We received medical request about two days after the biometrics request. Regarding whether you need to make an appointment for your medical or can walk in - that will depend on where you are getting the medical done. In the letter it provides a link to find doctors that do that. When you go to...

I'm not really sure. To create the account we do have I used the UCI from the AOR which is different from the UCI my husband (the PA) has on his biometrics letter. We're now trying to create an account with his UCI but can't get it to work. I'm not really even sure if two accounts are needed...

Yes I think we will be too at the beginning of the week.... unless we don't need two CIC accounts? We have one linked but read both of us should have an account so I'm not sure.

How exciting! So happy for you guys. I hope ours goes as quickly but we seem to be stuck. Everything progressed really quickly as my husband was able to get his biometrics and medical done within 24-48 hours of receiving the requests and CIC has them logged. Now we're waiting to transfer to VO...

I read in a British Expat guide to spouse sponsorship that both the PA and the sponsor should have an account on CIC as they send some things to one person and some things to the other - do you guys have two accounts like this? We thought only one account was needed so I (the sponsor) have one...

We have the same thing @Awais_ch and @Blue0316. I was getting worried I'd somehow missed an email from them.

Which month did you submit your application in? There are some good threads broken up by month for inland vs outland applications and they have spreadsheets of the dates people are receiving different requests etc. I find them very helpful to get an idea of what to expect and possibly when we'll...

I can only speak for someone who has sponsored their spouse in the family class (not sure what family member you are sponsoring or applying with), but in our case, we submitted our application and my husband was sent a request by CIC for his medical exam that he had to take with him. The dates...

Yes we did.

I don't want to cause you any worry about this because not everyone's case is the same and the appointment requests take into account where you live, however, our medical request form said it had to be completed within 30 days of the date of the letter. If you have a 3-month wait to get an...

Ah yes that makes sense. Thanks for that additional information.

I guess it doesn't matter how long you've been married per the other people who have responded but for what it's worth we are newlyweds but we have been together for almost six years which was made very clear (with lots of proof) in our application. If your app was received on Feb 25th, as...

I wouldn't worry that the message hasn't changed on the online account, they don't always seem to stay right up-to-date. If you got the biometrics letter then you'll need to get the fingerprints (and they also take photos during this appointment). Regarding the documents you'll need to bring...

Hi there, Not a silly question at all. There are definitely a lot of acronyms to learn in this process! :-) You are correct though that SA=Sponsor Approved.

From what I've read you do need the title of the vehicle like the others have mentioned. With that said though I got a car loan with LightStream in the US for my last car (about 18 months ago) and it is not secured against the car and I have had the title since a couple of weeks after buying the...

You're welcome. For the biometrics there was this link (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/where-to-give-biometrics.asp) in our letter and then you choose where you can give your fingerprints and follow the instructions for that office. My husband did his in London and he was able to book...

We received an email for the AOR and the Sponsor Approval at the sponsor's email address. For the biometrics and medical requests the sponsor received an email that basically says there is an update to your account, go check it. Those emails didn't specify what the update was but we could tell...

We didn't get our biometrics request until 3 days after we received the AOR so don't think it's an issue if you didn't get it the same day as AOR. We completed the biometrics the day after we received the request and that information was linked to our CIC account that same day. We then received...

Thanks so much @alaria ! I hope they just ask for the copy of the passport as you say but I won't hold you to it. :-) It seems like things are going quite quickly at the moment so now we're starting to worry it'll happen before we're quite ready. Well we'll always be ready and happy when it...

For the passport request - do all applicants go through this step or only those who need a visa put in their passport to visit Canada? If everyone gets a request for their passport do you know approximately how long they will have it for? Reason we are asking is because my husband is planning to...
