US outland applicants' thread :)

[Florida Bear]

Hey! You never know. I'm very boring and fairly nice and I was done rather quickly..........

A lot of it is luck of the draw with your IO too. Like in all jobs, some employees are harder workers and more efficient than others.

I agree! Hoping to get some gung-ho officer who just wants everyone to be happy in Canada as quickly as possible. Wish i could send them a card and gift basket.. lol

Any reputable courier service should do it.

The tricky part is the "and back to USA" part. I know that LA would only allow use of USPS Express or Priority (prepaid) to a US address. So you should be careful to review the directions from CPP-O about courier options that may be available to you.

Personally, I have the best luck with FedEx.

As soon as you clear up some confusion for me.

When were your meds done?

I'm not aware of a 16th month and I doubt you did your medicals tomorrow.

We started processing your application on December 7, 2011.

A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision

Hi guys,

I had interview in july 2013 at LA. I was told that interview is passed and they need new medical and RCMP clearance. both of that was done and sent to them. Today Ecas updated to medical results have been received. So my question is how long for PPR now? Do they do RCMP check again internally or just RCMP clearance I send to them is enough for them.

Please share your input.

thanks

Ooo! Can I get added to the spreadsheet? Info:

Meds done: May 10th 2013
App Submitted: August 2nd 2013
App Received (as per USPS/Canada Post tracking): August 6th 2013

Annnnd hopefully we'll get an AOR next week some time. Fingers crossed!

If you were asked to submit a fingerprint based RCMP report, they will use that. They only ask for a print report when they've pulled you using your bio data (name and DOB) and found someone with a criminal record. The fingerprints are used to verify that it isn't your criminal record.

It sounds like they have everything they need so it should be soon (though the labour action is impacting things).
