Hi everyone, I received a request from IRCC for more documents for myself (the sponsor) to provide more proof of my time in China where I met my wife, including visas, proof of residency, and proof of entry/exits. I was able to track down a form from the local Chinese police station showing the...

Hey everyone from Team July. What's the general consensus on when people start getting approved for EVERYTHING? I mean, have people who applied in July got approved for PR yet and actually made it here? I know everyone has a somewhat different timeline, but I know 3 people in my town (2 inland...

I've been trying to link my application to my GCKey account for days now, playing the 5x per day game. Today i went to it and when I try clicking the link on this page: Link an application to your online account - Canada.ca it just brings me back to the same page (reloads). I tried it on Chrome...

Hey all. My girl had her medical on Feb 4th, and on ECAS a few days ago i saw that it was updated to "medical results have been received". Checked again today, says the same thing. Neither of us have received an email regarding the medical results. Is this normal? How are people usually...

Hey everyone, I just received another email from IRCC (yay), this time addressed to my wife, the principal applicant. She hasn't received any emails yet, just what i forward to her after i get it. Thought that was odd since we both gave our contact info. Anyways that's not what i'm here here...

Hi everyone, seems like July applicants are picking up steam! January was good to my wife and I as we received AOR1, SA, medical request. She had her medical yesterday, hopefully we'll get the results for that soon. Gave my first try at GCKey today (tried months ago before AOR but no luck). I...

Woooo! Today is a good day! after 175 days of waiting and my wife almost giving up hope in the Canadian government, WE GOT OUR AOR! So happy and excited i can't even think straight! i don't even know what to do or expect next. Tomorrow i'll get back at it and see what needs to be done or what...

Thanks everyone for the advice. And you're right, i am over-thinking it! You should have seen me when i was working on the application! Over-analyzing EVERYTHING! My will be so happy to hear this info. Good luck to everyone in their journeys, no matter how long or stressful they may be!

lol thanks for the heads-up. when did you get your temp #? I assume you called to get it too? seems like we sent our apps on the same day and are in a very similar situation. When did you last see your significant other? any advice to spice up this long distance relationship. I'm one week short...

Hey everyone. I'm sponsoring my wife who is currently in China and i'm here in Canada. We applied in July and haven't heard anything since, until today i called the hotline and spoke to someone who said that our application has been received but not yet assigned to an officer yet. Good news i...

I managed to get thru this morning at 8am on the dot! i gave them what info i can about our application and the woman put me on hold for a bit. She came back and told me that she can confirm the file had been received but has not been assigned to an officer yet. I asked if there were any other...

Thanks so much for the info. Feels good to actually get a response from someone lol. This hotline you speak of, do you mean the 1-888-2422-100 that I saw mentioned earlier in the group? I'll try it today for sure. Thanks!

Also, i see everyone stating the date that their application was received. Is that just the date that it was shipped to Sydney? I sent it out with UPS July 21st, UPS said it would arrive July 24th. Is the 24th my date my application was received or am i missing something? Just paranoid because i...

Hi all! somewhat new to the forum, just checking back in because the waiting process is exhausting (but that's not news to anyone here lol!) Seems like from what I'm seeing on this thread, I'm not alone. I'm sponsoring my amazingly patient wife in China, sent out our application July 21st and...

Hi everyone! Long story short, I'm a Canadian citizen, and recently married my wife (from China) last December. I'm in Canada, she's in China. We were just getting underway with applying for spousal sponsorship when this COVID-19 kicked us in the butt and messed up all our plans. After being...

oops don't know why I said ID instead of birth certificate...she doesn't need to provide a copy of her ID from what I understand. And from how I read it, she doesn't need to provide her birth certificate either since she's born before 1996. when my wife gets the Hukou translated, I assume...

another question I just remembered! so we are submitting our marriage certificates...they provide us with a little red booklet with our personal info etc. and a picture of the both of us. I need these to be translated, correct? just hers, or mine should also be submitted, right? regarding if...

thanks for the speedy reply. honestly, I have no clue about my specific address while living in china. I would go to the police stations with a Chinese person from work once a year or whenever needed and I know they submit paperwork saying where I lived and such but I never saw nor understood...

hey everyone, met my lovely wife in China while teaching ESL the last 7 years. recently got married and working on bringing her over here. On form IMM5532 its asking my addresses the last 5 years. while in China the school I worked for always provided my address and anything I had mailed to me...

thanks mountain man! I've read the guide carefully but I do struggle looking at this kind of stuff and sometimes cant comprehend it as well as I'd like. I'd love to just have a lawyer go through it all with me but I don't have that kind of money, so internet help it is! good call on just having...
