Just called CIC, got throughout after the second call and being put on hold for 10 mins. They said that they opened our package last Friday and were working on applications received at the end of July. So hopefully ours and all the rest of us Julyers will hear something about sponsorship...

Have you tried calling CIC yet, prithiv?

I see thanks.

Congrats JimM, can I ask which address did they send it to, your mailing address or your residential address? I wrote down 2 addresses on my application, I just wondering which one they will send it to. Thanks.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Thanks for that info. bagelbagel81. Will wait another week and then give them a call. Getting super anxious now that they have updated the CIC website to processing July 26 applications.

Might give them a call next week. Quick question to those who have called. What kind of info. will they ask you for on the phone to confirm your identity? I want to know so that I can make sure I have all the info. ready like passport numbers and stuff when they ask me. Thanks. And how long did...

With the way they do things at CIC I'm not surprised that many applicants never received AORs or sponsorship approval emails due to them mistyping our email addresses. I really hope they double check my email address before they hit the sent button.

A big congrats bagelbagel81.

Congrads Woffles and to all those who have been approved, I am getting antsy myself. Must be such a relief to be over with stage 1.

So does that mean your wife doesn't have to send in her passport for the COPR?

Have you ever thought about a certified money order/check? Most international banks such as HSBC provide them. My buddy who sponsored his wife to Canada from HK brought back several hundreds of thousands of dollars this way. The service charge is way less than for wiring because you don't get...

OrangeFlame, since Taiwan is listed as a visa exempt country for entry into Canada it may be that your wife doesn't need to sent her passport in since she doesn't need a visa to enter Canada. From what I have read applicants who are from countries that do not require visas to enter Canada do not...

Wow that's unfortunate. The Tokyo used to be one of the faster VOs. I wonder what happens if an interview is requested, do you actually have to fly to Manila?

Wish I had sent my application in between July 16-20. Seems like that was a lucky week to send them in.

Getting your package returned and having to send it back might be a blessing in disguise. Seems that those people who resent it back are sometimes fast tracked for approval. There have been a few cases of that happening recently.

How true. On the Chinese website my wife frequents that's similar to this site there are Chinese men and women advertising to go into a fake marriage and sponsor that person for a fee. They ask for like $50,000cdn for the arrangements. So it's very lucrative. Most of the system abusers were PRs...

I know how you feel I am right after you. I've been checking my email like 3 times a day. Let's hope for some movement before the end of this week.

That's correct. We also are applying from Taiwan. They are sent to Manila then sent to the specific VO when the officer in stage 2 requests it.
