Congratulations to everyone! A quick note to anyone doing their landing soon- bring a copy of the SA (Sponsor Approval) since the border guards sometimes ask you for it. And they might do a quick interview right there and then! Stuff about your sponsor- where they work, where you both will...

Congratulations!!

Thanks! Yes, it's weird they didn't contact our legal representative- who is supposed to receive all communications. I guess Vienna just decided to directly send the copr to the main applicant. My husband just returned from work one day and found the 'missed delivery' door tag from Vienna...

Also, can someone help me update: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LAzbar2H01x8U78J_mL5LcMsMCT2_HN9bm5s5Y3gh-k/edit?pli=1#gid=0

Hi all Fellow June 2015 applicants, I'm so happy to share that my husband got his COPR by letter mail at his local European address last week. We got Vienna VO and had resigned ourselves to a very long wait, so this quick DM and COPR is very unexpected indeed! ;D Also a note to all visa-exempt...

Hi All, I'm happy to share my husband got the COPR by snail mail last week. It was totally unexpected as we were sure there would be an interview. And it also didn't occur to us that since he is from a visa-exempt country there would be no passport request. Both of us are still in happy shock...

Hi LLAngel Let us know how it goes once you receive your passport back. We all hope for the best answer possible - a nice shiny PR visa on the inside and / or a cOPR!

God, I sincerely hope so.....I guess it's too early to celebrate, but I'm also keeping fingers crossed for all of us. Thanks for the update Maartenvg! Good luck to everyone, and pls pray that the speedy DM means a positive decision. I'll update over here as soon as I receive any communication...

Hello All, Did anyone else see a change in their ecas today?? Mine changed to 'Decision Made' for the applicant :O but no communication from CIC at all (yet). They only started processing in VO on Aug 13 so it's way too early .... this is really making me worried!

Thank you for sharing :) My husband's processing in Vienna started on Aug 13, so we're also waiting. Looking at CIC website with a Vienna processing time of 16 months gives me nightmares every time! I really hope it wouldn't be so long- I want him here too :-D Good luck to you both. cheers!

Can you share what additional docs they asked you for? I figured Vie asks for everything upfront. We're not expecting any additional docs requests, but you never know!

What extra docs did they ask you for?

I'd like to enter my info on the spreadsheet. How does one open this in edit mode? It's not letting me enter anything right now...thx!

I'm very happy for both of you that the interview went well. Just some more time for you now. All the best! :)

Hi again Maartenvg :D good they updated your ECAS. Surprised they didn't do it before. Our timelines are almost the same, and my husband's always showed 'medicals received' as soon as his status changed to "in process". Quite weird. This whole waiting process is so long. Sigh.

I might be able to help answer your questions: - There is no official requirement from Vienna VO to submit your medical results upfront. However, it's recommended that you do it 1-2 days before submitting your application and providing proof-receipt as part of the application. This will reduce...

Haha- same with us too @ 6 hour difference. I expect it will be same with me when his time comes :-D good luck again!

Hi Mirjana, wow, that's a very quick time line for the Vienna visa office! Me and the hubby are not expecting anything so soon coming through from Vienna. Would you share your interview experience with us once it's done? Any guidance will be welcomed :) Good luck to you and yours!

Yep, phone bills of previous 6 months showing talk times between your number and your partners should be sufficient.

For everyone on this thread - a good lawyer in Toronto will cost between CAD 3300 and CAD 4000. Anything below that and you're getting into the "seedy" territory. Telling you by experience. The low-cost lawyers treat you terribly once they realize yours is a "straightforward" case...
