How I organized our applcation and a summary of all helpful tips I have learned

[pelipeli]

@ pelipeli,
i have some questions,
my wife already received her approval letter dated July 9, 2012, my questions are the ff:

how did u know CEM received the file transfer?

when ur spouse recvd his PPR, what other documents did they ask for? and what courier was used to send those?

thnx

Hi there, congrats on sponsorship approval!

We knew the date of CEM file transfer from the PPR letter, it will be indicated there "We received your blah blah blah on ________" =)
They asked for the Appendix A, passport and photos. That being said, we submitted the AOM with the application and paid the fees also with the application. If you haven't done this, this will be asked with the PPR. Hubby used LBC to send his PP to CEM =)

hope this helps! =)

1. principal applicant

Q#14 - if you had a "celebration" like a special dinner or something , its a yes. for us we said no coz we didn't have a formal proposal
Q# 24 & 25 - for us we explained that since we spent almost all of our rel'p in one city there was no need for "visits" , i think this is more for couples in long distance rel'p.

What did you write in the form if your answer is on other sheet of paper - hubby and i each wrote an essay detailing , in a more subjective matter, how our rel'p progressed , how we fell in love with each other, being married to each other, what we like doing together, etc etc etc....

sorry for late reply. been busy stampeding here in calgary =)

Thank you very much @ pelipeli (if a have a lot of question can i pm you)

regarding on my question "What did you write in the form if your answer is on other sheet of paper should i write "see attachment or any suggestion"

HI regarding for medical
Note: You will need to include proof (Copy 2 of the Medical Report: Section A, provided by the panel physician)(should i print this out)that you completed the medical examination.

Hi, use what she used for her sponsor forms, which should be the exact name she has on her passport. In my case I used my maiden name.

A li'l update:

I just got our GCMS notes today, July 25 2012. I sent the request on June 26, 2012.

Doesn't really contain much except that I confirmed that they received my hubby's passport the day after he sent it. Eligibility, security and criminality assessment not started.

What's exciting is the last four pages under NOTES where you can see the "flow" of the process so far, and I'm also glad to see initial screening has been done even if ecas still says "appliaction received".
Also, GCMS were generated on June 28, so nice to know that there is a possibility that this is not the most updated status of our application.

Here it is , just to share:

4/25/12 File number created

4/26/12 Welfare check req'd for sponsor. CSCD to be entered upon receipt of results

5/1/12 welfare check rec'd, no records. All other eligibility reqmts are met. Eligibility Decision emailed to sponsor

5/9/12 File received in Manila fropm CPC by Fedex on May 8 2012. AOR/ DOC Request sent. Medical review passed. File referred to PA review team for Initial Screening Review.

5/24/12 DOCS RCVD 18May2012. Ppt & ppt photo x PA (details checked)- Appendix A

6/13/12 Electronic Record Check Results: No FOSS Hit. No Previous Record in CAIPS that is not refelcted in FOSS. No prior GCMS record

6/13/12 INITIAL SCREENING: ........... SPONSOR: PR (xxxx/xx/xx) SW1-DEP. See Bxxxxxxxxxx - Previous sponsorships / relationships / children declared: none. APPLICANT: Identity documents acceptable, no previous marriages and common law partner declared, no dependents, Married on ___ at _____- NSO marriage certificate (original) registered on time, cohabitation xx/xx/xx to xx/xx/xx , relationship docs submitted, on file observations- docs appear sufficient to support relationship. Primary Applicant and SPR met on _____ at _______. SPR was working as ______, PA introduced himself and was able to get SPR's number. Started dating and have met each other's family. Almost same age and have same religious beliefs, marriage attended by both families. BACKGROUND: FOSS and GCMS checks done, no adverse info- Overseas travel - none. Previous records- none. Police certificate/s: NBI issued 19Dec2011- NO RECORD ON FILE. Appears Interview waiver may be warranted.
