August 2012 Applicants Thread =)

[Sweden]

Yay, I was hoping a thread for this month would start up!

I did my Meds June 30 and received our police report a week prior. We sent our application July 31 and it was received August 1st.

I'm worried about having to redo my medicals too... especially since they were so expensive here but I just don't want to have to be delayed for too long. I'm wondering, the second office receives the medicals (in my case CPP-O), are they also just stored there somewhere? Do they put a time limit as to how long they will store them before they purge them for any reason? Do they purge it at some point? Is it possible that they say they can't find my meds once my file is transfered? I tracked my meds after they told me they sent them so I know they have been received so I wonder if they only store them for a limited amount of time....

I know my police report probably wont be valid by the time my file is transfered-- we used a channeler to complete the application and are planning on sending out my fingerprints to the FBI next month so that we receive the results back around the time our application is transfered since I am sure they will request for another one.

Hey Cheerio,

I think you should be fine for the medicals - they get stored somewhere and wait for your application to arrive, but in your case it's not much delay... to give you an example, my medicals were done beginning of February and the file arrived at the VO ( london in my case) mid july and they had no problem matching them to my file. There is no way to know (at least that I am aware of) if your medicals have been stored in the "right place", but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Once your file gets approved in CPC-M, it will be send to CPC-O (as it's your VO if I understood right), and once you can log in ecas (after sponsor approval), you can see after a few days a line that says "medicals have been received" - that how you know that the medicals have arrived and have been matched with your application. that part of the process doesn't seem much of a headache, so don't worry about it!

Depending on how long your application takes to be approved, you might not have to redo your medicals. Also - there is a new rule from CIC, IF the medicals are the only thing missing in your file, they can request for an extension to finalize the PR. You can read about it here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob423.asp

About Police record - I think they have to be less than 3 months by the time you send your application, so if that's your case it should be OK...

Good luck with your application,
Sweden

Dh and I have been killing ourselves laughing, spending our day searching through the 95,000 Skype instant messages to find extracts for Immigration Officer consumption. It's not x-rated but we both have quirky senses of humour so a lot of it just doesn't come across quite right :. Sending good vibes to everyone who is preparing their application. We're hoping to finish this week!!

We had tons of laughs going through our logs as well, for pretty much the same reasons. A lot of it I kept in there, maybe it'll make them laugh and it'll be less boring for them to read though so many pages haha Best of luck to you, I hope you can send off your app very soon =D

I just dropped my baby off to be mailed out tomorrow morning! I feel so empty now that I don't have PR to work on or think about for the next few months. I'll update you all when it is received in Mississauga

I just needed to share this feeling with people who just 'get' it. My Canadian friends don't have any idea what I'm talking about. :

Common-law sponsorship
VO: CPP-O

Hi There!

I submitted my application to CPC-Missisauga on August 8th 2012 for my husband to come to Canada. My Visa office will be Abu Dhabi once it's cleared from Mississauga.

I have a few questions and concerns however and I hope that you guys can give me some advice as I am a bit worried. I checked my application over
a million times before I sent it. BUT of course we are all humans and make mistakes. I realized after I had submitted the application that my mailing address
is actually wrong on the special note I have attached to my application to CPC-Missisauga, which is an overseas Dubai address and its incorrect and as well
as in the form (Agreement and Undertaking Form) IMM 1344....

I have gone through a very long time of getting all my documents together and have over 3 months of hard work getting everything required for our documents to be sent to Mississauga.

How do I go about notifying them of this change??? Can I simply send them an e-mail or fax?? but the problem is that they dont open the file I dont know till god knows when! Would getting my MP involved help???

I really don't want my documents being sent to the wrong address and losing all my documents would be very sad.

Also on the Agreement and Undertaking form IMM 1344,,, I have written by hand my alternative number: however did not indicate what type of number it was, as in cell, home or work..... does that mean that they will send my application back? and my fax number, I left it blank because I did not have one...


Please let me know guys how I would go about this obstacle...

Waiting on your suggestions....

Hi Munchkin,

Your address is wrong throughout the application? Or just on an additional cover page u added to the form? If it's just on the cover page I really wouldn't worry too much about it. As for contacting CIC-M and getting your MP involved, there's not really anything anyone can do with the package until it is sent to your visa office overseas (abu dhabi), so once u get sponsorship approval and your package is sent to abu dhabi then u can send an email and/or a fax and let them know the correct address, stating u accidentally wrote it incorrect.

As for the documents getting sent to the wrong address, I don't really know. Sometimes people get emails for the acknowledgement of receipt (if they even get one at all) and sponsorship approval, so hopefully that will happen for you as well. I guess there's no harm in calling the call centre in Mississauga, but I really don't think there's anything they can do to you until they have processes your papers and gotten it ready for abu dhabi... But it's worth a shot. I don't think your MP will do anything at all at this point... usually they are reserved for a few months into the process... some won't even help until you're past the posted processing time.

Leaving the fax number blank, they will definitely not send your application back for not having a fax number.... I bet majority of ppl don't have a fax number. They won't send the application back for that definitely. I have put "N/A" into the fax number spot, but I seriously don't think it will matter much at all. Don't let that worry you!

I think you're in the wrong section. This is for Family Class: Spousal Sponsorships. We are all sponsoring our spouses. You might want to check the Work visa application thread and post your question in there because we don't have those requirements to sponsor our spouses.
