Re: Spousal sponsorship: Change of Spouse Address

alonekitchener said:
Hello All,
Can anyone help me with my case? My wife is changing address from USA where she was a student to Bangladesh where she will now reside until our application is approved and she can move to Canada as a permanent resident. How would I inform the CIC? Does it matter much her address has changed (as the principal applicant). I am assuming that it is more important that the sponsor doesn't change his or her address (which is the case here). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

If your wife has received her UCI, she can log on to ECAS online and change her address. Both the sponsor and the principal applicant get different UCI (unique client identifier). Alternatively, you can call the CIC office.

You can't know your wife's UCI until SVO sends the email..

If we are both living in Canada, and would like to send it outland, do I send it to Canada and then they forward it Outland? So in IMM0008 Where it says 'Immigration office requested for processing this application' Where do I put? England? Paris? I don't know! Because the way the Document Checklist makes it look is that we fill out everything and send it away and that's it right? I can't procrastinate anymore and am sick of this confusion! I just want to get this all done once and for all :(

Hi everyone,

I'd like to ask how long will it take to wait to get back your passport once the ECAS was changed to Decision Made?

I've been waiting for like a week already (8 working days) :(

Thank you in advance for your help, it'll make me worry less.

Hello! :)

Does somebody maybe know how long does it take to Vienna to put a visa in passport, and inform you it is ready to pick it up, if you send it by DHL or Fedex?
Thanks in advance!

hello all.

IMM 5406 (additional family information) - does my canadian husband need to complete this? from my knowledge NO because he's from Canada and this form is in the 'immigrant' section ... but in the form it says that the principal applicant (me) AND my spouse/partner need to complete this. He is my spouse but not outside Canada.. so, does he need to complete it or not? thank you ;)

No, he doesn't.. Just anyone who is an applicant, principal or otherwise.

@ rhcohen2014 - i think MP is 'member of parliament' and you can find your MP from a site (don't know the link) based on your postal code if i'm not mistaking - seniors correct me if necessary

@ zardoz thank you for the reply, i wanted to be sure :)

If your application exceeds normal posted processing times and you haven't heard anything from CIC. An MP cannot speed up the processing of an application. However they can help to get current status if you've been waiting too long.
