I've now just found out that because we are living in Banff, the whole of Banff does not get delivery to an address only to a po box

So now I'm def going to have to update my address I have a number to call so I will gove that a try

Has anyone updated their pr card address? Is it best to call them? Or is there an online tool I can use?

@ canadianinuk, thanks and I wish you luck with your application I'm still going to be around on the forum so if there's anything I can help with I will try my best

I don't know the answer to your question but wanted to say that you have picked a beautiful place to settle. I am in Edmonton so just a few hours away with much less pretty scenery lol

Hello all,

First of many thanks for creating this thread. I am going to marry my fiancee, this December, who currently living in London, UK. I am not preparing for her sponsorship application for probably early 2015.

I encounter one confusion. Is there any minimum income limit to sponsor wife (first marriage for both of us and none of has any dependent). Reason is I am a graduate student and gets scholarship, which is not considered as income.

I am also a student and was able to successfully sponsor my husband. While there is no minimum income, you will be expected to explain how you will support yourself and your partner. They want to make sure neither of you will end up on welfare

Just an update for the spreadsheet;

My visa office is London and located in Calgary...

Thanks

Updated. Thank you

 

[Becki567]

If someone wants to update the spreadsheet, we received an email today requesting an additional form (apparently we forgot to submit IMM5406). Sent it via email AND by the post today.

Bit bummed out that we forgot the form, but at least, we know things are moving along and can now access ECAS...

Updated! At least the application wasn't sent back and it is a great feeling to know your application has been looked at. Do you know which office is processing your application so I can update that section of spreadsheet?

spreadsheet question...

If it helps you can add in my notes that I didn't pay RPRF upfront (don't know why!) but I did pay it before it was requested, on 9th September 2014.

Also, not sure if it's just a coincidence but the person below me in the spreadsheet, nishra, also has in their notes that they paid RPRF in early sept...not sure if that was meant to be in my notes or we both are just on the same path!

Thanks for your help

Updated! Thank you

Looks like this is still in Stage 1 as she doesn't have sponsor approval yet.

FYI petitepoutine - expect sponsor approval to take around 110 or so days now instead of the advertised 50-60... forgotten forms seems to double processing times for sponsor approval, you can see this if you scroll up on the spreadsheet and look at some others who have forgotten forms.

Hi everyone just a quick update to say I received my COPR in the post today so you can update the spreadsheet!
I am so excited!!!!!!
My moving date will be 21st January so all I have to do is book my flights now

Updated! Hope you find a good flight. We have been looking at various flights and depending on where in Canada you are flying to you, you might want to try Iceland Air, or Canadian Affair

After requesting my ATIP notes, there´s finally been some movement on my application (what a coincidence)

As of 24th September, I´ve now gone 'in process'. Hopefully a DM will follow soon after. Also, I´m living in Montreal.

Thanks

Updated. Did you find your notes helpful at all?

I am just looking at your timeline at the side, just wondering when you say Aor do you mean sponsorship or did you actually get an AOR. how did you know when your file was transferred to London or where they done here in Mississauga? Congratulations !!!

AOR - acknowledgement of receipt is received separately from sponsor approval. Many people get them on the same day, but not always.

You will know which office has your application by your sponsor approval letter. It will state where your application has been forwarded for further processing.

Yeah, exactly, thanks for the clarification!

And yeah, I figured it would take longer... I'm under the impression they don't actually look at the application again until the deadline to send new forms passes... It's just a theory, but that's what it looks like considering other stats.

oops! Guess I was just getting used to requesting more information from all the other updates to the spreadsheet this morning. ;D

No worries! I wasn't around this weekend so have just caught up on all the updates from BE! Had about 10 to do! Busy weekend evidently!

I only ordered them last Wednesday, so I won't get them until late October. Just happy to see an 'in process' update on eCAS after the deafening silence since early April. It's giving me hope again!
