Thank you for the translation I greatly appreciate it. So in that case my son who was born in Pakistan but is not Pakistani and therefore is a foreign national does not have to complete a bay form or family registration certificate?Reflectoman said:
if you search by UCI # you will get the status of the person who sponsored the spouse...Shonagill said:

i really dont know why they issued two UCI #s.. thats weird . everyone gets only one UCI # when CPC - m approves the case...Shonagill said:
My file number start with F and even with file number I can't login. I can only login with the UCI number that I got it.sabii said:
With File number you should put Sponsored person name and DOB. Did you tried that ?Shonagill said:
I got ppr a month and a half before my first medical was about to expire. I was expecting a re-med not ppr. Wrongfully thought my process would reach the finish line really fast BUT they never returned my passport! My first med expired..i was asked to do another chest x-ray(furtherance they called it) which extended my medical validity to Sept 2013. After this 7+ months have passed haven't heard anything. Why don't you ask your MP what is going on? Your background checks would most probably be going on.khanb5 said:
Ok, I see, that makes much more sense now. I was perceiving it as my file, but you're right, It's actually the sponsored person's file. Thing is we have a file number and UCI. It does not log me in with a file number when I go to check it on their website to check progress. I log in with a UCI but using MY name and DOB. So does that mean, that UCI # is mine only? So I would leave that part blank where they ask for my husband's UCI number...and put in the file # instead (the one beginning with F)?Reflectoman said:you need to request it under the "access to information act" and pay the $5. the main difference between them is that the privacy act can only be used to request information on your own file, and the only canadian citizens or canadian PR can make these requests. Since your want information about your spouse's sponsorship application, that becomes a request for their file. Thus the acess to information request, and you will need to include the form signed by your spouse giving you consent to request information on their file. if you make a request for your file, then it will be the file for stage 1 in mississauga, and if you do a privacy act request for your spouse's file it will be refused.

the steps are pretty simple, you need to pay $5.00 via credit card on their online payment form, fill in the consent form (the new consent form as of january 2013 is only valid for one request, so if you do multiple requests you will need multiple consent forms), and then the request form. make sure to choose email only, that is the fastest processing time, and yet still can take upto 30 days. your request is for the electronic copies of an immigration file for permanent residence. include your file B or F file number, your spouse's UCI (not the sponsor's), and the location is CHC-Islamabad. if you don't have your spouse's UCI it can be left blank.
i would expect an initial review to have happened on your file this month or nearby, so if you order in April (ie. take a week to get the signed consent form from your spouse to make the request) you should expect to have some notes on your file. However the timeline isn't guaranteed, so it could happen that your request has nothing in it yet, and you would end up wasting the $5 for this request.
it is normal to not hear anything yet, you might hear something from them starting month 15 after file transfer. for the address change, i would suggest you login into ecas and make the case specific inquiry asking them to change your address or change it through ecas since it is the canadian address that you are changing. the embassy won't respond to your phone calls, and the email might just be returned asking you to make the change yourself.

but I can now see further into the process and keep actual track of what is happening with his file.! You can really just hope and sit tight I guess. Drives me nutsss sometimes though!
