LandC

Sorry if i wasn't clear i was trying to emphasize that on ECAS our application information isn't tied together.

Anyone had any new news? Im still waiting to hear if my application has actually reached the London office. Thought i might have heard by now, but i guess not (hope they dont loose it .... eeeek)

I am really hoping to be going by July, but i dont think it will happen, but hopefully it will i kinda feel like i will an there must be a reason for that.

Nothing new here, i'm trying not to look every 5mins. A person i have been talking to from another website found out yesterday that an email from London went to junk mail folder which requested PR fee. Payed everything upfront as well as sending off medical before the application so there wouldn't be any hold up. Just about to hit our 4 months since Mississauga, 3 months since it reached London.

Trackitt website doesn't show any movement on any applications for the last few months so hoping they will make a push to get more done soon.

My partner got an email PPR this morning! 70 days from the date of receipt in Mississauga. Ecas still says in progress though - I'm guessing it won't be updated until Monday/Tuesday. I am so excited, I actually cried happy tears in the shower this morning! It's all so overwhelming.. we've been living apart since August of last year

Good luck to everyone.. hopefully this signals that they are still capable of getting these applications done quickly, and hopefully we will see more approvals shortly!

Thats awesome news. Congrats.

I totally know how you feel, ever since me and my husband met (2007) we have been apart (seeing eachother every 3 months ish), apart from last summer when we spent 4 months together 247 at a fish lodge in the middle of no where. I cant wait to hear, (good news) im sure i will cry for days afterwards.

Congrats again and i hope its not too long for me. x

any other spousal updates as of late?

Nope not heard anything still now since December the 16th. Am pretty much resigned to waiting till June the 16th and then apparently if I email an enquiry to London they will actually answer as it will be the six month point. Or they may still ignore it who knows.

Am still in Canada, I requested to stay as a tourist and received a piece of paper giving me a year from Vegreville.

None of my family or friends from either me or my wife have been contacted regarding the application. I dunno maybe its sat on a desk somewhere maybe they are doing "extra" checks.

I did go to Guyana once for nearly five months but seeing as its less than six there is no need for any police forms. If they are going to Guyana though for information then they are going to find it difficult. It was back in 1998/9 and since then there have been several floods that made Katrina look minor. Any records would be paper based and the chances of something existing are slim. Factor in that it is a third world country and if thats the hold up then I am screwed. Seems a pretty poor reason to hold it up though.

Still count the blessings, I am in Canada with my wife and plenty to get on with (paint the house). Things will either get sorted soon or not. Nothing I can do to speed it up.

Good luck everyone!

Received PPR via email this morning!

Quicker than expected, london started processing april 22, but seemed like forever! Now just the wait for London to send it back but think I can manage that

Lethe

Wow that was quick Banther! I hope mine is as quick!

louiseeg

wow that is good.

just wondering, is there anyone that got their PR approved but only had like just over a week until they had to fly out.....do the take that into account when you take your passport and have people had theirs back in time, and also not back in time?????

Hi All!

I'am from Toronto Canada, I submitted my application for Spousal Sponsorship, May 24/2010, I received a letter stating that I am approved in Canada and it's being fwdd to office in London (letter received June 18).

My husband is in London on a student visa. Anyone have any idea if it would take longer b/c he is a student?

Oh and also my husband has done his medical already (always with the canadian high commission in london) and also done all his police clearences.

may_bettesworth

What the hell??
They recieved mine May 14th and i havent heard anything!

Grrrr

Oh congrats btw, 1 step complete!

LuvShy

Hey may_bettesworth

Did you try calling them? I tried since the day I submitted my application and they said I have to wait like something around 2 months, cuz they were still processing applications backlogged 2 months, and then all of a sudden I get a letter saying that its been processed and I qualify and being transfered to Londo Don't know what the heck is going on.

Hopefullly you get a response back soon....

Now its just waiting for my husband's processing in England...and unfortunately our case is not so straight fwd so it might take a bit longer

LandC

If hes not a UK citizen then it normally takes longer, as they will need to do a check on every country that he has lived in.

Some people have been processed with in 2 months of London receiving the application while other like myself have submitted in January and London received in February. I should point out as not to confuse you, I am a British citizen who hasn't lived outside of the UK, no trace on my police clearance, I personally can't think of any reason why they are taking so long but will soon reach the 6 month point at which i can contact London to find out what is going on.

Just got the news, London received my application on 16th June and they have my medicals. Crossed fingers for everyone!!!
