    Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

    Hi Emily, Did you get your COPR paperwork back yet? Ours processed through Sydney very quickly, just over a week turnaround time from when I mailed passport photocopies and pictures to when I received COPR back. Hoping yours was/is quick too!

    Yes I really should have read through all the details on the letter and clicked through to the list of visa-exempt nationals :) We were in the midst of moving and I was so excited we got our visa approved! I printed out the letter today, and kids and I got our photos taken, and I'm wondering do...

    Thank you! Yes, well I jumped the gun because I just received an email saying that our application has been processed and we've been approved for Permanent Residence!!!!!! Now my question to you all is this (and I have emailed the Sydney immigration office, but I assume you all may be faster :)...

    Just wondering how we know that documents or correspondence was received by CIC? On Feb 15 they emailed me to request a copy of my FBI certificate and I emailed back immediately. On Feb 16 they requested more information related to sponsor's (my husband) intent to settle in Canada, also replied...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Question for all of you smart people- I've seen comments re: sending your passports once you receive PR. Could someone please explain this process? Is this even if you're an outland applicant? For all types of visas or only certain kinds? I've applied for Family Sponsorship for myself and...

    **NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    Thanks, good luck to you too. I figure the fact that they're asking for stuff means it's being processed and not collecting dust on someone's desk :) This is what the email said: Receipt of information from client SPR's residency: Please provide additional proof that you intend to reside in...

    Thanks for that tip. I was only worried that if they see my tickets and the kids we'd have problems coming in if we don't have the permanent visa yet.

    For what it's worth, I received an email yesterday from CIC requesting an emailed copy of my FBI background check. When we submitted the application in November I hadn't yet received the FBI clearance, but have since received it and I emailed it per CIC request. Today I received an email from...

    Just added my details to the spreadsheet, hope I did it correctly ;) Out of curiosity, does the immigration office that my app was sent to after Sponsor Approval matter? It got sent to Ottawa. I am a dual U.S./Australian citizen, born in the U.S., currently living in Oz. I'm assuming that...

    Various Questions re: Family Sponsor Application for U.S. citizens in Australia

    Excellent, thank you. I was getting worried we wouldn't all be able to travel together. I've been advised that we can submit applications before getting our FBI check back so should have it done soon. Hopefully we're processed before we travel anyway. Amazing, sent away for FBI check and...
