There could be a route I'm not aware of but I didn't think it was possible for an aunt, never mind a distant one, to sponsor a relative to come to Canada. Are you sure your aunt is able to sponsor you?

I sent both pdf and doc files in response to the document request from CIC. This might be stating the obvious but how what format of files are you sending them and how big are they?

Sorry but unless there's further details in this case which haven't been mentioned by crgey it seems most like the case of the "Ricardo" example in that link and neither this or that case seem to be particularly unfair to me. It's clearly stated at multiple stages through the process that you...

Yep, if your application was already denied because you failed to declare her previously then your new application will be denied for the exact same reason. Unfortunately getting married doesn't change your circumstance at all.

Congrats! :D I'm more certain than ever we're going to be seeing a load of Ottawa DM's in the next two weeks now

Condition 51 is the only clearly defined two wait period in the process so it's the only thing he can be talking about. I agree it's a technicality and that really folk already are permanent residents from when they land, but he's certainly not talking about reducing wait times to zero for...

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the two year conditional permanent residence (ie. Condition 51 on many peoples COPR). So it would be a simple case of abolishing that requirement. He's not talking about the wait time between submitting an application and getting your permanent residency...

Just been having a bit of a play about with the various spreadsheets to reassure myself that the end might actually be in sight. This is by no means comprehensive but looking specifically for users who got DM's in the last few months at Ottawa who got document requests in the months beforehand...

The asking for proof of intent to return seems to be standard procedure as pretty much everyone gets asked for it, so you might well be ok with resending the relevant information and write a decent up-to-date cover letter explaining when you intend to return and what you're going to do when you...

It seems like Ottawa are processing in batches now as a whole load of other folk got the exact same email at roughly the same time as I did last month, and now there's a load of folk also being processed at Ottawa who have gotten this email today. For the proof of intent to return are you as...

They can and probably will ask for additional documents right up until you see Decision Made on your application. If you're applying outland Ottawa seems to ask pretty much everybody for additional evidence of the sponsor's intent to return but don't do that until the later stages of the...

Maybe it will affect the wait time for family sponsorship and other immigration routes or maybe it won't. I for one don't particularly care if it does. The wait sucks but at least I'm in a safe and comfortable place right now, that's not something the vast majority of Syrian refugees are...

I used DHL. Was able to send it from one of their service points at my nearest Homebase and 'only' cost £30. Tracked all the way there as standard and they send you a receipt including the signature of who signed for it in Mississauga.

The "batch" theory is definitely my thinking. Doesn't make sense for everyone to suddenly all be getting the same document request emails on pretty much the same days My betting is we get a load of Ottawa DM's before the end of the month... and maybe even sooner :D

The quicker times for recent Outland UK applicants is slightly misleading and there's really not a lot to suggest if you reapplied outland you would get residency in 4-5 months unfortunately There was a significant proportion of applications at the the end of 2014 and start of this year which...

Did you just pay the RPRF fee last month? I think a lot of people, myself included, got the RPRF 'request' but had already paid. While I'm definitely trying not to get my hopes up too much it definitely feels like Ottawa is moving at a decent pace now and seems like there's a lot of folk...

Just ignore it "If you have already submitted your police certificates, do not apply for or submit new documents. We will contact you once your application has been reviewed by a visa officer." It seems to me like Ottawa are pushing applications through in batches and it's an automatic email...

I just got the exact same Police Certificate Request email just now from Ottawa (submitted it up-front) ..and also got the request for proof of intent on the to return on the 21st of August along with payment of RPRF and submission of medical (submitted both of these up front too) It seems...

For the passport it probably wouldn't hurt to send them a scan of your new passport to the London email address with your details. If they want a paper copy I'm sure they'll ask for it. As for the additional documents, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean but how do you know which...

We didn't provide an original letter from the employer as it would have meant having to tell my partner's employer almost a full year before leaving that she was going to be quitting her job, which wouldn't have been an ideal situation! We sent a copy of the letter she got when she first got...
