Hello messenger. I am currently managing the July 2013 spreadsheet with a co-applicant. I can help maintain the August 2013 spreadsheet. :)

By the way, the informations of the 3 August applicants are temporarily added to our July spreadsheet.Whoever wants to maintain the August spreadsheet, they can view it there and transfer it here. :) :) :)

Let me be the latest to join the August club!

Application Sent: 2nd August 2013 by DHL

Application Received: August 6th 2013 ; Signed for by mailroom rachhpat

Visa Office: London

I'm being sponsored by my Canadian common law partner of over 8 years. We've lived together in Canada and in the UK together via working holidays visas, and are now hoping to settle down in British Columbia together permanently ASAP.

Excited to finally get it all sent off, but nervous and worried by the industrial action and what sort of delay this may cause.

You've been added temporarily to the July 2013 spreadsheet. Here's the link, just scroll down : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvI5l_hMO7UKdGZFUGU4VFJVcTU5OWJDQWhaYnU2NGc#gid=0

Someone will maintain the spreadsheet for this month and will transfer the infos from July 2013 to the August 2013 spreadsheet!

Good luck on your application!!

:)

Hello there,
I have couple of doubts regd organizing my spousal VISA docs. I am planning to apply soon.

1. Are you guys arranging the application as per checklist order or separating according to Sponsor and Sponsored person's doc.

2. It says we have to provide 6 photos as per immigrations requirement, are you guys putting a date at the back of the photos or just the stamp from the photo lab.

Thanks for your help

Thanks mrsalvaro :)

For the spreadsheet my medical was done in April (as originally was going to submit it a couple of months sooner than now but had a few delays), so it's going to be tight getting everything processed before it expires. :( Fingers crossed.

Hi Aleli and Anne.
This is very nice of you to help your forum mates. For the Spreadsheet we all have to thank Sweden who initiated it. I've been managing the Feb 2013 and I just had to copy a blank one and assign it to you nice ladies!

All the best

Hello! An August applicant here :)

Stats:

USERNAME : PhBee
Visa Office : Ottawa (most likely)
Medicals Done : May 10th 2013
Application Sent Date: August 2nd 2013
CPC-M received as per tracking : August 6th 2013 (Signed for by: R. Mahmood)
Stage 1 AOR :
Sponsorship Approval :
AOR from Visa Office

I'll update the other stats as they happen :) Thank you for your time and effort maintaining the spreadsheet! It's nice to not feel so alone in all of this :)

[Random question - has anyone else had their pkg signed for, even though they sent it to the P.O Box and not the courier address?. We sent it via USPS Express International from the US, so, it's possible that Canada Post then took it to the courier drop-off instead of the P.O Box?].

Let's check on this friends...

MANILA, Philippines—The Canadian Embassy in Manila on Thursday assured the public that its visa services continue despite earlier reported disruptions due to a widespread strike of its foreign service workers.
In a statement posted on its website late Thursday afternoon, the Canadian government confirmed reports that personnel handling visa applications were among those participating in a global strike of Canada’s Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (Pafso) union.
“Contingency plans are already in place to ensure all offices remain open and are providing at least a minimum level of service,” the alert read.
The embassy said processing times of applications for temporary and resident visas “do not take into account work stoppages.”
“Priority will be placed on urgent humanitarian applications. We continue to monitor the situation,” the embassy said.
Visa applicants in Manila reported service delays and disruptions earlier this month after personnel at Canada’s visa center took part in Pafso’s worldwide strike.
The union last week initiated work stoppages in at least 15 of the biggest Canadian outposts around the world, including Manila, amid a pay dispute with the government.
The strike started just weeks after Canada opened new visa application centers in Manila and Cebu City in a bid to make its services more accessible to Filipinos.
Previously, Canadian visa applications were centralized at the embassy.—Tarra Quismundo

Thank you Tom. Aleli and I, we've been helping each other since summer when we started packaging our application. We just realized that it's now our turn to pay it forward. Helping our forum members is always a pleasure for us. Yeah, a big thanks to Sweden for the spreadsheet. She is the sweeetest. :)

Best of luck to our applications! Take care always!!! :)
