Based on what I have read from the Spousal appeal thread here, significant age difference 7+ years can be a red flag to CIC even for married couples

Don't worry, we had the same issue. Their communication is very poor, but right after 2 months sponsorship app was approved and the case was forwarded to Ottawa... at least we got that in the mail. You can try calling call center, they will tell you if it was received or not (make sure you tell...

Hi all, wondering at which point Ottawa typically requests the interview if there is one. Our application has been in process status for about a month now, we have exchanged 2-3 emails with CIC to provide to them additional documentation. The last email (about 2 weeks ago) stated that our...

Where did you get these numbers and 80% :) I could not find it on CIC pages. Please links

I don't quite understand your math here. If 17 months represents time to process 80% of all the applications, where did 79% number come from? did you mean 20% ? ;D

hmm..not on ours, it was just a standard regular mail envelope from CIC (not even sent by courier). I have also used this service before to forward all my mail (does not matter where it comes from), maybe their policies have changed now... I would find out more here...

We have never received any AORs, but sponsorship was approved within 2 months and we got a letter regarding it, mentioning that file has been sent to Ottawa for 2nd stage (with all the UCI tracking info as well) I think Canada post offers a service where they would redirect your mail to a...

Hi, just wondering from other's experience how long this stage typically takes. 10 days a ago we got an email from CIC: We have already sent all original police checks etc, and have sent a follow up email regarding it. Does this mean the application is in its final stages? The status on CIC...

:( I guess we can expect the same scenario... They do say it takes about 8 months for 2nd part after sponsorship approval. So maybe october-november?

Chellycat, we also applied in February with outland forms (US spouse sponsorship). Our application just changed to in process last week and they have requested proof that sponsor still resides in Canada, and like you have there is a line that says application was started to be processed April...

:) Hopefully that's the case. In took about 5 business days for sponsorship app change from *in process* to DM, I am assuming this one will be longer if everything goes well.

Hi all, wondering about other's experience with "in process" times. We have submitted our sponsorship outland forms back in February 2015. Sponsorship application was approved within 2 months and last friday the status was changed from received to *in process* on PR application. They have also...

Hi everyone, We received additional documents request email from cic today. What is the best way to send them? Currier mail or email?

doesn't she need to have legal status in canada if she applies outland?

call them. i'm almost 100% positive you have your SA. for some unknown reason many Feb. applicants haven't received either AOR or SA. we must have gotten in a "no need to notify these folks" pile at cic.

each joint account is worth a 1000 photos for cic ;D money is important. i don't see anything to worry about. if you're really worried, have yours and his family members and friends to write a bunch of letters saying what a wonderful couple you are. letters do have to be in English

we didn't. they don't need to know what you've been chatting about. they just need to know if you've been chatting at all.

i think the best option is for him to leave and apply outland

you put a year after your visitor status expires

np231, try calling again. be persistent. eventually they will have to agree to look up your file. it took us multiple attempts to find out anything. all this "working on Feb 25th apps" is a joke. guys who applied in March & April are getting their AOR and SA in 30 to 40 days
