Congratulations Jen85!!!!

2 days :( I was hoping they'd be into June! Oh well, what can you do except wait.

Congratulations!

Nice one MDSB!!

May Ann, I think you can send as many photos as you like. I think I only sent about 25-30 and they cover a period of about 5 years. I think that as long as you are showing the progression of the relationship over a period of time, ie, photos when you first met, trips taken together, family...

Hi alasken, I think it can take up to 40 days before they get to your file and start working on it. See the link below: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp As of June 22nd, they were working on applications from May 17th. Us June applicants still have a little ways to go!

Wow- just saw this thread for the first time today. I'm glad I didn't see it before I sent out my application or I would have felt application envy as well lol!! Sadly, I didn't take any picks with my application, but it was prbably only an inch, inch and a half thick tops. Irishapplicant-...

hi essex0227- I included a letter from an old friend of mine stating how long she's known me for, when she met my now-husband and that she was there at our wedding and reception. She provided her contact phone number and email address and included a copy of the photo page of her passport to...

Yeah exactly. My letter just stated our names, that we had joint bank accounts and that we were in good standing with the bank. The letter didn't mention the account balances, when the account was open or how often we use it. However this all depends on you: if you want to show some sort of...

Hi Boracay, I included proof of my joint account with my husband and the account was only 3 months old at the time. I don't know where you are living at the moment, but I managed to go to my bank in Canada and ask them for a letter stating that my husband and I had joint chequings and savings...

I once asked someone for a torch and they looked at me funny and said, "oh, you mean a flashlight?" As someone whose lived here 6 years now, you slowly get used to changing the way you talk and using the "canadian" words for things.

I grew up in the United Arab Emirates, which is also influenced by the UK, atleast when it comes to chocolate. I miss British chocolate SO much. You can get it in some places here in Toronto, but it's such a rip off, I never bother. $2.75 for a Cadbury Flake- seriously?

Pinklady-can you add me to your spreadsheet? Mailed the application yesterday (Jun 15th)and was delivered to Mississauga today, Jun 16th. I'm sponsoring my Irish husband currently living in the UK.

Just checked my tracking number and application was delivered and received at Mississauga today! The waiting begins..... :(

Sounds like good new to me kweirley! Congrats!

Boracay- we got two family members (one from his, one from mine) and a friend to write letters in their own words. I also asked them to send me photocopies of their passport page (to prove that they are who they say they are). That way they know the letters are from real people and not just made up.

Just mailed my application an hour ago. Should be there by tomorrow!

I live in Toronto, so my package only had to go a relatively short distance to the Mississauga CPC. Cost me CAD23 using Purlator.

Went to the Canada Post office this morning to send out my package and damn Canada Post on strike. Courier companies don't deliver to PO boxes, so I'm gonna send it to the courier address (2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 1200, Mississauga ON L4Z 1H8) via Purlator. I'll lose some time in the...

Thanks MDSB :)
