re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Hi all,
I've been reading through some of the info in this thread and it's really helpful so thanks.
My husband and I just posted our application to Mississauga today so we're just at the start of the process. The relief of getting it sent off was short lived though as I've already realised a really stupid mistake we've made on the forms and wondering what effect it might have.
Basically on the first form of step 2 in the app process - IMM0008 - where it asks for the Immigration Office requested for processing your application i've just had a dawning realisation that we stupidly put Mississauga rather than London. My husband is British and we are both living there at the moment so all the info in our application should make it obvious that it's the London office we need for the second stage but i'm now panicking that they won't make that assumption for us and forward it on accordingly thus causing confusion/delays.
Frustratingly it does't seem like there's much we can do at this stage as we can't call CIC as we're outside Canada. Has anyone got any ideas/advice?

I'm assuming this was in the UK? Im currently in Canada and at this stage my MP here wouldnt be able to help me as my application is now in the London part. Not that he ever contacted me here anyway when I needed help.. name and shame: Colin Carrie.
Stuff I sent to London still hasnt got there. Was sent 29th June express, should of taken 3 days, its now the 9th. Canada Post resolution date for the investigation they are doing on it.... October 16th.
So im some how going to have to re-compile all the evidence I had and re-send.

Great news! After calling CIC this morning we were told we had been sponsor approved on 20th June! We just never received the email because of a software glitch (apparently). That is such a weight of our minds!

You are far from being the only ones to make this mistake. Hopefully they have figured out a way to work it out for you. If not then they will return it for proper completion.

Question for all those that have Flagpoled from work permit/IEC to Visitor status whilst waiting for PR..
What did you take with you/need to do this?
Did you need to provide proof of insurance?
Did you need proof of how to support yourself?
How did you prove you wernt going to be working/did they even ask this?
Can the officers see in the system how far along your PR app is?
Its annoying because im going to have to Flagpole as a visitor at the end of the month then probably go back a couple of weeks later to activate my PR.

the conditions clause

If you prefer to flagpole then I suggest taking the following
Proof of application for PR (we can only see application in process at POE)
Proof of funds
Insurance or health coverage.
After IEC has expired you would enter as a visitor.
You may or may not be asked for the above however you have to satisfy an officer that you wont work and will leave Canada.
Obviously having the PR application in will help.
