Thanks!

My husband and I have been reading up with what he needs to fill in order to go through the landing procedure this Friday when we finally fly into Toronto (yay!), but we have some doubts about if I need to fill anything out since even though I have my Canadian birth certificate and passport, and...

My husband's experience, which mirrored other people's, was that even though they say to not submit it, start doing the paperwork to get it in order to have it as it accelerates the process. I would probably opt to include it in the package with a letter stating that based on information you...

No prob, Venecan. I got this recommendation from someone else, and I was skeptical at first. But as soon as the file landed in Berlin, I sent the question and they answered the next day that I should get it myself. It takes about 2-3 weeks between getting it in the Ministerio de Justicia in...

Welcome to both of you! Good luck with everything. Venecan, if you've lived in Venezuela I highly recommend you start getting everything ready to ask for Venezuelan Police Clearance yourself and, as soon as your file is sent to Berlin, write to ask to get it yourself (instead of them asking for...

Thanks, Maya!

Thanks guys! I'm hoping this thread fills up with all of your visas soon!!!

Got my husband's PP with visa back. It was done on 22nd of March. :)

Got the passport back. :D Should be flying mid-July, once we finish things up here in Spain.

That is true. At the time I submitted the application, I had just stopped working as the company I was with went bankrupt. Right now, we're in Spain as students so, technically, both sponsor (Canadian citizen) and applicant are unemployed.

After the sponsorship approval, we didn't hear from Berlin until about two weeks later when we received AOR from the Berlin office, concerning the date that CIC-M had received our file in November (keep in my mind that during the 2.5 months we were waiting for my approval as a sponsor we heard...

Hey SEVEN07, first of all, this doesn't really apply in family sponsorship. The key issue that your relationship is genuine and that neither of you have an outstanding criminal record or debts to the Canadian government. They can not reject a spouse on the basis of other aspects as the purpose...

This is what I did, because, even though I was born in Canada, I have never lived there and thus haven't filed taxes there. I submitted a cover letter explaining the situation, along with a copy of my pay stubs for the past couple of months, etc. though I highly suspect that the latter was not...

Thanks to all of you. I a lot more start coming in so we can all be with our families starting out our new life.

Thanks Tonee!

I know what you mean. I think everyday that passes without much feedback makes the anxiety grow. My husband and I did make some mistakes in our forms which drove us nuts (a signature missing from one of the forms, forgetting to tick a box). We started calculating the days our setbacks would cost...

You should eventually receive either a letter by physical post or by email confirming the arrival of your application to Caracas. Some offices take time in sending this out. But it is very unlikely to have any trouble with that, The problem in Caracas, as we've been told, is that there is a...

Hey SEVEN07 Yeah, the problem is that neither my husband nor I were in Caracas nor are any of our family members, so we had to go through a "gestor" (gotta love centralism >:( ). We got it soon enough, could send it and got a response from Berlin quickly (Passport Request and Decision Made)...

Dyana, for the benefit of the rest of the forum I will write in English. Normally they send the file directly to the Visa Office (in your case, Caracas) as soon as sponsorship is approved. So that file should be there now. I now that Caracas can take a long time. My husband and I are both...
