congrats!

I haven't called yet. I'm on day 37 so to be safe I'll call them on Monday if I haven't heard anything since it's more than the 39 days.

Just curious what was the number you used to call them. Was last 4 numbers 2100?

Hello March Family,

I know there's a Quebec Immigration section but i'll still ask my question here and on there too.

I would like to know if I have to translate my husband's passport. I called but I was on hold for quite a while. Even after reading what MIDI wrote i'm still confused.

Translation

definition of a recognized translator, consult our Web site at www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/document-requirements.

Hi everyone,
I am US citizen, husband is Canadian, we've been married almost 7 years living in the US and we have a daughter.
Our application was received 03-15-2016, AOR 04-08-2016 and no SA yet... Such a long time between AOR and SA .
I'm starting to worry and feel impatient. I remember going through this with my husband's US visa. It's taxing.

Congrats to those who have their SA!!!

Just wanted to post something and say hi cuz both of us are here lurking a bit ;D
Our stats are on the spreadsheet.

I have questions since you guys sent your applications already, you must know; if it is not the right place let me know.

I'm applying outland but living in Canada.

my comnon-law partner sponsors me. no kids, no relatives are going to be sponsored.

1)on 5491 document checklist #18 proof of income she is self employed what to provide ? beside Notice of Assessment that is asked at#17 ?

2)section : sponsored person and family members
#22,23,24,25,26,27, Do I need to provide those documents only for me (applicant) or also my family members (my sisters, brother) provide related documents?

and where is "The immigrant's Guide" that is mentioned on those questions(22,23,24,25,26,27)
3) application kit consist of 3 parts...
Part 1: Sponsorship forms
Part 2: Immigration forms
Part 3: Information guides (Sponsored relatives must follow specific instructions depending on where they live. To find their region, use the list below.
Do I need to use part 3 ? I dont have any relatives to sponsor or to be sponsored)

March 10 applicant, received AOR April 5th, no SA yet.

Called CIC earlier this week, agent put in a note asking why the delay... called in right now and still no update on that note.

Feeling a bit frustrated as people much later than me have received SA already a while ago.
