Hey everyone,
Just found this forum. Wish I knew about it months ago so I didn't feel so alone during this process.
Quick info:
Filed - Sept 7th, 2012
Sponsor approved - Oct 15th, 2012
Received Manila - Oct 30th, 2012
Status - Application Received.
All my meds and stuff was done with original package. We were married last June, and have two children. First was born Feb 18th, 2012, and second was born Feb 19th, 2013. No wasting time there! lol. Both kids are being taken care of under the Canadian Citizenship process, and only my wife is being sponsored. I have been flying back and forth, since last March until now, 8 times already, and have the next trip booked for June for our anniversary.
Quick question, when they are requesting for my wife's passport, will the status online change from "Application Received". I am just worried that they are trying to contact her without getting through. How were any of you contacted? And did they ever contact the Canadian Sponsor?
Thanks, and I hope the best for everyone! Great site and spreadsheet!
