Congratulations! It means you have to "land" by 8th Feb, which must be a year after your medicals.

thanks Caleo, i was so excited I didn't read the appendix at the bottom of the letter!

Here's our timeline for info (we're going to Quebec):

1) Application received in Missasauga - 23rd February 2011
2) Decision made 20th March 2011
3) CSQ application sent 23rd March 2011
4) CSQ received 20th April 2011
5) Request from London for a copy of our CSQ on 4th May 2011 because the Quebec Govt never forwarded them a copy.
6) Email requesting passport 27th May 2011

Just over got to wait for the passport to be returned now

Hey richard37, you're about a week in front of me and about 5 or 6 others that I know of.

Anyway, hope it all goes smoothly for you, and for you, me and all the others with similar timelines.....

Morning - just received an update in ecas stating

"We received XXX application for permanent residence on March 31, 2011.

We started processing XXX application on May 27, 2011.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on XXX application. The office will contact XXX concerning this decision."

Is this normal and the type of response people have received or is it something to be concerned about?

Cheers,

LZA

Mrs-G

That's what we got - you or OH should hopefully get an email or letter from them shortly... usually asking for passport!

LZA

Thank you for the prompt reply Mrs-G, really appreciate it. That is certainly reassuring to know that you received the same notification. I feel more nervous than ever before though.

Duewest

My wife-to-be will be sponsoring me and we will be applying outland through London. It seems that London is processing pretty fast. Is 4 to six months pretty standard?

Kind Regards,

Duewest

PS Congratulations to everyone who've made it happen and are starting their new life together.

Just wondering - are you meant to get an update on ecas when the medical has been recieved as well? All we have on the cic site is that the application has been recieved. We left the medical with the doc who did it earlier in the year they said they would have it sent off - and we just kep the portion that goes with the application...??? I hope we did this right!

LZA

Duewest - for the most part 4-6 months does seem to be the norm with some exceptions.

Some do, some don't. We didn't and all was fine. I wouldn't read anything into it.

We basically showed in process.... then nothing for however many weeks, then all on the one day it was meds rec'd, decision made etc. Its not consistent.

Yes - doc sends them off direct, and you have your receipt bit that you put in with your application.

BrennaBoo

Oh thanks Mrs G! I always seem to be doubting myself in this process - you know, waiting for something to go wrong :S.

We know the application is recieved in London - can't wait for the next steps...hoepfully all is good!

Mrs-G

I was the same - I'm sure a lot are.

Fingers crossed you get a smooth process and hear back soon

BrennaBoo

I see Lake Louise as one of your locations my hubby and I met in Banff 5 years ago!
