Hi,

I don't get it! Did you ever open your MyCIC account ? If not you have to open one, if you so desire.

I got an email from CIC saying that they have received my application and gave me the UCI. Is this an AOR? does this mean my app is complete? Or it just means that they received it.
Regards Noor
Hi Noor,

My apprehension is that when you receive the UCI number, Missisauga opened your file. Did they mention that your file is being sent to the respective visa office? When you will get this information by email, you may assume that the sponsorship approval is complete and the respective visa office after completing necessary formalities would decide yes or no on the application in a couple of months.

Error in signature?

We have that kind of error. I'd like to know if they will let us know that they are returning our app. Any idea?

Thanks!
Hi,

It depends on the processing official. If it's not a major error, they won't send back the application.

Hi All,

Thank you again for sharing your interview experiences. It really is very helpful. My interview is early next month. I am very confident that I will do well but then when I read about the refusals, I get scared.

I have a lot of red flags:

Remarriage for both, Age difference, quick marriage, education. I am preparing everyday.

I need all your blessings.

Kind Regards
AARCEE

Hi,

That is the thing. I do not remember what type of account i opened. I was so stressed when i was paying for the application online that i forgot the type of account i had to open to pay for the app.
I should use my information or my husband's information to log on? I am the sponsor.

They just mentioned that they received the application. Does this mean all the papers are correct and nothing is missing?

Thanks again and always.

Hi AVP296,

I just checked your previous posts. If your spouse can face the forthcoming interview confidently with full preparation, she will definitely come back with flying colour. Most important point is to organize supporting papers (relationship proofs, communication records) and documents to address all the red flags or questions and concerns. Then let her do mock video interview as many as possible to build up self confidence and positivity!

Your presence if possible will be a plus point for sure unless you guys have lived together for a reasonable period after marriage. I recommend you to extract tips from this thread as much as possible and assist her to practice accordingly.

Good luck!

Hasan
awesome Hasan,
thank you, yes I am planning to go down there on 9th of dec and will be attending the interview with her if they let me or else separate.

Hi ppl.. please help me, I've got an e-mail calling for an interview in the end of this month.. along with the required documents, they've asked me to bring
"copy of your sponsor’s complete Personal Information form ( this must be in a sealed envelope) "
What does this mean? Is there an application form issued by CIC for this? Have any of you been asked for this form?
Hello Faa1599,

"copy of your sponsor’s complete Personal Information form” it means you need to bring your sponsor FORM “IMM 5540E” Sponsor QUESTIONNARIE.

Farhana

Recieved an email this morning from Mr. Richter informing my wife and I that after his review of our application he has found no need for an interview and our case has been approved and to expect PPR shortly!!!!!!

My wife and I are extremely happy right now.

I emailed him two weeks ago expressing my concerns and asking for a second review, and today our prayers have been answered.

Faith in CIC - restored.

;)
Congratulation
