Hmmm 5 to 6 you mean to receive it in hands or for them to send it by mail?
My concern is that my sponsor will change her address and... what should I do?
If she call, they will change her malling address? Or we don't have this option?
At least if they send it by CanadaPost we could use that resource that they have.
Sad...
If your wife lives in Montreal it doesn't matter since it will take 2 or 3 days between sending and receiving it. You can ask Canadapost to forward your mails to the address you like... it is not free but this way you will be sure to receive it.

Yes she's living in Montréal!
Can I do it? Good to know.
I asked that before in this forum and no one was able to say if it was delivered by Canada post :D
Well thank you very much.
Mind if I ask you something? Where do you get information about csq?

I have friends that completed the sponsorship in Quebec, and I read people's experiences on french forums.

For the mail forwarding, a friend of mine did it (forwarded to my house), it costs him around 55$ for 4 months. I do receive his mail so it works!

Finally Received my AOR2. They send another email asking for Nikah Nama in Bengali and certified translated copy, though I have submitted certified translated copy with my primary submission. how long it takes for them to decide whether I need an interview or not. I thought I have submitted everything that they asked for. apparently it looks like I didn't. I am really worried at this point. any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Y? Dont you think they wont allow her entry if she's pregnant? Because the baby is going to have the citizenship for sure.

She is the SPONSOR! So her husband is the one coming here according to her previous post. Therefore, the baby will be Canadian regardless. But in the application it says that if you are pregnant to let them know so they can expedite the process. It's not fair for her to go through that alone, especially since she waited enough. CIC shouldn't be this slow anyways but when it comes to pregnant women, there could be complications or god knows what, so they should allow the husband to come here be with her....either by approving PR or letting him come with a visa.

Hi LLAngel yes I did I included my baby in the additional dependant form because they said regardless of age and I also gave them a copy of my doctor's letter stating I am pregnant with his signature. I don't have worry issues with CPC-M during my sponsorship approval processing times, but with Manila they should have emailed me 2 weeks ago but no news until then which sucks..... Thanks for your reply best of luck to all of us waiting Im stretching my patience! :) :) :)

It is an additional form that you have to submit to CEM, more like a biographical data form. For some cases, they would have you send the passport with it (passport request). But unless stated otherwise, it is not yet required. Let's just hope for the best. We are almost there.:)

In what application does it say this? CIC does not expedite PR's for pregnant sponsors or applicants. Everyone had to wait their turn. I would more likely expect them to issue the visa if they were actually concerned about him being there for the birth.

ROFL, like thats going to happen. CIC doesn't care if you're pregnant and they sure the hell aren't going to speed up an application for that reason. Heck, as far as they are concerned, it could be considered irresponsible to get knocked up when you know you can't be with your spouse for a while.

This is blatantly and completely false
