Hi Colleen, My husband has just left the Royal Marines. Our application has been transferred to London and we are awaiting to hear anymore from them. I am wondering if we should just do the military police check and send it to London to pre-empt them requesting it. I am wanting to get this whole...

I'm in a similar position to you. I am 9 months pregnant. My husband has just left the forces. I have lived here in the UK for nearly 9 years. I am CDN and have just been approved to sponsor my husband. We are staying with my parents too when we get to Vancouver. I don't think i filled that form...

I was thinking the same. We have been gathering everything since before Xmas but because we went back to Vancouver at Christmas we thought we had better wait til we got back to send in our application. How wrong we were. I am contemplating calling the Visa Office to ask if they have the...

Thank you for this, it is nice to see what kinds of times other people are facing too.

My husband lived in Canada previously as well. He actually lived there from 14 to 22 when we got married and moved to the UK. How long after you getting approved as a sponsor did it take for them to ask for fingerprints? My husband worked in a job in Vancouver where he needed a criminal record...

Why do the RCMP want fingerprints? Is this for everyone or people who have lived in Canada before? I thought the police check was all they were after? Please tell me we are not going to have to fill in more bloody paperwork!!

I'd love to know what it is like through the London office. :)

We sent our medicals in way ahead of our application being received in Ontario. The doctor sent it to London directly. They were a bit confused in London though as I stupidly thought I had to have a medical as well as my husband (waste of 130 quid there). They sent me a letter back saying I...

We sent our medicals (copies of receipts) with our application and the medicals went straight to the London office back in February. We know I have been approved as a sponsor but don't know anything more than our application has been forwarded to London. I am desperate to hear something from...

Does anyone know how they actually process the applications in London? Is it typically a stack of files they open and work their way through one by one or do you think that they actually look at the applications and say "this one looks straightforward." I know this is Immigration and it is...

Canucks78, I checked the website and we are in the same position as you. the CIC website says exactly the same as yours and when you click on the 2nd page it says medical report received. I was wondering what happened next too, or any idea of time frame from this point.

We are in the exact same position as you. I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and a Canadian citizen. I am sponsoring my husband who is British. We have been approved so far. We are moving to Vancouver in august. My husband needs to come back to the UK to write university exams in October so he...

Thanks Sweden, yeah married 8 years, husband lived there for 9 years and we got married there. He just never got his citizenship and we moved to the UK so he could join the armed forces (UK). we are expecting our first baby in a month. All of our families live in Canada so it's kinda like going...

Hi everyone, we just got our email saying I was approved to sponsor my husband on May 31st and the application is off to London. We sent in the medical and as far as I know all the documentation. I know the CIC website says 7 months but does anyone know if they are actually taking this long or...

Got our letter today saying we have been approved for Stage 1 and our application is on its way to London. We sent our application in on Valentine's Day so fingers crossed for anyone waiting still.

Thank you so much for the phone number. I have been looking for ages online to try and find one and the London office were useless (and completely rude). I just want to know they have the application. That is my main priority. I just called the phone number and some very uninterested guy told me...

We sent our application from the UK around the 12th February by mail. Because we mailed everything in we don't have a UCI number to check the website. I contacted London who told me I had to contact Canada but cannot ring the Call Centre from the UK (it won't connect). Has anyone had a similar...
