The original letter I got on the 20th of December says "This visa office was selected based on your relative's home address and the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act." But if this is the case, then why give the option on the papers to choose to have the application...

Happy New Year all :) On Dec. 20 I got a mail that my sponsorship was approved. (Then they went and sent my husband's part to the wrong processing office and now we are trying to fix that.)

December 20th I got an email from Mississauga with an attached letter confirming that my sponsorship was approved. Then I scrolled down and saw that they sent my husband's section to the Singapore office for processing instead of the London UK office! We selected in our application to have it...

Yes, I tried using my details - I'm the sponsor.

4 months just to get sponsorship approval? What happened to the good old days when it took only 37 days for sponsorship approval (see Pink Lady's spreadsheet). I hope that you will get PPR soon :)

I received an email on Dec. 9 that my application was received in Mississauga on Nov. 2, 2011, even though I mailed it Oct. 18. I'm happy to know that someone is in contact with my file, but I was hoping I'd already be hearing that I was approved as a sponsor and that the application was being...

Congrats on your engagement Maid_Marian!

I never said that there aren't many more immigrants who stay and contribute to the Canadian society and economy. I grew up surrounded by immigrants from various countries. My great-grandparents were immigrants. Yes, there are Canadian born people living and working abroad putting money into...

I've met several skilled workers who applied and got into Canada, stuck around for a couple of years to obtain a passport and then left to work abroad. They want an easier passport to travel on and plan to go back to Canada to retire, but they will live and work contributing to other countries'...

It is unethical to keep families separated. They likely will reject applications from those who don't plan to take up residency in Canada immediately once the visa is issued. Those are the easiest to reject, because if the family is together living and working abroad they won't be suffering...

I think that if they did cut from the spouse and dependent children class, it would be in cases where there is no clear intention of the family to reside in Canada immediately after the visa is granted. It would be unethical to keep families apart. They simply would prefer that the family is...

Hi everyone! We mailed our application on Oct. 18. It is an outland application sent to Mississauga and then will be transferred to London, UK VO.

Yay! I hope the good news keeps coming for those of you waiting for so long. Fingers crossed that my application got to Mississauga ok, and that they don't screw up my email address, and my docs are acceptable - arghhh!

Congrats guys! The applications are moving along! I'm just at the beginning of my wait but scooch over and hand me a glass of merlot :)

I didn't try save money by not sending my application by courier or registered mail. I already explained earlier that I thought I could not, because there would be no one to sign for it since it is a PO Box address. With the sheer volume of applications they must receive I didn't think they...

Thanks Aperture :) They have those barcodes on the IMM 008 documents and they ask for those to be placed on top. Too bad they can't just scan those and it automatically registers in the system so that people know that at least the package arrived and someone has already opened it. Will have...

Because I didn't send my application by registered mail I have no clue if the Mississauga CPC has received them. I've checked the system and there is no record of our application starting to be processed yet. Lately it seems to take about 2 months for the sponsor approval to be completed, so...

Congrats guys!

I've been trying not to stress about it and have my fingers crossed that it gets there with no problems this week! If others have sent theirs by registered mail that has to be signed for, and it was signed for without any problems, then I'm going to be kicking myself for not sending mine the...
