I just got an email requesting passport photos for my wife before a Visa can be issued. Does this mean that we're in the clear and this is the final steps before she can come over? When I check ECAS it says decision made for both sections but I haven't gotten an email or letter saying if the application was accepted or rejected.

I am currently in Vietnam with my wife at the moment and they want the photos to be sent in within 30 days of receiving the email. Also does this mean we won't have to go to an interview or could there possibly be more that we are required to do after this? Thanks.

From what I've seen it seems that a passport request equals approval :) congrats!!!!
When did you first apply??

Application received oct 12 and received an email nov 3. I'm just wondering once I'm approved as a sponsor will the application be sent to the relevant place in the country I'm applying from or does it remain in Mississauga?
TIA :)

Thanks. The request came rather sudden so i didnt know what to expect and it seemed to skip several steps from what to expect according to the first post. I submitted our application on june it was received in july and it had been in process in silence ever since until now.

Hello! I got aor two days ago, and was able to link to mycic then. I am now able to link to ecas with my info, principal applicant, but can't link for my partner, the sponsor. Has any else experienced this. On my account I only see my I formation, on his account would I be able to see when we get SA?

Thanks!!! Hoping for speedy processing for everyone :)

Dear thank you for your response,

Yes now I know that I need to send two photos of the sponsored
but it does say photos of each family member too? what that mean does this apply to me as a Canadian sponsor and my two Canadian children too?
Thank you for your reply

Our app was recieved on oct 14
No email yet but the x was dropped infront of the F
When your application number changes from the XF000 to F000, you can take that as your AOR1. When ours did, we got the official AOR email the day after. If you don't get an email soon, call them to make sure they have the right email on file. On my September thread, we've seen so many different scenarios of why people didn't get email, even though they have a permanent application number (F000). Also, our AOR came to my husband's email (applicant), but was addressed to me (sponsor). So also check every email you provided on your application, regardless of who's it is. Good luck :)

How are you able to log in to MyCIC before receiving the AOR1 in email? What are you using as the identification type? I've tried using our receipt number from the fees paid but it does't work. Thanks for your help!

Dears I am seeking any information regarding check list and photo requirements for my out land spousal sponsorship
I did complete the the entire sponsorship package and I am just about to ship them via DHL Sunday Nov 06 2016

But Prior to that I have a couple of questions below:

1- I made two copies of the check list IMM 5491 form and ticked the items that relates to the sponsor in sponsor package and ticked the items in sponsored IMM 5491 form in sponsored package, is this how I should be doing it?

2- They did ask for two photos of the sponsored and each family member in the region specific for Iraq . I did only include two photos of the sponsored, is this how it should be done?
since me as a sponsor and our two children are holders of Canadian Citizen ships and passports.

Any support would highly be appreciated
:D

On MyCIC you just need information like names, date of birth, place of birth etc.. I was able to link on MyCIC about a week before AOR1, then ECAS took a bit longer, and I used application number.
