Our final paperwork/approval arrived yesterday! :) Can't see my info in the spreadsheet but please update it when you get a chance. Thanks!

Passport-style pictures. And that's excellent! Here's hoping it doesn't take too long after the pictures are sent. Thanks for the help!

Hi Andrew, Yes, we received the e-mail saying the application was in its final stages, and for passport scans and photos of her. I was wondering how long this takes, and whether or not they need my Canadian passport scans and pictures also? I am not the applicant, but my wife is. She is a...

Brilliant, thanks! I assume that the only passport copies and photos they need are hers, not mine (even though they say 'spouse' on the paper somewhere).

Oh, I see -- does the 'final stage' typically take long? (I've reposted the question in the London thread also, but really appreciate the help!) :)

Hello -- I posted this question in October Outland applications, but was told to re-post here: We just got the notice that the application is in its final stage! Not sure how long this takes? They've asked for some pictures and photocopies of passport-- I thought the final stage was them...

Thank you! I'm just curious-- why wouldn't they ask for original passport?

The application actually never went to London; it stayed in Mississauga the entire time.

Just got the notice that the application is in its final stage! Not sure how long this takes? They've asked for some pictures and photocopies of passport-- I thought the final stage was them requesting the actual passport of the applicant? Can anyone help with this? For context, I'm a Canadian...

I'm not sure what SA stands for (is there an abbreviations list somewhere that I've missed? I tried searching). Either way, if they're not sending AORs I'm going to be even more worried/neurotic about it now-- I'll be wondering if they even have it, even though I checked the address about 5000...

I sent an application to sponsor my spouse a week ago, and just checked Royal Mail to see it was delivered! I take it the waiting game now begins! No idea how long we'll have to wait for AOR, seems anywhere between a couple of weeks to a couple of months? Nervous but excited!

What does VO mean? Will I get an e-mail address to send that information to at this point? And thanks very much for the clarification -- it's really helpful!

All of these seem to be to change the principal applicant's address, though, not the sponsor themselves. cic.gc.ca/english/information/change-address.asp - This page says "change your address," not specifically the sponsor's. Also, would I do it after I move to Canada or beforehand? Thanks!

Hello, Me and my British wife have recently applied for me to sponsor her in the family class. I sent the application a week ago. We live in the UK now, but I've just got a very welcome (but unexpected) job offer in Canada. I'll be moving within 6 weeks, and I know that CIC need to be notified...
