    We have arrived in Canada! Actually we arrived on Jan 13th but it has been a very busy 10 days! We just wanted to share the experience at Toronto Pearson Airport in case anyone else lands here. We flew from London, UK to Toronto and had a 4-hour layover to complete the landing process and then...

    We went to the London VO. Our file was transferred on Sept 30th and we received the COPR on Nov 26th. Maybe try sending a message via webform to check on it?

    I've not done this but as the sponsor, I opted to NOT change my name to my husband's name throughout this process because I was worried it would confuse things. Once he arrives in Canada (next month) then I'll go get my name changed on my passport. CIC made a mess of a simple address change...

    Yes, I'd give them a call to check too. When I changed my address I checked eCAS and it only showed my home address which was changed correctly so I thought there was no problem...until we got the AOR2 and the address they had on the letter was my old address! When they finally did correct it...

    Yes, we were very fortunate my parents could get it to send back to us. My advice would be to check the address on the COPR letter that you get by email. If that shows your old address then I would contact them as soon as you see that to get it corrected to ensure they are clear about which...

    As an update, they DID send the COPR letter to my address in Canada, despite the fact that we have never told CIC that my husband was in Canada. It took the letter 13 days to get to Canada but if they had sent it to the correct address to my husband it would have likely been to us the next day...

    CIC seemed to lag behind. Once we received the COPR then our CIC account was updated for several things (like background check etc.) but that all happened at the same time and the progress bar changed to 100% complete and it says "We are done processing your application". We don't remember it...

    Yes it should. We received our COPR about 10 days after we saw "Decision Made" on ECAS.

    Excellent news! Have you received the actual COPR in the mail yet? How long did the letter take to get to you after you received the email? We received the COPR in email a week ago but still haven't received the actual copy in the mail yet. I really have a feeling they have sent this to the...

    @Missey Yep, like @patvicto said it is most likely going to be months yet. My husband passed his medical exam March 27th and we just received our COPR this week.

    I think that's promising. Maybe it'll go pretty quickly now that its near the end. Seems like that's how many have gone.

    FEBRUARY 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    We got the email today that our application is approved!!! We didn't get a PPR since my husband is from a visa-exempt country and the COPR is in the mail. Our fingers are crossed the letter is going to the right address as they have my address in Canada on the email we got but eCAS shows his...

    Well, this certainly isn't good that you have to wait that long or spend all that money to come to the UK for an interview. :-( On your earlier message, you mentioned needing to get fingerprints from the RCMP. I guess I'm confused why you would need additional fingerprints because I thought...

    An 'area trip'? Does that mean they are coming to you? 6-12 months seems like a lot. Have you tried calling IRCC to see if they can give you any other information?

    @Adeena Agree with @patvicto that you need to send these types of things for proof. We included a few screenshots of Skype chats in our original application but we also included things like photos of us over the years (including with other members of each of our families), scanned copies of...
