I've been checking the forum just waiting for someone else's good news!

Sadly there hasnt been anything lately.

We started the week off really good so hopefully early next week will be the same.... It always boosts spirits when we see movement.

Don't get discouraged people, just remember that they have to be in contact with you ever way.

I hope everyone has a great weekend...where I live we are fighting through a crazy snow storm, I might be spending my weekend shoveling

I'll still be obsessively checking the forum (and email for my approval) so..ttys

Just out of curiosity, has anyone attempted/going to attempt using the sponsorship approval letter to get their spouse a temporary resident visa?

I have read many a second/third hand account of this working out, but can not find anyone who has done it themselves...

This sponsorship process truly is a nail biting experience...

...or I guess a link to a forum where this has already been discussed would be great too

Hi ashunandal,

I had a question for you if you don't mind. I think you mentioned once that you sent some additional documents to CIC after sending the initial package of forms, and CIC immediately returned the documents to you, implying that you couldn't add them to the application? Did I understand that correctly? Do you mind disclosing what the documents were?

I recently thought of sending proof of my husband's and my university degrees to prove similarity of educational attainment, but now I wonder if CIC will reject my attempt to add anything to our application at this point. Anything you can share would be helpful but please don't feel obligated.

Thanks!

Thats not true....


Imatra got their approval, Amanda did get her AOR...

Your statement is too good to be true...

No it is not necessary to send degrees except for your husband's identification maybe. Yes we send a copy of my mother's letter (sponsor's mother) and my husband's parents' letter (applicant's parents) and my passport copy with the pages with my visas (for travelling to meet the applicant and travelling with applicant). They did not open my envelope and just returned it with an additional letter form CIC. They said that I need to wait until CIC requests any documents to send anything. We send these documents a couple days after we sent our application and we dont have sponsor approval yet. If you have a UCI number or application number, you can try to send to CIC. You should wait until you receive sponsor approval and when your file is transferred to applicant's visa office. Then, you can send additional documents to the visa office for sure.
good luck!

Not big news but I'm able to log into ecas

Doesn't say much just that our application was received Jan 11. But I'm happy that the information I can read is spelled correct, lol

I'm super excited for next week...I know we will have lots of updates!

Small things make me happy...clearly! ;D
