    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Lots going around about the Schedule A and how to sign it. The FORM says ‘typing your name is an electronic signature.’ However; the letter from IRCC in my GCKey account says specifically that I might sign it using a real hand signature. And as they say ‘upload, don’t mail’ as well, the ONLY...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Is this better in its own thread? It could get lost in here. In its own thread, you might find more views. Good luck - in my experience, if you say something you usually have to back it up with some evidence. So if you say this is the situation, is there any way to verify this with the Mayor's...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I agree it’s confusing - but as the only way they give you to deal with this is via the GCKey portal, and I think also says not to mail it (or on my letter it does anyway, others letters may vary!) - the only way I could do it is fill, print, sign, scan, upload.

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    The instructions on the checklist (remember that in your application pack) to electronically sign it. I think what they are looking for now, at the end of the process is a signed proclamation. So the instructions this time state specifically ‘upload a signed copy’ to GCKey. Note also that...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Being efficient gov staff, surely the notification of a submission comes up and they jump on it straight away.......?! ;) Yep - exactly as you said. Luckily we have some cool printer/scanners at work. I can print it, sign it, check it, and scan it back into a pdf. :) I also understand we get...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    There was me hoping that I could go ahead and submit one and then the other (y'know, so they could look over the one and sign it off, right... because NOTHING HAS CHANGED).... but too scared to incase it just takes the one and I have to use the dreaded WEBFORM. Can't find ANY help on this...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I just got my "Please send a new Police cert and an updated Schedule A with your signature on!" I guess I made it into the 'IN' pile too! So good to hear this, and from you all too. One question! I have looked in the 'Upload a document' area in GCKey, and there are the two lines - one awaiting...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    No problem! However, I just sent myself through a loop as I thought I had a letter saying I'd not paid the RPRF (right to perm residence fee) -but misread it. It said 'IF you haven't paid..' not 'You haven't paid..' I hope to have some sanity left by the end of this!

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    OK - I can't find a copy of what I've actually sent, as I printed two copies instead of actually copying EVERY page. However, the documents I printed had my name written in. Very clearly on the Schedule A form it says: "I agree that by typing my name I am electronically signing my...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    What's the recommendation for getting updated notes? I'm a month to go to the 'deadline.' I've got last month's notes which don't show any updates since March. Should I order more up to date notes? To find out what's going on? To nudge the system? What's your advice as those who have been...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Interesting one - I'm going to check my photocopies and make sure I did sign that one! Thanks for the headsup! A lot of the forms had specific instructions about original signatures - but can't remember (it was nearly a year ago now). I THINK I signed in ink everywhere that they indicated -...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I’m a Brit with a Canadian wife, both living in UK. 13 August the forms were logged. Did medical and fingerprints end of last year, transferred to London UK around that time. Nothing since. I’ve also applied for ATIP GCMS notes (or rather, my wife did on my behalf as only a Canadian can) and...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    I had "application locked in on 2018/08/13. Case held as per Back Office program" on mine. Seen this queried elsewhere but no answer - what does this mean exactly? Anything to worry about?

    I've seen 'contact MP' on this board a lot - what does that mean? A UK MP? A Canadian MP?

    Bringing dual citizen children with us - sanity check

    Oh wow - in all my research, I did NOT spot that Canada's tax year is different!!! It's a little late in the day to understand the 90 day thing you've written there, but I'll figure it out when I read it again later (!) I think I already read that I have to inform HMRC as you leave (trust us...
