After 2.5 yrs of waiting...the frustration is finally over! My husband got his PR and his SIN card and that good stuff. And there were no interview! I should've shared the good news earlier (it happened on the 3rd) but honestly, I wanted to forget about all things immigration-related! I...

I applied inland and yea the interview is for the landing (which is tomorrow!!). I have nothing to be nervous about but I still feel it! I can barely concentrate on my studies and I have a couple of tests coming up :( :( Oh well...I guess I won't know anything for sure until I get there so just...

Count me in! I sponsered my husband 2 years ago and man has it been daunting!! Please answer my questions: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/weve-been-called-for-an-interview-t32972.0.html

Ok, after 2 years of going outta our mind we finally received a response from the immigration guys. We have been called for an interview in Feb! We are thrilled that this daunting process is coming to an end but one thing I've always been confused/intimated about was the actual interview. WHAT...

I'm sponsoring my husband (in-land) and the process has been going for a year (AGONY!!!). Last thing they asked for was his police reference check and we got it from back home. A few weeks ago they've notified us by online that they've received it (yey!) and that "A decision has been made and...

I'm sponsoring my husband (inland) and after one and a half years of frustration, countless sleepless nights and lots of stress later, he has been provided with a health card and a temporary work permit. Next, we have to obtain his police clearance paper from back home (Bangladesh) and send it...

Keep us posted and wish me luck as I'm pretty much on the same stage as you are. Did they ask for your fingerprints/background clearance yet?

Congratulations!! I hope all the feelings of uncertainty that have been looming over you for all these time are finally gone! Welcome to Canada!! The last thing we heard from CIC is that they received my husband's fingerprints from the RCMP on June 11...and so far, that's it. I wonder when...

Yea, it will show "In Process". When you click on it, will show something like "We have received your application on ------". After that they'll keep updating. Call them up once in a while too because although the wait time is long, you can find things out sooner. We called them yesterday and...

Congrats for sending in your application! Now the hard time begins. Outlands probably take more time than Inlands and are quite different but lemme share what I've gone through/going through. It will be at least 6 months until you hear anything from them. Are you doing this through a lawyer? If...

I agree. It shouldn't really matter as long as the photos are real and clear and you label them correctly. All they care about is whether the marriage is real and you are who you say you are. We sent in original hard copies though.

I sent everything in Nov. 21st and they started processing in Dec. It took them 6 months send in the AIP. I think refugee claims and family class sponsorship has great differences and I don't really know much about it...

Try contacting the embassey and tell them that they need to send a letter regarding the matter.

The whole ordeal is enough to drive a completely sane person totally insane! We called the Call Centre today and they said they're sending him his OHIP and Open Work Permit applications (phew!) and asked for a police clearance report from back home. Then there will be some background...

Thanks everyone for replying! We just received a letter today stating that my husband is eligible and that he can apply for a work permit as well as a study permit if he wishes!! They also asked for his fingerprints and we've got it done and hopefully the RCMP will receive it soon! Oh man...I...

Hi, everyone! I'm sponsoring my husband (in-land) and I've just received a letter from the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville. The letter states that I've met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor and explains my duties/obligations. It also states if my husband's application of PR...

I'm from Toronto and was wondering where do our files get sent? Missisauga, Vegreville or someplace else?

Don't know the exact weight but a LOT of stuff went in with the application. We're still waiting for their decision (it's been almost 6 months). I just hope they hurry the hell up and don't ask for more stuff! This wait is more than enough to drive anyone insane :(

Oh and I forgot - His work permit application got rejected (The letter came in sometime in late '08).

Thanks for shedding some light on this. Well, we didn't send in the application on March '08 but we did send it way before November (after officially moving in together late May of the same year). As it is with most cases, they needed a lots of info (tons of documents, proof of his...
