HI. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I tried 90-day check-in online for the first time, and immediately got an e-mail saying: โ€œWe have received your information successfullyโ€ along with completed form for alien to report staying beyond 90 days. (O retirement.) So my question is: Is this process is now instant? (In the past Iโ€™ve seen people in this group saying they are waiting for approval.) Thanks!
Answer summary
The process for online 90-day check-in has seen improvements, with many users reporting faster confirmations than in the past. While an immediate email acknowledgement suggests that your application has been received, it does not indicate approval. Typically, approval is received within a few days, with some users experiencing confirmation just one day after submission. The system operates under specific timelines: you can submit your report online from two weeks before until one week before the due date, whereas in-person submissions have a broader timeline that includes one week after the due date.

It's been almost immediately in the last year for me. Usually just 1day . In the past it has taken about 3 to 4 days.

The online 90 day reporting program works like this;

The minute you submit a 90 day report online you get an email that says this

[๐—ง๐— .๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ] (๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ฆ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ง ๐—ก๐—ข : *********) ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—  ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—˜๐—ก ๐—ง๐—ข ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง๐—œ๐—™๐—ฌ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—”๐—ฌ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ก๐—š๐—˜๐—ฅ ๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ก ๐Ÿต๐Ÿฌ ๐——๐—”๐—ฌ๐—ฆ ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—–๐—˜๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—˜๐——

That means nothing ๐Ÿ˜ฎ other than you applied online to file a 90 day report

Then you wait for one of these emails

[๐—ง๐— .๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ] (๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ฆ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ง ๐—ก๐—ข : *********) ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—  ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—˜๐—ก ๐—ง๐—ข ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง๐—œ๐—™๐—ฌ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—”๐—ฌ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ก๐—š๐—˜๐—ฅ ๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ก ๐Ÿต๐Ÿฌ ๐——๐—”๐—ฌ๐—ฆ ๐—›๐—”๐—ฆ ๐—•๐—˜๐—˜๐—ก ๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ฃ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜๐——

This will have the PDF file in it that you print out and put in your passport telling you when your next 90 day report is due

[๐—ง๐— .๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ] (๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ฆ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ง ๐—ก๐—ข : *********) ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—  ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—˜๐—ก ๐—ง๐—ข ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง๐—œ๐—™๐—ฌ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—”๐—ฌ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ก๐—š๐—˜๐—ฅ ๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ก ๐Ÿต๐Ÿฌ ๐——๐—”๐—ฌ๐—ฆ ๐—›๐—”๐—ฆ ๐—•๐—˜๐—˜๐—ก ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—๐—˜๐—–๐—ง๐—˜๐——

This means it was not approved and they'll usually have a reason in the email as to why

The "window of opportunity" to file a 90 day report online is from 2 weeks BEFORE the due date down until 1 week BEFORE the due date <- meaning you have a 1 week window online

In person the "window of opportunity" is from 2 weeks BEFORE the due date until 1 week AFTER the due date <- meaning you have a 3 week window to apply in person

@Jakob ********
No need to get upset, I am just pointing out that people have different experiences with immigration, particularly in different provinces. So, your usually after 4 days comment, should have the caveat that it is only in your experience and in your immigration office.

If I go in person (as I had to do a year ago when I got a new passport) it takes me around 15 minutes. Online it has never been more than 48 hours in the last 5 years. maybe you should move to Samut Prakan....๐Ÿ˜‚

It's only a confirmation of receipt, it's not an approval of your 90 days.

@Bennett *******
yes first step is they have received your information and second step is they approve or reject it, if rejected you will have to go in person to immigration office near you. Normally they want the first time is in person, but TIT and you never know.
