Hey everyone! I finally landed this Friday, after all this suffering and craziness. Thank you all for your support and cheers to the beginning of a new life! I'll be sending my best vibes for those still waiting!

Hey, I ended up sending my passport to Brazil through a friend, and she will post it to the Consulate via SEDEX. Hope it works. Then I'll land in the CIC office here in Montreal, since I don't have a US visa and don't want to risk having problems in the future because I will be denied entry...

Yay! Congrats!!!

Got my PPR today too! :) Finally!

Hello Natalie, My experience is that you do not need a valid visa if you're applying inland. However, I think there are some things you should consider to make your process faster - or at least the wait to be with your hubby shorter - while maintaining a legal status at all times: 1. Applying...

Great! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I hope it'll go as fast for us who are still waiting! I have just received my CSQ in the mail, and in the E-CAS I can see that the SP VO has already received it too. Perhaps I'm traumatized, as my application was lost in CIC from when I sent it, in...

I wonder why ECAS exists at all, if it's not supposed to be updated... >:( So if you got your approval in January and only now your thing is "In Process", I shouldn't expect to receive anything before July :'( I see in other threads that some people get their whole process through in as...

Oh :( Thanks for answering! So if your stuff got there before mine and you still haven't heard from them, then my wait is going to be much longer than I thought. I was hopeful I could receive it by the end of this month (I know, I'm dreaming). Let's keep each other posted! I'm starting to...

Hey, Mlle_81, I saw you on the November 2011 thread and I guess we have similar timelines... to a certain extent. I filed my application early November, but it got lost (yes, lost! :() for more than 4 months in the CIC. My sponsorship approval only came on the 6th of March and I stil haven't...

fireflyers, you should be banished from this forum for disseminating false information and panic among the members. It's not AT ALL a basic requirement for anything whatsoever. I have read all the sponsorship guides carefully and I can say that what you are stating here is false information...

I don't know why, but I can't paste the link here.

Did you guys see the article on Huffington Post about Canada's plan to create a mandatory marriage period? Once this project is approved, people who divorce in less than two years after being sponsored will be deported. Of course no one here wants anybody's marriage to go wrong, but this is...

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement!

Thanks a lot! I had lost faith in it already, thought I would be one of those cases that take 2, 3 years to finish. They had told me they had lost my application, they they returned it saying I hadn't included a form (an unnecessary one), I sent the whole thing back and then I never heard from...

Hello everyone, After four months of suffering (precisely, 118 days), my husband finally received his sponsorship approval today (March 06). I feel relieved and am now hoping that my VO will move as fast as Manila or New Delhi! Could someone please update the spreadsheet? Congrats to...

Thank you SoC. I guess it was indeed the best news I could get out of the bad news. Even if we weren't ready to make such an expense, I have the feeling that going back to university will have been a good decision in the long run. I am already coming from another immigration project and I need...

I don't know if I can be of much help, but I am more or less in the same situation: while waiting for my sponsorship process, I came under a student visa and therefore do not apply as a resident (neither in 2011 or 2012 for now). I was going through the income tax documentation available at...

:) I thought everybody had forgotten me. Just yesterday I received my entire documentation back and a letter where they allege I did not send a form, whereas the instructions stated clearly that the form was not to be sent by applicants to Québec. I still took it as a piece of good news and...

Hello, I have a question: I applied outland in my home country (Brazil), but with my former adress in my residence country (France) and I haven't lived in my home country for many years. I am now in Canada with a student permit. Do I need to contact them in order to change my adress to my...
