Since we are all sponsoring a spouse, or are spouses being sponsored from somewhere else in the world, wouldn't it be cool if we all shared our favourite recipe from that country? Let's make an international cook book here in the forum ;D

There are plenty of Manila threads, but all in Tagalog, so I thought we need to start one in English for those of us who can't participate - for example, Canadian spouses of Filipinos, or applicants from Japan and other countries that are processed though Manila.

I was just checking my Ecas, and my address (I'm the Sponsor waiting for approval) changed to this (random address, I'm from BC): 1602 Frontenac Montreal, Quebec Canada H2K 4R1

Hi, As some of you who are in the April/May threads know already, CPC Mississauga has had my application for Spousal Sponsorship since April 30th - Over 4 months, 1/3 of a year. I have not heard an official word from them, not even an AOR. I have called the Call Center numerous times, with huge...

This was exactly a month ago today but I have been too busy! BC Girls' post reminded me to share my story too :-* I finished our Conjugal application after about 10 months of getting the right documentation together (and after 3 years of being apart and waiting for an annulment that was halted...

Hi, My partner's medical expires in June and we will get it re-done before it is requested to save any delays it might cause. I just submitted our app 20 days ago. I'm assuming we don't have to get his children's medicals redone because they are not accompanying him. Can somebody please confirm...
