    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    have you ordered your notes to see what the hold-up is? 18 months is ridiculous to not even have started processing medical and security!!

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    there is no way possible, short of cancelling your outland application and re-applying inland - if that pilot program is still running. and no, if you applied in December, it's almost guaranteed your application won't be processed by May. sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    did they give you a tracking number for the letter? can you contact your post office?

    ECAS

    yes, that's what that means. when you submitted your application, you would have chosen your preferred method of contact - so if you chose mail, your sponsor will receive a letter in the mail, and if you chose email, your sponsor will receive an email saying whether they were approved or...

    Questions About Outland Sponsorship

    1, when sponsoring a spouse, there is no financial minimum you need to meet. some people have done as you have done and explained to CIC how you will support yourselves, but you will not be refused based on your income. 2, sorry, I can't answer this, but check out this thread where you should...

    question about taxes

    I can understand that living together before marriage is the norm these days, and would have been the case if my husband had been living in Canada, but it shouldn't be a blanket protocol. seeing as my husband can provide proof of the fact that he was living on the other side of the world, they...

    Decision Made?

    no, we didn't get asked for anything at all.. got DM on Christmas and got our COPR at the beginning of January, nothing else :)

    Decision Made?

    yay, congralations!!! :D depending on whether your husband is from a visa-exempt country or not - they will either request his passport or just send him his COPR. my husband is from a visa-exempt country and we didn't hear anything at all on ECAS or by email.. we got our COPR in the mail 2...

    Decision Made?

    yeah, don't worry about it then. that second page likely won't change. if you haven't been asked for further information or for an interview and your ECAS has changed to DM - congratulations! just sit tight and wait for your COPR :)

    Decision Made?

    are you the sponsor or the applicant? our sponsor profile changed to DM about a few days before anything was updated on the second page and we received an email. our applicant profile changed to DM on Dec 25 and nothing has changed on the second page even to this day, but we received COPR 15...

    question about taxes

    you're fortunate it was only $100. being that I was a single parent of 3 children and a low-middle income, I received the maximum rebate.. adding up two years of rebates, my (ahem) 'overpayment' is in the 4-digit amount. :o this is what I would have thought, too. I would never call them and...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    nothing to worry about yet - processing times for Sponsor Approval are at 62 days from AOR, and you're at less than 20 days. if you go beyond 62 days, maybe then you can start to worry ;) as for your wife's history of applying and then withdrawing an application for her ex - as long as you...

    question about taxes

    yeah, definitely not worth it. it just aggravates me that I will have to pay it back when it doesn't seem right, especially after how much this process has cost in the first place. I can't understand why I would be penalized for a time period when we weren't married and my then-boyfriend lived...

    Income requirement for Spousal Sponsor?

    I can say, from very recent personal experience (COPR received less than a month ago), that I do not meet the financial requirements listed in this table, and my application went through without a hitch. not even a mention of it in our case notes.

    Income requirement for Spousal Sponsor?

    i hate to be the bearer of bad news, and i might be wrong, but unless your husband's potential employer is willing to wait 7-8 months or more, your husband will likely need to look for another job once his papers come in. there should be a thread on the board for American outland applications -...

    question about taxes

    i'm having problems with my taxes right now. in 2013, my husband was living in Scotland and our finances were completely separate, so i filed my 2013 taxes as a single person. my husband came to Canada as a visitor in July 2014 at which point we got married, and so i filed my 2014 taxes as a...

    Text Messages & Other Miscellaneous Questions

    we had success without sending in chat logs or text messages. i screen-shotted our inboxes showing we'd exchanged emails over the years, but did not show what those emails actually said. you can do something similar with skype, screen-shotting the 'call from ___' / 'call ended, duration...
