Thanks for that - I knew that about Thursdays but had forgotten about it. That will make tomorrow a little easier - no email checking tomorrow! I have a feeling it will be very soon. With this change in the weather here in W-wa, it feels like change is in the air. [edit] Checking my records...

We do expect our next communication from the VO to be by email, yes. All of our communications so far have been by email. The acknowledgement letter and sponsorship approval both came to my email, and the passport scan request came to my wife's email. I make it a pretty regular habit to check my...

Ahh, nice to see another recent Warsaw applicant. Honestly ours would have been a little faster I think but I dragged my heels getting a document together that the office requested. Otherwise our timelines look very similar. I'll certainly post to this thread next time I hear back from them...

Wow, well I guess you're the early leader :). But from what I understand, you've also been pretty active in other threads, helping folks out, etc. So there's no shame! I actually started trying to limit my log in time when I noticed it was keeping track. When I'm done on the forum I'm sure to...

Mine has said 'in process' for around three weeks now, but no further changes yet . . . And congratulations to William Coates 1) for finishing the process and 2) being post number 1000 to this thread!!

Oh, I don't care about their names, I just mean from a nerdy statistical perspective, you could start compiling all kinds of interesting data with even just their initials. It's going to be a big week with lots of approvals and status changes . . . I can feel it coming :D

Ha! An interesting detail. I just went back and checked my sponsorship approval letter. "Officer RSI." I had not noticed that before. Probably officer "Repetitive Strain Injury!" So now we can add another column in the database and go back and evaluate the efficiency of the various officers...

I think it's a great idea. Signing up to study online can be very easy, but if you're not officially a resident, you may have to pay higher fees as a foreign student. The nice thing about studying online is that you can adjust your courseload to enable you to work once you're allowed to. One...

My stage one AOR letter from Mississauga contains the following paragraph: Our stage 2 AOR from our Visa office contains the same information, but instead includes the contact information for our local VO instead of Mississauga. If I were you would call Mississauga first and see what they...

We're finally back in the game. Finally got the additional document I needed today, so this evening sent it in to the VO with the scanned passport pages . . . So we'll see how quickly things go! Almost done . . .

When I come to the forums, I click on the link at the very top left of the page "Show new replies to your posts." Then when it shows the threads with new posts, I click on the little blue "NEW" word before the long list of page numbers. That seems to work for me; it opens up this thread to where...

Hey, Congrats! So by the looks of it you're the first one from the November group. Must be nice to be done the whole process . . . except landing of course. Nice to have a fast VO! Our VO is actually waiting on *us* right now. I still have a couple of weeks to send them our scanned passport and...

Iloha - congratulations! We're hopefully not that far behind you. Must feel a strange feeling to have the actual document in hand. And getting some supporting documents back - think of the frequent flier miles those docs have accumulated! What I wonder is what the offices do with all the paper...

Bscinto92 - a very happy birthday to you and congratulations on getting the sponsorship approval! I understand it's been a long nervewracking wait for you! Just think, all those days you spent worrying about it and you've had the approval for such a long time! My suggestion is to take the...

We just left those sections blank on the computer validated forms. However, on the forms I filled on the computer that allowed me to write N/A, I did so.

Thanks for that. It's all a little mysterious I guess. I guess there's no point reading other threads about it because it probably really depends on the visa office. In any case, it doesn't really matter for us, I'm just curious. I'm like a 15 minute bus ride from the Embassy so I'll do...

Thanks Ryathe and iloha for the answers! Our medical was done in August, so that's great to hear that we should have until then to move to Canada. So much to do! I have to admit I'm a little confused still about this passport issue. Maybe I'm missing something or I just have totally understood...

Shronak, Thanks for that. Interesting, I don't remember them asking for scans of my wife's passport with the initial application (other than the first page). With this email they asked for a scan of every page. No worries, I'll get it done!

Hey Warsaw folks, Just checking in . . . we got an email from the Warsaw office this morning asking for: 1. Me to confirm my intention to reside in Canada (i.e. proof I've looked for a job or got one) 2. Scanned pages of my wife's passport. So, good news! I'm still happily impressed at how...
