re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Has anyone on here tried flying to the US before they got their PR Card? That is when they still had their paper COPR? When I landed the lady at the counter mentioned that I should check with the...

Yeh take the day ECAS changed to DM and add 7-9 days, that'd be when I'd expect you'd roughly receive it.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

It should take about 7-9 days. That's to Toronto.

When you say you got a 'decision email' you mean they told you by email a decision had been made right? To be honest this means very little, I...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

April-June in 2012 were the slowest applications. Some taking close to a year. So it really depends if this was a one off or if it was due to 'seasonal' factors...

If he could log into ECAS he will see the exact same update. If you have a file number or something he can use that. I'm not entirely sure how you get this as the applicant because I (the...

Stage 1 info (Canada) - Shows up only on sponsors ECAS
Stage 2 info (London) - Shows up on both sponsors and applicants ECAS.

The applicant may get a UCI number (which will be different than the...

- Congrats on the good news!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

It means they have matched your medical results (which are stored in a centralised database) to your file. This means most likely the file is in London.

Timeline from this status to DM varies...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

You should be fine. Where are you in Canada? I know that to Toronto the COPR is taking around 6-8 days.

The main thing to keep an eye on is ECAS. Most times if you get the change to DM on ECAS...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Awesome congrats! Good timing!

My advice: wait a few days (maybe till next Wed) and see if either (1) ECAS changes to DM or (2) the COPR arrives in the post. If neither of these happens email...

Where you based? And can you expand a little more on what sort of positions you're looking for other than project management or admin type work?

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

One other tip. Take some online courses or any other courses you can find. The main reason a company will want to hire a Canadian over you is they know the 'local market' more. If you can show...

Pat.Sue - Yup you can get a TWP with the LMO. It won't affect your PR at all, all you'll have to do is when your PR arrives take a trip to the US border to exit Canada and come back in as a PR -...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

COPR, some proof of address in Canada if you're already here and if you're bringing stuff/having stuff sent on you will have to fill out a form - I think it's called G4 or something like that.
