I meant to mention as well that my ECAS hasn't been working for the last few days, and we didn't receive any notification by email either.

Hi everyone, Delighted to announce that my common law partner's COPR arrived in the mail today in the UK! Although I haven't been posting much on here, I've been checking the site at least 3 times a day since September, lol. Our timeline is: application received in Mississauga June 28, file...

For all of you who are planning to arrive or have arrived in Canada before receiving COPRs - what exactly is your plan? I don't completely understand what the COPR is or how this whole process works. When you eventually receive approval from London, will you have to submit your passport to the...

Should I be concerned if I still can't access Ecas a week after sponsorship approval?

Hi all, My common law partner and I filed our application on June 28 and the file was transferred to London today. Here's hoping things move quickly in London for all of us! I have to say, I'm looking forward to taking a short break from obsessively checking my email and this forum (which is...

Well the CIC website now says they are working on applications received July 4th...so looks like they forgot about my partner and I (and a few other of us June applicants)! The way that this process works absolutely infuriates me. I can't believe that CIC keeps us guessing as to whether we will...

Hello, you can add me to the June spreadsheet as well. I applied to sponsor my common law partner on June 24 (the Visa Office will be London) and my application was received by CIC on June 28. Still haven't heard anything from them and feeling increasingly anxious and frustrated about it...

Hi everyone, I know that one of the CIC Operation Manuals explains that it is possible for people who have already cohabited for one year, but are now temporarily apart, to apply as common-law partners: "After the one year period of cohabitation has been established, the partners may live...

Great. Thanks for your advice! CIC told me they were not sure what I should do. Not particularly helpful!

Hi everyone! My common-law partner (who is from Manchester) and I are almost ready to submit our application for permanent residency. However, there is one thing that we are confused about and we haven't been able to get a straight answer from CIC. Does my partner need to have his medical...
