What's next?

[chu2010]

Hi there

I'm from HK and my husband is Canadian Citizen. I've submited the application under the spouse in Canada to Vegreville office, here is the timeline:

Application received: Apr 20 2011
Letter from visa office asking for updating my work and address history: Jul 06 2011
Letter sent again: 18 Jul 2011
Letter from visa office saying that I meet the eligibility requirement and sponsorship is approved, asking for the Police Certificate from HK police: Mar 10 2012
Applied for the certificate from the HK police: Mar 19 2011

HK Police said if I have no criminal record, the certificate will be sent to the visa office within 4 weeks.

Could anyone let me know what's next? How long does it take to finalize my application? Can I leave Canada and return for holiday?

Much appreciated!!

Hi chu2010, you applied inland, right? If so, you're not supposed to leave Canada while the application is in process.

You may want to check the "Inland Application 2011" thread to see timeline, etc of similar cases:
