September 2011 - Here we go!

[Marco2011]

I will update the spreadsheet

@ Kedeisha A little update from me


Date Application Mailed: 31/08/2011
Date Application received by CIC: 02/09/2011 (Got a signature for received at CIC).

Just a small adjustment for application mailed: P , but still.

 

[Kedeisha]

any one else with update as to when their app was received

Hi everyone i have a question how did you guys mail ur apPlication was it by regular mail?

 

[Kedeisha]

I plan to mail mine as soon as i get my marriage certificate tomorrow from fedex i might do xpresspost or courier

dont do regular mail you wont know it has been received as a signature is your way to know it has been received especially with cpc-m not giving any type of acknowledgement that they receive your app not a good idea IMO


hope by Tuesday my app is gone

My applications was received on Monday Sept 12, I got confirmation from Canada Post website, I used the next AM service, which was NOT the next AM, more like 2 days.

I would not use regular mail, if you use Canada Post, use any of the services that allow you to track and confirm the package has been delivered. I did not have a great experience with Canada Post and I've heard this a few times, so perhaps it may be worth it to go with Fedex or another courier company.

Good Luck

 

[Kedeisha]

i know silly question but is there a big difference in price between fedex and xpresspost

Edit: Anxious me went to the post office and found out the canada post private courier service will cost me max $20 n fed ex $40 so if my MC gets here tomorrow by noon after work I will be sending off my pckg with them arriving Tuesday at noon as I am choosing that option

I am happy and scared scared because it may not be good enough but happy to have it go and my hubby is EXTREMELY happy as he says he dont wanna hear anymore please send this please send that hahaha poor him

We're going to have ours in for the 31st of September (we've got all the paperwork done - we just want to show our lawyer)!
We're going through Paris. =)
Looking forward (as much as one can look forward to this) to going through the process with all of you!

Ok so i just realized that it takes 1year and 8 months for inland spousal sponsorship!!! Omg!!! Anyz i guess its better to be together for the wait than apart right? Lol also i just realized that u dont have to send ur medical in with application it can be sent at a later time as medicals expire 12 months after u take them and cic only review medicals in the second stage. Just wanted to clarify that. Good luck guys

Hi Kedeisha, I'm also trying to decide whether to get my husband send the package using Canada Post or Fedex.. Since he's in Canada, maybe Canada Post will be okay.. Anyone who would really advise against this??

Chinda, do you know that you can apply via outland even though you'll be in Canada? Applying outland is usually faster and you can leave Canada. The only drawback is that if you get called for interview you have to go to the country where you're applying from. But look it up if you don't know about this already. There are lots of threads that address this.
