February 2013 OUTLAND (only) applications!! Here is your thread!!

[S.J.K]

If it has passed the time you have submitted your application and oyu have not received your SA you can then call CIC to inquire about your application.

Thanks skas13 & inhinyeronina for the useful suggestion. My husband will call them first thing monday morning. I hope its not bad news.

Welcome back my dear S.J.K
Yeah it was a slow night when someone suggested that we exchanged stories of how we met our other half's. It was a splendid evening as we read some pretty nice and poetic stories. If you haven't read them all take the time and do.
The FB group was also another very good idea because it seems that most of us will be around for a while so that will keep us a little closer!

Regards

Congratulations Roam & Dina87!

Hi everyone...

1. As you know, as per:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3999Etoc.asp

to certify a document, an authorised person must print the following:

"“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document.............." etc etc.........

Did your notary print that sentence at the front of your documents, or at the back? It's just that, the front part of a document usually doesn't have that much white space left, so I thought it would be nice to do it at the back, where usually there's 100% white space...very convenient for the notary public to type.

When we did ours in January, our notary gave 2 versions.....front and back...the front version was difficult for her to do, for obvious reasons...

So, just curious how yours are



2. Also, I need your second opinions....if you read our regional guide:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3906e.pdf

Point 7 says "Provide birth certificates, baptismal certificates or other official document confirming relationship (including all pages of Household Registries, if applicable) for you and each of your family members. If you are married, you must include a marriage certificate"

Since we are doing a spousal sponsorship, I don't see how my wife's birth certificate and baptismal certificates are relevant? They only confirm her relationship to her PARENTS, not to ME

So, from the sound of it, it looks like our marriage certificate alone should suffice...?!

Note: I am sponsoring only my wife, and we have no children.

(arghh it's crazy! even though we already did all these, I seem to second guess everything, after suffering from my lost-documents ordeal! )

Hey all!
Its been a while since I came in here and its been raining AOR's and SA's! Congratulations you all!
Mine still says, Application received and medical recd.
I have been on the edge waiting for my husband's SA. I have an extremely long wait-it says 23 months from Abu Dhabi VO- so that sucks! I know thats worst case scenarios, but it still scares me!
Also, it says on the website that they are now working on applications submitted on 18th Feb 2013. Since ours was submitted earlier, I am starting to really worry about the SA! Can't wait to be in blue on the spreadsheet as well...
On a side note, I love the initiative with the FB group, I have just joined that as well
Its so nice to see everyone sharing their stories in here! My husband and I have been dating for almost 5 years & we got married little over a year ago. The whole waiting away from my husband is so frustrating

Hey would you please share the FB page details here for the group you mentioned?
It will be helpful for some who would like to join there

And I am also happy to hear that you will be having a boy!!!! Amazing news!

But I hope that Aspa feels better soon. Wish you all the luck!!

Hey mickeyindia,
Search for CIC family class sponsorship on FB. Strangely, I can't post links :S

Hey guys,

I wanted to mention a couple of things I have found out about these past few days...

I have spoken to my husband and a few other people about this last minute change of VOs.

Apparently many people who have been in the same situation as us have been eligible to sponsor their spouse from Egypt so now I am wondering if ours might have been a mistake... And the fact that they were all Somali holding the Somali passport didn't affect where their VO was.

I have called CIC on Friday morning to inquire about this, and they told me that it could have been a mistake because It clearly states that he is living in Egypt and has been for at least the past decade. They told me to write to the CIC-Mississauga and clarify with them about this change in VO.

I haven't really thought much about it until it was brought to my attention from my husband that he has seen cases like this where they have been living in the country for a lot less than he has, but they still used Cairo as a VO.

I know that It'll take a while for this issue to be resolved ............this will take a whole lot longer than expected. Anyone have any other suggestions??

Dear Kuudir2 thank you so much! Yes I got it on Friday and that took a load of stress of my mind.
A boy yes but I will still wait another couple of weeks until we have another U/S. A healthy baby is the biggest subject here. We are just ecstatic for that and we thank God for this!
We are in Greece since Friday and this afternoon we went to a Hospital ER and the female doctor there prescribed some suppositories to cut down the vomiting and she encouraged us by saying she too had suffered from multiple vomits daily.

Thank you and God bless
