Re: IEC 2013

If it is any consolation I found the common law PR process a breeze compared to going through the IEC programs a few times. :)

Re: IEC 2013

I'm in disbelief that they've created a system more inefficient than the 'preferred vendor' status system that BUNAC used to enjoy. I haven't used an IEC visa for two years, but it was clear that...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Dude I'm so sorry! I was waiting with baited breath for good news from you when mine came through.

Any ideas why they're requesting a RCMP check - I think we've both been in Canada on working...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

I used Peace Arch. No bank statements are required, as there are no financial requirements to sponsor a spouse through this application method.

Was the best border experience I've ever had...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

The guy at the border did not mention anything about that to me! He actually specifically said that the paper that was stapled in my passport acted as my PR card until I received it in the mail.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Yup - thats the case of almost everyone who has applied recently. You are probably looking at a wait for sponsor stage approval of 2-3 months.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Thanks! :D

It took 5 months and 5 days from start to finish - which seems to be about par or the course at the moment. I submitted through London (via Missis. of course).

Picked up my COPR from the post office today. Off down to Bellingham for the day tomorrow, and will land on the way back, and then all this will finally be over! :D

Wow - exciting stuff. I was expecting a 3-4 week wait from seeing my decision made status update. Now I can start getting really excited, as it could be here any day! :D

Yeah - your sponsor is providing you with sponsorship.

I spent HOURS going over everything, and double checking everything.

And only after I sent it off I spent 2 weeks convincing myself I'd sent it to the wrong address - as originally I'd written the...

Did either of you have any changes to the online status update after decision made (i.e. a notification that COPR had been sent out?).

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Nope - the sponsorship phase is purely assessing whether your sponsor is eligible to sponsor you or not - nothing else. In theory you could be a world renowned war criminal, and have a sponsor who...

I got my Decision Made status yesterday - so it looks to be 6 months (I had no requests for extra info, and didn't have to refill any application forms).

If I were in the condo owning sector, I'd have gotten out a couple of years ago. In a market like this, they're always going to be the first to go illiquid.
