Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[PhdStream]

Thanks! I've contacted the London office anyway as the letter accompanying the COPR says they should be told if anything is wrong. Better to be safe than sorry, I'll be panicking when I land otherwise. At least this way I can say I did what I could if anything comes of it.

Still no sign of our sponsor approval though my sponsors ecas stages say:
We started processing your application on April 21, 2015.
We sent you a letter on May 4, 2015 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

If that helps for the spreadsheet at all?

So does that mean, you never received letter/email confirming SA?

So you never received a letter or e-mail about sponsor approval?

Also the "We started processing your application on April 21, 2015" is this under the Permanent Residence section? If so that means they started processing the permanent residence application before your sponsor received sponsor approval. Your timeline seems a little off, your decision made date is May 6th but according to the above they reached a decision on May 4th.

Can I take the flight for another city other than my final destination (which is wriiten on my COPR). If yes, Do i have to show them my next itnenary to my final destination..

As long as you aren't trying to land in Quebec without a CSQ, you can land wherever you want in Canada and aren't required to show any proof of ongoing travel, regardless of the destination listed on your COPR.

My sponsor never received an email or letter and he has been watching like a hawk, all I can think is that Canada Post lost it or it was sent to our old address seeing as they haven't seemed to have updated our information, and the new tenant didn't pass that letter on.

The "We started processing your application on April 21, 2015" part is on my sponsors ecas sign in, under the sponsor application part, same with the decision made on May 4th, so I assume that's all only related to the sponsor approval, not the PR part. Under the PR section it says they started processing on May 4th. Does that make more sense or am I confusing it even more? Sorry!

Okay well it seems they started processing your application on May 4th and sent your COPR that day. Spreadsheet updated.

Receiving both stage 1 and stage 2 approval at pretty much the same time is a common occurrence (at least, it was common prior to the processing time increase) in inland apps, which are completely processed at the same office. Many applicants received AIP (comparable to outland SA) and DM on the same day.

Until recently, outland Stage 2 was always processed at a separate office, so both stages being approved at the same time just wasn't possible. With some apps now being held at Mississauga for the whole process now, it will probably happen more.

Hello All
I have applied for my husband who is living in the UK on 22/OCT/2014 and we got SA on 15/JAN/2015.after that our application transfered to London and on 12/FEB/2015 my husband received an email to send new passport photos. Since that time(about 4 ,months) we are waiting for any news from London visa office. Does anybody know how long this stage will take? or how long approximately left for pass request?
