you need to contact them about change of address here is a case specific email for cairo https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=cairo

They usually correspond by email and mail so update your address and put on the paper your file no.,name,address and a little note stating your address has changed.Most of our cases have been sent to ottawa I suspect yours will as well. From the time I recieved my letter of approval for sponserhip until his letter from ottawa it took 6 months.so be patient time line is a year. :)

If you can check you status online you should be able to see change of address underlined by your name and address which will take you to the address of the link I already gave you but you can double check.

louisa sorry but when i try to see my file online on the cic website they tell me this
We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons
so do i have to wait till i find any result then i change my address or i change it now ?

Hi Emadiao, I had the same result from the website until I got a new letter from Ottawa stating a new ID number.

The number on the sponsorship approval letter won't work.

You do indeed have a long wait.

Emadiano; I think you should contact them with the address change. It never hurts to give them more information than they ask for. It sure saves finding out that you should have sent it and it was required.

Just to be sure you are applying to sponser a spouse? and if yes whoever the sponser is that was approved that file number with their information should work on the site but if not use the cairo link I gave you to email them with all your information and file no. and a note stating you have an address change.Have lots of patience and welcome we complain on here too when we get to frustrated lol

Welcome emadiano

Can you please share details on your timeline, such as date application reached Cairo and dates of any other correspondence you may have received from them. I am keeping a spreadsheet with all of our timelines.

Thanks.

emadiano, the letter or email you received from CIC Mississauga should have a file number that relates to you, the sponsor. Put all the information in the fields and it should bring up a screen that shoes your name and address with a link underneath to update. Update there.

Also please post your timelines so I can add you to our excel document.

Does my husband have to add my name on the "Additional Family Information" form? I notice under the names it's asking him to certify that he does not have a spouse or ex spouse. If he is married to me the Canadian citizen, does he sign that and leave the spouse box blank?

Thanks
