I didn't want to pay a lawyer but for differents situations we decided to pay one. I had everything ready to be sent before December because it took me 3 months to complete all the information. Everybody knows this is not easy, get the original documents, notarized, legalized and translated. I was working and doing it at the same time, it's too much, we couldn't send them before December, so we decided to send them in January but when I was checking the forms I saw all of them different. Anyways, at the end we decided to pay a lawyer to do it for us again, because they are updated with the processes, what they need to keep with them to be sent to immigration and less stress for us. At the end we applied on may.
It's kind of frustrating not to know what is happening and asking all the time to the lawyer is not my deal but I did many questions to know what to expect. We just need to wait the timeframes and he has been sending us every email they receive from immigration. I just can check ECAS and it doesn't show everything.
This is my timeline
May 16 applicant (idk what happened but ECAS says that they received on June 1st, maybe it was misplaced)
July 1 AOR1
July 10 schedule A requested
July 13 sponsor approval
July 14 schedule A received in the CPC Mississauga
Now we are waiting for the schedule A to be received and processed into my app (approx 2-3 weeks) and to hear that my app was transferred to the visa office.
And yeah, this is the only information I have
