You can send a case-specific enquiry to London to update both addresses - what they care about mostly is your mailing address. So if your mailing address has changed (either because you had written down the former one from your sponsor, or any other reason), then update them - send a...

Most likely not, but you can always ask. Transfer of files between VO are quite rare and mostly the exception. You should inform them of your new address and date of return to your country of origin, so they can update your file. Once your file has been updated, you can ask them to transfer...

Hej! Are you talking about first stage or second stage? If you have been approved as a sponsor, file transferred to London, then contact the London office to ask about it. Send a case-specific enquiry through the website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/london.asp If...

Nobody can really tell you if you will "keep your place in the queue" or not. From others' experience, it seems that files are processed in order or arrival, but can not be guaranteed...so you might not be pushed back and have to wait another 30 days, but there is no guarantee that it will be...

Visa-exempt means that your husband doesn't need a visa to go to Canada, you could decide to move to Canada before his PR is approved if it made it easier for you to move now. It's the case for most europeans, and most people going through London. These files are usually processed faster than...

AS you applied outland, you can be anywhere in the world - in Canada or outside - and it doesn't change anything. You can stay in Japan and work there while the VO processes your file. As you're not visa-exempt to Canada, they will at some point request your passport. Is your sponsor still...

Hopefully you will be done soon. If not, one month before his visa expires, ask for an extension. There is no maximum number of times extension are allowed, and since the first one was granted, and you should be soon done with the PR process, there is no reason why they would not grant the...

they don't necessarily reply, but at some point ecas will show the updated address - it doesn't happen immediately for most cases...

It's difficult to know how long it will take as it depends on each case. Typically, in London, non-visa-exempt cases take longer than visa-exempt, you can see in my signature the spreadsheet for London. There aren't many minor cases, so you will have a hard time finding a timeline. It's also a...

You don't need to wait for New Delhi. Update the forms about the principal applicant (your wife) to include now your dependent as well (your daughter) so that the PR for your wife will also include a PR for your daughter. Also update the family information form, with the new member of the...

You can send your application now. Add a letter explaining that your wife is pregnant, and that you will add the child to the application as soon as he/she is born. WHen the baby is born, get the birth certificate, the passport, pictures for immigration etc. and send it to your VO (by that time...

Submit the last ones you have, and add a letter explaining the change, and what your wife is making now, how your income comes into play etc. There is no minimum income for spousal sponsorship, CIC just wants to see that you won't go on welfare. So as long as you can show that you have an...

I don't think you would have an issue. Passport is more important than national ID, and some countries don't have them at all. If he had lost it and didn't renew it, he wouldn't have a national ID. So if you don't plan on renewing it and getting a valid one, you can answer no. Sweden

try and not make it too long!! the VO don't really have time to read long essays. If there is something out of the ordinary in your relationship that needs explaining, then elaborate a little bit. If you have a fairly "straightforward" application, then keep to the main "events" (met, introduced...

As Zardoz explained - you don't have any implied status etc. You should always keep your status in Canada, by either asking for an extension if you're staying in Canada (apply for an extension before your current visa expires) OR by leaving the country before your 6 months are up. now - going...

the law varies for each province. You would have to look up the province where you intend to live, and see what their rules are. In BC, you can not hold a BC licence AND another one at the same time. Whether you move from another province, or abroad, you have to surrender your licence before...

Welcome to the forum! You will hopefully hear from CIC with an AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) giving you your file number about 2 weeks after your file has been received, and sponsorship approval about a month after... then your file goes to London, where you wait even more :-) You've been...

Which VO will process your application and where is your wife from ? (country of origin) - that will make a difference. If she is from a visa-exempt country, she won't need to submit her passport most likely. If she is from a visa-exempt country, she will have to submit her passport at some...

then you should be fine. The officer won't care if you're pregnant - the only thing at that point to worry about is that you might not be covered for healthcare when you arrive in Canada, so you should look into that - most insurances won't cover pregnancy costs if you're already pregnant when...

you can apply outland no matter where you are - including in Canada. So yes - you can apply outland, and then be in Canada - quite a common thing for visa-exempt applicants. Having an outland application on-going doesn't give you any status, you would need to maintain your status "on your own"...
