Just a correction and good news for you. You won't have to wait until December 2017 if you didn't submit your application this month. The backlog they are working on is not by end of December 2017. They are saying the latest you will wait is December 2017 if you submitted this month. The...

Must be why my application is taking long despite being recommended pass in July. According to McCallum the quota this year for spouses is 60,000 with a backlog of 80,000 applicants. Next year's quota is 64,000. So maybe a lot will be approved in the new year.

So how was it processed before? lol Do they mean to tell us before they were nit picking which application were processed and now it's first in first out regardless if there's complication or red flags?

the Trudeau's are great with their immigration policies. My parents and I were refugees under Pierre Trudeau and now my wife hopefully will be a PR under Justin Trudeau's revamping of the immigration policies. Been waiting 9 months. My wife is due to give birth in 4 months but I'll take the 3...

Wow didn't know that. Well that eases my concerns because my wife and I would be travelling together. My wife would be happy to know this and she thanks you in advance.

I got GCMS notes from early October. In July the VO in Singapore paper screened my wife's application and recommended no wav and recommended passed on the eligibility assessment. He/she had no concerns and said 'appears bona fide. no wav' But haven't heard anything from Singapore and it's been...

I was joking with my wife yesterday she'd be the first person sent back on the plane to her home country because she doesn't understand a word of English. Have they ever sent anyone back because they couldn't answer the questions? Or do they provide translators? just curious.

The processing time for Vietnam at Singapore office just changed to 16 months. Don't know about other countries. What a big difference of 26 months from when I first applied to sponsor my wife. So my application is now at 9 months of waiting and I got 7 more months of waiting to go instead of...

If I remember correctly they ask you to pay the $5 as the last step of submitting ATIP request after uploading your consent form.

It would depend what country you're applying from. You can check processing time here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/information/times/index.asp If you've been waiting more than the processing time you can contact your mp to make an enquiry. Or you can order GCMS notes if possible.

ATIP were pretty consistent in sending out GCMS notes within 30 days until they changed the consent form. I got mines about 100 days late. I requested another one it better not be another 100 days lol or I'll be submitting a formal complaint.

I provided links to my facebook page that has tonnes of pictures including 300 wedding pictures and videos, other videos and candid comments from friends and relatives and username/password to my phone bill prepaid card account and online gift sending account. Wasn't expecting them to actually...

I don't know but I can sympathize with you. Did you order your GCMS notes? I ordered mines and no red flag. In fact the officer recommended no interview and pass. But yet I see people getting passport request even after giving interview and they applied around the time I applied. Just luck of...

Big congratz!!!!

I just got my GCMS note yesterday and fired off another GCMS note request today. What I've heard is that these notes lie independently from the VO's overseas and sit somewhere in Canada. So the VO's don't even prepare these GCMS notes it all comes from ATIP office. That's what I gather so it...

thanks! I guess the Mississauga officer is slow. I had to call them when they went over the processing time for the initial AOR1.

Finally got my GCMS notes after 3 months. Looks promising. In July the officer did the eligibility assessment and recommend passed. As well the officer noted our relationship with emphasis on making numerous long duration trips including a trip that lasted more than a year. Photos taken at...

Finally got my GCMS note that was submitted in August. Looks good I hope. In July my wife's eligibility assessment status says recommend passed and the notes for the officer on same date he/she does the eligibility assessment writes the summary of development and length of the relationship. At...

I fly only EVA and usually book expedia through TD because I have TD first class visa. The few times I booked through travel agent they actually got me a far cheaper price. I double checked the flight with Expedia and the flight doesn't even show up on Expedia until couple weeks later. Don't...

lol I wish this was true. I owned 2 houses in Canada prior to submitting my application. No where on the application does it ask if you own a house and there is no spousal visas in Canada.
