Thanks for that Gary!

Yay received my Sponsorship Approval today!!! Visa office is Sydney not London like I thought!! So exciting!!

anskuhh,
We are through Sydney too.. Ive heard great thing about the VO in Sydney, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly, im already in Canada so im hoping they will waive the interview; although it would be nice to see family and old friends again.... but its hardly practical right now since im no longer working :/ (stupid work visa expired lol)

heres hoping we both get through Sydney VO in 58 days like the lucky person on the sydney spreadsheet!!

Congrats to all with AOR and Sponsorship approvals!!

Looks like the visa office is pretty fast this month!
Raising my hopes to be reunited this year

Too early to get AOR for me, but will start checking mail often in a week from now

Good to have someone with the similar timeline! ;D
Yea I'm also hoping the interview will be waived, flights are sooooo expensive especially when I'm in Canada as a tourist for the next x months, yikes! I've been here for about 3 months already and getting really bored, I never thought I'd miss working lol.

Fingers crossed and keep us updated on your application process!

Congrats MSSmith, and I know what you mean about it being emotional. I felt like crying. So much time and research and energy invested. When I first looked at the guide and saw everything that we had to do I really didn't know how i was going to get through it by myself -with some help from my spouse of course. And knowing now that we can actually start the count down of my husband being in Canada with me and our kids is THE MOST emotional part!

The game is on! All these damn hoops were jumping through ... well get there!

Heres hoping an imm officer opens my file, was proposed to that morning and is feeling particularly loved up haha!

I received AOR at 12:18 AM on a Saturday in October, so normal business hours are out, too.

Oh God. More obsessing. But good to know someone is working 24/7 to get this done!
