I just got back from two weeks out west in Banff (so beautiful!) and so haven't had much time to check this thread, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do! Lol
Congratulations Murphy25... :)

Hey

I watched the news this evening about Manila Flooding.
Are you guys Ok right now for those who are in Manila now?

:eek:
Luckily we're not that affected by the typhoon but they said that 60% of Manila are affected. I pray for the safety of everyone.

So who's running the Spreadsheet for July 2013, out of curiosity?

I sent the application on July 15th, it arrived on the 17th (according to Canada Post) and on August 15th, they sent me a letter informing me of my Sponsorship Status approval. (according to the letterhead)

Oh my god I'm so excited I could pass out.

Hello MistahFixIt! Welcome to our thread! BossJosh and I are the moderators of the spreadsheet.By the way, congratulations on your SA.

You've been added to the spreadsheet already. You are on row # 24, in between Hungary and mapleafgirl. May I ask when did you have your medicals done, the date of your AOR and where you're bound to in Canada?

Here's the link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvI5l_hMO7UKdGZFUGU4VFJVcTU5OWJDQWhaYnU2NGc&usp=sharing&ndplr=1#gid=0

Cheers! ;) ;) ;)

Thank you very much oh101 for your concern. :-*
Yes, most parts of Manila are flooded right now. Actually the monsoon rains that poured down on our city these past few days has brought a knee deep flood on the street in front of our house for 2 days. Fortunately, our house is high enough and the flood only reached the ramp on the sidewalk .

But we are okay. We always have our stocks of food and other emergency items. :) :) :)

Thanks again! I really appreciate your concern to us. ;) ;) ;)

I was never issued an AOR, and my wife had her medicals done on April 20th. (They'll likely request a follow-up medical, but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it ;P)

We're bound for St. John's, Newfoundland, if all goes according to plan.

Wow, I was gone for a few days and now there is a lot to catch up on with the discussions.
So I will start with what I know from reading this page:

Hi MistahFixIt, and to anyone else who joined the Chill Spot recently, welcome to the forum.
And congrats to you, Blackwood, Murphy25 and everyone who got their SA and AoRs. Almost everyone has their AoRs and more than half of us have our SAs by now so YAY :p ;D

And best of luck to all who are still waiting for their SAs, I am sure they will come shortly.
Hang in there Hungary, I hope you get your SA soon. Good luck sis. :-*

Good to know you are ok Mrsalvaro :). I hope everyone else is okay as well in Manila :(.

Hello!

I feel kind of lost in this whole process, although we are making some progress so we must be doing something right! I'm sponsoring my husband from Northern Ireland... medicals were done way long ago, April 17 2013 (long story)... I sent our application to Mississauga July 9, received on July 10, and got a letter dated August 9th staying I've been approved as sponsor and our file transfered to London Visa office. Medicals show as received, and application status when I check (obsessively) is "Application Received". So, we wait. It's nice to be part of a forum so I can talk to other people about this! I'm living in Vancouver, nice to meet all of you :)
