It's a straightforward case --- it's just a slllllllllooooooooooooooooow embassy. If only I became enamoured with an American or a Brit.... Nope, I chose a man from a disorganized Latin country. :p

Yes, I would agree with bonbon.. Do all the legalization stuff now! I've been the busy bee, registering a marriage, a birth, doing translations in order to do so... And the last 3 months since I started this process has passed quickly. Though I am slowly running out of things to do! I've discovered that the benefit of getting different responses from different people who are working doing birth/marriage registrations: You waste your time and energy focused on the confusion and talking on the phone trying to clarify things, that you forget about the sponsorship process.

Or maybe get pregnant?? It'll help distract you from the process... hardy har har

For those who are waiting for an AOR, maybe send the VO an email regarding this? You should have received it by then, I'd think. I'm not entirely sure if my husband was sent the AOR because we applied for a visitor's visa or because I sent them an email about not hearing anything from them. They responded to the email a few days later saying that they had already sent (by post) the AOR a few days earlier. Though why would they send it in the mail? We provided an email address....

Dadu and GT25: My letter was sent on PDF format through my email. It basically says that my file was received on October 21st, and that they have created a file number for me. Letter is dated December 2nd (same date they sent it). And... that's about it! :-\ Sorry it doesn't help much.. I can't wait for you to receive news from your VO's!! Please keep us posted!!

limanoid: Oh no :( I'm so sorry to hear his visitor visa got denied.. :( But at lest you know that they're processing his case. Is it a straight forward case? I hope it will be processed quickly, please let us know!! Good luck and best vibes your way!

Everyone: Don't grow impatient!! Try to look into other things like updating your married name, updating married status on CRA, legalizing documents like professional titles, etc etc.. Think that if you do it now, besides keeping you busy and making time go faster, it will save you time later on as once you/your spouse lands and starts settling in the country, spending time with relatives, and most importantly with each other, you won't have time for any of this!! :)
I'm crossing my fingers all the time so you all hear from your VO's soon!!

Cheer up Septemberians!!

Glad you didn't have to leave - I had to go back to England as visa ran out - needed to work so returned despite having opportunity to stay but not to work - would drive me nuts! Plus outland is sooo much quicker!

Hi Boblu,

Yes - this happened to me about 2 weeks ago - the ecas tracker showed that I had an update but the only thing that had changed was that they had added in my mailing address. They obviously do this occasionally!

Haha, I'm trying not to get too excited because I'm really not sure we'll get it before Christmas!!! Part of me is still panicking that they're going to request additional documents!! I'm going to Cuba on Thursday so it would be amazing to get it before then......

How about you? How are you holding up?!!

Yeah good thanks! Luckily my job makes the day go a hell of alot quicker so i'm flying thru the days atm. I would feel amazingly happy to have a PPR before Xmas, but I think due to my age, i'm expecting an interview at the High Commission.

And even if it was all sorted by Xmas - i wont probably go until mid Feb-ish

Hope we at least hear something in the next few weeks :)
