    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    If you use the shortcut 2-1-1-0 you can get through to an agent without having to key in any application number or anything. Then, if you get in the queue hopefully you can get some info based on personal details rather than an application number. 40 days seems like a reasonable time to call...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Oh ok, good point. Have y Oh ok, that makes sense. Have you ever heard of CIC requesting more documents to support this kind of case or have they tended to simply refuse applications that they deem insufficient to prove common-law? This is directed at @Oulrish but also anyone else who has been...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Thanks for this, probably wise. SInce you have experience sending docs, I have another one for you: do you know if it's possible to send additional supporting documents for your case to CIC and have them consider them for the application? I am asking because I'm worried we haven't provided...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Hi Folks! Since you are all further along in the process than me (September applicant) I thought you may have some insights: I received AOR1 last Wednesday and then those automatically generated letters followed (one confirming AOR to my partner who is the PA and then another on Friday night...

    Don't worry yet, you're still below the average wait time. I sent mine Sept 1st and only got AOR last Wednesday.

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Hey there, my situation is slightly different, but may help. We had all of the info on the back of our passport photos but they were slightly out of date. Fortunately, they gave us AOR regardless. I don't know if a missing date is maybe more serious than an out of date photo, but hopefully they...

    Do you mean that when you click on the Sponsorship status is shows as "we started processing your application on...?" Or something else?

    HAS ANYONE applied for spousal visa from Chile?

    Just to add to that one- we did translate EVERYTHING. We translated FB conversations, WhatsApp conversations, the stamps in my passport showing I have been visiting him, plane tickets from when we were both living in South America but in different countries, etc. etc. It is totally weird to read...

    ****AUGUST 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    That's amazing!! Congratulations! Did you provide piles and piles of evidence that you intend to leave at the end of the visa? What stage is your application at? I wonder if this makes a difference..

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Yes I tried all that.. hmm I guess it's just not in our file yet, though it seems like it was in there for many folks when the linked. I'll give it a few days and maybe send things by regular mail.

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Hi to those of you who have uploaded schedule A: did you have a message in your account after you linked that asked you to upload schedule A? I haven't received a message, and also don't have the ability to upload documents (for that reason I'm guessing). Has anyone been able to upload without...

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Not always the case. I got AOR a couple days ago and linked right away, and don't have any messages. It can, apparently, take a few days for this. In some cases that I've read on this forum (previous months) a msg never appears because of weird glitches.

    Hi all, you are all further along in the process than me (September applicant) but wondering if you have come across similar questions: I received AOR1 a couple days ago ( I am the sponsor), and today in my ECAS (in the account for ME the sponsor) under "Sponsorship Application Status" it says...

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I hear you! We first submitted in April.. had it returned... life happened... finally got it sent away on Sept 1st. I agree that AOR feels like half the battle when you take into consideration all of the elements and details that need to be just right in order to even begin the process! With our...

    ****SEPTEMBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I didn't get the sms confirmation until Sept 5th, but they received it on Sept 1st. However, the AOR says they received it on Sept 1st, so I guess that's the date I should go with.
