Hi folks,
Just adding myself to the timeline 😊 our application was received by Mississauga on March 12th, so hope to hear about sponsor approval in the next couple of weeks.
I am on a 6 month visitor visa in Canada while waiting for PR, hopefully it comes through sharpish!

I'll be sure to keep you posted 😊 I have a feeling I may need to extend my visa as it runs out mid August. We didn't realise there was such a delay in sponsorship approval 😥

Well...got home to find a failed delivery notice at the door from the postie, so it looks like my COPR has arrived. I'm going to pop down the post office to see if they have it yet, but looks promising!

Hello all,
I don't come on here much these days.
Is it my imagination or is outside Canada applications to CIC-M back-logged and taking longer than they were six months ago?
When we compiled our application and sent it off at the beginning of March we was on the understand the sponsorship approval could take about 4 weeks. Now we're reading applications are taking at least 3 months. So in our case, our package arrived at CIC on March 5th, it is going to be several weeks before it might finally see the envelope get opened?
Thanks.

This question is for everyone who has received their COPR;
We got our paper when we flagpoled 2 weeks ago. My OH just decided that he wants to go back to London in 3 weeks for a wedding. The woman at the border said that we could not leave the country without our PR Card. How long does the PR card take to come? Do you have to apply for it or does it just arrive?

Was the best border experience I've ever had actually - the only nice guy I've ever met on the Canadian side of things - barely asked a question, offered his congratulations that I'd become a PR, and even afforded us an informal chat about how long the process too. Perhaps now I'm a PR I'll start getting happy smiley people from the Canadian Border Service Agency (I see to be the opposite of most people and have always had super nice US border guards and very abrasive Canadian ones).
