I am very happy for you! God bless!
1 question tho. If you were told the application was sent to LA (because I was told the same thing), how do you know they processed it in Ottawa? Did you call during the process? When was the next time they contacted you after the Sponsorship Approval? (I was approved as a sponsor on July 15th, and since then I don't know anything. I received the letter in the regular mail rather than the email, and the letter said that the application was sent to LA. Should I call them and ask about the status?) Thank you!DTH said:
In my case, I wasn't told anything and I assumed I was in the 19 month queue in LA. But then I received an email from Ottowa out of the blue - and that was when they started processing it and the approval came from Ottowa in the mail a few weeks later. I don't know that you would be able to find out where yours actually is..... Good luck and best wishes.Thaliada said:
Hello,
My wife is sponsoring me for Canadian Immigration and we have filed an out land application. My wife is based in Toronto and I am based in Atlanta, Georgia, US. The application was filed on May, we have received the sponsorship approval in June and now the application is being processed in LA. My wife recently visited me on August 9 and will be staying with me in Atlanta till August 19th. However today at her residence in Toronto 2 people ( most likely from immigration but not sure as they were not in uniform) came to verify her address/records. Since my wife was not present at that time as she is with me her parents informed them that she is visiting me and shall be returning on August 19th. They questioned my wife's parents about her travel & were trying to make sure she will return. In the end they said they would come back after August 19th. Could this have a potential negative impact on the application? Since she has filed my application she has only visited me twice first time for 4 days and now for 9 days.She is a student and will be commencing her Master's from Fall 2013 for which she has been already admitted. Not sure if her non-presence today would create some problems? Please advise.

Strange that they came to the house, but does happen. I would advise your wife, if they return on the 19th, to ask for proof that they ARE indeed with immigration. A lot of scammers out there are doing some really dumb things to people. I don't think it would have a bad impact, it fact, it would show there is a relationship and she wants to be with you! (IF they were really immigration officers that is!)Gustcan said:
This is quite strange. I agree with Parker. Your wife should make sure they are immigration people. I've never heard of immigration officers to randomly visit people and verify their address. She was approved as a sponsor and that should be the end of step 1. I advise she should call CIC as soon as she returns and tell them what happened and ask their opinion on this as well. This doesn't seem normal. Keep us posted with what happens. I wish you all the best! Enjoy the time spent with your wife!Gustcan said:
