re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Hi All
Just thought id post our timelines for those still awaiting their visas.
Timeline: Sponsorship app. sent 28th Sept 10, Received in Mississauga 1st Oct 10, Approved as Sponsor 1st Nov 10, Letter Received 8th Nov 10, London Starting processing 25th Nov 10, PPR requested 24th Jan 11, Passport sent 26th Jan 11, Passport returned with VISA
15th Feb 11 yeah ...
Id like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who has been posting their stories since Sept as it has definately helped us in moments of madness, it is very stressful just waiting especially when people have similar timelines as yours and they hear before you.
We did receive an email the week before my wife got her PPR which was over non payment of fees, which were all paid in Sept so we (frantically) emailed back supporting documents and that was that.
We are now in the process of shipping our goods and plan to land at the end of March 11
Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone still waiting.
ps. how do you get your timeslines to show below????

Can I ask - myself and Leggy have a question on the 'help with sponsorship' thread if someone wouldn't mind popping in to have a look

Hi Guys,
Quick question for those of you that sent your passport back to London from Canada, how long did it take for them to return it? I Fedexed mine overnight so they received it on Monday, but my boss is asking me when I can return to work, so I'm wondering what sort of time frame I should give her?
Cheers

PS Service Ontario will not give you an OHIP card until you have your Confirmation of Permanent Residency signed and stamped.

Thanks for that,
Another quick question for those of you that have landed. I have read somewhere that you have to provide proof of funds when you land? Is this true and how much do you have to prove you have? Just wondering becuase I don't recall seeing this on the application.

guys - would appreciate some advice; just going through my forms so that we can send them of tomorrow -I was looking through the 'Application for permanent residence in Canada (IMM 0008 Generic)' form; I know I don't need to include my wife/common-law partner as she is a Canadian citizen, however I am confused regarding our children, they are also all Canadian citizen's - dowe include them or not? The guide states that all dependent children need to be included but not sure if this relates to non-Canadians or not; thanks.

Hi
No they are not included. Note the line at the top page 2 "who are not already permanent residents or citizens of Canada"

Thanks PMM, appreciate it. I know I'm probably being a pest now; have another question, I need to get a "Statutory Declaration from an individual with personal knowledge of our relationship....." Does this have to be someone with a particular profession etc or can it be anyone that has known us for a certain period of time? In addition, does this mean that I still need to send passport, birth certificate, citizenship copies with my application for my wife and kids or just mine alone?

Is anyone else tired of waiting?!?! We called yet again on Friday and were told to call back on monday and would hopefully receive good news. No answer Monday, but got through on Tuesday. Was told still no answer - give them another day - and not to call again - they would call us. We were told we have absolutely nothing to worry about. We have my brother's wedding in May and want to know whether we are booking single or return flights. Having a down day about it today - just want the email/letter to say yes!!! There doesn't seem to be much action!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
i have a query:
has anyone here been able to log into eCas using a Immigration File Number... Fxxxxxxxxx (9digits)
Ive been logging into eCas using my sponsors receipt number which is fine cos it seems to show fairly up to date info, but i would like to see whats on mine.
also, cos I have an immigration consultant, will the CIC deal with me? I want to send a case specific email just to see if it speeds mine along (As it seems to have done for others here). my immigration consultant didnt think it was a good idea to send one at all when i suggested to him that he send one for me...
