I'm currently looking into getting this Visa, I should be applying after I have moved to Canada in January and then live with my girlfriend for a year whos Canadian.

I am Shocked to find out that some of you are Married yet you still cant stay in the same country as your partner, that just sounds crazy that they cant let you in the country under that.

Hopefully you will hear something this week. We are all waiting for you!

Just to let everyone know we have had a letter through this morning! I have missed one signature on the application forms so I have to refill it! I don't know exactly what yet as I just had a call off the missus! At least it's not a rejection!

Anyway, has this happened to others before? I'm looking at it as a good thing because if they were going to reject me they would have just done that instead of getting me to sign the one form i missed! Ami I right or just optimistic?

Also, does the original date of my application received still stand? Or will I have to get new police checks done now because it's over three months since they were completed?

Also, will I know have to wait another two months in line again? or do I jump up the queue as its just an alteration?

Thanks, Rod

Ooooh not sure, let's hope they just await your re-signed form and then continue. I wouldn't have thought it would put you at the back of the queue again. So I take it the letter was just about this rather than your first stage approval? WRT police checks, I don't know, thing is whether they will have the foresight to tell you now that they will need re-doing is another question! At least you know they have it, and I am sure you will hear again shortly that you have first stage approval. Fingers crossed.

I would think your place in queue woudl be the same, and they will just continue once they have what they require. That is my fear as well, that I forgot to sign something.

Ok, here is the scoop! I missed one signature on the IMM 5054 form to confirm I dont have any kids! Frustrating but there we go!

Have resent it, the letter came with a pre-addressed sticky label to go to one particular officer so I guess as soon as it turns up they will process the application as completed.

The letter was dates Nov. 16th, so it took just under two weeks to get a letter from Ontario to BC, which is pretty astonishing!!!

The letter also included a UCI number, can someone confirm that this means we can now check our status online?

yes you can with a uci number

From what I've read on here over the last couple of years worth of posts, it seems to be that they ask for corrections at the end of the process. I think I remember reading some people had been ask to resend or add something and then got approval right away. So fingers crossed!!!

Hello all - just wanted to mark my spot as we finally finished our paperwork this weekend and the courier has just been to collect it so that's it - it has now officially started it's journey to Mississauga!!

we got everything and completed it all correctly!

Good luck to anyone else going through the final stages of paperwork now and of course to everyone still waiting

Right, it is a great feeling when the paperwork is sent. Having said that, when we were doing the paperwork I felt like I was being productive....the waiting now is the tougher then I expected.

I can imagine! I have no patience at the best of times

You can't be far off receiving sponsorship approval tho? Hasn't that been taking around a month?

123me

Sponsorship approval right now is around 66 days. Well, that is when they look at your application. So for us, that will be in January, and with Christmas I think mid January. Right now CIC is working on application received by September the 16th.

lozzyblue

Ah ok - well, with Christmas etc to get through mid Jan will be here in no time and you will be one step closer!

123me

Right, and one step closer after many many years apart will be terrific.
