London won't send you anything to confirm they have it. It's just a case of waiting now.

No - quite the opposite. It is fairly common for people with applications underway to be provided with 1 year visitor visas at the border if they are planning to wait out their decision in Canada with their partners. Just take proof of your application with you. You may be asked to prove you...

Hey there Nick or Karen (not sure which!) Re your photos, just send photos of yourself. Family members only applies if you are bringing kids over with you. So you don't need to send photos of your mum, dad etc!! Re finances, you cannot be refused for financial reasons in family class...

Hey there. Get your application sent! What makes you think you can't apply despite waiting on an extensions of your current visa?

When you are notified of sponsor approval (Stage 1), they send it to London right after that.

Welcome! Married or Common Law?

Yep, they still send them out :) It's nice to have a number beginning with a 5 instead of a 9!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Not a problem at all. Just advise the border officer of your correct current address so they send your PR card to the right place. We had a similar issue with an old address being listed because we moved just after they posted the COPR, and he just crossed it off and wrote the new one in. You...

Yes it most certainly is! Any further uncertainty on CIC's part would have involved a request for more proof or further info so time to celebrate! Last hurdle is for the the COPR to arrive in the post. If you post your full timeline, I can add you to the spreadsheet if you like? Congrats :)

Mine was less than 1 week! I had a DM on ECAS showing as Oct 2nd, and it was delivered in Canada at my GF's parents on Tuesday 8th. The post mark from London was Oct 1st so clearly they made the decision earlier than the 2nd but ECAS doesn't update in real time. The actual wait for the COPR to...

Awesome!! Yours took forever so your relief must be enormous. It's a stressful process this. And I fully agree - this Forum is a real source of encouragement. And thank you for the congratulations one and all!

DECISION MADE!!! YESSSS!!! I logged into ECAS yesterday and was still in process, today it has changed to DM. I must be up there as one of the longest apps of 2013? I actually shed a tear when I saw that line on ECAS - what a wimp lol. I think months of stress just caught up with me in one go...

Fantastic news - congratulations :)

Outland applications have been going through quicker than they have for quite some time since the strike started. Ironic really! Also that's really sad about the guy's Grandmother but it's totally fine to leave Canada when you apply inland. Only if they refuse you entry do you forfeit your...

No, just proof that you can afford to support him if asked, and that you or he has enough money to buy a return flight home if needed. Print a bank statement no older than a week prior to your entry date.

My understanding is that it means if they haven't got around to your application by then, the system flags your application for attention by a visa officer. They either start to work on it or assign a later bring forward date. It's supposed to ensure no application is missed.

Cool, thanks. And Godisfin - Congrats!!!

For those living in Canada, and if in Toronto even better, how long has the COPR taken to arrive after ECAS has changed to DM? I figure since I have until a few days into early Oct before my IEC expires, I probably need a DM by Mon 16th at the latest to have a chance of getting the COPR in my...

CONGRATULATIONS!! If you want somewhere central, city hall is good at Nathan Phillips square. You go with your signed and stamped entry document which the officer will do at the border when you 'land' and they will issue you with an active SIN on the spot. You can use it immediately, and a card...
