So, I've finally landed to Toronto on April 03rd :) Here's sharing my experience.. I've landed to Toronto Pearson Intl Airport (YYZ) in terminal - 3. Please fill up the 'declaration form' from before (you can collect it from the plane) and it'll be easier later. There's 2 queues in...

Thank you thank you thank you soo much wowsers, apt2208, Becki567, aj~, and B1007! Also many many thanks to all the kind users who helped (can't remember everyone off the top of my head), but thanks to Sweden, zardoz, and canuck_in_uk (and so many more of course!) We have to say, it feels great...

No no, don't beat yourself too much over doing the medical early! My husband had sort of done the same thing, but it's really for lack of knowing. If all goes well for your application, expect for your medical to be extended at least a few weeks. We were also in the same tight situation (In...

I have some very good news to share with everyone! :) After much ado, my husband received his passport request on the 10th of March, by email. He was asked for his entire physical passport, 2 recent photos, and an updated information chart. He submitted his documents in person at the London...

Congratulations! That's a beautiful way of finding out the great news! Good luck with the rest and happy reunion :)

Trust me, we've asked ourselves the same question and really got a case of the green-eyed monster when we saw all the files ahead of us going through. Well, it seems like some of it comes down to bad luck as well :p but we were lucky insofar as we were not requested for additional documents and...

I know exactly what you mean by the distance. My husband and I have been apart now for just over 6 months, and it really sucks. B1007, I insist you contact your MP's office ASAP. I've been in contact with my MP's office when our application was even at 5 or 6 months, and they were more than...

I'm so sorry for the late response! It's from London UK. It has been in process for almost a month now, but no correspondence yet. I'm so sorry to hear about the request for more photos. We are in the same boat, with the medical expiring in mid-March :( I hope the request for more photos means...

Hang in there! We're at 258 days today, so we understand as well. I agree, it seems that February is quite slow! In our case, we are worried more about the medical expiring in March, and haven't gotten a response yet from CIC pertaining to the issue. CIC has definitely slowed down in recent weeks :(

Hi everyone! My husband'a application has gone "In Process" last week. My husband is not British, but he has lived in the UK for the last 2+ years, so we applied through the London office with no issues. We're now in the 8th month of processing. I was just wondering if anybody has any...

Does the London VO currently accept drop box submissions after PPR at the 38 Grosvenor St. location? Many thanks!

Hi all! This may be a very stupid question, but the research I've done doesn't clarify it much for me either. My husband has not received his PPR as of yet, but I was wondering (just for the sake of knowing), just how the PPR works for the London VO? What are the instructions on the PPR? Is it...

Finally have an update! It shows on ECAS that our file went "in process" on January 23. We saw this update on January 27! :D It's really ridiculous that it's been 7.5 months and only now we could get an update. Still does not show medicals received though! Nonetheless, I am so grateful that at...

I guess I can't help you there, as I don't know much about the Pakistan situation. I'm a Canadian by birth, and my husband has lived in the UK for more than 2 years (and has a visa to remain for late 2014), so we opted to apply through the London VO. Good luck though! Did your husband live in...

PS: our file has been sitting as 'Application Received' for 7.5 months, with no information about a medical, or even a letter of correspondence. I was concerned about whether CIC lost our file at that point. I wouldn't say it was significantly under posted processing times, as it seems that the...

Thank you. I just went into my MP's office and asked. They never said no..? I also did volunteer for my MP some odd years ago, but I doubt that's why they helped me. Of course, it was mentioned to me that the processing time for London VO is 10 months, but I just asked for information on my...

Thank you sooo much, mahrukhshoaib! That means a lot! I specifically send all my wishes to the non-visa exempt files, who have a much more painful wait because of background checks. My husband's country of birth (where we also waited for background checks) has undergone a lot of electoral...

After more than 7 months of seeing "Application Received" on ECAS, my husband and I finally discovered it to be "In Process" yesterday!!! ;D It officially shows it to be "In Process" since January 23, 2014. Our file has been with CIC since June 4, 2013, and has been at the London VO since July...

It's great to see that everyone is getting the positive decision one by one which gives us hope. It's 219+ days, we've sent our application but there's no news and ECAS shows the same status 'Application Received'. Hate to say that this is such a long awaiting, frustrating time. Congrats to all...
