Hi everyone,

Still plugging away at the application, meds were done last week and things are finally beginning to come together. We too should have ours sent off by the first week in November.

Pinklady- I saw you mentioned the Option C printout, is it applicable for outland spousal applications?

My hubby (my sponsor) has been in England with me sinec May 2010 so we sent off a P60 and payslips for this year and the 'note explaining why you dont have an option c'.

Im finding myself logging in here every day and reading whats going on each lunchbreak at work! LOL 5 months is going to be a LOOOONG wait haha, but nice to feel there are other people out there waiting....

Pinklady :) It may be too soon to add me to the spread sheet but feel free to if you want, we 've sent ours off 15th OCtober, medical arrived in London around 10th October from what I can tell.

Hope all you lovely people are well :p

SO are you part of the July group? I made a spreadsheet (see below) showing processing times through London. Would you allow me to add you to the list? If so can you please tell me when Mississauga received your app.
The sheet shows an average of 90 days from Londond receiving the app. So perhaps you'll hear something in another 4-6 weeks.
Good luck!
Hi Pinklady,

SOrry for the late reply. yes please add us to the list, we sent our application to Missasuaga July 13th 2011 and received confirmation of approval and forwarding of documents on September 6th 2011.

Thanks,

ALANMAURA

Hi Alasken

I just wanted to ask you if you know when London vo has started processing your application. I want to know becuase you had filed your application 3 days ahead of ours so i like to see what kind of updates you were getting since your file got to London

Thanks

I don't know as the only ecas update I got was 'medicals received'. I did not get an aor and my status never changed to 'in process' so I really don't know when they started working on it.

My case is very straightforward, but I put the application together myself so I was worried I had done a mistake. Also, some of my police certificates were outdated as per their requirements and my traffic history printout was from last year so I was really scared they would request new documents but it all worked out no problem :)

Thanks to everyone saying congrats!

Man I am envious!!!! But happy for you, and relieved to read about your outdated certificates, cuz I am afraid they'll ask for an American one from me, which I just applied for today and I believe it will take Forever to get it...

Yes if the sponsor lives in Canada. If not you can do as AnnaMcG did.
It is one of the required docs on the document checklist.

Good luck getting the application together, hope you can send it soon!
