I didn't know this, but apparently you can check your status by entering your receipt number from the Imm5401 form. I haven't tried it myself but worth a try!

You can try using your reciept number that you recieved when paying the initial fee. But if you havn't been assigned a UCI number yet there wouldn't be anything there. They don't usually update the site with information until they have stated working on your application. I didn't get my UCI number until I recieved the email for sponsorship approval.

Oh, awesome...I also went last year in December, and we were meeting up 6 months since I left after the wedding, and butterflies...and the thought of having my wife in my arms were just too good...and the best of all was, she never knew I was coming home and I had planned to wake her up in the morning (that's when I got there) and wish her good morning......ahhhh....still get chills when I think about that time...and can't believe my family (specially my dad) and I were able to keep this from her and surprise her all together...

all of us deserve to be with our spouses...and if not others, people who sponsor their spouses can totally understand what is it worth to be with each other...
Oh... why do you have to do this to us..?!?
Even I got the chills from here...
That's so freaking sweet!

Good afternoon novemeber members,

Next month I will be going to see hubby it will be 5 months since he left canada to go home to his country to wait out his sponsorship journey. We were talking today he said he is feeling nervous to see me it's like the first time ever meeting. I'm feeling the same was wondering if any of you felt this way? Just some food for thought. I'm excited and having butterflies can't wait to be in his arms.
Most definitely feel/felt that way, I always get excited and butterflies in my stomach lol

So we have not received anything the mail yet. But so glad I have some peace of mind that our application wasnt lost or something!!

Now onto stage two..
Hello Canadianna

Would you like to be added to the spreadsheet? Please provide when your medicals were done and what your VO is.

They are the notes you can order that tell you what has happened with your file. Once it gets to the VO, any comments that the IO has will be listed on the notes. It's a head's up if there are any "red" flags that may arise and result in an interview.

GCMS notes show you the work that has been done on your application. You have to order them at a cost of 5.00, a consent form needs to be signed by the applicant and it takes 30days to receive them.
