Our file went very well. Just got called for passport request. 3 months and a few days after reception of SA approval letter. This is if you don't get an interview request.
If you are from Quebec it is alot faster to receive the visa as you are on a different Immigration system than the rest of Canada. If you are not from Quebec than this is very quick. ;)

hi

My husband has a 25 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend and has just had a baby girl April 9th and he has put her down as single on the form for dependants. Is this the correct way to fill in this form ? I think it should be common law and because she is 25 does she fill in the form ?. Which is correct ?

It would be great if everyone could put their timelines under their handle so everyone could compare with their own. :) Is there a spread sheet maybe that would also be good to go against as well. :)

Hi

Does anyone know the cost of a police record check in Cuba these days? My husbands is over 3 months old. I am hearing $65 and it will take 3 months. Can anyone confirm that please ?

Does anyone know if when the embassy calls and says to be in Havana the following week with passport and new visa pics does it mean he is leaving with a visa? They said nothing of an interview. :)
