re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Contact Letton Percival to ask them about insurance for self-packed items - they are a specialist marine insurer who lots of people on here (including me) have used for shipping their stuff to...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Just a quick update from me:

Husband landed at Vancouver on Monday 18th, on his way back from Indianapolis. All went very smoothly, he had to wait for about an hour, but then they asked him a few...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

We paid it all in one go, including the $490 right of permanent residence fee. My understanding is that you can wait and pay that later, when requested, but that it's generally better to pay that...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Glad to hear you made it back eventually - sounds like a bit of a nightmare trip, so glad that the immigration bit went well!

I was feeling pretty emotional too, mostly euphoric actually, I wanted...

Just thought I would post a little update on our arrival in Canada yesterday, can't quite believe we are finally here!

Husband and I ended up taking separate flights about an hour apart (it...

5th August! We are headed to Van Island. We are packed already (left our home 27th June and have been housesitting/staying with friends since then). I am fed up with that now - making the most of...

Ok, this doesn't seem right to me. My impression from the customs info that the shipping company gave me was that a returning citizen wouldn't pay duty on the goods, provided that there was no...

Errrgh. He is flying. Not with air Canada. I think it's US airways. Won't he have something in his passport though, which shows he has landed?

I thought this would be way easier after he had...

Question:
My husband has to travel to the USA about a week after we land with his COPR.

This won't cause any headaches travelling back into Canada, will it - I mean he's not going to have...

Try not to worry. My application was signed for on delivery in Mississauga on Jan 10th. I didn't hear anything until about 12th Feb when they emailed to confirm receipt. Then I received a letter...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

My understanding is that if you ship goods in your name, you won't be able to clear them through customs until you have landed and activated your PR.

We organised our shipment in my name (I'm the...

We have got my husband's COPR now, but had planned to move in August anyway, with him entering under dual intent if it hadn't arrived by then. We wanted our son to be able to start school in...

Nearest big big city is Edinburgh, although we are actually nearer to Kirkcaldy or Dundee. As of August we will be in Courtenay, BC

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Woohoo! We have COPR, postmarked 10th July :D

I'm another one who didn't get asked for the history from age 18.

Very very happy to have this in our hands before we fly out to Canada in early...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Ah, ok I see, decision made on whether you're an eligible sponsor, right?

In that case, wait for the letter, and yes, wait some more! That's a really long wait for a decision on sponsor approval...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

I guess that you wait for your letter - from what I've gathered reading this thread over the past few months, decision made is usually good news and COPR should be on the way. :D

That's encouraging. I did the same as you, so I'm not sure now, since it's in process, whether they are likely to ask for it or not. I guess we just wait and see, but it's good that they didn't ask...
