Congrats to everyone for all the exciting news!! I've been following this forum for a while now and it has been such a massive help during this process. We are about to send our application off this week so our immigration journey is just beginning, but this group gives me hope that everything will work out in the end :)

Hello and welcome,
What I think you should put only the kind of addresses requested, that mean with no PO Box.
My husband lived in a couple of places in his life and we never put everything, we only put his parents address.

hi everyone,

Another quick question on requesting ur notes.....which do u select privacy act or access info act?
Hi !
Access to Information Act and in the side of ELECTRONIC Notes, make sure you put a mark on Immigration File Permanent Residence, cause if you choose Sponsorship you will only obtain the info about the sponsorship already approved so its not that you want to know.

Jessie send in what they are asking for right away even if you think that they may have it already bc they are asking for a reason. Hopefully you can get it out to them very soon and well before they April 2015 deadline so that you can then get a quick PPR. Good luck!

Roxie you need to request them under access to info act and ensure that you ask for it under permanent and not sponsorship. Is it you or your spouse that is being sponsored? If it is not you the spouse needs to sign a consent which you attach to your request. Hope that helps.
