Re: SIN application problem

They told me that the error is something in the system. I think that something wasn't completed online after I landed? The COPR was all filled out correctly, and stapled in my passport.

I just...

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any advice for renting cars in Ontario? I'm still on my UK license as I have just activated my PR, over 25.

I've noticed that insurance is not included in the...

Congrats.

Also starting to feel like they may have put ours to the bottom of the pile after requesting the fingerprints.

Hi all,

I am marked as 'DM' on the spreadsheet but this isn't the case. I received a request for new photos, which were provided (this was at the beginning of August). I was then asked to provide...

Re: Last minute checks (Dual Intent)

Absolutely! Luckily for us, Westjet have REALLY reasonable one way tickets (about £150) in Feb. I looked into a flex ticket, to cancel it if not needed, but they are a lot more expensive upfront,...

Re: Last minute checks (Dual Intent)

Yes - it's a long story, but due to our circumstances, it is a LOT cheaper for me to book two one way tickets. We have to fly with a certain airline due to my partner bringing her dog to Canada. A...

Re: Last minute checks (Dual Intent)

I've not yet booked my flight back. I was going to book it for around 6 months after we land initially. I'm hoping that PR won't take that long from when we land, so shouldn't need more.

Would...

Re: Request for Fingerprints

Hi all,


Thanks for your replies.


Even though we are currently in the UK, there should be no problem having the fingerprints completed in Canada? We were always going to have to enter under...

Re: Request for Fingerprints

Thanks for the reply, very informative.


We are flying out to Canada (entering under dual-intent) on the 29th August. At this point, I think it may be better to just wait and go to the police...

Hi Adfletch,

Thanks for your reply. I actually didn't receive an email, but a message on myCIC, so there is no reference to any in particular person who is processing this. I did reference the...

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

A small update. I received an email from myCIC saying there had been an update on my application. It looks like the 'Background check' is now in process. Does anyone know how long this usually takes?

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

This is pretty much identical to what we are doing, and what we have sent. No word back yet though!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Any news on your application Tommy85? Creg? We sent a case specific enquiry and an email asking about our 'In Progress' sponsor, and also medical validity, and still no communication back.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Thanks,


I had originally sent a direct email about 20 days ago. I have just submitted a CSE, using the same content as our mail. Hopefully we will get something back soon!
