Well, I checked ecas on Wednesday and it did not say anything different then it had since May 18th. Just that documents had gone to london and medicals received. Just checked ecas now and it said decision made, so must have updated it yesterday. A.

COPR RECEIVED THIS MORNING!!!!!!! Think we were both shaking so much and am still all adrenaline and giddy. Good timing as we are all booked ready to go and house sold!!! Canada here we come!!!!

definitely. Our house is sold, the cat has her flight back to canada and we are due to leave the UK on September 14th and go via New York. Would be nice to know when we get there all is relatively sorted so we can just sail through customs and immigration, find jobs then find a place to live...

SchnookoLoly, YAY! and congrats. This is giving us more hope. We have sold the house, hubby has finished work and are looking to book a sailing to New York in September so would be great to get ours before we go and thought it might be tight-ish as were basing it on the average of 88 days.

I would not worry at all. we were worried so did all that and of course we are outland so wanted to provide enough info for everyone to understand our committment to Canada and moving there. I think if Dom had already had a chance to live in Canada as a PR our application would have been...

yeah that is what we did. It does get confusing as some info ends up either in mutliple places (like bank statments/marriage certs etc) but we just referenced to them (please see info provided for x) if it was needed to be shown in multiple areas. Like some things we put for my sponsorship...

Yes, our CAS status indicates that the medical has been received. I know the GP who did ours sent it up to London when Dom had the appointment and it was done just south of London, so maybe as it arrived several months before Mississauga acknoledged recipt of application that the moment it got...

Hi there! Glad to see we are not alone. I have had the same worries and frustrations being Canadian born, and with my spouse for 17 years, married for nearly 11 and having to jump through all the hoops. And of course trying to remember all the info of the years and find the documents. I...

Our interpretation of needing notorised copies of references on relationship was that it was for common law or conjugal relationships only. Our medical was done in advance of the application based on advice and our application when received in London updated on its being received immediately

Hi Caddboy. I have had the acknowledgement email and now sponsorship confrimation. We sent our applicaiton Feb 19th it was received 21st. first email was like this..... Subject Heading: Citizenship & Immigration Canada: Information about FXXXXXXXXX UCI: xxxxxxxx Application No...

I love Ottawa. I have not lived there for 11 years but I was born there, lived in the area until I was 5 and then went to University there before moving to the UK in 2001. I cannot do much in comparison to other cities except Winnipeg and maybe Calgary but with respect to actual cost, it has...

As a Canadian moving home, I feel Scotia is appaling. I have had to have an account with them since I got student loans back in 1996 and they have never been helpful or useful and now, even though I regulalry made all my payments, never defaulted on the loans (which I could have being aborad)...

Our application was sent on Februaury 19th, received Februaury 21st. We know this because we had it tracked. We did not received confirmation that they had received it until May 11th. Luckily the sponsorship as I assume was considered straight foward only took two days and as of this morning...

Just checked cic today and they have updated our status again. now shows that sponsorship is approved but has also changed Dom's status to application received and Medical received. FAST FAST FAST this way. hope we are in the small 20% that get approved quickly Andrea

Hi Pinklady, just been watching more than anything but thought you may like to add our stats. I am sponsor (wife) Application sent 19th Feb, 2012 Application received 21st Feb 2012 Confirmation of application received: 11th May, 2012 Sponsorship approved: May 16th, 2012 Awaiting transfer of...
