Can you post the e-mail address(es) you got mail from?
I received mine from the same place as innosense: CIC-Email-Communications-CPCM <CPCM-EXTCOM@cic.gc.ca>
It does say 'do not reply to this mail', and luckily it didnt go to my junk mail!

Congrats! Chart updated. CIC still following the trend of preferences for commonwealth countries (London, Australia) and those applying from US (thru Ottawa).
Thank you for updating the chart! One more thing - my husbands medicals were done in June I believe! i can find the exact date for you. Also, it appears that though our visa office is London, they will be processing the file in Mississauga - not sure its relevant for this spreadsheet though? Also not sure if you want to note we had additional docs requested (Sched A and marriage cert).

Thanks!

Bit of good news ish.

I got an email from CIC this morning. I got asked for a new IMM5406 form, I think I sent this as an N/A form but reading it again now I should have filled it in. Feel luck CIC didn't return the application. They also asked for a marriage certificate since i sent a letter saying i will send it once it arrives.

Interestingly they didn't ask me for an updated IMM1344 even though I sent the old one. Unless they will ask my Sponsor.

I got my UCI number along with my application number :) (The good news)

I've filled out the form and just sent it via fedex from the UK hopefully they will receive the forms tomorrow. *Fingers Crossed*

Thats really a good news :) ..They send to your sponsor email and ask to re-send updated IMM1344( if its needed ) ,considering on that form both signatures are necessary,yours and sponsors,maybe you can fill in the form,print,sign and mail it to your spouse, he can forward to CIC all updated apps..It is faster :)

Same thing happened to us. I swear I had read somewhere that this form didn't apply to our situation, but now I can't recall where... It seems odd that in the midst of such an intense process, even after checking and rechecking, we both made that (rather big) mistake!

Can you please let us know if you receive some form of confirmation receipt for the additional documents? My husband sent ours in the regular mail without tracking (I know...!) and now I'm a bit worried about it actually making it there.

Yea it does seem a bit weird that they now are requesting it. Me and my sponsor were the same, we were sure that we didn't need to fill in that form. I cant remember how much we checked our forms. I think I know the wordings of the top of my head. I guess we can be partly happy they didn't send it back. I will let you know if we receive anything. Did you get a UCI or an application number? I guess you could always ring up and ask.

Well my sponsor was in England a little while a go so we both have a copy of that form just in case they requested either of us could send it but I didn't see them requesting another form. But its filled in and sent :) Which is the main thing. Can only hope they quickly approve it now.

Yes, I got a UCI and application number, which is the one good thing about the whole ordeal! I will ring them to check they got it if I don't receive an update within a week or two (we are still well under the 55 days processing times for SA, so no rush). I just hate calling CIC: I haven't mastered their automated system yet and end up spending way too much time on the phone before I can actually speak to a human! ;)

We just got our Sponsorship Approval by email. Says that:

"You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) has been forwarded to a visa office abroad for further processing."

We submitted on Aug 21 with the latest forms so there were no requests to redo anything. Says that our application has been forwarded to CPC Ottawa for further processing.

Good luck all :D
