    Great Table Kaycee!! It's nice to see everyone's timelines all organized and i can't believe how few of us there are compared with past months. I'm guessing alot of people tried to get theirs in over the holidays so they wouldn't have to think about it. I'm keen to see how the processing goes!

    Sorry to hear Thailand is rainy - what a bummer. I'm sure you were looking forward to the sun. My understanding is that we don't hear anything about whether or not they received the application (I haven't heard anything and they go our on the 17th but I don't know about others) As for e-cas I...

    Help! Answered a question wrong on the application.

    Hey Quick Question, Did you guys wait until your application was in process to send the fax? I'm concerened that if we wait until it's in process they will send the entire application back to us. I would rather take pre-emtive action and send them the missing document first. However i'm not...

    We also forgot to do this. I was going to re-send them photos ASAP but was told that they receive so many application a day that without an application number they won't be able to match the photos to the application. So we'll have to see if they send it back or not. I read on this forum that...

    So it seems as though the December thread is almost done ( i was as snooping around on the time lines) ;) - the CIC site says they are now working on application received Dec 22 - it shouldn't be long before we start seeing some action here in Jan! Although I think most of us are in the middle...

    Kaycee - I would agree with that! I keep looking at Decembers thread for timelines - there are only about 5 or 6 of us here in Jan. It will be interesting to see if it has any effect on the processing time!

    Spousal Application - Canadian Citizen born in the UK...

    I'm no expert, But i'm pretty sure that on the document check list for sponsors under supporting documents it says "Photo copy of Canadian citizenship card with photo (both sides) or Canadian Passport" (amoung a bunch of other options. I think the 'OR' is the operative word here. It seems to...

    How strict is Imm. Canada with sponsorship instructions?

    I had the same issues sponsoring my common-law partner. Our PCC goes straight from the Police to the VO processing our application, we don't get to see it and we don't receive any documentation regarding it was requested. As for the medical I corresponded with the visa office processing our...

    Wow travelling for a full 5 weeks - I can't think of a better way to take your mind off the application process and make the time fly by! Hopefully by the time you get back you will be onto stage 2! Have an amazing trip and I will try and get a table thingy going to track everyone's process

    Good luck with posting your application, hope the post office went well! It was such a relief to mail it (until I start panicking about all the little things I may have forogtten) - after 3 very stressful days regarding our meds and some photos, I have finally found a mini Zen of 'it's out of...

    Meds??!

    Hey All, I just wanted to add to this quickly. I sent my application off to mississauga without the medical receipt. After a few days of panic I received a reply from the Canadian Embassy that will be processing our application (Outland) and they said: " Your common-law partner can undergo...

    Mississauga got our appliation this morning! So now the count down begins... I understand we don't receive a letter until they approve the sponsorship part of the application. Has anyone been able to log into e-case yet. I tried to log in with my payment receipt but I paid online with a credit...

    Thread for October 2010 Applicants

    Hey, I did the exact same thing – I just contacted the embassy that will process our application and they said we can do the medical any time during the application process. I was wondering what you ended up doing and if it worked out for you. Cheers

    Meds??!

    Thanks for clearing that up. I am going to have my partner do them this week. However, I sent my package only a day ago - which means they have not started processing yet. Should I wait for them to return the entire package to me or just send the missing receipt as soon as he does his medicals...

    Help - I forgot something and sent my application yesterday

    Thanks for the advice. It turns out I also forgot to send in his medical receipt. This is way more crucial. Should we send it in now - and again what info should I include in order for it to get matched up to our application or should I wait until they ask for it. Which I am sure they will...

    Help - I forgot something and sent my application yesterday

    Hi All. I forgot to write on the back of the 8 photos the name and DOB of the individual in them! I sent my package yesterday (go figure) and it is sitting in Canadian Customs right now. Should I just send 8 new photos (with the name and DOB) of the applicant. What information should I...

    Meds??!

    Hey All, From reading this thread I think I may have made a mistake. I am sponsoring my common-law partner. My understaing from the DMP and the Canadian Embassy that will be processing our visa was that the medical was only good for one year, and since it was not going to be sent to CPC...
