I am so excited and happy to write that my husband's passport was requested today!!! I am amazed at the speed. Good luck to everyone else. Does anyone know how long it will take to get his passport back? We will be visiting Canada in December but won't be moving until July or August as we need...

My husband finished the exam and together they were all $295.000 and paid all at the same place. In the email it says we need to translate everything to English and then send to the embassy in "regular mail." Does this mean we have to translate the receipt from the police check and medical check...

Hello, My husband is going for his medical exam tomorrow morning and we can't find where we wrote the cost of it down. Does anyone know? He's going first for lab work, then chest x-ray, then doctor. Does he have to pay at all three places separately or just once to the doctor? Thank you!

Hello, My husband's application was received two and a half months ago at the Bogota office. I know that is not a lot of time, but I just wanted to make sure that we are only waiting on communication from the embassy for medicals and background check, and that there's not something else we...

Got letter approving sponsorship today! Happy for some initial good news. Hoping the rest is smooth but not too fast! They received application March 4th, so April 2nd seems pretty good.

Hello, I received an email saying the CIC received our application and I could track our application with the UCI number but when I enter the UCI number on the tracker it says it does not recognize my information. How long should it take to appear there? Also, it said it received my...

Karenesp29, I was asking because I wondered how hard it is to prove that a couple living in Colombia will move back to Canada. I don't have a job offer (teaching jobs are slim), so I'm a bit worried they won't believe me. I do have a home, savings, letters from family members, and I so badly...

Congrats on getting sponsorship approval Karenesp29. Are you and your husband applying from Canada or within Colombia?

Thanks tecarf. I wondered about that being an option as well since my last post. It seems to make sense. The timing is so tricky. I guess I should wait to make sure I'm approved as a sponsor before getting too worried about it. Our application is set to reach Canada tomorrow.

Thanks ccunnington. Guess I'm oddly hoping they don't process it too fast. I'm doubting now and thinking maybe we should have waited a bit longer to apply. We haven't done our medicals yet. I was trying to think ahead as I need to know by November 2013 the decision because if we're denied we...

Thanks ccunnington. 7 months would be great. As long as we know by next October, I'll be happy. I went over the file checking for signatures many times so really hope I didn't miss anything. We won't be ready to go to Canada until June 2014 (due to school and contracts). Is there any chance we'd...

Finally sent the application package off. Fingers are crossed and stomach in knots. I hope it's all in there correct and nothing goes wrong.

Thanks ccunington. We'll wait on the police check and call another doctor. Did you do your medical in Bogota? If so, do you remember where?

So my husband called the doctor's office and they said he couldn't come until he has a number from the embassy. Is there no way to get this number before we apply so that we can submit the application with the medical report? Also, where in Bogota should he go for the police report. I see he...

Thanks! It's now done and paid. Just when I think I have it all figured out something else comes up. : )

What's this RPRF and how do I pay it? We haven't submitted anything yet other than the $550 payment. Hope to submit by the end of next week.

Thanks for the replies! It helps!

Hello, We have not submitted our application yet. Is it a good idea to submit the medical now before they ask for it? I would prefer to get everything done now. I just called a panel physican but the receptionist wasn't able to tell me what form I needed to bring. Can you please help and let me...

Hi Fandv, THANK YOU so much for taking the time to go through all of that. I feel hopeful. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. Thanks especially for the family class tracker. I hadn't seen that before! Gracias!

Hello, My husband is Colombian and we both live in Bogota. We were married in Canada this past December and have been together for nearly five years as a couple. We are just starting the visa application process and I'm quite nervous about the time it will take and any complications we might...
