The postal address showing on ECAS is my new Canadian address in Ontario. News though!! We've been approved!!! It's a good good day :-) I thought perhaps they would write to my husband in the UK asking him to submit his passport to the London Embassy to get it stamped, then returned to him. Or...

Hi there! Thanks very much Mulez, hopeful all is well. We did apply as outland from the UK and were living there together until July, but on completion of our house sale in the UK, I have come ahead to Canada with our kids. My husband has remained in the UK awaiting his COPR... Do you know if...

Hi Troops, We're October applicants (sponsoring my husband family class outland, applying from the UK but being processed by CPC Ottawa). Application was received by CIC October 16th 2014, got SA in Dec 2014. After months of no news, no contact and 'Application Received' under the PR status on...

Thanks for your feedback guys - sorry to hear you're still waiting though! Hopefully it will be good news all around for all of us in the not too distant future! Cheers, Lynda

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has an idea about this: I'm sponsoring my husband in the family class; applied October 2014, got SA Dec 2014 and awaiting COPR. My husband (british) has luckily been offered a job in Canada through a former colleague. We were hoping based on previous...

'u can live anywhere and drop and pick your kids.' Just thought I'd reply to the above comment - Schools in Calgary work according to catchment areas, so you have to live in a designated area around schools to register your children there. I'm also shortly moving to Calgary and have school aged...

Hi all, I am sponsoring my husband in the family class. We submitted in October 2014, received SA in december last year and are awaiting COPR. Our application is being processed by Ottawa CPC - the spreadsheet indicates that Ottawa CPC is now beginning to process applications from October 2014...

Hello, I am sponsoring my husband in the family class to come to Canada and we are anticipating a move to Ottawa, ON in July this year. Concerning the 3 months waiting time to be eligible for OHIP, does anyone know of private insurance companies that will cover pre-existing medical conditions...

Hi, As a Canadian citizen living abroad, I am currently applying to sponsor my husband in the family class for permanent residency. I have received SA (in December 2014) and we are awaiting confirmation of his visa from the Canadian Embassy in London. Our original intention was to move from...

Thank you. At this point, I would rather not delay the PR application by changing it and adding a CSQ. I notice that on the Assurance Maladie Quebec website that he would need to supply a CSQ to apply for a medicare card. I wonder if there are exceptions? Perhaps he could apply for a CSQ after...

Hello, I wonder is someone can advise. I have applied to sponsor my husband in the family class, SA received in December 2014. We are aiming to settle in Ottawa, Ontario, so have not gone through the Quebec specific immigration forms. We made this choice purposely, because my husband doesn't...

Hello, Wonder if anyone can answer my question? I'm applying for Canadian Citizenship certificates for my children (I'm Canadian by birth), they are both British Citizens, born and lived in the UK their whole lives. The application asks for their birth certificate and 2 pieces of ID. My children...

Happy to join this thread. Posted our application to sponsor my husband in the family class today! Good luck everyone. Will keep everyone posted. Lynda

Sponsoring my husband for permanent residence in the family class from Britain. Sent our application away today by courier, should be with CPC in Mississauga in 3 days :) :D :D!!! Now the waiting begins. Anyone else October submissions? Good luck everyone!

Thanks very much for that advice regarding the children. I'll certainly get their certificates on the go once this application is sent in. I suppose worst case scenario, I get the kids travel health insurance until their proof of citizenship comes through. Meant to ask as well - I'm submitting...

Hi, Since I am applying to sponsor my spouse from outside of Canada, the application and processing times are different. Unfortunately, I don't know about Inland applications, so wouldn't be able to advise you. Hopefully someone else on the forum can shed some light. Good luck, Lynda

The guide doesn't say anything about writing on the back, but I'm wary that they won't identify: which photos are of whom, and when/where they were taken. Surely they want to know the photos are recent? L

Hey Folks, I'm submitting an application to sponsor my husband in the family class, and submitting 8 'visa style' photos as requested on the CIC website for each member of our family. Does any know if we are supposed to write anything on the back of the photos (i.e. name, date of birth, date of...

Hi Bruce, Our Children are automatically Canadian citizens by virtue of my birth/citizenship (I've had this confirmed by speaking with people at CIC, the Canadian embassy in Edinburgh and Immigration lawyers advice). They will need 'proof' of this, but applying for this is a matter of course...

Thank you everyone, this is really helpful. I see your points about not planning too far in advance, unfortunately, most of the correspondence I have had with lenders, mortgage brokers etc have specified already a June 2015 move (our son is in school here, and we would not want to disrupt a...
