Our application arrived today November 19 in Sydney NS! Now we wait....

Hear it takes anywhere from 2 to 3 months for the to even say they got it? Is that true? When I did it the other way to the US it only took like a week to acknowledge they have it lol XD no biggie just curious. We know it's a waiting game.
Your application processing shouldn't take too long as you're applying from the US. However, the standard time to receive an acknowledgement at this time is about 49 days. I am hoping that we all get a response before the ending of December. Fingers Crossed...

Don't the waiting game before so this is fine! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I really hope we filled everything out correctly and gave them enough evidence to support our relationship and intent to move back to Canada :) Fingers crossed!

Hello everyone,

For sponsoring the spouse outland, is it part of the process to get the spousal biometrics?

I know that the applicant to apply for a study or work permit, or for permanent residence needs biometrics done at VAC locations. But how about the person living out of Canada who is sponsored by a Canadian citizen?

You can check using this from the cic website:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp

I am applying outland and included the biometrics with my application fee as it was determined that a UK citizen is required to do so for a spousal application. I'm not sure for all other countries though, so best to check using the tool above.

I checked the CIC website and it seems that everybody has to do that.

So guys when the applicant is noticed to do biometrics? As I am seeing the forum, it takes about 7-8 weeks to just announce that they receive our package of sponsorship!

I remember for visitor VISA as soon as you submit it online, you receive the biometric request within a day or two.

From what my girlfriend told me apparently it's a delay in processing the applications, so might take longer than that. I'm hoping to see an acknowledgment in the next 3 months
