Hi all Octoberites!!
My friend (who went through this process last year) told me about this forum.
It is such a stressful situation waiting for news or info from CIC, nice to know we are not alone.
My Canadian wife is sponsoring me, we have been together for 7 years & I lived temporarily in Canada in the past.
Anyway, we applied on October 7th and we are doing this without any previous knowledge of the immigration process and without outside help.
I'm sure I will be talking to many of you over the coming weeks, I look forward to getting to know you all.
I would also like to ask a quick question for now -does CIC literally send out NO confirmation of having received our application until Stage 1 (sponsor eligibility) has been processed? We have received nothing since we applied and like I said we are new to this process. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that this is normal. I see that some people who applied on October 3rd have received emails, was this the first contact made by CIC?
Thanks guys & girls!
