    Sponsor/Partner Questionnaire - Engagement Party

    Hehe no problem! It was just a fleeting thought when we were putting together our application and I was doubtful it was even still up there (the event having been a year before) but it turns out Facebook saves them :) Good luck!

    Photographic Evidence

    We had some different ways of showing photos. Some we had printed out from the computer, four to a page, because (in this digital age) we don't have so many physical photos. Then we got some printed out from our digital copies and included those. All the photos had Post-Its stuck on them...

    Sponsor/Partner Questionnaire - Engagement Party

    I think it's an old fashioned question :P We announced it over a casual lunch with my husband's parents but it was in no means a party. Aside from that, we held a get together with friends at a pub - again, very casual and not really a formal engagement party (like how you see in the movies...

    Do not worry about that at all! We all understand what you are feeling, especially us who've only heard something back in the last week or so. Come here and rant to us about it all, that's what this forum is for ;) Happy holidays to you and everyone else here.

    What have you noticed is different in Canada?

    Well I've not lived in Canada since I was 7 (and my husband hasn't even visited there yet - he'll experience it for the first time next May!) so when I go back I'll be almost like a foreigner myself, having lived in Europe since a child. I'm not looking forward to the items which don't show...

    Congratulations egytabeb! And thank you all who congratulated me :) It really is a nice feeling, knowing that they are actually processing it and looking at it. I'm sure something will come up soon fallenstar831 :)

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    :D I just called up and they confirmed that I have been approved to sponsor and that our case has been forwarded on to London. We are so thrilled. And I finally spoke to a really nice customer service rep :) She was so helpful.

    please help..

    Which stage are you at in the application process (i.e. waiting to be accepted to sponsor) and which offices are you applying through? We need more information before we can help! :)

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    I'm SURE it will be fine, don't worry! I don't recall us signing any photos... and we've had ours processed (hopefully with good news, otherwise I'd assume they'd request new/more photos that are signed?) so they're probably working on yours now :D We also assumed it didn't apply to us. And...

    Thank you everyone - for not only for putting up with me during my worrying, but for your kind words now :P It was indeed a lovely (early) Christmas present. It's actually mine and my husband's birthday this Friday (we both are born on the same day, him 2 years earlier, and yes it is on...

    aw - THANK YOU for saying this! I had lost all hope and resolved to not check e-CAS again, but when you wrote this curiosity got the better of me aaaand... WE'RE ON THERE NOW!! I did a literal double take on the screen. I am so relieved that we know now that they actually are in possession of...

    Yes that's correct using the receipt number, and don't worry about having nothing show up yet, they are only processing applications up to November 27th at the moment so you'd be at the end of that pile most likely :)

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    II agree! lol I tried to explain this to the woman I spoke to yesterday on the phone (at CPC-M) and I was like, "There's this forum I'm a member of for people going through this same process and I've just been getting worried because I can see all the others who've submitted theirs after our...

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    I called again today, just as a last ditch effort. I got a much friendlier person this time who gave me the fax number for CPC-M & told me I can always fax my request to them, but said the same: she can't see if they've received my application or not and has no way of checking. So I'm just...

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    I understand that, which is why I was so apologetic to the guy I spoke to at the call center! But we haven't even had word that they've received our package, so we have no idea if it is waiting to be processed or if it is lost in the mail. If it is the latter, we need to whip up a whole new...

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    That's weird - the person I spoke to told me they couldn't confirm or deny if they'd received ours. Do you think they told you because they had began processing your application the same day you called so you'd just been put in the system?

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    Yeah I called them yesterday but they were of no help - they couldn't even tell me if they'd even received my application, which I should have pressed for but if they can't tell me, they can't tell me. And the guy on the phone told me it was actually taking 40 days now to process applications...

    Yay Sulo! Hopefully it's good news :) Still no word for us. Should I call them? It seems so weird it's taking so long to even get confirmation of them receiving it.

    Thread for Applications sent November 2009

    Their current processing time according to their website is 32 days, but this could vary. You can read the posts in this thread to see where the CPC is at with processing people, to get a rough idea anyway, or you can check trackitt.com but I found that it isn't updated frequently there - not...
