The Sponsor's information is entered onto ecas. Having to send in additional information is different for everyone, it's case by case. It's also not entirely random. If you forgot something, they'll ask for it. If they feel you didn't prove your relationship was genuine enough or they're skeptical about something or maybe something just needs clarification, they'll ask you. So there's a 50% chance, but if you have a straightforward case and you sent everything in you were supposed to on time, then your chances of having to send additional evidence just lessened dramatically.

Everyone sends in their passport when they request it, it's the final part of the processing before you get your visa.

Maybe. I'm so anxious!

Can someone tell me the number to call for Mississauga/Immigration? I want to double check that I can fax my Option C in.

I was getting a little worried so I called to ask again, and they said I'd be contacted when they needed my option C print out and my application wouldn't be sent back. Thankfully...

Cannot wait to hear something. :p

Thank you :)
AngelB, I am sure you will get a response soon. All the best and remember that you will get the approval first and the letter will come later. Delays in mail etc. are common. I got the letter they had sent on 15th sep, today! So.. be patient, im sure your approval is almost done by now :) Good luck! this is the best feeling everr!!:D
