;D We mailed our application yesterday (March 15) around 4:00pm via Canada Post XpressPost (2 days max.) and it was delivered this morning at 9:57am! So fast! Looks like it was signed for by Y A? Don't think I've seen that one before.

Mine was signed by Y A as well

Hi all,

My wife is Canadian and I'm Scottish. We sent off our application at the weekend and it arrived today (signed by "mailwroom dave").

Such a relief to get the application sent off and have it be received by CIC! ;D ;D

We spent about 6 weeks filling it all out and just hope we haven't forgotten anything. Very much hopeful that'll it be smooth process for all of us in the March group. Looking forward to reading about everyone's status in the months ahead!

Good luck to everyone,
Steven & Kate.

My husband sent mine on the 3rd March as well. Delivered on the 4th of MArch. Mine was delivered to the mail room and it says signed for by E.EMAJ. But teh signature is YA i think.

It took us almost 2 months to prepare all evidences. I remember every little detail that i had sent.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Hi everyone. Application rcvd today( 17th march). My husband sent the package from Surrey on 16th march. My only concern is that my medical was done on 2nd July 2015. The panel physician refused to do another until this one expires.
Anyone here has any idea?



P.S. Good Luck to the March Family!

Sent my application on March 14 through expresspost from Toronto to Mississauga and they received it on March 16. I'm getting my postage refunded.

I'm sponsoring my wife in Vietnam who is also taking care of our 8 month old daughter on her own. Our daughter is a Canadian citizen born in Vietnam. I've spent the entire 2014 living with my wife and half year each in 2015 and 2016 in Vietnam.

Hope she gets approved quickly. Getting tired of flying 20 hours to and from Vietnam twice a year.

Hi, I just got married to my US husband this past Saturday March 12/16. We want to start the sponsorship Outland process right away but are not sure if we have to wait until we can get a copy of the marriage certificate first. I am told that we can not apply for the marriage certificate for 2 months after marriage and then it takes another 6 weeks after that to actually receive it. That whole process could take 3-4 months before we receive a marriage certificate in the mail. We are hoping not to have to wait that long to start the application but all we have is the marriage paper they give you at your wedding when you sign the papers, is that good enough to start? Also, when does my husband who will be in the US doing and Outland during all of this, have to do the medical and criminal check and do they get submitted at the same time as the application? I was on the CIC website and there are sponsorship forms and then there are immigration forms, do we fill them all out at the same time? Maybe someone can provide all the "MM" numbers of the forms that we have to submit. That would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know where to get the forms for my US husband to fill out for the medical and criminal or how that is done?

Sorry for so many questions but this is all very confusing

TIA

Hi there,

Firstly, congratulations on getting married ;D I'm also in the first year of marriage, it's a nice feeling!

You will be able to get all of the application forms (sponsorship and immigration) at cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp. The first form you will see is a document checklist for the sponsor, where it specifies that one of the supporting documents you will need to provide (if married) is the marriage certificate, as far as I know this is an important document and if not included could result in your application being returned... delaying the process for you. However, it might help to check with an immigration consultant to confirm this, as they will know for sure.

Also in this checklist it mentions to include a medical certificate (provided by an approved CIC doctor) along with your application when you first send it. I have read of people on this forum sending it in afterwards, but this is usually if they have forgotten it. Again, you will want to do whatever is least likely to delay your application, or result in you having to appeal. This also applies to the police certificate, it is on the checklist and should be sent off along with the application.

All the sponsorship and immigration forms (along with proof of relationship, proof of intent to remain in Canada, etc.) are all required when you send off the application. This is also something we asked in a meeting with an immigration consultant.

It is worth mentioning that it took us 6 or 7 weeks to get everything together after we arrived back from our honeymoon in January, so it's definitely not an easy or quick task to do! It will be well worth it though!!

Good luck and hope this helps you
