***DECEMBER 2018 OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP***

[ryester]

Document checklist IMM 5533 has been updated again (March 2019).

As we've discussed before, they made a mistake in February 2019 updating a checklist when they changed an address from Sydney to Mississauga for outland spousal sponsorship. Now they changed it back:

See the highlighted section above.

But now it does not match the guide in the opposite direction If February's checklist suggested to send all applications to Mississauga (whereas the complete guide says outland applications must be sent to Sydney), now the March checklist suggests to send all the applications that are sent by courier to Sydney, whereas the complete guide is still saying to send them to Mississauga (see the image below):

Are they drunk? "Let's change it to Mississauga. Now let's change it to Sydney". Do they really think we don't have enough confusion with this process to they add even more? Gary should definitely stop drinking.

@JoshC , did you hear anything from them on your request?

Mississauga is for Inland. The red rectangle inside the form is only applicable for applications sent to Sydney by courier.

Yes, the red rectangle inside the form is only applicable for applications sent by courier for all applications (including inland), and it says Sydney. Whereas the guide says inland by courier must be sent to Mississauga.

They made a mistake previous time, now they fixed it and created another one.

But that is not what the document you quoted says, it clearly shows two different addresses for two different situations.

The checklist or a guide? The checklist shows only one direction for applications submitted by courier.

Hey guys!
Does “Application in process” on ECAS comes after MP?

Hi! What do you mean by "application in process"? Is it a section on main page in Principal Applicant sections, before to go into details(1., 2., 3...)?
And what is MP? Medicals passed?

Since things have slowed down a bit in terms of updates, probably it is a good time to introspect on our addiction to the December thread, ecas and GCKey.

I will go first:

How many times in a day do you read all the updates posted on the December thread?

12 to 20 times a day


How many times in a day do you check ecas and GCKey?

6 to 8 times


I have a feeling I am not alone when it comes to severe anxiety about the application status and this is the only place which calms me down.

Not sure if Our data expert josh will come up a spreadsheet for this :0

Haha, I’m right there with you. I haven’t gotten SA yet and I’m frantically checking ECAS and GCKey at a minimum, 5 times a day - even at odd hours of the night as if it’s going to make a difference lol.

 

[svilli]

Yes!

In this case my answer is NO
"In process" starts when they start work in PA's eligibility.
MP is MP.
I have " in process" even without MR

You can submit them the same receipt and the confirmation.
Or, you can call to IRCC to clarify the situation.

Good. Thank you

I've had no reply as of yet. However, when I download IMM5533 mine still states Mississauga for everything, I've just downloaded it about three minutes ago directly from their site and it also shows the latest update as Feb 2019.

Where did you find the one you've screenshotted?

The checklist for common law (imm5589) is set out much better, there's a clear line between the different types of application with each showing the courier address:
