Sorry to bump this so soon. No one has any input on this? In the letter we received, it states, "All of the forms, certificates, and photocopies of documents that you have already submitted are contained on a file created under your name transferred to Los Angeles. We now request additional...

Hello everyone, Under a month ago my spouse and I received a letter requesting that we go to LA to attend an interview for his sponsorship. I'm his common-law spouse, a dual-citizen between the USA (where we currently reside) and Canada, and he is a citizen of the USA. We're putting together...

Thank you immensely for your response, it's very reassuring to hear from such a similar situation. Ours is actually in LA, as well! We'll be a day apart. I'll try not to worry in regards to the police clearance and simply work on getting any photos printed that were taken between our...

This thread has been immensely helpful in alleviating some of the anxiousness my partner and I (I am the sponsor, he is the one applying) had upon receiving our interview request letter only a few days ago, now. We have our interview in less than a month (and overseas) and are scrambling to get...

After a year of nerve-wracking waiting and watching everyone else update, we have just been given our own, though it was not the best news we could have received... I checked my mailbox yesterday, and we had a letter from the Consulate in Los Angeles (which is odd, considering our application...

Thank you very much for your incredibly-detailed response, source included! Hopefully I still have a month left, and they reply within it, then...

As you can see, I'm wondering the same thing. If it turns out we only have 2 months... then that would mean mine expires in a couple days (as April 11th is two months from our exam), wouldn't it? >_< Is there anything I can/should do to expedite a response from the CIC, at least to know that...

Congratulations to all those who have been updated to in-process or who are even further along than that! This turnover rate is so huge and abrupt... but wonderful, at the same time! I know I'm in the same boat as plenty of others, but I'm slightly worried for our application, as our medicals...

That's very reassuring to hear. I never thought about the simple fact that the definition of common-law would still exist... I was more worried that the civil union would somehow override it since the CIC is very serious about hearing any updates at all. I'm still worried that it would be...

Hello everyone, I have an urgent (literally life or death - though not mine), possibly very-hard-to-answer question that needs answering. Some background: My partner and I are currently awaiting response from the Ottawa visa office on our application. We applied for me to sponsor him as a...

Oh, I didn't realize that "Medical Results Received" was considered another step on the timeline chart... I don't remember the exact date that was updated for us on ECAS, but I know it was at least two weeks ago, if that helps.

Re: Bit worried Shan30, ism45, the email address I used was OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca, but only because Ottawa is the office that we initially sent our application to. I poked around on the CIC website to find how to email them, and the page I found was...

Well, after trying to find more information on how to call their offices from out of Canada, I finally conceded and sent them an email instead as soon as we hit the 30-day-wait mark. I was surprised, but excited to see that they replied in under 24 hours! It was almost frightening to open the...

From what I've heard here so far, yes, that means they shouldn't be missing anything and won't be sending it back! That's why it's one of the most stress-relieving moments, haha. Could I ask again what phone numbers everyone has been calling? I actually found a toll-free number for those...

Hmm, I know that this is the usual trend for all of us waiting, but... I'm getting a bit worried, myself, now. It's been about 22 days since tracking let us know they received our package, and I see the average response time on the chart is 15-20. Still no AOR. I'm kind of hoping they're either...

Thank you, MrsAlvaro! I forgot to mention, my partner and I are applying from the USA. I'll be sure to report back with any news!

Nice to meet you, everyone! My common-law spouse and I have, after months and months of planning and paperwork, finally submitted our application, too! We're excited to be a part of the July group. 8] Date of Application: July 18th, 2013 Date the Application was received: July 23rd, 2013...

What? Really? The thread I had been referencing had a poster that was able to contact a call center supervisor, and was told that the definition of "enter date" is the date you started it, ie, started living together. I'm glad you showed me this, though! Not sure how I missed it... Feel a little...

My common-law partner and I are a little unsure on what date we should submit on form IMM 1344 (Application to Sponsor). I've done my poking around and found out through the amazing help of this forum that it's the date you've STARTED your Common-Law relationship (whether that be when you moved...

Thank you so much for your help, Canuck! We'll be writing up that letter today. It's wonderful to hear that's an option, especially since it would be a fast one. 8]
