Hey Dan, Thanks for your response. I figured as much, but thought to ask (because what else can i do while waiting for any news from CIC, haha). Good to know about the processing times as worst case scenarios, there is hope!

I had a similar question and since my dad didn't keep letters that had our UCI i simply called the CIC Call Centre. Depends on the agent you get, but they should be able to tell you after confirming your name/dob/country of birth and current address. If one refuses to tell you just hang up and...

To add.. the advice that I read on here and other places is to answer the officer's questions truthfully without giving extra information. If they point blank ask you if you plan to apply for PR (which is unlikely), don't lie. But no need to disclose it ahead of time and saying that the purpose...

Hello all! As you can see we've already submitted the application a few days ago (outland) but based on another thread I started thinking and wanted to get your thoughts. My husband has dual citizenship with Peru (born) and Italy (through grandfather). He lived the majority of his life in...

I was worried about the same thing (even though my husband had a work permit), and its really it's hard to tell. The advice I was reading is to have available as much evidence of ties back home as possible (job, house, etc) and to say that she is visiting you only (which is true). I don't think...

You have to send everything together. Although there are technically 2 parts to the process and application forms (the sponsor and the applicant), a complete application includes everything in 1. They will not look at your application unless you submit everything on the document checklist.

I would say yes, this post has really helpful tips but honestly it really depends for your specific application. Like someone said if your relationship is pretty straightforward with no red flags, quantity may be a bit overkill.

The other thing you can do, even if you reduce the amount, is to do the same idea but keep it simple in a PowerPoint or something. It doesnt have to be pretty, just make sense. I created a slide on each "stage" or meaningful moment of our relationship and did a collage of pictures on each one in...

I was actually panicking for nothing, later got another confirmation with a scanned signature, signed by "S S". No idea who it is but at least it's there, yay! Now just to wait. Also getting a refund from Canada Post since they didn't meet their timelines, so at least there is that.

that's great to hear, thank you!

Thank you for asking the question, because I was just wondering the same thing (kept wondering what AOR stood for, haha).. We sent in Aug 17 and just this morning I got confirmation from Canada Post it was delivered. Unfortunately I didn't know that signatures are not included in Xpresspost and...

Oh I see, thanks! I now have confirmation it was delivered as of 9:38 this morning.. But i forgot to ask for a signature (silly..) so I don't know who accepted it. I assume this is ok? Does CIC send an email to acknowledge they've received it at some point as well? How long does that take?

That's great, welcome! Which office is that, LVO? Also, on a side note, how do people add flags and stats to their profile? It does not seem to be intuitive when I go to my profile page..

I don't think I'm going to recommend anyone using Xpresspost.. They specifically said it will be delivered next business day when I dropped it off at 1pm, and it's only now out for delivery (a day late). I know it's a day, but every day counts when you have police certificates expiring.. On...

That's great, welcome to our very cozy circle :) Which VO will be processing your app?

Ah ok, that makes sense! I thought I saw that somewhere.. I see your name is on the 2015 spreadsheet, did you add your name to the bottom table and they moved it up, or do I have to do something else for it to show there?

Haha I keep hearing of Mahmood signing for packages, and secretly hope we get him too!. Does he know he is sort of famous around these boards? :) I think Sydney and Lima are on similar timelines (10-11 months), let's hope its less! I was doubting myself yesterday because I couldn't find where...

I was struggling with this as well, but decided to create a PPT with each page demonstrating some meaningful point of our relationship and added photos as a collage there. It was done in a chronological manner. In the end, the full print out was about 20-30 pages that i clipped together with a...

I did a search but couldn't find an August thread, so starting one here (feel free to delete if duplicate). Just sent our full application in with Xpresspost, scheduled to arrive tomorrow. :o In total we were at about 200 pages or so, in one envelope, separated by little flags on the side and...

Hello all, I've done a lot of googling, but has not been able to find the exact information that I am hoping will help our specific case. Facts: My fiance is Peruvian, but also holds an Italian passport so is visa exempt for entry to Canada. I am Canadian obviously and we will be getting...
