Nez, was your case so straigtforward? Or the documentation and proofs really clear? Any tidbits of knowledge from you could all help us. And congrats again!

Thanks!
 
I was able to log into e-cas today and it shows decision made on my sponsorship..they have sent a letter on August 8. The only address they list is mine, as the sponsor. Does this mean they are mailing it to me?

Yes, they will mail the decision to you!
 
I thought they mailed the decision to the person being sponsored and are asked for their passport no?
 
I believe that is for the second part of the process. I was just asking about the sponsorship letter. :)
 
ah ok... i thought it was the final decision for the whole process... my bad ;)
 
Just sent off the funds for her to go to Sao Paulo,god im going to have to start stripping or hooking on the street soon.Anyone want to hire an unexperienced male dancer for a party $5.00 and no i dont make change.lol I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad. 5 days till the outcome.
 
I feel your pain..lol...this has been a very expensive process for sure. Between flights every couple months, lost wages due to travel, extra expenses and fees, childcare and other costs...omg! I work fulltime, overtime, and do anything and everything I can do to bring in extra $ (almost..lol). He works almost constantly as well just to make this work...I will be sooo glad when we can both work to maintain ONE household :)
 
Im providing two households on my own lol.She makes a total of $300 CAD a month and thats the norm there.So im working like a 16 year old trying to buy his first car lol.
