Tnx. My husband and I are from Iran, but he has living in Germany.

Congratulations Iranian friends. I wish you a great, happy and productive life together in your chosen country.

I had many Iranian friends when I lived in the US back in the 70's

Where are you guys settling?

Tom,
thank youu i feel very very fortunate, i did not expect this at all. The processing officer must of really liked me, ( or maybe its my status here in canada as i am an engineer) i dont no but as other people say there are so many external factors. I wish the best of luck to everyone here and hope for a speedy acceptance, as i no this is not something easy to be waiting on.

Hi Endrit

One's professional or social status in Canada does not make him/her preferable against others when it comes to this process. Your file was definitely more clear, proven stable relationship, and had a pinch of luck. If you can take a look at the spreadsheet you will see that back in 2012 and 2011 there were some similar cases where people got the COPR in less than 6 months! In this thread in the past we had Doctors, Engineers Architects etc. so the status is not considered here.

By all means the result is what counts and your case will give many people hope that soon they might have the same luck!

All the best again in your new life with your wife in Canada!

Well said Tom! Thanks in my name.

Congratulations Ljiljana and Irsa!! Ljiljana, wow, that was fast... Did you decide whether your husband is going home or no? Maybe you can go to DHL or FedEx and ask them how long it would take. It is a short time, but maybe they can do it. . It's still 11 business days.
My COPR was valid till March 25 too, but I didn't have updated address so it would be too complicated to send update to Vienna, then send COPR back to them and request to send to to Canada so I went to Croatia.
Good luck!

Hi Jelena, yes we are really happy - our processing time was 11 months (more or less) and we are so grateful! My hubby has decided to travel to Vienna TODAY to pick up his COPR in person since we contacted both DHL and UPS on Friday and they said that this kind of delivery was not possible, FedEx was possible but there was an entire process behind it and since we are super short on time we just bought a plane ticket on Friday for today to be sure, my hubby is going to pick it up himself. He is landing in Canada on March 21 with his PR Yeeeeyy!!!
We sent an e mail to Vienna on Friday saying that he will be arriving in person to pick up his COPR, after 11 months of being ignored they replied that this is fine and to be there during open hours Monday - Thursday 8:30- 10:30 am..

I must just say for everyone who is waiting - don’t be discouraged by your notes as our case has shown that in January of this year our security had not been even started, medical just started processing. In Feb we received a request for an update on Schedule A, everything was done in March.. They can obviously speed things up when they want to.. or I really don’t know what the case is..

Thanks everyone for the nice wishes I hope everyone stays strong and positive and most important gets their PR's!!!!!!!!

Ljiljana

My documents I sent to Vienna a week ago are still not there. Tracking since Tuesday says: Item left Canada. Where has it been in the last 6 days? Floating in the Atlantic Ocean? I paid 73 dollars for Express mailing with Canada Post. I should have paid more and used FedEx or UPS. Patience is not my strength ??? :'(

Congrats to everybody who received COPR in the last few days ;D

My patience is gone down the drain already, going crazy to say the least.

I can understand you. 1.5 years since you've applied. That's a nightmare. I'm almost at 11 months (still way less than you) and regret so much that I applied through Vienna. I had the chance to go through Ottawa and didn't know it at the time I applied. But now it's too late anyways. "If I would have..." doesn't help me now.

It just sucks because I'm pretty sure in case they finally believe that we're common-law they will ask for a new police certificate and maybe a new medical. A waste of time because my PCC was already expired when they asked for additional documents.

I saw someone in this forum getting COPR through Australia in less than 3 months after filing the application. Also common-law and with less documents I sent in. Every VO should work the same and request the same documents. It's not a fair process

Can someone please tell me what I should be expecting.. we recently got asked for proof of ongoing communication, and then a month later for PC and chest x-ray. How much longer.. im not one to complain but this system has no idea what its doing to us. I want to do nothing but cry because im so frustrated. My(our) life is on pause. Someone who is from the same country as me got PPR 6 months after they applied, me ive been waiting 13 months almost with no end in sight. I just feel like i get my hopes up for them to be shut down immediately. I feel bad for my family and friends because the stress and frustrations is taken out on them, and im angry all the time. How can i be positive when i dont know when my life is going to start. i didnt see my husband for a year before going to visit him for Christmas, and now its been 2 months since ive seen him. I cant imagine spring/summer coming and me not see him again. Do they not understand that we cant afford to take these trips, we cant get time off work because you know what, bills have to be paid. And at the rate theyre going with doc requests, we have to work our a**es off to pay for all the remeds the mail etc. I just wish someone would tell me an exact date of when my husband will be here, how long it will take to clear everything so i can start planning for things. I know we're all in thw same boat but when i hear that someone got processed in 6 months while theres some of us waiting 12+ months, i cant help but feel anger and frustration that it's not fair accross the board.

Sorry for my rant, its almost 2 am and i cant sleep because im so stressed!

I totally understand u....i am in the same boat, still waiting sine january 2013, im overdue 2 days with baby, im thinking it wants to wait for its father.... Im going crazyyy....same thing they asked us for proof of ongoing relationship, and 7 days after they asked for new PC. So now theres noooo way he will be here any time soon, which really sucks. But theres nothing we can do, its just our luck

BumpAhead, you are still in one piece?
It must be very difficult for you right now, with you hormones going crazy and waiting for the baby.
Be strong, this nightmare will end soon.

Nada3,

Have you heard anything from VO about your case? I think you said you would send the case specific enquiry last week. Any news?

Don't lose hope. I think both of our husbands will get the visa soon.
