Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
And now for third message in a row because... life. So we had to submit a revised IMM1344 (see: Doofus, Adorable). This had a PO box address we have to send it to. Fedex won't deliver to a PO box. Do people have experience with document requests at this point - should I just send it to the courier address on Robert Speck parkway? Or will I need to entrust it to Canada Post's tender mercies to get it to the specific address in their 'please re-send to us' email?

Courier address (no public drop-offs)
2 Robert Speck Parkway,
Suite 300
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8
Fax: 905-803-7392
All the other CPC addresses are PO Box numbers so I don't understand why Fedex wouldn't deliver there again IRCC don't make it easy unless you know where to look
Case Processing Centre: Mississauga, Ontario

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Of course, very happy to send it on. Please PM me you email address and I will email it to you. It is an Excel spreadsheet and it is very simple (i.e. no flashy menus or macros etc.). If you have a basic Excel capability, you will be fine.

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Presuming you had your medical done in March 2016, the date would be March 2017 (1 year after). Bear in mind that you only have to 'land' in Canada by that date - you don't have to remain in Canada if you need to return to the UK temporarily. I would strongly suggest you 'land' at least a week before it expires just in case there are any travel issues!
So, i've calmed down a tad and now collecting thoughts/plotting the first stages of the move. Excited! I received in the post my Confirmation of Permanent Residence, which I had to sign for to get it off the post man. Its basically an elongated sheet of paper, with one of my original photos glued to it. It just looks like a print out from a computer (no fancy paper), however it has a watermark across it that says 'not valid for travel'.
We're looking at booking flights (even just to land and the come back to the UK), am I right in saying this document (plus obvious thing like passport etc) is all i need to take with me? With this COPR in hand, am I ok to book flights?
Thanks folks!

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
Can someone please add my husband and I to the spreadsheet when they have a chance? (Better late than never!) Outland through London. We applied as common-law, however, we got married, so sent them our marriage certificate. Don't know what that means for processing!
Application received on July 9th, 2013
Sponsor Approval August 26th, 2013 (Sadly took a while as they sent our entire package back to us over one question and we had to re-send it all!)
It has said "Application Received" and then "Medical results results have been received" for what seems like an eternity now, months and months! I know Ecas is unreliable but it would be nice to see some change!! Perhaps a "In Process" !!! I really need to stop checking it!
Thanks!

Getting concerned, should we be doing something?! How will they contact us if additional documents are required?

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Five months in we've got movement. Today we received a request for UK police certificate for my partner. It seems a little silly since he hasn't lived there since 1986, and has only visited a handful of times in those 30 years. Oh well, if CIC want it then CIC shall have it.

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
How did you ask them to contact you? Did you supply an email address? If so, they will use that. Do check your 'spam' folder. Do you have access to your application via MyCIC? - that will also show if they request additional information.
