natnat and Sadhumaharaj, where are you guys at with your PR?

 

My husband's PR will likely take forever to be completed as a result of him being illegal in US prior to coming to Canada.  We were asked to submit his Notice to Appear when he was charged in US in 2005 for being illegal which resulted in him being deported to Mexico which we submitted in September 2009.  So what's currently outstanding are the background/security checks and CIC reviewing the US charge of illegal status.

 

My guess would be that CIC will complete his file mid 2010 or could even go for as long as early 2011.  Likely, our file will be the last from the batch from this forum.

We received your application for permanent residence on June 5, 2008.

file transfered to missiuga on feb 2009

and now still waiting

well congrats to all who got there aip and pr

 

We provided CIC with my husband's police clearances from US (State and FBI) and Mexico with our initial package way back in 2007.

 

And when CIC requested for 6-months worth of updated documentation to establish that our relationship is still continuing as they were ready to issue us AIP back in June 2009, they did not request for new police clearances. 

 

Does this mean we will have to get new police clearances once again once his background check is completed? From what we gather, CIC only ordered for background check to commence in September/October 2009 and it is still in process.

We received your application for permanent residence on February 27, 2008.

We started processing your application on March 19, 2008.

Medical results have been received.

We received the requested information on May 21, 2008. Thank you for providing the information.

March: submitted my son's birth Certificate Thankyou for providing us with this document

April: Asked for my work update since the time I came to Canada; Thankyou for providing us with the update

October The immigration Officer called to find out if my husband( Who sponsered me) was with me as he was on a business trip since a couple of months and the immigration was aware of that. I updated them that he was to arrive in Nov and he did. He is working here now.This was on the 8th of October and my status was changed to DM on that date.... the immigration officer said that my application looked good and there were no delays.....Its been 2.5 months since DM and I still havent recieved any calls for landing interview from them....except when i applied for a study permit they gave me a refusal!....17 months now and still nothing!.... pretty frustrating!

 

 

 

I did everything right... when I called the CIC today they told me that this was a mistake on their part and That I will get a study permit by next month Hopefully! If I dont then I should give them a call again!

As for your answer to the second question I have seen DM under both my husband and my status on the ECAS! and its been 2.5 months since DM has been made!

 

I had given my case to the MP mississauga and after 3 weeks  today he told me that he had recieved an update from CPC Mississauga and as far as my case is concerned it has been delayed for another 12-14 months!.... I was so disappointed to hear that the reaseon he said was because when the immigration officer  called me in October she asked me if my husband was here with me and I told her that he was due to return in Nov and he did.... Now he's is here and working in Toronto....However, the CIC wanted him to be here all throughout the time that he had sponsered me.....The MP said it was a good thing that my Husband is here with me now.... otherwise they would have even refused my case.... He was going to update CPC Mississauga of his return and for them to call me for an interview it will take another 12-14 months or could be before that too but no one knows!..... cant wait further... its soooo frustrating.... its nearly been 2 years since I've been In canada.... Had plans to go for a vacation and now Im stuck here!

International Fee Exemptions  

If you are not a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, you must pay the international student fee unless you are exempt in one of the categories defined below. If you qualify for and claim exemption under one of these provisions, you must present supporting documentation to your Registrar's Office at the beginning of the session. For all categories of exemption: Where the status of an exempt international student changes part way through his/her program of study due to circumstances beyond the student’s control (eg. the dependant of a diplomat whose parent is reassigned to another country), the student may continue as exempt until completion of that program.

                              

'Status in Canada' Exemptions

All international students qualifying for exemption under these provisions pay the domestic fee:

• students who are (or who are dependents of, or who are staff members of) diplomatic or consular officers, or representatives or officials of other countries, or of the United Nations (or any of its agencies), or of any intergovernmental organizations of which Canada is a member, and who, with official accreditation from the Government of Canada, have entered Canada or are in Canada to carry out their official duties; or a member of a foreign military force or of a civilian component thereof, and any dependents of such personnel, admitted to Canada under the Visiting Forces Act. 
                                         
• students who are dependents of Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada. 
                                         
• students who are (or who are dependents of) persons who have applied for permanent resident status may qualify for exemption if they have met all the preliminary immigration requirements for permanent resident status (i.e. have received preliminary/provisional acceptance/approval, or approval-in-principle). 
                                         
• students who are (or who are dependents of) visitors who are authorized to work in Canada having been issued a work permit.  Note 1) Visitors who are graduate teaching or research assistants are excluded from this category. Note 2) Students holding the Citizenship & Immigration Canada Off-Campus Work Permit are not eligible for this exemption.
                                         
• students who are (or who are dependents of) persons who: a)have been determined to be protected persons, including Convention refugees or persons in need of protection; b) are refugee claimants who applied to the Federal Government for Convention Refugee status prior to January 1, 1989. 
                                         
• students participating in an Ontario government-sponsored exchange agreement (e.g. participants in the Ontario-Jiangsu Academic Exchange Agreement between the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training and the Higher Education Bureau of Jiangsu Province, China).
