Thanks for that VF, yes we've e-mailed the change of address a while ago but obviously who knows it may go wrong so I'll bear in mind what you've said thanksxm

People flag pole all the time, but I have to admit that part of the reason we took an overnight stay is because I didn't want it on my record that I had been denied entry to the US, for whatever reason. Having said that, the US border lady actually told me that the correct procedure is for them to refuse you, send you back to Canada and land there. They apparently place a note on your file, explaining the reason for refused entry so that it is not a problem for future trips to the US. For me personally it just didn't sit comfortably with me, even though they told me that's the way you are supposed to do it. I don't want it noted that I was ever refused entry even if it was for a legitimate reason. If you flag pole, your husband being with you would also be refused entry and a note placed on his file. I'm 99% sure that I was just being silly about this, but that's just me. Sorry I am probably not giving you the definitive answer you want, but the way I did it was the way I was most comfortable.

carrin

Exactly what I'm hoping! No updates, no changes.... but no requests for additional info so I'm hoping it's all in process and on it's way to us!

Hi carrin, I was thinking about you today, wondering where you have been!

carrin

I have been hunkered down at home, logging in to check status, praying in between for some change some THING.... and getting nothing.

I'm so tired of living this life in limbo. And I know it's not too long now but really this is no way to live. Going stir crazy because he can't work.. wanting to move but not until we're settled.. answering the endless stream of questions where it came in yet. I just feel frustrated, impatient and can't wait for it all to be over.

Sorry for the rant... having a bad day.

You can rant all you like, I completely understand. I have had a bad 2 weeks, due to my husband sending the photo copy FBl certificate and us not getting UK police checks for his 2 sons. We are okay now, In Process, so today I feel good. You will feel good soon!

Latest from London,

Dear Mr. xxx,

Your documents have been received and we are in the process of finalising your application.

Yours sincerely,

ACD

That was a reply to an email my husband sent regarding whether London received the additional security checks.

I am scared to be too optimistic!

conjonway

Ok, I'll be optimistic for you

Thanks conjonway! Like everyone else this has been a long road.

Anybody submitted their application in the last few weeks?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/informa...cations/fc.asp
I did, and I did not include the new IMM1344, since this little tidbit was tucked away at the bottom of the webpage. And having completed the old version of the form over a month prior to the change, I've had no reason to consult the detailed guidance about that form again. Great.

Someone on canadavisa.com mentioned they called and were told they could submit the old form so long as the app reached them by the end of February.

I am just getting so frustrated with this whole thing. It just feels like one thing after another. I've got months of waiting anyway before I get to find out if they need me to jump through some more (costly) hoops regarding my health, and in the meantime I can worry about whether some jobsworth is going to throw everything back to us.

I will just be so glad when all of this is over.

Hi Carrin, I was just taking a look at your time line and realised that your timeline is almost the same as ours. We as well have not received any updates on CIC ECAS apart from to say decision made for sponsor and then nothing.
So we hoping that as most people are saying on here sometimes there is no update or request for further info and then a letter is sent for the final process.
Lets stay strong as we are at the end of this awful process. Keep the faith and I will make sure to update if there is any change. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Application received-Oct.31/2011
Confirmation email-Dec.29/2011 / Sponsorship approval Jan.10/2012.(one day apart)

We have "DECISION MADE" on our status. Not sure my husband even knows yet, as I can't get hold of him.
