    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    At least for me the UCI number worked with the Sponsor's name and info, and the Application Number worked with the Principal Applican't name and info, but not the other way around. Have you tried logging in to the ECAS in both ways?

    JUNE 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    When would you expect to see "Medical Received"? They received my (principal applicant) application on June 6, started processing the sponsor's application on June 22 and sent the AOR1 June 23, and my ECAS don't show the medical confirmation yet. Thanks everyone!

    Any impacts on London office from Brexit?

    Hi everyone! I was just curious whether anyone knows if the Brexit has any future impact on London office handling other EU countries' Canadian immigration applications? I emailed the embassy but I would be interested in knowing if anyone has any information about this already? Happy midsummer!

    Do We Need A Lawyer for spousal sponsorship application ?

    By application process I meant gathering the application package (you know, no sleepless nights thinking about question number 728 or refreshing canadavisa for hopefully fast answers). Like I said before, I don't think having a lawyer speeds the process once it's up to CIC.

    Do We Need A Lawyer for spousal sponsorship application ?

    If you decide on hiring a lawyer make sure they're practicing as an immigration lawyer. We did a one hour consultation (via Skype) with one at the beginning of the process and at least they were well aware of the options (eg. outland/inland) and had many useful tips. On the other hand there are...

    Do We Need A Lawyer for spousal sponsorship application ?

    Thanks for the info! My experience was just from one case where the application process went very smoothly and the PR was granted in very short time so it seems this couple got lucky finding a good lawyer. It will be interesting to hear people's experience on having a lawyer.

    Do We Need A Lawyer for spousal sponsorship application ?

    I know people who hired a lawyer and they recommended it to us as well (they were very happy with the lawyer's work). But we felt like our case was pretty straight forward, and we felt that we were able to write a strong application without an official help. This forum is also very helpful for...

    I don't have receipts for our shopping. Is it a problem?

    I would send everything that might help your case. It's better to send too much than too little. Just explain in the application what you are sending.

    Development of your relationship

    For my understanding it's alright to say "This question doesn't apply to us" and explain why (eg. "we live together so no need for visiting"). You can also explain (in separate sheet if necessary) that before moving in you were the one who was visiting and explain why (eg. your schedule was more...

    I don't have receipts for our shopping. Is it a problem?

    If the documents are not English or French then yes, they need to be translated. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3999Etoc.asp: "Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by: the English or French translation; and an affidavit from the...

    I don't have receipts for our shopping. Is it a problem?

    I didn't send any receipts but I did send a bank statement from a mutual bank account. Something showing mutual finance management can make the application stronger, but on the other hand, if your case is pretty straight forward those documents might as well be useless, like was told to kbrar2727.

    Hello all the June applicants! Did anyone manage to add their details to the June 2016 spreadsheet? It looks locked to me, but maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks and good luck to you all!

    MAY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Thank you for your answer! I was only thinking about using the webform plus mailing the original anyway, but it's good to have a confirmation that emailing isn't required. For mailing, did you use the same Mississauga address than for the application? I'm just wondering whether the additional...
