    DECEMBER 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I had ordered GCMS notes, and just received them. There was a note saying " honeymoon and post-wedding photos missing...further review needed", before this request for marriage photos. So, for future applicants, it is best to include photos of you two together after the wedding for faster...

    I personally don't know. You can try site specific googling like this, so that the results are from this forum. Type the following in the google search bar and hit enter: contact MP site:https://www.canadavisa.com Or just find out who your MP is, call their office and explain the situation etc.

    Other option would be to contact your MP, as your scenario seems to be unique. So taking this step might be justified.

    ECAS on PA side got updated to "Decision Made" today. There was also a ghost update on GCKey. No other information is available. CPC-M. Full timeline on Tracker.

    I didn't get DM yet...AoR2 happened only on Feb-21, so it might take a few more weeks, as long as it isn't transferred again to NDVO.

    Information needs to go both ways for everyone to benefit ;) I am unable to find your timeline from past comments or in the tracker.

    Today ECAS on PA side moved to "In Process" from "Application received" Full timeline on tracker. On 6th CPC-M asked for "marriage photos". We submitted them on the same day. A week later on GCKey it said "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided". Today the ECAS changed.

    For us, ECAS status for PA is "Application received". But we got a request for photos from CPC-M. So someone is looking at it even though the ECAS status has not moved to "In process".

    Some apparently never received either a paper letter or an email...Depends on the officer I guess.

    Submitted 16 the first time. Note they did not say they need "more photos"... Btw, I've been through the US immigration process as well, and this is so much more transparent and quick that I'm not worrying too much at this stage as to why they sent this request.

    I'm the sponsor (and representative) and got both these letters. Don't know why they sent physical letters and not PDF via email. It took two weeks for the letters to reach me in Ottawa from Sydney (I checked the postmark).

    Received (by Canada Post again, like the SA) the letter that our file has been moved to CPC Mississauga. Of course, I came to know of this yesterday, because they sent the email asking for photos.

    Yes, I did write on the back of each photo...This is what they asked. Note they say "marriage photos" and not just "wedding photos" :) Marriage photos: If you were married according to the rites, customs, and/or traditions of India, please submit printed photos of the principal applicant and...

    DECEMBER 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Submitted 12 photos by email along with a cover letter describing what is happening in each photo. The request letter mentioned ritual names in Punjabi (Lavan phere, Anand Kalraj etc) but we are from South India and don't have the exact same rituals :) So I described the rituals giving them...
