Application received in London!

I was planning to write a post tomorrow about it being one month since Tim was approved, but I thought I’d quickly check the CIC website...
Permanent Residence Application Status – Application Received
We received [my name]'s application for permanent residence on July 11, 2011.
Woo, things are definitely moving forward!
  • 25th May – Paperwork received in Mississauga
  • 28th June – Sponsor approved (34 days – CIC estimates 40)
  • 11th July – Paperwork received in London (13 days – very slow postman!)
Going by the CIC website, this next step could take 9 months. However, the British Expats timeline thread and the Trackitt spreadsheet both seem to be showing around 3 months from this point.

Obviously, all I want is to actually get approved, rather than pushing for a quick turnaround, but it would be great if our planned holiday later this year could be a landing trip too. Fingers crossed for 11th October :)

  1. I think the mail was slow because of the Canada Post strike in Canada. Sorry about that :-(

    My sponsorship application only took 4 months at the time, I hope yours will be processed as fast!
