Freighted a few times now around the world now unfortunately, and yes, it's not worth it for things available in Canada. However if you try to buy fair-trade wherever possible, the equation becomes a little more complex. Thanks for being concerned enough to mention it though!

Hello, I'd love to get a few recommendations for freight companies from folks who have moved their personal effects by sea/air freight, preferably in 2017/18. Thanks!

Hello! What did you end up doing w.r.t freight? Thanks

Ah, I hear LVO is as slow as NDVO, ugh. Anyway, congrats and good luck!

Good to hear! It shows some activity and hopefully an indication that DM is close. Which visa office was your file transferred to? If NDVO (New Delhi), could you state your timeline in this thread please...

Applicants who sent in their applications in October 2017 and have had their files transferred to New Delhi VO (most of them possibly in January 2018): Can we re-group in his thread to monitor future updates (eg: pre-arrival invitation, background check completion, etc.)? Speaking of [updates]...

That's a strange thing to hate the left. They're pretty much the primary reason why immigration is at least as fair as it is currently.

Have you checked the definition of "family member" w.r.t CIC? Go through the guide before filling and/or submitting your application. You'll avoid having it returned and lose time. Documents of parents and siblings of applicant are not required. Only applicant's spouse and children. And in this...

That's really strange. My suggestion would be for you to just go to whichever is closest to you (I didn't go to Fortis on principle because who charges a registration fee on top of the test package fee that's earning them like 400% profit already; it's ridiculous) and see what you're charged...

So strange. Why are they quoting higher on the phone than the package is? Maybe they're tired (I'm sure their pay sucks like it does for most low-level staff) and want to discourage applicants! :D But more likely is that they're quoting the potential full cost of all tests, some of which are...

If it helps anyone looking for the cost of the tests as of December 2017 in Bengaluru, India: Elbit: Rs. 3750 (Interestingly, on the phone they said it'd be Rs.5500... but at the venue was only charged Rs.1300 + Rs.2250 + Rs.200) Fortis: Rs. 5900 + Rs.250 Fortis Registration Fee (Inquired over...

Yeah, I assumed it was a glitch but wondered how prevalent it was since I haven't seen it mentioned all that much in my time here. BTW strangely enough ECAS changed to DM (for sponsor) in a day after AOR. And now sponsor received the approval email. Two others I tagged above, like you, haven't...

An update in case it helps others in this strange-ish situation. Finally an email was sent to the sponsor on the 18th. It was to notify us of sponsor approval.

Did you end up getting an answer to this? You shouldn't be printing it if you want to upload it via MyCIC. Just fill online and click the "validate" button. Then save and upload.

Had the same problem. Re-did the form by copy pasting the same data and the "validated" box in the form updated to "Yes". Posting in case it helps someone.

Good point @Alurra71! Had forgotten about that. Did not check the box. And yeah, I thought there'd be some contact before denying sponsor as well but haven't read much about it so wasn't sure. There should really be no reason to deny sponsor that we can see so not that worried about it but would...

@stke4130 and @LOHITHA I read that neither of your sponsors have received emails from CIC either. How did you receive word about Sponsor Approval in that case? I've mentioned this in the OP above but to summarize: ECAS states Decision Made so we're hoping it implies sponsorship approval (and not...

Hello, any other applicants with this strange occurrence? As the subject says there have been no emails sent to the sponsor. AOR, and then confirmation of MyCIC linking and an email about a message (medical request) sent to PA. ECAS says Decision Made for sponsor but still no word to the...

Okay, that helps, thanks. One more question: was yours an inland application (or outland but with your partner living in Canada during processing)?

Sorry @canuser, I'd forgotten about a recent change in the requirements. The guide says: Either way though, the cumulative stay is only ever per country. This is the example in the cic instructions:
