Hi everyone!

Could I please be added to the spreadsheet? Thanks!

Application received in Mississauga: July 11, 2016
Are you Sponsor or Applicant: Sponsor
Sponsor is Canadian Citizen or PR: Canadian Citizen
Sponsoring: Common-Law Partner
Medical done: March 1, 2016
City: Corby, UK


Fingers crossed for a quick approval! Our application sat in Canadian Customs for almost 3 months, uggghh! Just hoping we get approved before we need to apply for an extension on the medial.

Good luck to everyone who has applied recently!
Added!

3 months in customs?! What did you send?!

Keep us updated! :)

Hey all! Does anyone know when family sponsorship applications will be viewable on MyCIC? I thought it was mid-July?

Hello Everyone,

Congrats Phillipa on getting DM!

Just wanted to get some advice. I've been asked for additional documentation (photos, updated police check and schedule A). Just wondering how to send it. Should I send it via email or through carrier?

Thanks!

You can usually see on CIC after you get sponsor approval. Given you were approved in March, you should definitely be able to log into ECAS. What error are you geting? Have you checked the troubleshooting suggestions in the FAQ?

What did your letter say? Because they also requested photos I would think you'd have to mail it. Use a courier so you know it got there.

I can view on Ecas but I read somewhere that MyCIC will have the information viewable in the notes that people order... Just hoping once that's all in order it'll show something to give us hope that our file has at least been looked at... It's so hard to be patient!

First I'm hearing of it. Would be cool if they did that though!

Updated, congrats! (I guessed on the spreadsheet info for you, we track everyone through London, not just Brits and Pakistanis, but I think I was able to work out enough info from your previous posts.)

Apparently paperwork is really dangerous these days! I have no idea why it sat in Customs for so long, I was beginning to panic that it had been lost. I mean after all that work, could you imagine being told it was missing?! :eek:

But! All is well now, at least as far as I know. Hoping to get AOR1 soon and access to eCAs, and really hoping for a quick SA. Obviously we had plans to move by Christmas time, which has now all been pushed back thanks to Customs. All I really care about it that it got there right now lol

Thanks again.

Ummmm I would send that one as a case-specific email marked urgent. I'm not certain, honestly. I would think only the new one, but I may be incorrect... Anyone else have any idea?
