Hi All, We sent in our application on June 26th, 2008 for me to sponsor my husband (we both live in UK). We since have left UK to travel around South East Asia and are currently in Malaysia. We have just received letter from Visa Office in London to send my husband's passport and photos to get...

Hi Emp, thanks for the reply. the website you gave is great! too bad we are not in Canada, we are in the UK. maybe it is worth getting it done just in case? I'm not sure.... London said they will carry out their own checks... and my partner is not dodgy or criminal... I wonder if I should take...

Hello DC, Can I just ask if you have applied through the sponsored family member route? because if that is what you've applied for then you should have sent your application to Mississuaga, not Alberta! Well, at least thats what I did and what most people did on this forum as well. How are...

Hi Thirstydeer thanks for your reply. just wondering, how could I check my status without the identification number? I won't know it until I get a letter from them saying they have approved/rejected my sponsorship application would I? also, when you said they sent it to her, do you mean they...
