Ok, I'm a newbie and a little confused one too ;D

I'm not Australian, however I do currently live here with my Canadian boyfriend. All this talk about visa offices..So do we send the application first to Mississauga (don't all outland applications go there?) and then they will forward it to the visa office of my choice, which would be Sydney for me? In some of the forms they ask which visa office you wish to use; do I put Sydney in it? But I send the application to Mississauga anyway?

Too complicated for my tired brain....

My application was incorrectly sent to Buffalo instead of Sydney by Mississauga CPC. Has anyone else ever heard of this?

Hi Pätkis

As I undestand it Outland (outside of Canada) applications for sponsorship of spouse, common law or conjugal partners all get submitted to Mississauga. Once they receive it they assess the sponsor, and if the sponsor is approved this will be forawrded to the Visa Office you have selected (although as you can see above, mistakes can be made :) so they can assess the applicant for permanent residency. The visa office you select must be either:
- your country of nationality, or
- the country in which you are residing, provided that you have been lawfully admitted to that country for at least one year.

I sent my application off too Mississauga, andhopefully very shortly we will hear back from them to say it's been transferred to Sydney.

Hope that helps?!

Thank you easykiwi for clearing that up! I thought that was the case, but I just wanted confirmation

Hi Agentblond,

I think I've heard of this applications occassionally being misdirected, but I also think someone else earlier in this thread had his application re-directed to the office in his home country, as opposed to Sydney, despite his being resident in Australia. I'm not sure what your situation is but if you are at all concerned you could contact Sydney and ask them to follow up, I've heard Buffalo can be a bit slack, but I've always heard back from Sydney within a day when I've had a query.

Good luck with stage 2!

Thanks easykiwi, I've contacted Sydney - just have to wait now I suppose. Lots of waiting seems to be the common theme for everyone.

They usually reply within 24 hours by email.

Hi All,

just wondering does Sydney VO sends any acknowledgement email/postal letter upon receipt of application file from Mississauga?

Hi All,

Yes......your sponsor will receive an email with the receipt number and details of the where the file is being transferred for furthur processing. With the issued tracking number you can start tracking your file status on ECAS.

Sydney office contacted my husband (in Melbourne, I'm in Canada), telling him to advise his sponsor to make payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee to Mississauga, which I did last week. Any idea how long the process may take from here? I sent the receipt to Mississauga on Tuesday. I really hope this speeds by....
