November 2018 Outland Applicants (Spousal Sponsorship)

[pasqguz]

Did anyone just returned their application with the missing document or signature. Or did you update your application with new signatures.

I had only returned what they asked me too and left my application as is. I followed their high lights. I returned it in November and did receive my AOR so I think you would be ok to do the same.

Did they give you an AOR before returning it to you?

My husband is asking in regards to what to expect for Biometrics when you go to VFS Global in London if anyone has gone recently? He is lurking on these forums so he wishes to know how long it will actually take, if they ask questions, etc? Was an appointment actually necessary? Was it very busy? Currently, the only availability booking slot is Feb 27/2019 however he's going on Friday anyway to take his chances.Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I paid biometrics fee 2 days before and got biometrics letter today. Also I got another email as well they are asking to pay "Rights of Permanent Residence" fee with in 30 day.
What is this can anyone explain? Also they issued me UCI number which is showing on GCKey account with my File number.

Guys, my application was sent Nov 5 and received on Nov 8. 2018. However, up till now, I got no mail no email. I don't know where can I check my application status since I neither have application number nor UCI.
Wondering did I miss something?

RPRF also known as landing fee is $490 which everyone has to pay before finalization of pr status..u can pay anytime before or during the processing but the earlier is better so that they can move on to next step rather than waiting on it..now that they askes for it pay it asap..

You can call them and ask about it. They will find a way to locate your application and provide you a temporary application number. The phone number is somewhere on this thread for sure....also you need to call within Canada I believe.

You’ve got a couple of options to check:

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

Input your sponsor’s details and the 10 character receipt number from your receipt. It’s a letter and nine digits. This will show if your application is being processed.

You can also try calling CIC on +1 888 242 2100, or if you’re outside of Canada, call +1 613 944 4000. There’s ways to call for free depending on your country.

Hi! We just did Biometrics in London this week. We showed up around 11am without an appointment. When you walk in there is a desk that you have to check in with. My partner showed them his Biometric Instruction letter and his passport, and then they printed off a slip of paper with a number on it and instructed him to go up to "level 2". We went up and waited for his number (on the slip of paper) to be called. When his number was called he went in the room, had finger prints taken and a photo which took about two minutes. Simple, and no questions asked! In total we waited around an hour, the office was quite busy. We wouldn't have done it any other way. No need for an appointment, just tell him to bring something to entertain himself while he waits
