Hi Tom, I just did that about a couple of hours ago. I wrote a letter to the Honorable Chris Alexander, the Minister, received an automated reply that says I will receive a response within 10 to 30 working days. Let's see what that does. Thanks for your suggestion, if anything else springs to...

BC2013, You mentioned transferring of files from other VOs and I wanted to share my experience with our application and hopefully get some advice on this matter, as my husband and I are getting pretty desperate at this point. Our sponsor approval was done on July 23rd 2012, but application was...

Nole73, have a safe trip and happy landing to you and your wife. I hope she enjoys Canada. :)

Interviews are stressful even when you have a good idea of what they might ask or if you have a straightforward, strong case. I understand the tension these situations tend to create. Hopefully we will not need an interview, but then again, one never knows. It might be another thing to get...

Made me chuckle. I have about a million answers in my head already, most of them, like you say, they wouldn't want to hear. :D And I am the calm one in this marriage. (but not the one who would go for an interview haha)

I also started feeling a bit depressed while reading this thread. Waiting is more than frustrating and stressful for all of us, but I guess it still helps to know that we are not the only ones and that a lot of others can relate and understand your hardships and pain of being away from the loved...

Hi Doni, As far as I know, your friend will need to submit anything that would help prove his intent to return back home. There is no rule on the amount of evidence submitted, but the more the better. For example, if he is employed, he needs an employment letter from his company and a letter...

Europe, Do try to contact your MP like Nole73 said. It is very clever of them to say not to contact them until the average processing time is up, but if you are not going to get anywhere with them, then your MP may be able to get some answers for you. When I called CIC 3 months ago to say that...

I appreciate that, OhCanadiana. :) I could probably write a novel about the past several years and what all we have been through and nobody knows what else might get in the way, but no matter how hard, we must endure because it is worth it. It is a shame to see how little (or not at all) our...

Hey Sweden, Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I was following that thread earlier thinking that it was my office, but then when they said London, I kind of followed both threads to see what was happening and how the timelines moved. It seems that London is much quicker, Vienna got overwhelmed...

Thank you very much Sweden, I have been reading the London VO posts for a while now, but have not participated in discussions. I always felt like I did not belong in that thread, yet CIC ignored my concerns, so all I did was wait. I saw that you finally got your app finalized. Congrats to you...

So, today I find out (officially) that our file has been sitting at the wrong VO for 3 1/2 months. Unofficially, I've known this the whole time, but CIC kept telling me that there must have been a reason for this and that I had no other choice but to wait for them to contact me. London, UK...

Hi Nole, My forms were also translated with a "C" only, that should be sufficient as far as I know. Like you say, the only form that requires the exact name as written in your language is the IMM0008. Anywhere else in forms, you can just use a “C”, especially if you are typing them. No worries...

I hope we can submit this at a later date then, I thought passport would be sufficient for identity proof. Anyway, we will resolve it one way or another when the time comes. Thank you very much for your reply CharlieD10. :)

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind me asking a question as well. Upon reading this thread, I was I bit confused. I remember thinking that "a document confirming a relationship for you and each of your family members" did not refer to spouses. How does a spouse's birth certificate confirm their...
