Instead, try reading more on this forum and you'll see from others' timelines that it's quite normal (for the sponsorship part of the application at least)! To put your mind at ease, this forum is the right place :D we've all been there! Don't worry, unless you have a very unusual situation, an...

I second that! If you look on Trackitt or at several other ppl on the September and October threads, like myself, the outland process is a breeze! I think if you just explain you had a civil ceremony with only witnesses and then describe your plans to have 'real' weddings with family/friends in...

LOL, that's funny that we had such different experiences/impressions of the US and Sweden! Glad we both agree that Canada's a nice place to be ;D Stay warm, TLH

Yes, good news maxvol, I bet you are thrilled about starting your new life with your family in Canada! I'm sure you will love it and be as happy living there as you have hoped!

Oops, sorry about that!

I think there isn't enough info in the original post to understand - where the OP lives, why the card expired, whether the spouse and/or child are Canadian or not, etc. But I think, tofu, that most of us here are applying for PR for the first time, so I don't know if this is the best part of...

That is so funny to hear you say this Karlshammar! I lived in Sweden briefly and worked in lots of Scandinavian groups and the Swedes, Danes, and Norwegians admitted they were very similar... a good conversation for us to have over a Carlsberg one night in the Market, eh? ;D LOL, you're right...

Hi luis, that is a WILD story! I think you should either check some other threads on this board or re-post your question/situation with a different title (maybe "former refugee claimant - how to apply as family class?" or something) so then people people can comment on your wife's specific...

;D Hahaha, very funny! Let me guess: you're the New Yorker and your hubby's the bluenose? I hope NB is ready for your humour, but I for one LOVE it! We never heard of such a party either, and wondered about it for a while... then finally just wrote something like "It is not a tradition among...

I'm just curious (no real advice, sorry!) but it seem like a very tricky situation you've got LS777; Isn't it hard to qualify officially as "partners" of any kind if you are still legally married to other people? I dunno divorce procedures in various jurisdictions, but considering how quick it...

Hi Corofina, hi everyone! Hope you all have the great timeline the fall 2009 applicants seem to be having, it's a really stressful wait but it's worth it! Corofina, we're going to Ottawa and we'll join the Ottawa German language conversation club (so that I can learn and my husband won't...

WOW, that's great news!!! At long last! You can see in my profile the time for the Swiss post, probably a touch slower than Denmark (the Swiss post is certainly slower than France anyhow) but remember this time of year the postal service is bogged down so don't worry if it's slow. I'm sure your...

flowers are a great idea! Also amazon.ca and chapters.ca should have loads of gifts and they giftwrap stuff as well and include a card if you want (and they send the bill to you so she doesn't see the price), and you can rush order things. There are CDs and books and calendars and loads of...

Good news UK2TO, I reckon you won't be waiting much longer considering how quick the London office seems to be of late. We mailed the marriage cert on Monday the 7th, with the 3-day speedy service offered by the normal Swiss post. So I guess they received it, made the decision, and sent the...

PPR!!!! Whoop-whoop! Oh my friggin gawd, we got PPR in the mail today!!!! ;D Postmarked Dec 15. We're totally in shock! :o Figured it was just an AOR letter, nothing is updated in ecas about medicals or decision made or anything. Weren't expecting PPR until early or mid-Jan based on amsyul...

Yes, as we didn't send it by courier we had this same agony for nearly a month and we really were annoyed at our decision to use the mail... but don't worry! It's SO rare that a letter or package truly gets lost in the mail, it's probably safe and warm in a pile... near the top :-) Hang in...

Take a look at the timelines in the threads for Aug, Sept, and Oct, or on trackitt. The time between when the application arrived at CPC-M and the time for the sponsor approval letter to arrive in the post can take 3-4 weeks and has probably slowed down now because of the Christmas season. I...

I believe my husband's medical took several hours and consisted of many, many different checks including chest x-rays for tuberculosis. There is no harm in planning and researching ahead, because some of the official documents take a while to get, you can order them so that they will arrive...

Just an idea (though not trying to pick on you because we've all done it...) but really, try doing a search before you ask, you'll find your answer quicker - since this particular question is asked about once a week, you can find loads of info on other threads. You can also find a lot of the...

What you really mean to say is you saw the weather report and decided to wait until spring ;) Don't blame you! It seems that many people on this forum are CDN/US couples and the US spouse "visits" for 6-months and then either extends the visa or does a border run or whatever. Some do this to...
