanted to confirm whether the relationship is genuine or not they might call you for an interview.

in case of an interview, it will take longer than the time your visa has left. I will suggest you to inform them about the circumstances immidiately and ask your wife to involve her MP and get the latest update, this will help you determine how long will it take more to get your visa, Good Luck
