Hi everyone!
I have applied to sponsor my Mom on November 26, 2010. Few days ago i have recieved the request for additional docs with steps 4-7 missing. However, they e-mailed me the complete checklist a day after.
So here is my timeline:
Visa Office......: CPP Mississauga
App. Filed.......: NOV-2010

Here is the copy paste of complete checklist from e-mail: (I had to delete the links and sorry if the format will be a little messed up)
