Hi an welcome! This is a great thread to keep updated - but also frustrating when others move forwards and yours doesn't

Hope things move quickly for you now so you can be together soon!

Thanks Caleo and yes I can definatly see how it can be frustrating! It's good to see we have similar timelines. Just don't be getting PPR before me alright but seriously though good luck and I will be looking out for your posts

caleo

I had better get mine before you!!! haha. J2J had a timeline of a few days ahead of me in Mississauga, and they have already had PPR! soooo not fair! But as i have said before, at least our family is not separated because of it - it would be so much worse if we were!
I went through that in reverse 5 and a half years ago for hubby to come over to UK from canada - the separation and not knowing was awful!

I think the CIC had a purge on ecas for some reason this week - but at least it is nice to know the forms are not lost.......yet

Well its good to see that people around our timeline are getting PPR eh, even though it's not us it shows it's not totally unrealistic to expect something soon

The separation and not knowing is definitely really hard at the moment but everyday is another day closer to us being together. Short term pain, long term gain is how I see it and what keeps me going.

Anyone know how long it normally takes for the letter to arrive from CPC-M? We were told it was sent last Monday the 17th, and it's still not arrived!!

It took 3 weeks for me to get the letter (from date of approval) and that was to British Columbia.

Mine said decision made on the 10th november, but the letter they sent was dated 29th november so we only got it in december! Some people have had their letters within days, others weeks - no hard and fast rule

thanks guys, phew that's put my mind at ease a little! Wow, Caleo, that's a long time! It must have been v frustrating!
What happens in terms of them sending the application on to London - do they do that at the same time they send us the letter of approval? How do we know when it's arrived in London?

Mrs-G

PPR received! WOOOHOOOOOO!

caleo

Ours was updated this week to say received in london on 9th december and medicals received - but not heard anything else........

caleo

Excellent!! Congrats! So glad things are moving - just wish they would start on mine now

Mrs-G

Caleo - you've gotta be next !

Ahhhh Mrs-G congrats that's fantastic!!!!!!!! So are you going to be sending in your passport or taking it in? How annoying they couldn't have sent it yesterday! Haha, typical eh?! So happy for you, enjoy the celebrations!

Mrs-G

Cheers Suze!

I know! its just the way our luck has gone recently - however, just happy to have it at this point

Well! We weren't actually planning on going over to Toronto again this year - the next trip is hopefully when we move - so we've decided to change our flights going out for this trip - instead of leaving from Glasgow in 3 weeks, we'll leave from London. So using a combination of airmiles, BA miles and various other things, Mr-G is taking his passport down in person next week, then we're both just going to start our hols in 3 weeks with a day out in London, collect the passport and visas, go for a wander around (maybe go the Maple Leaf in Covent Garden for a few beers and kid on we're in Canada!).

so.... lets hope they don't stuff it up in London or we'll be going nowhere

Congrats Mrs G!! Great news!!

Just received the letter today approving me as Sponsor! Let's hope London will process the rest of our applications quickly now!!
