Spreadsheet updated anglogerman. This is a common request so if I were you I would send it to Ottawa. Something in the back of my head is saying that the COPR is issued from the Ottawa office so it will probably be quicker, especially as mailing to and from Ottawa will be quicker than going to the UK.

Hi Andrewbrit,

Spreadsheet info for ourselves is spot on, no riding off into the sunset just yet, we have to land by 03 March 2016 but don't intend to make the permanent move until summer (hopefully) so I will still be lurking around on the forum somewhere.

All the best with your application I really hope that you get some good news soon.

Thanks Canadabound1980, a bit longer than expected for sponsor approval, hoping stage 2 is quick for you!

Hello Admins,

It's been a while since I checked the ECAS and today, there is an update!. It shows "Decision made". Please update the timeline as of today's date. Waiting for letter from CIC.


Thanks,
Vinem

Congratulations, spreadsheet updated.

Can you check the spreadsheet and let us know if we have everything correct? (Location, any requests from CIC, etc).


Thanks!

Hi, I am not sure its right place to ask but don't know anyone that would have done that to ask.

We are thinking about moving in 2017 to Canada, and we are not sure when to apply for spousal sponsorship, I know it takes 1-2 years so thinking was to start asap after my exchange my passport, but I don’t know how long time do we have to move until its too late after we would be approved and all?

Thanks! Have to say we were quite shocked - expected a much longer wait based on the website and on your spreadsheet timelines.

Read the wiki articles about timelines for moving, it'll answer your question.

Hi,
We just received the same request from CIC for photos and passports to send to Ottawa for the finalization of my wife's application.
Quick question, it asks for photos/passports for all 'accompanying' family members. We are all in Canada now, for one. But do we need to submit passports and photos for myself and daughter who are both Canadian citizens?

No. Only submit the requested documents for applicants.

Spreadsheet updated.
