Most people don't get notification from CIC that their applications have been received or are in process. The only communication you get Is the confirmation that you've been approved as a sponsor, and that message had the numbers in it. That's why is recommended you send yourapplication by registered post - it's often the only confirmation you have!

Now wait patiently for about 80 days or so. You know it was delivered by FEDEX.

Thankyou - looking forward to stage 2 to go through now.
I had not heard anything from CIC until yesturday!!! I knew my paperwork arrived as i sent it recorded delivery with UPS.

Just hold in there, I was the same started to worry about mine 2/3 weeks after sent.

Thanks everyone for your replies . My mind is such a muddle after pulling all that info together that I couldn't remember exactly what to expect! Good luck to everyone during this nail-biting time!

Wanted to send a quick update. Finally got the Sponsor Approval E-mail today. 118 days via Ottawa Pilot. What a huge relief! Here's hoping London are quicker for us than Canada was..

Dear All,

As you know my wife has her spousal apporval letter (27th June) and we are now awaiting london visa office to approve my PR - I cannot wait this long, so my question to you guys here is;

can i fly over to canada right now and start living there as of tommrow - is there any implications of doing so apart from i cannot work? Can i go on the basis that my wife has been approved as a sponser? But then again what if for some unknown reason I dont get my PR from London?

Any feedback will be much appercaited.

get a return ticket because some airlines can be funny about 1 way tickets if you do not have a visa in place but you shouldnt have any problems with immigration at the canada end.

So if you get your PP request...can you actually fly to Canada House and do it over the counter for your flagpole visit? (an extended visit with Air Miles i need to use )

Hubby's permanent residence application has been "in process" at the London embassy since Thursday, August 23rd. I'm waiting on tenterhooks, when will it be approved?!

My COPR arrived this week!! For anyone interested my timeline is this:
Application received by CPC-M - Feb 20th
Sponsor approval - May 9th
RIght to permanent residence fee requested - July 25th
COPR recieved - August 29th

I'm going to try and land at the CIC office in Calgary since I have a valid work permit and my COPR is good til December, plus at 7 months pregnant I don't overly fancy a 4 hour drive to the border!

Thanks to everyone on here, I never had to ask any questions as they had all already been answered, but I found all the information very useful

Good luck to everyone still waiting
