Hi all, Glad to see status moving along for most people, and have my fingers crossed for the rest! We just got an email today from our VO asking us to send scans of my wife's passport pages. Is that the 'passport request,' or does the VO actually request the physical passport at some point to...

Hi Ttcdfolk, Our Alberta destination is my childhood home of Red Deer where I have spent most of my life, but after that, we'll see! Not too sure where the winds will blow us once we get our feet back on the ground in Canada. What about you? Grzybek

Hello, Happy greetings to all . . . we haven't checked our emails in over a week since we're doing a little travelling. Anyway, my wife opened her email this afternoon to see that she has her stage 2 AOR from our visa office in Warsaw who has our application now. I see from looking at the...

Many thanks to Sweden and RM15 for updating the spreadsheet! It's interesting to see all of this information. It would be interesting to know the actual numbers of applications CIC actually gets in a month . . . I guess this information is available on a quarterly basis from CIC someplace, but I...

Our application is now being forwarded to the Warsaw office.

A redesign would be great! Reading Canadian government websites makes me dizzy. I end up going in circles, links pointing to other links, similar pages with different titles but identical content, etc. It's like falling down a spiral staircase over and over again.

I recently found on Reddit a thread about Canadian immigration. Check here if you want to see some questions and answers from an employee who works to organise immigration applications. Some of it is pretty general but some of you may find it useful: Unfortunately I discovered I'm not allowed...

I remember reading the instructions somewhere about the barcodes and putting them on top and I forgot to do so. I guess it didn't cause me any problems. I think our application ended up in three separate sections. I just used little folders: 1 for my sponsor forms, checklist on top, 1 for the...

Well it appears I'm in line now too to test the speed of the Warsaw office. We just got our AOR and sponsorship approval letter today at the same time. I am completely blown away because our application only reached Mississauga on the 23rd, and I was already approved as a sponsor on the 29th...

Thank you! I had certainly not expected to receive the AOR and sponsorship approval together on the same day. Maybe they're doing a bit of an extra 'push' before the holiday season, getting new applications dealt with?

Hello all, I have to add a second 'speedy' report. I opened my email this morning to see two emails from CIC - one with an AOR for receiving our application on November 23, and the second was the sponsorship approval letter! I am amazed and impressed with the speed of all of this - I certainly...

Hey nicelina, congratulations. It's encouraging to hear since we just mailed our application this week. Nice to know there are people coming out the other end of the process intact as well! I'm interested in the timeline of how this will all go for us. I didn't know that the medical is only...

I found them slow to respond to email too. I would recommend putting your phone number in your email - they eventually replied to me asking for my phone number to make things a little easier. They were very helpful on the phone. We had some questions for them about translations, but in the end...

Hello Warsaw gang, I just joined the November 2012 applicants thread and thought I would check in here also. We just sent our application from Warsaw to Mississauga yesterday by UPS. I was told over the phone from a representative of the visa office in Warsaw who said that for family class...

Greetings all, Been lurking here a bit for ages, just finally sent our application yesterday. It's my first post to the forum so I'll post my info here as I can't PM the spreadsheet maintainer: Visa office: Warsaw Medical Done: 28-Aug-2012 Application Sent: 21-Nov-2012 Application Received...
