Here's to another week of patiently waiting.......

Does anyone have any good jokes? - No racism, sexism, discriminatory jokes etc etc.

Ill start off.....

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the sky, and tell me what you see." Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars." Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life." And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."

A quick question I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I have to make two updates to our application, the first being a change of address for my wife (applicant) as well as sending in a police clearance from Lebanon that we just received.

I know i can change my address online however i don't see a way to do this with my wifes address. Do i send the updated address and police clearance to the Manila office now instead of to Ontario? Can i email them the updated address or is it better mail it in?

Another question, when they send the file from Ontario to Manila do you typically see any updates in e-cas or do they send you an AOR via mail/email?

Manila embassy doesn't send AOR for the file transfer. Usually, the next thing you will hear from them will be Paspport request. My advice for you is call CIC for the change address and wait for CEM to ask for the lebanon police cert, which will usually be together with your PPR.

I know it's hard to reach CIC call center but many people said do it 8am EST first thing in the morning.
Good luck!! :)

Thanks a lot Messenger...I'm done with the photos now, will print them by Sunday need to buy photo paper for the photos.

We find it hard to get through the CIC for my husband's date of permanent residency as needed in the Sponsor Questionnaire.

Then we will have the certified true copies of our legal documents. Then we could have our medical so that I could encode all our forms online...

Thanks a lot to all of you for guiding us...
Hi. I am happy you are about the end of the preparation!
listen I had the same issue with the dates of my citizenship and Landing in Canada more than 30 years ago, but people told me here to put an approximate date. They at CIC will have all the info for you. But if you can afford to wait until you find the dates please do so!

May you have good luck

Hello everyone! i am glad to say that I got my sponsorship approval. Well, I didn't receive any letters or emails or whatsoever but my ecas changed from "application receive" to "decision made". It also says there that they sent the letter last april 2 re the decision. I texted Iay right away. haha

So I just spoke with an agent and he did confirm that I got approved as a sponsor. However I don't know when is the exact date of my SA, so I have to wait for the snail mail.

Sending goodvibes to everyone! :)

Hi Messenger...thank you so much...I'll just post a message here if I still have questions later...

By the way, what can you advise on what's the best way my son should do in order for us to make it easier for us to help or sponsor for him later as far as education and employment is concerned...We haven't decided what course he needs to take up, should it be 1 or 2 or 4 yrs or just a caregiver course because we don't know the manner and process of employment there.

Anybody who has a knowledge about this please help us...

Thanks again...

Messenger sir! I have a question. So am i still supposed to get an AoR from Manila VO? Then hopefully PPR? Submission of application, SA, then the applicants documents will be forwarded to the corresponding VO, and then what's next?
