    Hi, In regards to IMM 5669 Question 11: Did your sponsor meet any of your close friends or family? Does Skype include "meeting''? It's not in person but it's the same general idea.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks for your reply Ponga! It's confusing as I've read on this forum that you don't need to write in short trips if you don't change address or job and then there are others saying you need to write in everything! Plus on the initial question area, they only give you a Month/Year and short...

    Few questions: changing status then marrying

    Thanks very much guys for the info! With the applications including visitor, do I need to send every application on the document checklist and just write N/A on the ones that don't apply or just send the one that is applicable? Also do I send the document checklist with it?

    Few questions: changing status then marrying

    Thanks very much for the reply, I've put "other" and just wrote myself and girlfriend as I have saved funds. Do you recommend sending online or post with the application? Is having the letters etc a pain putting it through online?

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    I just called the CIC call centre. Sending my CEC then sending my BOWP and hope my AOR is ready in time before they receive it, They said I would not be on implied status as I know I would not be eligible. ( sending without AOR ) LPS, did you continue to work while waiting on your BOWP without AOR?

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Hi LPS, I meant "proofreading" the CEC application before sending it to make sure everything would be accepted. Is there any documents you can send at a later date once you receive them i.e the T4 and NOA as that would come at the end of Feb which would be too late for me to send with my CEC...
