Hello everyone I am new in this forum.
I just want to share the process of my family sponsorship application:
I am from Ecuador and my husband Canadian from Quebec. We hired a consultan to start the process since I live in Ecuador, sometimes sending documents takes a lot of time to deliver it.
My lawyer advised us to send everything at once! (medical exams, criminal record and birth certificated all already apostille and traducted by a credited translator, and we also paid all fees for the application+ the proof of our relationship) all of this at once!
We sent our application to the CIC on October 5,2016 and by October 13, 2016 the CIC sent as a letter saying they have received our application.
By November 03,2016 they sent us another letter saying the started processing our application.
By November 14,2016 we got another letter saying my husband got approve to be my sponsor. and also CIC forwarded my case to the visa office in Mexico.
By December 5,2016 we submit an undertaking application to the province of Quebec (MIDI). our lawyer send it.
January 19,2017 they started reviewing my application for the PR card.
And February 3,2017 the MIDI sent a correspondence to my husband saying that I got accepted and that now we have to wait for the Visa Office in Mexico for the final step. (in that correspondence shows I got my selection card and that I can have free French classes.
Well that is all so far. I don't know how long it will take the visa office in Mexico to get this done!
