Timescale and Reply

[qtazngal]

Hello

Please I need advice.

My husband, 2 children and I are living in England. I have sent the application forms and necessary documents to CPC in Mississauga this passed February 2012 to sponsor my husband. According to the website, the timescale to decide if I am eligible to sponsor my husband is 90 days. I have also wrote to the Canadian Embassy in London and they informed me that as soon as CPC have decided if I am eligible, my application form will be sent to London and there they will decided to either grant or refused my husband's permanent residency.

My questions is: Who will write to me if I am eligible to sponsor my husband, will it be CPC or the Canadian Embassy in London. Its more than 90 days and I am a bit worried. No reply from any government offices.

Unfortunately, here in England the helpline numbers for the Canadian Embassy (Consulate) are all automated services and you cannot speak to a person.

Many thanks in advance

Hi...please don't be worried that timeline is not correct....most people are waiting over 100 days to hear from Mississauga....which is who you will hear from about your approval.....you may or may not get an acknowledgement of receipt email....that seems to be hit and miss.....I am a February 28th applicant and just received a week ago an AOR email and am still waiting for my approval....so just hang in there a little longer.....

Hi KJG

Many thanks to you but can you tell me what is an AOR sorry I dont know what that means?
I am February 7, 2012 applicant and have not received any email, should I also be getting and AOR? Sorry KJG just want to go home and be with my family? Been in England tooooo long now.

Thanks
Anna

Hi Anna: Sorry an AOR is an Acknowledgement of Receipt.....usually received by email. Did you supply an email address for correspondence? And if so, I would check your junk mail. There are still a few people in February....actually around your date who are still waiting to hear as well. But you could call and see what is happening since you are early February.

Hi KJG

Yes I have supplied them with my email address. Unfortunately, I've been deleting my junk mails coz most of them are real JUNK (maybe I should have looked properly).

I will call them later, as the timescale between countries are 5hours difference.

Many thanks to your reply. You have put me at ease and guided me. When I get intouch with them, I will update you.

Again, many many thanks .

No problem...fyi....my email did not go to junk but I was having fits when I called and she told me to check my junk mail because like you I delete everyday and don't pay much attention to it!!! Yes please let me know what happens.

Hi KJG and Bold9900

Update and advice needed again.

Got my brother in law in Canada to enquire now they are saying that to sponsor my spouse I should be a residing in Canada and not outside, but according to David Cohen lawyers in Canada, this was ok as I am returning and still Canadian Citizen along with my children.
Also dont understand, that if I was not eligible in the first place why they did not return my forms and refunded me my money and why in the application form I was asked if I was going to accompany my husband going back to Canada? Weird!!!???

Now I have to fill in use of representative form so my brother in law can act for me.

Do you guys know of any similar case that both husband and wife are outside Canada and sponsoring their spouse. As far as I know, this was ok.

Anybody, please need advice.

Thanks
Anna

 

[KJG]

yes you can live outside of Canada and be a sponsor....you will just have to prove your intent to move back to Canada and live here.....

Are you a citizen? Or is your husband? If so, there's no issue there. I think the person your brother-in-law was VERY confused! There's A LOT of people who are outside of Canada together and had no issues, maybe your brother in law needs to say "She's (or he) is a citizen of Canada, they are applying OUTLAND"

Hi Everybody

Thanks for replying.

Yes I am a Canadian Citizen with Canadian passport and also my children, 3 of us are dual citizens - Canadian and British. I hope he or the CPC person is only mistaken. But I still havent received my AOR or any answer unless it was in my junk mail and I have been deleting all of it (my fault). If I was sent an AOR and have deleted it my mistake, how can I get another confirmation unless I write to CPC and to the Canadian High Commission in London.
Boy this is stressing me out. All I want to do is go home!

Many thanks to you all.

Oh forgot to add FYI - i did supply informations and documents regarding intentions in returning to Canada such as RBS bank account details, letter from my family confirming where will be staying temporary and correspondence from schools where I intend to send my children and lastly emails from friends regarding my plans. I also did change my SIN number from my maiden name to my married name which I have not received.

Thanks again

Anna

I'm applying Outland from the UK and sponsoring my English husband. That seems like you have included the right info the CIC in Ontario are just really slow getting back to people. Try not to worry, I know it's easier said than done. Out of the blue I got an email confirming me as a sponsor. Try not to give up hope.

Hi

Thanks everybody.

At the moment, I wrote to CPC Mississauga and Canadian High Commission in London just enquiring just in case.

Thanks again all.

I applied to sponsor my hubby as well and both of us are outside Canada. You can sponsor your hubby from outside as long as you (the sponsor) are a Canadian Citizen and have intentions to move to Canada once complete. You must show proof of this.
