Hello Everyone...
I had been following the thread... but I guess I am posting here for the first time...
I sent my spouse sponsorship application through Canada post on Oct 27, 2013 and was delivered on Oct 29, 2013. Today on November 09, 2013 Saturday, I received an email confirming that they have received my file on Oct 29, 2013 and in the email they have also mentioned the UCI number and Application Number.
I am also considering to submit the TRV application, when is the best time I should submit the application and could anyone please advise me what documents to include and how to mention the UCI number and Application.
What other correspondence I may expect....
Also…

Application No.: F000xxxxxx
Quote these numbers when corresponding with our office.
