Hey NT2001, excellent idea, I like it very much, I have a suggestion for you to have a really successful and organized thread, we can considered it as an immigration statistic based on real experience, here is what I was thinking about, each one will post his timeline as followed:
Consulate name:
Visa: Spouse, child, parent, skilled worker…
Outland or Inland:
Application sent to CIC Mississauga:
Application received in CIC Mississauga:
Sponsorship approved:
Sent to local Office:
AOR:
Local office start processing:
Additional document sent:
Interview:
Passport request:
Passport stamped:
Advice based on my personal experience:
Advices to do:
Advices not to do:
Landing experience:
I guess like this we will have a very useful and organized thread, that we can relay on, of course other people can add to the list above.
Good luck
