re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

I landed on Friday without my wife. They didn't even ask where she was or shy she wasn't with me.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

It's a mix of excitement and sadness - had to tell my almost-4 year old nephew that I might not see him for over a year yesterday. But am looking forward to getting back to my wife. It's odd how we...

Congrats Vince and QG! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I've just (3 hours) picked up my shiny, shiny residency visa and COPR. I fly out tomorrow lunchtime, and start work on Monday! Argh!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

My e-cas said exactly the same thing (and still does I think), and my passport is currently at the Canadian High Commission. I know it doesn't stop the worry, but I'm sure it's positive news!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Unless you can think of a compelling reason why they would refuse you (such as your entire application form is a complete sham), it's unlikely that they'd refuse you without an interview. Therefore...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Surely you had to include something relating to your intention to return to Canada as part of the application?

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

You have to land within a year of the medical, or before the expiry date of your passport, whichever is sooner.

In my case, my flight is booked for the day after I pick up my passport... 10 days...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Mine never mentioned Medical results until it had all been finalised. I think that bit depends on how pro-active the case officer is.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Next thing that happens is that you'll get an e-mail that requests your passport, which means you've been approved. How longs this takes seems to depend on a number of things, among them:
- how many...

blue monday - is your timeline correct? Did you send off your sponsorship application before you actually got married? Were you common-law anyway, or did you just time it so that London wouldn't...

I'm in Red Deer, AB at the moment on a visitors visa, and have been since the beginning of May - my wife has been living and working here for three years or so. I managed to get a job in my field...

That is what is said on the official passport request e-mail. If it makes you feel better, my intention is to get into England from Italy on the 15th September, hand my passport in on the 16th, wave...

The passport request says you can take it in in person on a Thursday between 2pm and 3pm, and pick it at the same time two weeks later.

I guess our files are just sitting on someone's desk waiting for them to get round to e-mailing us now. I'm planning on taking my passport in on the 16th September anyway (not that we fixed the dates...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Ah, I had in my head that most people had the e-mail before eCAS changed. That returns me to some sanity then!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland
