This, BUT REMEMBER: HAVING A CHILD DOES NOT PROVE A RELATIONSHIP IS GENUINE OR LEAD TO FASTER PROCESSING. All it proves is that you had sex at least once - and one night does not a marriage make. It sounds from your post like you are actually considering this crazy idea so I thought it was worth...

Am I understanding correctly that you looked at the sponsorship requirements, and decided to wait to get married until after you mailed your application thinking you'd found a loophole? I can't imagine you didn't consider this BEFORE getting married..

Life_Life - You need to mail them the original police check I believe. I'd send it ASAP via courier if you can.

So.. my husband let me know just now that he got an email from CIC today, lol! It was a second AOR - strange considering they already sent approval in principle and a medical request for him. Of course they received his appliction, haha. Very, very weird. When did second AOR become a thing? I...

Just the one row - We received your application on September 11, 2015. It hasn't been updated at all to reflect the AIP email we got or the medical request. The weird thing is that we got SA and AIP on the same day, and my sponsor side of things was updated immediately.

Hey everyone - I think my last question got lost in the buzz about CIC's questionable processing practices. Just wondering - is it normal for there to be a delay in updating our application's status online? When I check it with my UCI, I can see the status of both my sponsorship application...

You CAN, but it's not recommended. It's best to wait until your application has been approved so there is no question as to whether you'll be allowed back into Canada. It's risky to leave because if you're out of Canada for too long, or are refused entry at the border, your inland application...

Hey guys - my husband received AIP and a medical request on May 16, and we redid the medical on the 25th, but nothing has changed in ecas yet. It just says "application received Sept 11", is that normal?? The sponsor side of things was updated immediately (we got AIP and SA on the same day) so...

The "new entry and update" tab is open for editing :) Just add your information there and someone else will transfer it over to the main spreadsheet soon.

Beans on toast - It's possible that some of the information on the spreadsheet is not accurate, people could lie and it's the internet after all so I can only speak for myself, but... Our application is definitely a "normal" one. My husband is not a live-in caregiver at all. On top of that, we...

You don't have to change your name - actually I would advise against it until after the PR goes through! It's a pain in the butt to change your name on all legal documents and takes quite a while. I kept my maiden name and nobody has batted an eye.

New medicals were requested May 16, we did them on May 25 and sent a case specific inquiry with copies of our receipts a few days later. We haven't heard back about any of it and it's got us a little nervous. The doctor's office said they would forward our results automatically but we haven't...

Where are you located? He doesn't need to be homeless to access mental health services. If you provide a few more details I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. Is he still going to school? Regardless, his school's guidance counselor should be able to help a lot - it's their job to...

Was that after they already processed the rest of your application?

It looks like that part of the website is broken at the moment. It's not working for me, either. Where are you located? I can give you the number for the doctor we used in Calgary last week, if that works for you! Dr. Johann Van der Merwe at My Calgary Doctor 6707 Elbow Dr SW (403) 259-3300...

We paid for our work permit twice just to be safe due to an issue with our paperwork. We sent the wrong form initially. Anyway, they didn't process the first application at all. Can we request a refund for it? How do we do that?

No, you can't send it on a USB stick - it has to be on paper. I think they are afraid of people sending viruses that could compromise their system. We had thousands of pages of skype records as well. We basically went through and selected a few conversations from each month as evidence and...

I'm impressed! My conversations so far with the call center have been way less productive. It is so frustrating to see applicants who applied later getting a decision made already while others wait for sponsorship approval. I am part of the group that got bumped ahead for whatever reason, but...

So, my husband has an annoying spelling error in his legal name. It's been there forever - a dash between his first and middle names instead of a space. Someone at the registry office in Austria messed up and his parents never bothered to fix it when he was a kid. Think John-Jacob Smith...

Wow, that is so fast! You must have had a very straightforward case. Congratulations!
