Mississauga! I am definitely on the spreadsheet, just updated my info :)

Starting of 2018 with good news: we just got a passport request letter today and "decision made" on ECAS! Also - thank you to this forum which gave me a sense of sanity through this whole application and waiting process. Really wonderful and helpful information that many of you shared with me...

Hi everyone, we just recently received a request through CPC Mississauga to complete the IMM 5409 - Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union. The form seems pretty straight forward but we are a tad confused about why they are asking us for this so late in the game. Anyways, it seems easy enough...

Thank you so much @canuck_in_uk! Realizing now that my initial message was not very clear/incorrect typo on my part - I should have said "last few months" since he has actually been here for a bit over 4 months. So, getting close to the 6-month mark. I have tried to search here for a thread, I...

Hi everyone, I have a question about extending a visitor visor for my partner. My partner is a US citizen and has been staying with me/visiting for the last month or so in Canada. We have applied for outland sponsorship. The application to extend stay is here...

Where do you see that in GC key? I am having a hard time finding the medical results received/passed. On ECAS it says "Medical results have been received." but nothing on GC Key, unless I am missing something? For reference, it has been over a month since my partner has done the medical exam.

Hi everyone, I have a question about extending a visitor visor for my fiance (the PA). My fiance is a US citizen and has been staying with me/visiting for the last few months in Canada. He doesn't have an official visa since he's American but I know that he can only stay in Canada 6 months at a...

So, is this officially the AOR2? Or is that a separate message?

Hi everyone, I (the sponsor) just got a letter from CIC stating that our application will be processed in Mississauga. So, then I am assuming we won't be transferred to a VO. If so, does this count as our AOR2? My PA did not get a letter about this. Also, I have heard on other threads that...

I couldn't agree more! I have a friend who sponsored her common law partner a couple of years ago and their process took about 2 years. At the very least, our timeline should be cut in half which is something to be thankful for. And you are right, it is good to know that the process isn't all...

I know! We have to be patient but it's so hard when you don't know what is going on. Especially with what is on the line, it's tough to stand by and wait. But, just have to assume they are working as fast as they can as long as we've done our part :) Thank you again for your insight!

Oh, good to know! It can (in some cases) be tough to know what is a normal timeline vs. cause for alarm. Thank you for your response! :D We will wait.

Hi everyone, I have not kept up with this thread for the last week or so. So, apologies if this question is a repeat. We submitted Schedule A and PCC a couple of weeks ago and received a message about the Schedule A: it needed to be re-uploaded because my partner (the PA) forgot to include his...

You were right, I was just being a worry wart. SA received last night and updated in the spreadsheet :)

You were totally right! I got it last night. This is the second time I got worried prematurely and as soon as I posted my concern on this forum, it was all resolved in a couple of days. Clearly, I need to calm down a bit more and worry less haha. Thank you for reassuring me! :)
