Thank you.... However, we couldn't link spouse and my details in the CIC application.

Is it normal?

Where can we check its approval status as my spouse and kid are planning to go back to my native place within 10 days??

Note: As of now, we didn't get any emails from CIC.. is it normal??

Thanks.

Try again linking and make sure that while attempting to do so, you enter THE EXACT birth place as printed on their passports. E.g. CITY NAME, STATE (put a space after the comma, if it is written that way in passports). I think that should work. All the best!

Landed 14 September and still no update on my application.

- Application status: "We're processing.."
- Eligibility: "We're reviewing.."
- Additional docs: "We're reviewing your additional docs.." even though I didn't submit any nor got a request to.
- Final decision: "Application in progress.."

Same for my my application and spouse's.

Please do make sure that you have the proper paperwork for the shipping ... When I shipped mine, I prepared the shipping docs and got the same forwarded to me.

Hi,
Did your studio guy take a fresh picture when you brought the sizing issue to his attention or did he just edit the pic and have you the print photos after editing?

He took a fresh pic

What are the stages this application goes through?
 
What are the stages this application goes through?
As far as I know, basically like this:

1. Landed (and then you can link your PR card application to MyCIC to see the status)
2. Status change in MyCIC
(2.5 - new photo request in some cases)
3. Approved in MyCIC
4. Delivered

Am I right? :)

PR card of My friend who sent his photos on 02/10/2017 has been approved yesterday. He doesn't know when CIC received the photos.

So, they started processing photo received in Oct 2017.
Thanks For updating. My wife's photos were sent on 4th Oct, received by CIC on 6th Oct. Seeing the timeline it should be approved by Tuesday :)
 
Hi,

What are you referring to when you wrote about "shipping docs"?

In my case I was getting them shipped from Canada to USA. I had prepared the shipping label in Fedex. I also prepared the Commercial Invoice (which can be done while preparing the shipment on Fedex website). Once I had all of these, I emailed electronic copies of the same to my contact in Canada and they were able to just take a printout of these and ship.

For people in the US, this process is familiar because after PPR, we are (typically) required to send passports to Canada Ottawa CPC, and not Local Visa Office. And sending them involves including an envelop with return labels.

In case of PR cards, all I had to do was generate the return labels.

Regarding the commercial invoice, people in the US are experiencing issues in the return process if they do not have a commercial invoice. It seems, sometimes the package gets held up by US Customs since they are not sure what is in the package. Having a commercial invoice helps avoid that. I'm not sure if this is 100% certain info but many people know about this and some recommend the same.

The commercial invoice itself was not a big deal, since I just declared that the package contains immigration documents with commercial value of $1 (commercial value has to be greater than 0 for Fedex website to generate commercial invoice).

Both the times (when getting passports back with CoPR, and when getting PR Cards), I had no issues with US customs.

Hope this helps

-S.
