That's great -- didn't know it would take that long, so we'll hold tight Also had no idea we could check online without actually getting the ID / Ref number from CIC, so I'll take a look at our online receipt. Thanks to you both

Hey everyone My wife and I sent out our outland application (Applying from the UK) near the end of August (August 19 I believe), with a tracked delivery to Mississauga, where they received it a few days later. We have yet to receive any sort of confirmation or communication of any sorts. What...

Magic, thanks so much. You're the man

Perfect - fingers crossed a refund won't be needed! And once the application has been received in Mississauga, will they then mail us or email us a number, or login details? I'm assuming you can somehow check your status along the way? Thanks again

My wife and I are just about to send out the application and have everything neatly organized in 4 parts -- 1. My sponsor forms 2. Sponsor docs 3. Applicant Forms 4. Applicant Docs / Proof. We have a table of contents sort of thing for each section stating what's in it and each document...

Canadianinlove, Great, thanks so much! We've filled in everything except for the Client ID part. So once we ship out the whole lot to Mississauga, what exactly happens at that point? Will we get an email, letter, phone call, (carrier pigeon?) coming back to us saying that it has been received...

Hi everyone, My wife and I have completed the entire spousal visa application and have just printed off the receipt online (applying Outland from the UK). We are going through the checklist to finalise everything and noticed it says the receipt is to be "Properly Completed" -- the receipt is an...

Hey! So we're now at the point of organising our entire application. I've read that all photos, copies, etc need to be loose and not paper clipped, etc. This seems like it might be difficult to tie each photo and copy to a specific section of the application. Does anyone here know of a previous...

Hey everyone, Hopefully this'll be a quick one! Just gathering together everything and putting the whole application together and found this part, which I am unsure of. We have copies of passports, previous spousal visa for me (Canadian citizen, have been living in the UK with my wife for three...

Bump -- any suggestions? We've got old rent agreements, council tax bills from when we first moved out in 2010, just no old chat logs and phone bills. Is that necessary? You'd think my spousal visa for the UK will count for something as well?

Hey guys! I'm a Canadian citizen by birth, my wife is British. We've been together for 7 years, married for 3 -- I've been living in the UK for roughly 6 years. We obviously have my spouse visa(s) that I have obtained here in the UK; we had a wedding three years ago in the UK and another one in...

Magic -- thanks so much to both of you. And good luck with the application DanOCan!

Bump Anyone have a quick example of what they did??

I'm sure someone has asked this before, but I have gone through a few of the threads and cannot find an answer to my question. Was wondering how others went about presenting their proof documents (ie. emails, photos, etc.). It says to provide them as "loose", but on the application form...

Unreal -- so we pay for the application/visa fees, ensure that the application is tip top and accurate, get all assessments and checks done, but if they happen to take longer than a year on their part, we have to pay for it. Seems a bit unfair! Thanks for your replies everyone!

Gotcha, thanks very much For your response -- any idea if they pay for the second exam? From what I can see (and please, anyone, let me know if I'm *hopefully* wrong in this), but it seems like the assessment is around the £300, which is pretty steep! Wouldn't want to pay for it twice if avoidable

Hey guys and gals, My wife is currently going through the spousal visa application and we're about to book her medical assessment and send the whole package away. Quick question, though -- it seems that in the London forum (we're in Edinburgh, so would be going through the London office), many...

That's great, thanks everyone for all of the helpful info. Really appreciate your input

MilesAway, I saw your post earlier about the 8-12 months, but on the http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp#europe link it shows it as 28 months. I thought it seemed a bit long. Thanks for the suggestion Evadyrrehs, great idea. Think that sounds like the best idea...

Hi all, Just got home and spoke to my wife, we had a look online and the Processing Time for the London Office says 28 months! How can this be possible if the COPR is only valid for a year after the medical assessment? Thanks for your response Evadyrrehs -- how long have you been waiting for...
