Great to hear of your success, atethepaint. We're settling in as well. In our case my wife was already living in country but our wait was one of out-of-pocket health expenses, no income, and no opportunity to study etc. She gave birth on May 1 and we've made several contacts with other Japanese...

Congratulations, PC!

Ordering your gcms notes does not slow down your application to my knowledge. It certainly didn't seem to in my case. You can find the information you want here: http://immipedia.ca/Main_Page

Wow. Welcome to Canada!

Here's an odd little sign of the times. The Tokyo embassy no longer offers a Visa or Immigration office. Those services are now being offered by the embassy in Manila. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/japan-japon/index.aspx?lang=eng&view=d

Wow, why would they do that. Well, congratulations none the less!

Congratulations! (I've added your record to the spreadsheet.) BTW, I recently met a fellow Canadian who'd brought his wife to Canada several years ago. He told me that Canada had been reprimanded by the UN for failing families like us. Anyone know any details about that?

Welcome to the Big Wait. ;) This thread's actually mostly for those who filed in 2011, but it may serve you to check in. If nothing else, the timelines in the spreadsheet (in my signature, or Evan's) can help you get an idea of what might be in store.

That's good advice. Congratulations, you're finally done! I don't agree that it's bad mojo, I was encouraged by those reports when I was still in the process. Hi! In a word, yes, talk to your MP's office. They'll likely send you a form to authorize their investigation on your behalf. But I...

Well said. (Everyone send Dragoon positive vibes!)

That's great to hear, enna00!!

I hope you found it "of some assistance". And yet it's worth writing because they typically assume that for every one who writes there are ten with the same opinion. Welcome to the forum. There have been some similar questions in the thread (above), have a look at the responses there. Hello...

Welcome to the wait, wargo. These are the questions all of us face. I assume from what you've said that you used the procedure for an "outland" spouse? That's what I did, and I received notice after about five weeks that I had approved as a sponsor and that the application had been sent to my...

Congratulations!! It's amazing to me how variable and opaque the system is, but at least you're on your way.

Great! This is the first request for interview any of us Aprilites have experienced, good to hear that schedulinig an interview is not going to be a major wait in of itself. (One hears that it's quite different for inland interviews.)

My MP's office was very helpful, good luck with that. Enna0 and evanhindra, your updates are in. Enna0, that's a long wait just for an interview request, but it's better than nothing and/or rejection. Best of luck to you! peoples_champ, shall I add you to our April spreadsheet?

Good luck to you, sir!

Congratulations on the pregnancy! (It sure seems to be part of the terrain for spousal visa applications.) Welcome to the forum, I've added you to the spreadsheet. I've adjusted your reported dates for 2011. 8) It's amazing that the same procedure can go so many different ways.

Hello, Enna00. I've added you to the spreadsheet that you can see in my signature. I haven't had too many updates from the group recently but you're not alone. If you'd like to have your dates filled out in the spreadsheet, please provide them.

Exactly. And yet who was there to tell them that. A couple of forums they'd have had to go find themselves, certainly not her visa office in the UK or the "help" line here in Canada or any official website. Congratulations! The same thing happened to us (I suppose it's to be expected with...
