So I was hoping to be a March applicant but after scouring the forums first, and not finding the exact answer I have a question.
My wife is a USA Citizen - she sent in her request for FBI Clearance Jan 19 and they are saying a current processing time of 13-15 weeks. This means she won't get it until late April/early May. Do I need to wait for it or can I make a note saying this info when i send my SA and her PR apps? She doesn't have any form of proof that this was done to send them though.
One more question: If my wife will be visiting during the time the app is being sent and we don't have anything showing it is under review, do we need a return plane ticket that we can change her return date or is our border patrol somewhat understanding if she only gets a 1 way ticket and explains what we are doing?
Thank you very much - this seems like such a great community for help and support!!
You can send in your application without the FBI background check. Just include a letter explaining what you said here. They're aware of the long FBI processing times. Just send it when you have it.
If she visits during her application she will have to prove that she is only visiting, not moving, although people with a PR application underway tend to have an easier time doing this. You can use proof of fees as proof of your application and you can use AOR/SA when you have it (which some people has said is helpful). Some CBSA officers might expect to see ties to the US, such as paystubs from a job and an apartment lease (this is what I was told by one), but it depends on the individual officer. In short, a return ticket is best (it can be refundable) and you should make sure to be clear that she is only "visiting" when speaking to the CBSA.

My application was received by CIC on March 2nd and I am still waiting for approval. The new immigration change gave a bit of hope that it will be faster.

We got our application done and sent it in on March 18th. I have confirmation from Canada Post it was delivered, and no word from CIC. Fingers crossed for everyone!
Just noticed your application was filed a day before ours, hopefully we'll both have fast processing times! It feels like a long time to wait but just got to try and be patient ;D

Joining the waiting game.
Who knows if maybe by wishing it a lot our dream will come true ?!?!
