we sent our application as common spouse on december 1st...as quebec common spouse

mississauga approved on dec 31st 2009. Quebec approved on Jan 23rd 2010.

In February I was in rome to visit my family (where the application is processed) and I passed by the embassy. I asked if they received my application and they said yes, it was there but still not opened. the girl told me that they received it at the end of January.

well my partner received a letter that they started to process (they opened) his file on MARCH 25TH...I mean, the application was there for two months and anyone touched it!!!

so we are still waiting right now. i really would like this visa right now....anyone with the same situation?
december ones still waiting?

Mirkopal, which visa office is processing your application? We sent our file in December 7, it was approved by Mississauga around January 5, then forwarded to Buffalo which "started processing" January 19. We are also still waiting.

we are in rome....italy...

any news from December?

Mexico asked us for additional proof of us living together, which we sent last week. No update as of yet, though.

Mirkopal, a similar situation happened to us - Buffalo had our application (even though we had specified that we wanted it sent to Mexico City, which is where my partner is from) and it took them 3 months to figure out that it was in the wrong office! All that wasted time...quite possibly no one even looked at our application for a majority of that time. So don't worry, you're not alone!

Good luck fellow Decemberites, and keep us posted!

Well it was in the right office because we asked Rome because my partner even he lives in France since 2005 he s Italian
just wondering about the right of being resident in Canada during the application because I am a PR as a sponsor
I came back to Montreal in December and se the application from there
I am actually writing mydissertation thesis and a lot of research that I need are in France
so this year I went to Paris 4 times for short periods (max 5 days)
obviously I stayed at my boyfriend s place
but going out of the country for professional and personal reason does not mean that you don't reside anymore right? I har also paied my taxes last month here!
Because some people are writing to me inthis forum that I will e rejected because I did not stay in the country during the process
but there is a difference between the word reside and staying
and what does it mean that someone need to stay for 10 monts without going out to Canada during all the process??

And btw the funniest thing is that in febrary when I stopped by the immigration office in Rome the woman really gently told me
your package is there but it has not been opened yet (it would be opened on march 25)
we received all ur emails that u sent (after having sen the application in December I sent emails to keep them posted when he was oigto visit me in Canada or short periods and our intentions ) and also said not to send anything else if it was not asked by them
and she cocludes like that
'but don t worry you are in the priority class'!!

Well I can imagine how much linger istaking or the others...
My partner is going to Italy to see hisfamily and he s wondering to pass by the immigration office again and ask fr more, or to give them more proofs (more pictures ad emails taken during this time plus plane tickets rtc)
but I don t think is a good idea right?
but I don't think is a good idea right?

 

[iarblue]

well they did tell you not to send any emails unless they asked so?Your guess is as good as anyones stop by it cant hurt but supplying more proof not it just slows it down when they have to add stuff you send or drop off.

 

[mirkopal]

You are right...infact I told him not to go

 

[NYCtoNB]

status on Ecas no says decision made :

A decision has been made on ****************application. The office will contact ************ concerning this decision.

 

[rachel6992]

Yay, congratulations!! Hopefully it's good news!

 

[mirkopal]

wow...
why don't they give an exact update about the decision???
I mean one still has to suffer like that !!!

 

[mirkopal]
