I got mine too!! Jan 9

I know …. bit doesn’t help much when you whole life is on hold !!!!

I know …. the waits all increased after we applied it’s hard when you have a timeframe idea and it keeps getting longer and longer 19 months married - 5.5 long distance I’m so ready for this to be done

MTL has been so quite lately for CR1/Ir1 i am wondering when the next IL will come out ….. patiently ( ok NOt to patiently) waiting

I think they are currently working on submissions from august 2023- you have a few more months prior to approval - it is average 14 months now for I30 approvals…then IL waits vary…. We are 4 + months post DQ with no interview yet in Montreal …. some places are faster but some are slower not the best news

I did finally got it all sorted and have an appt to get the ones I need updated .. who knew the vaccine part would be the harder of the immigration journey !!!!! Lol

That is my hope … it’s so unpredictable….

Can you file this with cra and have them adjust the taxes ? im trying to sort it all out as well - wanting to maintain a residence and job in Canada (PR in USA ) then apply for duel citizenship to give me options

2024- thinking November for letter and interview in January 🙏🙏

June 28, 2023 you?

If you get any info on extending days let me know …. We applied april 2023…. Everything has since increased in timeframes …. It’s so hard to plan …. I have obligations for family and work in January and February and in need my passport for both !!!! keep hoping for a miracle that is not materializing ….. there seems to be some wiggle room if you don’t stay 6 full months in one trip BUT every officer seems to see this differently. I have been told many many different things at customs. We are getting closer and i do not want any issues so we keep to 182/365 To be safe … we all know how hard it is to not be with your Spouse ….. September was brutal for us …. it get harder and harder honestly….

Plan for two years total for the process - there were alot of applications March 24 so it may been even longer good news is that travelling to USA during the process is not difficult if you can prove strong ties. I wish there was a way to stay longer, it would be nice if they extended that option to those of us who are stuck, waiting for endless paperwork, approvals!Careful saying you can work remotely or with flexibility …. I’m a n Vancouver too- good news is one of the five approved doctors is in Surrey !

Given how unpredictable the timeframes for Montreal interviews are it’s hard to know when to even list a house …hard to rent or organize life on all these variables

Not only no IL in September but now they have rescheduled the October 7 th interviews as well when you think you finally can see the light in this arduous and horrible process they shut the door

Anyone get the letter today ? no IL it seems I am so done with all this BS …. Sigh I’m not expecting letter till November it’s getting harder and harder to stay positive this whole process has taken years off my life

I heard April 10…. Thank goodness they have moved faster … let’s hope it continues….

Nothing about this process is person centered … we have all learned that …. And we all want and have valid reasons to be with our spouses … all you can do is wait …

Montreal is not processing these very quickly at all…. It will probably be based on your DQ date and they are not even finished March yet …

Sounds like you are getting close

Three months to finish March …. Sigh I’m June will I even get mine in 2025 at this rate ? hubby could apply today and be in Canada faster than us waiting on this…. we are starting to have some serious discussions….

I don’t think two years is a tiny fraction …. We are both not young ( hubby is almost 60) tomorrow is never guaranteed and I live in fear every day of something happening and me not being able to be with him. i need a dental procedure and I hav to go alone and likely get a hotel because I can’t drive home and I have no one else to get me- and an hour Uber ride in that condition doesn’t sound safe !!!! the house I am living in is for sale and the market up here is beyond affordable for us with two households to maintain. I literally have no where to go and secretly keep hoping the house doesn’t sell - but every month this drags on is one more month I have to live with h the possibility of loosing my residence. i have been feeling incredibly depressed and lonely. It may only look like “ a few more months “ but it’s a lot more than it in theory.

Still on March … unbelievable

I know it’s so hard - I get so jealous of couples who LIVE together … I keep telling hubby I got married to share our lives together , not be alone hopefully you are only a few months away. i had a full meltdown when I saw April 25 as the potential interview date adding 10 months. Post DQ is sure a kick in the gut

That is kinda my thought too …. Keep hoping and praying Montreal speeds up- last year when we applied it was three months now it’s like 10 hubby and I are really struggling long distance now ( due to several factors that have been arising with our living situations) it’s hard to maintain two homes !!
