Hi Stuart, my wife works in a school and today was her last day, she gave notice a couple of months ago (taking a chance she would accepted this summer). And your spelling of your name is the correct Scottish spelling as far as i'm concerned. Enjoy Canada when you get here, just before the Fall (as the locals say).

Hurlabrick

Congratulations all! I will do the updates after Canada day as I am on a roadtrip and limited to smart devices!

Stuart Adamson

Certainly will - the information and assistance from everyone here has been invaluable in preparing / submitting / following my application - huge thanks to Hurlabrick, Siouxie et al.

Hi Hurlabrick, Siouxie my wife has received her paperwork this morning but its stamped "Not Valid For Travel" across it, is this normal?, will new paperwork come without the stamp?.

Hurlabrick

Suggest you have a read of the spousal sponsorship wiki where this is mentioned.

It is perfectly normal and every CoPR has it on. All they mean is that you cant use the CoPR alone to fly or cross borders, you still need a passport!

Hi Hurlabrick, yeah it dawned on me as my wife called me, it just means she can't use it as a travel document. Duh!!!! too early for thinking

Hurlabrick

yes thats exactly what it means. It also goes on to talk about an IMM form or electronic counterfoil. Again this is only words and is also explained in the wiki

Hi Hurlabrick, you were pretty accurate with your timeline, approx 8 months, Oct 2017 to Jun 2018. Hope this helps give an idea to others waiting what to expect (London processing time). Thanks again and enjoy the Canada weekend, its gonna be a scorcher :-D
