Did you apply without a marriage document? What other proof did you wind up sending them?

Seconded - avoid going through the US. Just adds a layer of grief.

Just to clarify, I did not mean to suggest that anyone was giving Canadian-born individuals preferential treatment. Just that background checks etc might get done quicker leading to a quicker approval for sponsorship.

I wonder too if Canadian-born individuals get approved for sponsorship quicker. Maybe there's less to scrutinize because their right to sponsor is immediately apparent based on their birth certificate? Obviously I have no idea what happens in the CIC or how things work, it's just a thought I had.

Your SA letter should say exactly where to send it. It should have a mailing address, a web site where you can send messages as well as a fax number. In my case, it's the overseas visa office where the application was sent, I imagine it'd be the same for you. In other words, Mexico.

I think it's normal that you haven't heard anything yet. I'd also suggest you use the November 2014 forum, since that's technically when you applied. In other words, it's based on when they received it, not when you sent it. Good luck!

That's quite a typo! You really misspelled "Conratulations, I'm happy for you! Hopefully I'll get some good news soon."

Sadly, they specified which office abroad it would be going to - Sydney. That's where it should go, but I'm still hoping they'll decide to keep it at CPC-M.

Oh, and I'm now able to log in to view my status. I wasn't able to this morning, before I got the email. I was assuming that login access was changed once a week but now I'd say you get access when you get SA.

Great news! SA received! I'll update the spreadsheet when I can. Some stats for those obsessive types like me: -Rec'd via email, 1 business day after AOR email -60 days after Oct 30 delivery, 1 day ahead of the current estimate -File is now being sent to "a visa office abroad" That last bit...

AOR via email, 55 days! Yay! Best Christmas present ever! I will update the spreadsheet when I get a moment.

Wait times for SA finally updated. As of Dec 10: 58 days.

It's my understanding that you can't really send additional details or forms until they ask for them. Think about it, without the UCI, they have no way of linking another set of documents to an existing one. Best to wait, I say.
