I can't believe it!! After sending in our application on 14 July 2014, then having to send in different forms six weeks later because they 'updated' them or something, now finally after 8 months, we have just received sponsorship approval. Wow what a wait! Now my application has been sent to...

That sounds like it could be right kiwi123. It's confusing because I am here living with my partner in Canada, so I filled in a 5285 but then they wanted 5490 which is considered living outside Canada, so technically it mixes me up, even though I'm actually still on a tourist visa. Anyway, still...

I sent my application in 14 July, they requested a new form (a ridiculous waste of time) in late Aug which they received on 29 Aug. I haven't heard anything since and cannot log onto ECAS to check up on my status because it doesn't seem to know me or something. Ugh, it's hard to do anything...

I received an email today (well my sponsor did) saying that my application is incomplete. I'm so upset because the form they say I need to fill out (IMM5490 Sponsored Spouse/Partner Questionnaire) asks for exactly all the same information I already filled out on (IMM5285E Spouse/Common Law...

Yes indeed. To answer the question about the medicals, yes I had them done and sent in everything all at once. I figured why run the risk of any hold ups. Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on any more news. Meanwhile, here's hoping everyone gets something too!

Yesterday I received an AOR via email. It's been 4 weeks since I sent in my application, so at least now I know they have received it. Just have to wait for it to be processed. :)

I too, am a July applicant. It arrived there today apparently, so now the wait begins. I am Australian with Canadian partner.

Ok thank you so much for your help. :)

OK thanks so much for your help.

Ok I see but I will be applying outbound though, is that different?

Hi there everyone. I have been looking for an answer through these forums but could not find one that helps me. My question is, after sending an application for PR under family sponsorship, how long do you have to wait until you get a work permit? Also, do you have to apply for a work permit...

Can I ask a question regarding the photos; is it ok to send in a CD disc or USB stick with digital photos for them to view on their computer? OR Is is better to print them and send in hard copies of photos?

Oh ok thank you so very much for all of your help and advice :)

Thanks so much for that helpful advice. I think I will take it! I will apply through Sydney as it seems so much quicker, and we are completely genuine and can prove that. I am still confused about work though. Do they send you a visa at some point so you can work? Or do you have to send in a...

Thanks so much Westie. I think I'm going to apply to Vigreville as I don't want to have to fly back to Sydney. So many things to consider! I appreciate all of your help. :)

Well thank you so very much for all that helpful information - much obliged!! :)

Thank you so very much for that helpful information. So do you know how long it takes to be able to work if you put Sydney as the office? I would not work until I get a permit.

Hello, if anyone could offer any help or direction with my question is very much appreciated. :) I will be in Canada on a visitor visa next year and I will apply for PR through family class. My common law partner is Canadian and will sponsor me (I am Australian). My question is which visa office...
