If it's requiring a signature, my inclination would be to send it by post. That said, if their email says it's fine to email it, then just do that.

Hi Kathleen,

I sent ours back, tracked to their courier address. Where I sent our application form to. Like you I was unsure because they didn't say where to in the email!

Case Processing Centre – Mississauga
2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8



Our form was the new one. I've a saved copy on my desktop so I printed it off and signed it.

When I got our application ready, I double checked them all online, printed them and I can't remember signing them? Hopefully, this is the ONLY form I made this mistake with. Partner reckons I only asked him to sign one form! However I'm not worrying, we're in no rush, just happy it's all moving along.

Hi!

Thanks very much. We've now sent ours as well and tracked it to that address.

Hopefully we'll hear good news soon!

Hi all, an update:

After the landing on 31 April (we filled both the goods accompanying and to follow forms), the PR card arrived at our Canadian address last Friday the 26th. That makes 37 work days (not calendar days) for processing and delivery. The card has now arrived in our hands in Hong Kong, ready for our move in July!

Thanks again for all your help, everyone.

Do you know whats great? Waiting almost a month from Sponsor Approval for Meds/Additional Docs request, logging in to check the application status to see that they have apparently requested these and to "see messages below for more details" and there being no messages to check. Googling tells me this is a widespread system error rather than any real progress, frustrating!

Right! That does it! Case specific enquiry sent to chase my wife's PR card. We landed 11th April and no sign to date.

Glad for you - fingers crossed for us!

Just noticed when I logged into MyCIC tonight that the layout of the page has changed. Also, there is now a new (I think) line item for 'Biometrics' listed on it. Also, the wording has changed a little (I think) for the status as it now says that 'Background check - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.'

Default Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London

Just a quick query re our spousal PR application (medicals and police checks passed in March and application now in Ottawa).
Our two children are Canadian citizens, at the time of sending off our application in February we only had proof of citizenship for one of them. We had applied for citizenship for our second child and included proof of this in our application.
Well in the post today we have received the certificate of Canadian Citizenship for our second child. I was wondering is it worth sending a copy of this to CIC and how i can go about doing that? Is there a way of logging in and uploading it to my application as i can't see anything in there or is there some other portal for sending documents?

Thanks
Matt.

I wouldn't bother. If they want it they will ask for it.

Personally I'd be sending scanned colour copies (front & back) of the child's certificate by Webform:

IRCC Web form

ensure you quote the correct file number for your application. Include an explanation.

It is your responsibility to update IRCC with important information and it states that within the application. I would not be waiting for them to ask and potentially delaying file processing. But that's me.

+1 - if nothing else, it will remedy the delay likely to be caused when they have to ask you for the information and then set your file to one side for 60 days.

After attempting to call them fifty times over the past week, I finally got through to a real person at the CIC call centre to ask about their lack of communication after sponsor approval. On the sponsor approval letter received by my husband on May 10th it said I'd be receiving communication regarding Schedule A within 5 working days (if I hadn't already) - I've had nothing.

After finally being able to talk to an agent apparently my Schedule A request was sent May 4th, however no messages have been received in my account. This is beyond frustrating! I've been told to submit *another* technical issue report and to wait for them to sort their system out.

Okay so i havent been on here a while, since i been away, I have finally Landed in BC Canada, - the flight was delayed at London Gatwick for 8 hours, so of course it was very late when I arrived... however the process was quite quick through security. was asked lots of questions around my goods to follow, but i followed the whole process so they were just confirming what i had stated in my forms.

SO have been here just over a week now, and had sorted out my SIN number, driving licence and bank account all by done by day 3!!!!

Now just relaxing and taking it all in before looking for work!

thanks everyone

So just out of curiosity ... why would it be the case that someone who's application was received a day after mine in Mississauga, (they are from from Ireland UK and I'm from Wales UK) have had correspondence before me? I know impatient but just curious? TIA
