You should be able to access ECAS now with your receipt numbers, but it won't say anything, it will say that it can't find your details on the system, or something like that. They only update ECAS once they have started processing your file, literally opening it up and that will only happen...

SadGirl, My husband had his decision & passport request sent to him by email, 2 working days later ECAS was updated to say 'Decision Made'. We've still not received the hard copy letter in the post but I suspect within the next few days. We have also gone through the London office.

3-9 month processing time only begins once the OUTLAND office (Sydney) receives your file, it does not include CPC-Mississauga's timeline. So really, you have only been waiting 2 months out of a possible 3-9 months.

John, are you sponsoring only a spouse? There is no necessary minimum income requirement for sponsoring a spouse. Nevertheless, you are still asked to show your financial situation. Does your french tax declaration show that you paid taxes, etc? I also applied through the London office (I am...

Rasha, can the spouse not have his PR card posted to him in the UK (by a friend or family member where the PR card would originally be sent) so that he can avoid this 'Travel Document' and just land back in Canada with PR card?

I'm sorry to say that you've used the wrong form. That form is for sponsoring parents, grandparents and adopted children. You needed to be using form 3901 which is Family Class, sponsoring a spouse. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3901e.pdf

Hmmmm.....part of the checklist still says to include them though, did you read Form 3901, #11 (the form that includes Appendix C)? The latest one still states:- 11 PROOF OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION Include for yourself and each of your family members Copy 2 of the Medical Report-Section A that the...

Using the trackitt website is also a good way to find out about average timings. You can also narrow things down by which visa office abroad that you used as well. http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class/page/1 Harupit, you would have had to send your parcel 'tracked'...

The question asks "are you sponsoring a member of the family class OR a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class"? You are sponsoring a member of the family class, so you tick 'Yes'.

Erik - maybe this site will help ease your mind for timings. http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class/page/2

17) I applied from the UK so I never got to see what the Option C printout is but from what I understand it shows your income, tax situation, etc from the previous year. It will also show if you received any benefits or social assistance, etc - I think this is what they are wanting to see. No...

Gather as much information as you can, the letters from family members helps and your emails, etc will certainly help as well. I didn't have a job offer or a mortgage or a rental agreement, I simply wrote a letter stating how I intended to re-establish myself, sent letters from my family &...

Why do you think that you DO need financial requirements to be met in order to sponsor a spouse? Guide 3900 (sponsor's guide):- The Sponsorship Evaluation form (5481) will help us assess your past and current obligations with respect to sponsorship undertakings you have signed or co-signed. Do...

There is no minimum requirement to sponsor a spouse. But you must declare whether you are on benefits or social assistance, I think OSAP would fall into this category so make sure you declare that. On Form 3999E (The Immigrant's Guide):- Your family members are your spouse or common-law...

Agree with Boncuk, try ringing again and you'll speak to someone else, but you need to give YOUR surname and birthdate, not your husbands.

Depends on what you mean by 'easier', do you mean in terms of sponsoring him for his residency in Canada? As far as I know, it shouldn't matter one way or the other where you marry for sponsorship reasons. However, if you decide to marry in the UK and you have a civil ceremony (at the local...

To ring from outside Canada: +1 613 944 4000. They will ask you for your Client ID number, which, when I rang, I also did not have so I made up a number and punched it into the phone, I was then transferred to an agent. Be patient, I have waited on hold for 20-30minutes before.

You are over the 'average' 6 months processing time so you can contact them and expect a reply. There is an email / web form on the previous link that mud504 provided, you really need to send them a query that way. I'm sure they will respond, I have had to email the Canadian embassy a few...

Has anyone ever been denied first stage approval? I'm wondering whether they ask you for further information before refusing to allow you to sponsor or do they just outright deny you? I live in the UK, sponsored my husband and we had to prove we intend to move back to Canada, but I found this...

Attach a separate list if you feel it is necessary - the more information the better really. Make sure the separate list is clearly labelled. IMM 5490 has not changed since April 2008, no? I have just tried downloading it now on CIC website and it says 04-2008....?
