The Cons (neo Nazi dictators) will be gone next election. Good riddance

We'll be landing on April 30th if you want to change us on the spreadsheet, just in case you don't see me on here very much anymore!!

Well its hard to say exactly how much longer it will take, since you've had some other obstacles to overcome, but if this is the last of the information they require, then you're likely getting close. It does take 6-8 weeks for the embassy to receive the police check, but once they get that and...

He's married to you. Dependent children only apply to children that YOU AND HE might have together. His parents don't need medicals or police checks since they are not being sponsored, they just need to be listed on the form.

Hi and welcome Any documents that are not in English or French, need to be translated, and the translations and originals both notarized. They don't need to be apostled. Your application has to be submitted as a complete package to Mississauga. Don't send anything to the Embassy in...

In this case, canadasoon2013 won't be able to submit a police certificate from Germany yet because he hasn't been there for 6 months yet. But I can guarantee that CIC will ask for it once he has been there for that length of time. So for now, the application should go in without that...

Hmmm...quiet in here again!

Congrats tecarf! Awesome news!

Hi and welcome to the forum First of all, CIC doesn't send people to spy on applicants. It just doesn't happen. The fact that you're in Germany shouldn't affect your application, but you need to inform CIC that you are there, explaining the circumstances, that your contact information in...

Can't help you with that, but here's what I would do. As soon as you order the fbi report, send the receipt or confirmation to Bogota with a note saying that the report has been ordered, but it could take up to 16-18 weeks. That should be acceptable to the Visa Office.

I shouldn't be a problem. I've been living in Colombia for over 2 years with my wife, and I don't have a home or a job in Canada, just a bit of savings and letters from family, and we were approved no problems. You should be fine

For us, it was about 2 months after.

Welcome to the forum! Thats pretty quick between Sponsorship approval and AOR from Bogota!! Bogota seems to be on a roll lately, so hopefully they keep up the pace for those still waiting! As long as your case is straightforward, you should be processed in 10 months or less! We were...

Since your application is already on its way, I agree with tecarf. Just wait until you receive your AOR from Mississauga, and then you can make a judgement on when to get the medical done, unless Bogota requests it first...usually when the visa office requests documents, they give you 60 days...

Once they issue the visa, it is valid until your medical exam expires. I can't remember if you've already done your medical or not, but if your process takes more than the 1 year that the medical is valid for, then they may ask you to re-do the medical. We did our medical halfway through the...

No, there isn't a Bogota Spreadsheet...but there seems to be lots of spreadsheets for the specific month you send in your app...you can also join the Trackitt website. It works similar to a spreadsheet so you can see timelines and processing times there

You won't receive any confirmation that they have received the application until a visa officer opens it and starts processing it. Also note that some visa officers will send out an AOR, Acknowledgement of Receipt, and others don't. Therefore, you may not hear anything from Mississauga until...

Good Luck! I'm sure everything will go smoothly for you. Just to let you know, our processing time in Bogota was only 7 months, so as long as you have a straightforward application and you haven't missed anything, you should be process under the 17 months processing time that they list on the...

We paid ours up front with the application. If you wait until it is requested, it could delay your application several weeks while the payment, which gets processed in Mississauga, gets forwarded to the Visa Office. If for some reason your application is denied, CIC will refund this payment...

Hey Everyone! Is there supposed to be a picture on the counterfoil in the passport? We just got my wife's passport back with the visa in it, but no picture on the counterfoil.....
