On March 2, 2012, changes to the eligibility requirements for sponsors came into force. These changes bar a previously-sponsored spouse or partner, from sponsoring a new spouse or partner within five years of becoming a permanent resident, even if the sponsor acquired citizenship during that...

Hi! It depends on the Visa Office. I noticed some (like New Delhi, Manila etc) request the passport as soon as the application for permanent residence is received and they keep it until they finish processing. Others (and I think Bucharest included) process the application and decide whether an...

I still hope they will try to balance the waiting on step 2 because of how slow they moved in step 1 for February...

It's not nice. Unfortunately! We're between the very few EU countries that are still required a visitor visa for Canada.. and US. And it's an awful feeling this situation, it's like being trapped in your own country. I can't wait to be free as Canadian lol

We're a country with a high risk for marriage fraud... and fraud in general :))

Let's make you feel better, I understand you so much So I'm sponsored as conjugal partner, which means we're not married and we can't leave together as common law since we're at 8500km appart. So by the time they will send a PPR for your application, after sorting this problem, I will still be...

The applicant has to present Appendix C to the doctor, the doctor completes the form that he sends with the tests and you receive a copy of the form that the VO will use for tracking your results once they need them and which you have to submit with your application and Appendinx C and the...

Congratulations! Maybe this is the last week for February!

They will sort things out! They're maybe lazy, they probably make mistakes, but they will solve this in your favor for sure. I know it's hard not knowing what they're doing, but hold on. You will hear from them, even if now every day seems like a century

I will be here all year also!! :)) 7 excruciating months

I'm sure you will hear from them soon and that they won't delay the process because of their mistake! Keep your head up, almost there

So true! I only hope they will update e-cas once they receive it here at the VO or I'll grow a lot of gray hair in a few months

you're very welcome! Outland (I was already outside Canada when I applied)

It is possible but mostly improbable - depends on a lot of factors: the country you are applying, the ties you have to that country (property/school/job etc), financial funds, and the visa officer's mood that day We applied under Conjugal Partner after I had 3 visitor visa requests rejected...

English pls?

This is scary for me... We just got the sponsor approval and now I'm waiting for Bucharest to receive my application. I was hoping it would be fast... but looking at your timelines makes me :'( :'( :'( ... I still hope I will be with him for Christmas ...

Don't torture yourself, next week you will receive the mail ;) try to fill your time until then

Congratulations, was FAST! Does anyone know the timeline for CSQ processing for family class? I'm facing 6 months of nothing to do except waiting for the visa office to have a look over my file and I noticed on Quebec gov webpage that I can start taking French classes here and they will pay me...

I am so sorry for what is happening with your application, but try to hold on... It's hard an unfair, but you are almost there. I'm sure everything will be ok, except for the lost time

Yeap, and as you said... For years and years the VO timeline was 6 months... I applied and it went up at 7 months :(
