Did you get a separate message saying they'd started your background check? And what does it say for your review of eligibility? Am I correct in assuming your background check doesn't start processing until after you meet eligibility requirements? Our application is staying in Mississauga but...

I don't know anything about express entry but there is a forum for that type of visa, you could look around on there. It sounds like others have more expertise on this topic than me and they've given you some more advice on what you can do. Good luck!

Oh sorry, i just assumed you were with her in Spain. My mistake. In that case it would be conjugal partner. If she were to qualify for a different type of visa which got her into Canada for a year then after that you could apply as common law.

If you've lived together for a year you can be classed as common-law and apply in that category. Otherwise I think you can apply as conjugal partners but I don't know much about that (I have applied through common law route with my fiancé). I think it's possibly more difficult to get approved...

Thank you! Three months would be wild but any quicker than London will be fine by me :D

I had an email today informing me my family member's application will be processed in Mississauga. Does this mean no AOR2? We live in the UK so I assumed it would transfer to LVO. Am I correct in thinking it *might* be processed quicker in Mississauga than in London?

I used this dumb wizard when seeing if my partner could apply for a visa and it also told me that he wasn't eligible. It was really through reading these forums that I discovered it's not true!

Mine said decision made a few days before I got the email. I think it was about three days.

Yayyyy I've got an update! Received my sponsor approval July 17th. 'Decision made' had been showing since the 13th and finally got the email through. Fiancé will have his medical next Friday in Manchester. Can anyone shed some light on what he should expect from it? He's waiting on an...

Yes we are living in the UK now so have no choice really. All the panel physicians near us work at a special 'Medmigration' clinic where all they do is medicals for visas... suppose they can charge what they want that way! It's robbery! $200 is much more reasonable though I still think it's a lot.

Yes got the AOR email to me (sponsor) on Wednesday, then medical request on Friday. Our application was delivered by FedEx on June 1st, so around 39 or 40 days before AOR? Just found out the medical will cost £315!!! Can't believe it's that much.

Is it time for me to be added to the spreadsheet?! Applied outland common law, currently living in the UK so London should be our VO. Application received in Mississauga: June 1st 2018 AOR1 (email to sponsor): July 11th Medical requested (email to PA): July 13th That's all we have so far. Now...

Today my fiancé (PA) got an email requesting his medical be completed. As far as we can tell he has received no other correspondence before this. I'm assuming this is all good stuff - I was so worried I would have missed something or made a mistake in the application, but if they're asking for...

The email is signed 'CPC-Mississauga I posted mine in May so that was before the new instructions to send to Sydney, I think?

Hello! My application was received on June 1st. It was sent by FedEx from the UK to Mississauga. I got an email today (July 11th) saying my application to sponsor was received. Is this AOR1? I logged in to check the application status using the UCI in the email and it shows both our...

Hello! My application was received on 1st June 2018 (sent with FedEx from UK to Mississauga) but I've just got my email today from CIC to say they received my application to sponsor. I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my British fiancé. Should I be in the July group because I've got this email...

Thank you Hurlabrick! I've had my share of bad experiences with Canada Post too, so I was very sceptical of the whole thing! I'll be off to the FedEx depot on Wednesday hopefully and then will post details here to add to the spreadsheet. Thanks again :D

After about 4 months of working on this application (everything takes twice as long with a newborn baby!), we are finally ready to submit our common law family class application! This might be a stupid question but what courier have people used to post applications from the UK to Canada?? I'm...

I'm a Canadian citizen living in the UK, marrying my British partner in September with plans to move to Canada with our baby (born in UK; about to apply for his Canadian citizenship card) when my UK visa expires in May 2019. Our plan right now is for the three of us to enter Canada together in...
