It doesn't matter if you're a natural-born or naturalized citizen of the UK, as a citizen you have the same rights and privileges as any other British citizen. The fact that you have those rights and privileges, like the fact that I have those rights and privileges as an American citizen even...

This is too cute!

Thanks for the clarification. That could have been an error on her part - she did write that she has a "Canadian visitor visa." You definetely have had to wait for a while for your interview. I really don't know why they scheduled it months and months in advance. It's in mid-April right? Ah...

I'm sure your husband must be a wreck but has he spent any time practicing for the interview and thinking about his answers? Would be a great ease to his nervousness not to mention improving his chances for a successful interview. In any case, best of luck.

It's the same. Where you get married has no relationship.

Forgot to mention that I'm very surprised they requested an interview as you're a UK citizen and that's rare. How much proof did you put in the application? You're doing an outland one through London?

glad to help.

Client ID/UCI is the same on all of one's documents from CIC.

I may be missing something here but I don't know why you needed a visitor visa in the first place. CIC says among the people who don't need visitor visas to visit Canada are, "British citizens and British Overseas Citizens who are re-admissible to the United Kingdom," as well as, "British...

I wouldn't worry about addresses disappearing in e-CAS. It's either a glitch or it means someone is reviewing your file - in any case, there's no point in wondering or worrying. Not sure how FSW stream process goes along, so you might want to post your question on that thread.

Yes, they update the step 1 processing time on Wednesdays (as sponsorship approval processing time gets updated on a weekly basis), but you're past that step obviously. As far as e-CAS, the site itself says that it's updated weekly, "usually on Tuesdays." You need to understand that e-CAS is...

You're situation is completely "normal" (for lack of a better word). I don't know where you got the info that most people whose files are at Buffalo got AOR within 30 days (could be true, I just am wondering how you determined that). There are actually a number of people who never get AOR...

Best of luck. :)

You need to email CPCM-EXTCOM @ cic.gc.ca with the subject line, "Change in Personal Circumstances," as technically, CIC states that one should contact Mississauga whenever these is a change in personal circumstance or family composition, including withdrawing your sponsorship application, a...

Oh, I know they delivered in the hotel room but I think the reason why they checked in to a hotel room right across from a hospital was because they were prepared to be seen by the hospital and pay up in case anything went wrong (as giving birth can be, even today, a very dangerous event for...

I'm not exactly sure what instructions NYC gives but I don't understand where the problem lies. The passport request will more than likely come by email. Even if it comes by mail and they think the PA's address is the same as the sponsor's address (i.e. in Canada), your husband can obviously...

Yep, the range from high to low is pretty frustrating when you're trying to predict when you'll be done.

Well, no need to call, that info's on the processing times for step 1 page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp

Your consultant doesn't know what s/he's talking about if s/he says that "step 2 doesn't take more than a few weeks' time." I'm sure there's a New Delhi spreadsheet on the forum somewhere. Check it out. I highly doubt you will see someone being "done" within a matter of weeks after ND gets the...

I can understand why the IO did that. CIC's instructions on who is eligible describe the conjugal category as a situation in which a couple has maintained a conjugal relationship for at least one year but been prevented from living together or marrying because of exceptional circumstances, like...
