    Letters from Friends and Family: Content?

    For ours they summarized how they know us and how long, as well as what social or family things we all do together. Also what they know of our future plans together when we return to Canada. Some of ours were notarized and some were not. I think we had about 6 notarized letters and 4 that weren't.

    Thank you Survivor27. My partner checked his email and had the passport request email on the same day. I also never get AOR2 from the Ottawa VO.

    Congrats everyone who got DM!! It prompted me to check mine, and MYCIC still says "processing background check" but my ECAS has changed to DECISION MADE!! :)

    I've seen other people post that Ottawa VO is very fast, but mainly for American applicants. I have a feeling they did the first part very fast for me and now it will just be left to sit for ages. I wouldn't be too worried about the time it's taking. It's pretty normal and it hasn't even been...

    Mine switched to "background check in progress" around February 22 give or take a day. So it's been just over a month now I've been waiting. Hopefully not much longer and hopefully it is quick for you too!

    I really feel for you! I know how frustrating it can be, especially when you have other people's time lines to compare to! When I was going through the Australian process, one of my good friend's also was and I kept comparing my timeline to hers and it stressed me out. Would the delay/confusion...

    Ah like an auto queued kind of thing! Can anyone tell me what the rest of the process is after background check is completed? Cheers :)

    I just logged in to myCIC and saw that Background Check is now In Progress. YAY! It hasn't changed in ECAS yet though. It's funny how this works because I signed in to check this morning which would've been around 5:00pm Ottawa time and it said Not Started. I log in now just after midnight...

    Hey there, For ours all we could provide was a letter from both my partner and I outlining our plan (in as much detail as we could) for when we get back to Canada. We also had my mom write a stat dec letter explaining we would be staying with her for a couple weeks after landing while we looked...

    Hey there, Just wanted to say I signed on to ECAS today and noticed it says "Decision Made" under Sponsorship App Status. It also now says "Medical results have been received" in the PA section. I haven't received an email regarding anything since I got an email on the 10th for my AOR1. Cheers :)

    Visa Options while waiting for PR

    Hey, I'm Canadian sponsoring my boyfriend, we have already submitted our application via outland. We are both currently living in Australia. I was wondering what his options were if we decided to return to Canada before he is *fingers crossed* approved. I know he would be able to come over...

    I received the AOR1 email for our application today. It took 13 days from when it was delivered so not bad! I have updated the spreadsheet :)

    The cost of spousal sponsorship?

    We applied outside of Canada (both in Australia) and roughly we would've spent about $1600-$1700. It was $1040 for the Visa fee and his full medical was just under $600. We then just had small fees for courier, passprot photos and police/traffic record checks. :)

    Thank you for this information! We haven't received AOR1 yet so as far as I know we have no ID numbers or anything to log into ECAS or myCIC to check/do anything yet. Will wait a little longer and see.

    Hello, I was reading some of your posts about linking your application online. Can someone clarify for me what this means? Is it something we need to do once we submit the app? We submitted our application package by mail and didn't do anything online other than the forms which required...

    Hello, I thought it would be a good idea to join this thread. We submitted our applitcation for my boyfriend on December 21st to CPC-M. It shows as delivered on December 29th. We haven't had an AOR1 yet so hopefully soon. It was probably bad timing to send the package around Christmas rush...
