MARCH 2014 OUTLAND APPLICANTS

[Koifish76]

Yes, I believe they would tell you if the tests found anything. For Gerald it was only that the technician wrote that there was a mass in the one lung and immediately referred us to a specialist. He said he would not be able to send our medical report until a diagnosis was reached and he had all of the corresponding paperwork. If your doctor did not say anything to you, it's fair to assumme that nothing was found and everything was normal.

I was wondering about your situation as well. I know from studying dental, we learned that TB is prevalent all over the world, highly contagious. Certain countries are having a epidemic...and most persons who have it don't even know. I was told I had TB when a dark mass was found on my lung. I was freaking out, cause it's mandatory that persons studying my program have a skin test and be TB free. Turns out, it was a false alarm and the technician who told me I had TB just assumed that the dark spot on my lung from the xray was in fact tb. Just goes to show that most doctors and probably the cic always needs as much documentation as possible so that there are no mis-diagnosis's.

Btw the dark spot, i learned from my mom, was probably from when i was a child and had whooping cough, and left some scarring.

I hope your application goes smoothly and I think you have put forth a good case even though there are some redflags.

Wow you guys are getting really lucky. I thought if you were missing a document they would return the application to you. I hope I am just as lucky. I know I have sent all of the documents but I was only made aware a few days ago that they "update" many of the forms and I checked and it looks like 5 of my forms were outdated. I am already preparing for them to return my application. I have printed out the newer versions of the forms, filled them out, and sent them in the mail to my husband in Costa Rica for him to sign them. He will sign them and send them back to me so that I am ready should they return the application, or request updated forms. Whichever happens I will be ready! lol

The letter (sent via email) stated that we have 45 days to submit the missing form, and if it's not received within that time, the application will be sent back. So at least they give a bit of a grace period before sending it back!

Oh my gosh, you are totally on top of things. I am in same boat. My forms are outdated too i think. Even the police clearance is more than 3 months old. So, my wife went and re-did the police, and mailed to me this week. Now, reading your post, I should've asked her to just re-do some forms too with a new recent date. Ah.. All this waiting is making me nervous.

Did anybody on this March thread use some forms that were from oct nov dec? And did anyone have the signatures on the forms that are older than 3 months old? My father actually said that the government of Canada views signatures on forms that are under 6 months are valid and legal... But thats more to do with something else...just wondering how cic views the dates ?

agarand8, I feel bad about your situation. I hope you have family and friends who are there for you.

Oh I did a sneaky thing with the signatures. Lol I had Gerald sign all of the forms and then I dated them the week that I mailed them. There was only one form that had a date on it for sept 2013 because I guess I forgot that one. I think that you'll be fine with the signatures. I was telling my dad about the updated form problem today and he suggested that if I can't see any real differences with the new form and the old form it might just be that they put an updated form every year or something, just a formality. He suggested that if the form didn't actually change it might not be a problem. I know when I was filling out the forms again the only one that I actually noticed any changes on was the additional family info one. So we might be ok.

Thank you. I do have family but it can be difficult for them to understand. I posted a few weeks ago that I would've liked to start a coffee night for any other applicants or new immigrants that are in the Regina area. No one responded so I guess there's no one in my area.

No, I'm sorry, I'm no where near Regina. Just try not to stress over this sponsorship process because stress would not be good for your unborn child. Just relax and have faith in the system. The only thing CIC should look at is if this is a real relationship, so it shouldn't matter what education he has.

I'm in the same boat as you!
Our package was also received on the 17th of March and I'm getting anxious and waiting.
Please do keep us updated...

How is it some people got AOR within 8 days and 12 days while other's haven't for almost 28 days?
I don't get the inconsistency.

yeah they got my application on mar 11 and i just gor the AOR on Apr 9.

 

[Kan_Sri]

I got my AOR on 4th Apr. I did not hear from them for almost a week, hence upon calling CIC they said they mailed the SA on 4th which i have not received it yet.

ECAS now says "Decision Made" from "In Process" (which was the status before the call to CIC).

I am just wondering does it always says Decision Made or will it ever sat Sponsorship Approved?

Thanks

Wow so you have SA as well on April 4th (technically)! Congrads! So I bet your application is en route to the VO.

 

[Heroine]

I can finally check my status online now,sponsorship application status-in process(and i got the letter saying my husband is eligibility to be a sponsor and my application is sending to my country's cic office)

and the PR application status-Application received

just wondering is my application is in a lateral stage than "decision made",im a bit confused and I didnt see any"decision made" ,never.


Thanks

just checked the website and they are currently working on apps received 3/12. SOOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!!!

What is 3/12? Is that the 3rd of December, or March 12th? I know which I want it to be!

 

[Gumby749]

I am the admin for the March spreadsheet, I know what it says. That doesn't mean that Manila applicants are getting fasttracked because if they were I think you would see all of them with really quick times, but there is only two. It is kinda weird but we don't know what happened, could be a new gov't employee who grabbed a couple of files off of the wrong pile for all we know.

I was wondering about the packaging. Mine docs went in one of those DHL "briefcase" boxes rather than an envelope. I was wondering if maybe it didnt' balance nicely on a pile of mail, so it got picked up first. Let's do a survey - those of you with fairly fast processing times, did you use envelopes, or did you use boxes?
