You can't pay online without a credit card anyways, so unless your spouse/partner has one, you're going to have to do it the other way regardless.

They're asking if your application goes outside of Canada. Assuming you're applying outland, since your application is being sent to Mississauga first, your application IS going to Canada, and so you can pay online.

This might not be an option since it's expensive, but if you have the cash to pay for it and you really can't get your card to work, you can always put the $1040 on her credit card and then use it. If her limit is $500, for example, and she has a balance of $0, and you pay $1040, she'll then...

Call your credit card company and see if they're blocking the payment. I used an Australian credit card to pay and it went through fine, it could just be that your company doesn't want to see you making a large, international purchase.

Awesome, thanks! I did do a search but there were so many posts with ecas in the name that I just couldn't find anything!

Is it normal to not be able to access e-cas for a few days after getting the AOR? I type in my (the sponsor's) information and just get "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:" I tried with my husband's info as well and got...

Thanks Sweden, I appreciate the good wishes!

I got my stage 1 AOR... took exactly three weeks and a day from when they received it, so I'm quite pleased with that, for sure!

Woo hoo! I got the email today with my AOR for stage 1!!! I'm really excited!! If whoever does the spreadsheet for October can please update mine with AOR on November 10th, that'd be great :D

You should also be able to pay online, assuming you're doing a family class sponsorship. You just need to have a printer to print off your receipt, but even outland applications can be paid online with a credit card, if you feel more comfortable doing it that way.

Yeah, I know it's still definitely well in the "normal" range, I just want them to get to my app ASAP ::)

It's really nerve-racking, there's a few people here who had their applications received the day before mine who got their AOR a week ago, now I'm worrying because I haven't gotten anything sent to my email address yet!!

You'll have to call that phone number to get the forms and instructions. They will tell you if you or your wife have to fill them out. On top of the forms the CIC will give you, your wife has to fill out a new IMM0008.

Thanks, that's what I thought, I filled out all of those on the sponsor checklist, I was just worried that I missed one!!

Oh dear... I didn't fill out a 5406 for myself (the sponsor). Is our application going to be sent back as incomplete? Should I fill one out and send it to Mississauga now? (I don't have an AOR yet, and so no UCI number of anything)

Congratulations!! That's excellent :D

My husband's sister accidentally wrote our postal code COMPLETELY wrong one day... along the lines of letter number number, number number letter bad and has sent us a couple of things with that as the postal code. It has made it to us fine. As the post above me says, one letter difference in...

You can. You can also do an inland application if residing in Canada. It really comes down to how often you expect to have to leave Canada during the process and how difficult it might be to get back into Canada, and also the processing time. Inland is often faster than many visa offices.

That's from the date they receive it at Santiago. You're not bad off compared to many visa offices which take over 18 months.

No, you will have to go through the same process as everybody else, since almost everybody else is a PR or citizen of Canada, in a genuine relationship and have proof of it. If your husband is in Canada you can choose to do your application inland or outland, and depending on your outland visa...
