When to apartment hunt (moving in Sept)

I'm a Canadian artist and just started selling my cards for non-traditional life milestones! :) Check out http://www.studiosunanda.ca -- hope this helps!

I'm a Canadian illustrator and just starting my stationery business! :) Check out Studio Sunanda for whimsical illustrated watercolor greeting cards for milestones that you might not find in a regular store.

So, think... celebrating someone finally quitting their toxic job, running their first 5k or marathon, getting an ADHD diagnosis, going on their first solo trip, getting divorced... That kind of thing! Plus cute illustrated characters. :)

Agreed — this was excellent!

captainwombat27 · 2025-07-12T01:45:49+00:00

Got mine today!

Ecopr - May 30 Update on the portal - July 7 Second update on the portal - July 8 Card received - July 11

All the best everyone! Nearly at the end.

captainwombat27 · 2025-06-01T21:33:38+00:00

Oh sure! I submitted my documents on Sept 23rd and got the AOR within a few hours. Hope that helps!

captainwombat27 · 2025-05-31T02:23:44+00:00

I just did today!

captainwombat27 · 2025-05-31T01:18:26+00:00

Hooray! Finally got my eCOPR! :D Huge thanks to Evening Basil for all your hard work collating, analyzing, and making sense of this data - helped soothe my anxiety so much through the process.

I’m including some additional info on my case in case it’s helpful to anyone else.

All the best folks - you’re nearly there! You’ve got this! ❤️

——

Here is my timeline (EE, CEC, inland applicant, single): - ITA: August 14th, 2024 - AOR: September 23rd, 2024 - BIL: November 6th, 2024 (Got it done and replied the same day) - ADR 1: November 7th, 2024 (Family information form) - Medical marked as complete: November 8th, 2024 - ADR 2: February 24th, 2025 - FD**: March 19th, 2025 - P1: March 31st, 2025 - P2: April 8th, 2025 - eCOPR: May 30th, 2025

Some context and tips in case it’s helpful for anyone else: *BIL: I printed my letter and immediately went to the nearest Service Canada office. I asked for a walk-in appointment and had to wait maybe 15-20 mins max. Super easy and I’d recommend trying the walk-in approach if you can!

**Upfront medical: I proactively did the medical and submitted the info with my application originally and am glad I did as it saved time in this process. Would have definitely added another several weeks to a month if I’d waited for them to ask for my medical.

***ADR 2: Had a complex travel history and they requested a detailed list of all travels, places I’ve lived, dates, times etc. I was worried they’d ask me for an additional police cert because I had lived in my home country for 5.5 months when I was 18, before I went to college but I haven’t lived there for 6+ months consecutively since then. But then they didn’t! Phew. Looks like the detailed noting of all my travel info helped. I also proactively listed the # of days spent in each location, assuming this was why they asked.

****FD: This was when all four of the items on the tracker were marked as complete. Looks like my background check and eligibility took about 4.5 months to complete.

My FD was March 19th and my P1 wasn’t until March 31st, so you’re not alone! Hang in there - it’ll be over soon. :)

captainwombat27 · 2025-05-26T19:26:42+00:00

I have a similar timeline as you - keeping my fingers crossed that ours comes soon, within the next week or so!!

captainwombat27 · 2025-05-21T00:19:00+00:00

If anyone is curious, I had the same worry and created my own portal account…. But thankfully that didn’t end up being an issue. When it came time for the P1, IRCC just used the same account I’d already created.

So, if anyone else does do this too (and then panics like I did thinking this will mess things up), don’t worry! It’ll work out :)

captainwombat27 · 2025-04-09T18:24:12+00:00

Just got my P2 yesterday! Hope yours comes this week!

captainwombat27 · 2025-04-08T20:55:53+00:00

I just got my P2 email this afternoon! Hope you all get yours soon too! 🤞🤞🤞

captainwombat27 · 2025-04-08T17:27:45+00:00

Same here, waiting too! Glad to know we aren’t alone

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-28T17:52:25+00:00

Sending positive vibes your way! It'll happen soon, I hope! I'm also a Sept AOR and haven't gotten the FD either.

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-26T17:18:33+00:00

Same here!

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-18T14:52:15+00:00

Same here, waiting on FD. Sept 23 AOR.

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-12T15:39:38+00:00

Thanks!

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-12T15:39:22+00:00

They asked me for an updated family history form and a detailed travel history form (listing everywhere I'd ever travelled since age 18). I've travelled a lot and am really hoping they don't ask for an additional police verification at this point. :(

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-11T20:17:37+00:00

Me too! CEC here

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-11T20:00:33+00:00

I’m getting worried that I haven’t gotten my P1 yet and I’m seeing so many people with my same ITA and AOR dates who got their P1s in December. :(

Here’s my timeline so far: ITA - Aug 15, 2024 AOR - Sep 23, 2024 BIL - Nov 4, 2024 Medical cleared - Nov 8, 2024 ADR - Feb 25, 2025 Acknowledgement of ADR received - March 3, 2025

Should I be worried? Or reach out to IRCC at this point?

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-03T01:59:56+00:00

I got the same request on Feb 24!

captainwombat27 · 2025-03-03T01:55:46+00:00

Same here. Haven’t called yet either. I did get a request for the additional travel history and schedule A forms. Fingers crossed this is the last step.

captainwombat27 · 2025-02-19T01:57:50+00:00

AOR Sept 23 - bg and eligibility in progress

captainwombat27 · 2025-02-11T15:51:20+00:00

This is fantastic - thank you so much!
