Congratz!! Hope you have a lovely visit with your family :)

I think the difference in Quebec is that the "spousal" approval is done separately - Quebec needs to approve the sponsor first. Once it's done the residency applicant gets a "CSQ" which is then sent to CIC. Many things in Quebec are different than the rest of Canada! As far as I know, all of...

That is news! I shall check that out as well as I thought health care was only offered after the AIP was issued.

Hi Alurra71, I have a similar timeline to you, but we've applied through Quebec so if you haven't it might be different... We sent in the application around Nov 25th and it's marked as received on Dec 5th, 2012, AoR Jan 21st, 2013. As for the waiting, we called CIC two weeks ago to see if we...

I think that's what we paid too - plus the $35 for the scan at the hospital!

Hi jg84, we're doing well, although stressing a lot! This slow down really has us worried too. It's been 7 months now since we applied, CSQ went sent to CIC in March, and we still do not have an AIP yet. We're lucky that we're together - I know some people are apart, but my guy would sure like...

Congrats Serenity! :)

Congratulations! You must feel amazing :)

Ohh! Happy Birthday!! Yes, we are very lucky these days with technology. Hope you have a lovely day :)

Thanks so much for posting that information! I'm 100% with your last comment. ;)

Hi QuebecOkie! Where did you see that the strike might not be affecting Inland applications? I was so sad to read about the strike yesterday. It would be great if we could try to figure out if they are, or aren't affected. I know that the date for "currently processing..." hasn't moved from...

Hi Vananana, I had the exact same concern as you! I called them about 2 weeks ago and they confirmed they'd received it. I was also told they understood the messaging was a bit confusing. If you had your CSQ two months ago you're on a similar timeline as I am. I haven't heard anything from...

He's from Cardiff. I will admit that when I first moved over there it took me a little while to stop calling people "English", and I definitely fell into the 'un-educated-about-the-UK' camp myself! It probably doesn't help that when actors come over from the UK they tend to adopt the "typical"...

Hi Sweden! Thanks for the reply! I've found a Quebec Inland thread, which is perfect. ;) I called CIC today and was told that they have received our CSQ, and that the letter from them requesting it can be a bit confusing. The guy was super nice and was quick to get the info I needed.

He does, and usually responds with "I'm from the UK". Sometimes they ask for clarity after, but that might also be an accent thing! The conversation can often turn into a discussion about what comprises the "UK", and of course "Where's (or "what is") Wales"? ;) He likes it here very much :)

Hi jg84, thanks! He's from Wales. :)

Hi Tomorisu! It's great to know of someone else who is on the same timeline as us! :) It seems that some applications are going much faster than the 6 + 8 months listed on the CIC website. Here's hoping this trend continues :) Little update - I got through to CIC and they said they have...

Hello everyone! I posted this on the wrong thread and a kind person redirected me to Inland :) I'm sponsoring my common-law partner, who is British. We live in Montreal and have applied from inside Canada. Here are our dates, some which come from the On-line services site: - December 5th 2012...

Hello everyone! I just found this forum and wish I had months ago! I'm sponsoring my common-law partner, who is British. We live in Montreal and have applied from inside Canada. Here are our dates, some which come from the On-line services site: - December 5th 2012 - Application received -...
