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

    Hey guys! Remember me? We submitted a bunch more information within 45 days, and finally got DM and passport request 2 weeks ago! Wasn't a lot of things - affidavits from sponsor and a friend in Toronto, PhD application materials for sponsor with timeline, and grad school materials from me with...

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

    Gonna wing it. Since in theory the sponsor MUST return to Canada by September 2018, it makes sense for him to return once PR is granted to set things up and such. Now just need to gather enough papers. Thankfully now is smack in the middle of school application cycle, so we can submit it as...

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

    I think we're in trouble because we initiated the process too early. Received a letter from CIC saying they are not satisfied with the sponsor's intent to return to Canada "once PR is granted" and they need proof within 45 days that the sponsor plans to reside in Canada once the PA gets the...

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

    Can someone explain the relationship between "Decision Made" on ECAS and transfer to VO? My sponsor's ECAS says "Decision Made" for sponsorship approval, but file hasn't been transferred to VO, bcg hasn't started, and no medical request. Unable to reach CIC on call center number, so just...

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

    That's very short. Is the toll-free number 1-888-242-2100? I've been calling outside Canada 1-613-944-4000 with no luck. There's an "Application Number" (is that the one?) and a "Unique Client Identifier."

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

    This is interesting. Does my sponsor need to submit the request? It says "only Canadian citizens, PRs, and persons present in Canada." Does he then submit on his behalf or information about my case file? How do I know my "File number"? I'm just trying to chat with an agent and confirm that so...

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

    Can someone tell me how to call CIC outside of Canada and get through a real person? I'm constantly getting "we are experiencing a high number of calls and are unable to connect you" after 10 minutes of pressing numbers on a keypad to finally reach the option of speaking to an agent.

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

    Can someone confirm how to quickly reach an agent when calling IRCC? I'm calling +1 (613) 944-4000, and there's SUCH a long process to get to "to talk to an agent". I have to enter my application number, year of birth, listen to a long rehashing of GC Key messages about "your background check...

    Planning to call them next week, because it's been radio silence for a while now! No background check, no medical request, nothing.

    Wow, we did the same thing! I wonder how crucial this is.....maybe I'll mail a corrected form in? Can't see a phone conversation being very useful.

    OUTLAND approved sponsorship then STUCK in Mississauga ... GATHER HERE ...

    Oh hi guys :D Has anyone in this thread received requests for medical? I'm in the April thread, and I'm still waiting. Though my schedule A and PCC didn't get acknowledged until June 19th or so.

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

    Hi guys, I still haven't received any medical request or background check notifications. Looks like they got my Schedule A/PCC finally at the end of June - MyCIC changed to "we have received documents" on June 19, and I got an email "we have received your documents and forwarded to responsible...

    FINALLY GCkey now says "The additional documents you provided have been uploaded.", but not sure when this changed. Unable to see any documents in the GCkey account......but they appear to have received them. ECAS is still at "application received". When should I get a request for medical...
