will i get an email from embassy when they receive my application after sending it by CIC ?
Sometimes they send the acknowledgement, sometimes they don't. Usually if the visa office needs a document or they need to inform the Applicant of something, then they will contact. You can also check E-CAS (online status update) to see if the application went in process although this system is very slow to be updated too.

Hi. I am foreign worker in Canada and is about to have a baby in a few months. The father of my baby is also a foreign worker and is planning to apply for his PR under the CEC. He wants to include me and the baby in his application but he is married back home. There is no divorce in our country and annulment may take a lot of time.

Can he sponsor me and my baby even if he is married? We can prove that we have been together for over a year here in Canada. He and his wife have been separated for a long time. They have no kids and they never really lived together as couples.

I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks.

As I understand it, there shouldn't be a problem with this. Apply as common-law if you qualify and his being married will not matter.

If the sponsorship approval letter said that the file is being transferred to the visa office, then the visa office most likely have it by now.

In most cases, it can take up to a month to get there. Ours took a month to get from Ottawa to Los Angeles...

Hello all,

I have a question, so I have sent my finger prints almost 6 months ago to the Immigration section in Mexico City as I read on the website. Could anyone tell me if 6 months sounds about right? Will I get then receive the informes de datos registrales? or will they be sent directly to the visa office to which I have applied?

Thank you so much for your time!!

My husband has lived for a year in New Zealand about 10 years ago. He has no track of the exact date when he left or came back to Canada. His old passport disappeared. What should we do?

Thanks a lot!

@Morrigan
Just use the years (eg 1999-2000) and write a letter of explanation to the officer stating what you've said in the post. That will make things OK
