Im just wondering, from sending the application off and being signed to from actually hearing something, how long have people been waiting for? a month????

myns was signed for a few days ago, so am just interested to hear times of things...i know everyone is different but just interested for spousal application.

Thank you x

You need to tell people if you're going outland or inland as that will make a huge difference. Recently, outland people have been getting PR in about 2 months (recent forum member got it in 7 weeks!), but obviously outland takes far longer.

But if you can give more info, hopefully people will be able to help.

ah yeah i was just thinking about that, ha ha...

um outland applications...meaning parts sent to london.

Should be quick then, all being well.

As I said above, seems to about 2 months in total for the whole process at the mo, but if you do a search you'll find lots of previous threads with timelines on.

for you.

thank you.

also random question, i am popping out to canada for my husbands birthday for 3 weeks, i can still do that cant i, its only inland you have to stay in the country?

Yup, you can. Assuming you have your passport to travel with. Of course, if your passport is off getting it's visa put in, travelling internationally is going to be a bit of a problem.

Hi, please see our timeline below, it felt like forever, but looking back now, it's not really that long.

You'll be fine travelling anywhere during the process.

As for times, mine took 2 weeks to receive a letter from Mississauga telling me they'd approved sponsorship and will be sending the application to London for processing.

After that then next thing i had was an email requesting passports (just under 2 months later).

The entire process from posting the application to receiving the passport and visa inside took 3 months in total.

Today marks 2months on the dot from postig to miss n now.. i am now hoping for somethng soon , and this is the crucial moment as i am all over the place expecting something to come in as one person that we all sent our application on the same day and everything was transfered to london on the same day, has PR now on the 25th, so i am anxious big time but i am still with in the normal processing time..

good luck and take your mind off, easier said than done.. lol

Louiseg, ours was also signed for a couple of weeks ago in Mississauga so I guess we're on the same kind of time scales!
