For sure, andrew-brit! I'm not sure if I'm the applicant (I'm the Canadian one) or if my British partner is. Anyway, we applied from Edmonton, where we lived together for a year, but when his work visa ran out (we had thought he could stay and work under "implied status," but only found out after we had applied that (a) that doesn't apply for outland visas, and (b) he wouldn't have been eligible anyway because his working visa was a working holiday visa, so we found out abruptly that he had to "cease working immediately" in September, a month after we'd applied for sponsorship), he decided to take advantage of a work visa in New Zealand while I started acupuncture school in Victoria, BC because I couldn't afford to pay for his living expenses while we waited to hear back on a response. If it is relevant at all, he's from Norfolk in England.

Thanks, before I add you can you tell me the principal applicant's location? Closest city is fine if you do not want to be too specific.
Also, andrew-brit, since our timelines are pretty close to identical, I was wondering if you (or anyone else) have any thoughts on what happens if the COPR comes more than a year after medicals were done. We are one of the unlucky ones who had our application sent to London, and since my partner did his medical exam in July 2014 so it could be ready for our August 10th submission, there's a very good chance London may not process our file until after his medicals have "expired." Thoughts?
Also, huge congratulations, Aniabella!

I haven't received any requests of any kind, so does that mean they extended my medicals?
