Hey Vancouverain,

That is awesome! Very happy for you. It was so quick. Some people have waited a lot longer for their visa to be issued from POS. Wonder if the fact that you (or your lawyer) were corresponding with them re. DHL courier made a difference....

How long did it take exactly between the time they got your passport to the time they issued the Visa?

Hi Solkaman

Thank you for the well wishes

Everything positive on our case has to do
With God trust me just pray.

We got passport request on the 15th of May
We mailed our passport off on the 16th of May
It reached POS on the 20th of May. And on the
28th received email that visa will be ready
Within a day or so make arrangement with DHL
To send us the return envelope for DHL does not
Provide a return envelope you have to arrange for
Them to call Trinidad DHL to pic it up
Strange method very frustrating

BTW, we got news about PPR two days ago and our on-line status has not been updated yet. Just informing you guys. I guess some VISA officers are slow at updating the system or maybe don't update it all......

I will keep checking.

Solkaman

That's normal ours got updated the next day.
We have not seen DM decision made yet even though
We we're told the visa is ready so they update
The ecas how they choose

Oh alright !! Enjoy your trip, have fun !! ;)
And BTW : Provide the return enveloppe with the passport, not only the passport, dont wait for them to ask you the return enveloppe, it must to be provided.
Solkaman


Yes make arrangement with FedEx not DHL make sure
You have the return envelope I went with DHL
Now it's so nerve racking not knowing what
Is happening

do not sign now as you may be asked to sign in front of a representative of the Canadian government.

Anyone want to further explain?
Its just that specific section below where it says not to sign now.... dont sign it right now. If they feel the need to have you sign it at a later date, you will sign it in front of an official.... just leave that bottom part blank for now

Hi and welcome, please give us your timeline, that is when you applied for sponsorship, when you got approved, when meds been requested....you can also look at the spreadsheet (link in my signature) so you will have an idea of the processing times of everyone on that forum. I will add you too. Likkle more

You got PPR done before SA? Why would they have his passport before you got approved for sponsorship application? Does this normally happen?

Good afternoon everyone,
thought I'd give some updates....

I am still waiting from CIC to be approved as a Sponsor. I did finally receive an email from CIC stating they've received my application (Thank goodness - So happy it wasn't lost) and they started processing it and that they've also received medicals.

CdnandTrini explained to me how this whole processing thing goes, I am so grateful for the insightful information.

But I am looking forward to something great!
My husband is coming to visit me here in a week, he leaves out on his birthday!!!!!! I am beyond excited, cant wait to see his handsome face and give him a big kiss! :-* I'd be really happy if I got SA when he's down here .. wishful thinking ...

I hope everyone is reunited with their loved ones soon!


I'll keep everyone updated once I get SA!
God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend. 8)

The day you received the first PPR in November you were approved. They wont request passport if you declined. So it is normal they says you approved...but it is not from today it is from November.
