I received my approval last wednesday and just sent the further document down to london so my visa is issued!!!! we only sent our docs in the Middle of May this year so it has been a quick turnaround

SchnookoLoly

That's awesome! I don't see you on the spreadsheet - could have sworn I added you... woud you mind sending your info?

-Date application received in Mississauga
-Whether you applied as Married or Common-Law
-Date of sponsor approval
-Which office is processing Phase 2 of your application (will say on your sponsor approval letter/email)
-Date(s) of any other requests you've had
-Whether or not the principal applicant is non-visa exempt
-Current location of the principal applicant- closest major city is fine if you don't want to be too specific!

bsp

cool do you want me to PM you the info?

SchnookoLoly

Either post it or PM it, whatever. Most just post.

just one weird request at stage one where they asked for my passport again without acknowledging our forms
im in Uk so I dont know what visa exempt is - sorry
Im based in Glasgow at present although heading to Calgary very shortly!!!!

OK have a look at your line, do I Have it all right? I thought you said you had another passport request more recently? Anyway, your line is there!

bsp

yeah thats all good mate. yeah the passport request was back at the end of July but im sure I asked about on here a bit later. It was a bit of a strange request and I got some info on it from someone on here. My passport was running out in July so I guess they were just double checking I had renewed it. the CIC actually just advised they didnt need it but took copies anyway so it may well have just been an admin error

SchnookoLoly

Ah yeah, they would be asking for it if it was expiring. Just sit tight!

Hello All! I sent my application to Mississauga on 22 September per the spreadsheet and it was signed for on 1 October. I've not had an acknowledgement. Is this standard? Something I must have read at some point made me think I'd receive an email.

This is standard you want get an email till SA, which is around two months from app being received. Have a closer look at the spreadsheet it's all there.
Mines arrived 29th Aug still no word but that's normal.

SchnookoLoly

Divvy is correct, you are unlikely to hear anything until SA. A few people awhile ago did receive an acknowledgement, but I haven't heard that in awhile, so don't expect to hear anything until you get your sponsor approval. Keeping an eye on the spreadsheet will help give you an idea of roughly when to expect it.

So my partner called CIC.

She was told the same nonsense; that there was a simple paperwork mix up and that her AoS letter would be sent out in the next few days(which they've said to me for over a month) and that everything was fine with our application.

What we DID manage to glean this time round was that apparently our application had been sent on to mississauga. The guy didn't sent it had been sent to London.

With that in mind, and an email already sent to mississauga, with no response so far, I do feel my MP is the best option now.

The paranoid part of me feels like our application is complete, I've been approved, but a clerical error has stopped them sending the necessary paperwork. I just wish someone would be more forthcoming with information
