    Timeframe to travel to Canada after visa approval

    Thank you for the advice. So really, it seems to be luck of the draw. But it's not necessarily the case that we will be left with a short time in which to travel.

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Thanks for your reply Kinza_Bee. I suppose that would also be a pain and an expense but better than the alternative. I wonder what would happen if we got an approval a month before the expiry...

    Timeframe to travel to Canada after visa approval

    Hi Everyone, I hope someone here can advise me. My husband and I have applied for a spousal sponsorship visa for him to come to Canada. We started the process at the end of last year before the process changed and therefore required to do the medical up front (or at least this was how we...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Bit of a weird question (I guess to those who have had your acceptance already) but I've just read somewhere that after you get your approval you must land in Canada within it's validity date which typically is 1 year after your medicals were completed. Problem is that we originally started...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Morning Ness12, We are in a similar situation. They requested schedule A and more photos before we managed to link our account. So we were never at the stage where they didn't need additional documents- it just went straight to 'we need additional documents...' but it's been stuck there ever...

    It's scary going back without jobs lined up isn't it? I'm sure things will work out for you :) I didn't know there was a CIC processing centre there. Maybe I'll apply there too :D

    Processing Steps for Spouse Visa

    Hi everyone, I have had a look around the internet and this forum but I couldn't find the answer to this question. So I apologise if there has been a similar post that I've missed. I was just wondering if anyone knows the processing steps that happen once your application is received. Just to...

    I think so. :( I was living in hope that it was because they were updating our file. I guess not

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    To everyone who has a note saying that they need more documents: It's not necessarily the case that they do. Someone mentioned a system glitch and I think that this is probably the case unless you've been contacted about more info. Mine has been stuck on that for a long time and I queried it...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Thanks Kinza Bee. I was only stating what I read somewhere- that it slowed the process down. Glad to hear it doesn't. I haven't ordered my notes but I know a lot of people here have

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Hi! I have heard this too. I can't remember where I read it (might have been this forum or the Cic website) but it was a list of things that slow down the process. Requesting notes was part of this list. I suppose it makes sense. They would have to stop the process, gather all info and notes...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Hubby just had an email advising us that they've received the use of a representative form. I should hope so - they've discussed his application with me. :rolleyes: I just hope that these updates mean something is happening. I live in paranoia that it'll be forgotten on someone's desk
