I have the same letter, and our visa office is Ankara. And I do have to pay the same $ 490.00. We are having interview in May as well, but I wont be there because it's way too expensive to travel for me.
My question to you, when did you start the sponsorship application?
Myself I did the following month after we got married.

Just to confirm - did you already pay the full $1040 or only the $550? If you paid in full just bring the receipt along with you.

If you only need to pay the $490, then follow this link, pay and print off a receipt. Make sure to save a copy of the receipt on your computer:

Hope this helps!

Hello I’m new to see this thread, it’s extremely helpful. I’m going to submit my file tomorrow for spousal visa, my question may be silly , but should I make a copy of all the documents that I’m submitting , in case they call my husband for interview and he doesn’t have any info on him.

Yes. It’s always best to make a copy for your records

Sometimes silly questions come with smart answers. No worries. Yes - make copies of everything. It's what I did.

I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada with my two children (who are Canadian) we sent off our spousal sponsorship application whilst in England back in September and CIC lost the application, they have since apologized for this mishap. Since then we have moved back to Canada but my husband is still in England waiting on his application to be approved, CIC Mississauga received this on the 23rd of Jan, medical, police report provided on the 2nd April, medical has passed on CIC website and I am just looking for some information as to time scales. My husband applied for a working visa from England also and we are just not getting any feed back. Any help would be appreciative?? Thank you in advance

Typically outland is around 12 months from the time the application is received by IRCC.

Thank you for responding, will that be 13 months from when they first received the application (but lost it) or from the date they have put down on the update page which is January? They have confirmed in writing that they misplaced the application and apologiesed but this is where I am
