Hey Everyone,
I know I havent been on here at all recently, I have just been busy with work etc and don't get as much time as i'd like.
I can see there have been many updates in the last month or so. I have changed the settings on the spreadsheet so that anyone can edit so feel free to update your own details and add yourself.
Just in case, the login details are londonvisaoffice @ gmail.com, password is londonvr.
Good luck to everyone in the process and i'll check back from time to time to see how everyone is getting on.

Hey Stuabroad,

Some formulas were missing in the spreadsheet, so I added them, now it says that your sponsorship approval was reached in 92 days...
Welcome to the forum and good luck with stage 2 - your approval was received 7th August, that's correct? just checking as North Americans and Brits tend to put the dates in reverse order...

Cheers,
Sweden

I'm still awaiting for my wife's stage to to be processed and in the mean time we have booked tickets to move this November. We are moving from England and my question is this: what and who can I get medical insurance for my misses? Any recommedations? Thanks! :

hey Herjeet,

I'm looking into the same issue, as I am also moving before my PR.
You can check with your credit card, if you used it to buy your trip - mine covers quite a few things, so you might not need a full coverage.

I have also used in the past "world nomad" http://www.worldnomads.com/ and it was quite efficient... and you can choose to have for a few weeks and extend it before it expires, until your PR arrives ( and well - 3 months after that as I understood that newly arrived PR in Canada are not covered until 3 months after landing).

If you find something else, let me know!
thanks,
Sweden

Hello all,

just a quick question.

We received a UCI number from immigration the other day. When i want to log in and check our status, would i put my last name, D.O.B etc (as the person who is sponsoring) or do i log in with that number and my boyfriends information (person being sponsored)?

Thanks so much! Hope London remains quick at processing!!

You should put UCI + sponsor data, or file number ( starting with F) + applicant data. Unless the UCI has been given to you by London VO, in that case it is the UCI for the applicant!

remember - only last name, no first name etc, otherwise it won't work.
Good luck with your application,
Sweden

Hi Sweden,

So in the letter i got from CIC Mississauga to tell me i was approved as a sponsor, they gave me the UCI then. So i would put that number in and my info then? Its not finding my file for some reason, do you think it may be because i only received the number a few days ago?

Thanks so much for your help!

yes - it takes a while for ecas to be updated and it's not very reliable. Some applicants reported that they have to put in the info twice in a row to get it working, and it can take from 3 to 5 days ( or more) to be able to login...
UCI in the sponsor letter - then it is definitely with your own info as a sponsor. Give it a few days. It probably won't say much though! with the UCI when you log in you can see the sponsorship part ( which in your case should read "decision made" + "we have sent you a letter on that date regarding the application for PR for..."), and the applicant part, usually "application received" - once you click on that, you will after a few days see "application received + medical received"... my file has been sitting in London for a month now and nothing has changed - so ecas is a bit useless, even if it's nice to be able to log in once in a while...

Good luck for the waiting part - London is a fast VO though....
Have a great week end,
Sweden
