Hi all, quick question:

For the part "Other proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and/or family (e.g. Letters from friends/family, social media information showing a public relationship etc.)" - we're thinking of also including the cards and letters received during our wedding however some of them are not all in English, do we have to translate these as well?
You can translate it yourself and attach to original wedding cards/letters.

Hi everyone. Quick question.

My husband is about to send his required documents (Schedule A Background/Declaration Form and NBI Clearance) to CPC Mississauga. The instruction in the letter he received from Mississauga states to submit in the following address if sending it by mail.

Required Documents
CPC Mississauga/CTD Mississauga
P.O. Box 6100, Station A / CP 6100 Station A
Mississauga ON L5A 4H4

Now the lady in LBC (where we're supposed to send the documents) stated if there is a PO Box, they won't send it because it is a post office. And I don't trust our post office if we really have to send it through them due to recent experience. So can we not put the PO Box 6100, Station A in the to address and just put the CP 6100 Station A..? Or we really have to put the entire above address from their letter?

I hope somebody can answer my question. It will really help us and will be greatly appreciated.

God bless..
CP means case postale, French version of PO BOx, so it wouldn't solve your problem to use only CP 6100. You can send it by express post or use the CIC courier address http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/mississauga.asp

Hi all, another quick question:
Checklist says to include most recent CRA notice of assessment. I'm trying to retrieve a copy from CRA website however the one from there doesn't have the required "Line 150 - Total Income". Should I submit the original notice of assessment which I got with my tax return this year or a scanned copy is fine?

EDIT: sorry, another question - I feel that this is a common one (and apologies if it's a foolish one) but what do you do if the complete address won't fit the box while filling it up thru Adobe? CIC site says: "Addresses should be written out in full without using any abbreviations". Is it really necessary to attach an extra sheet for the full/complete address?

Thank you

Hello!

New to this site, as me (Canadian) and my partner (British) had applied for a conjugal sponsorship and had thought we had selected the visa that fit best for us, as we hadn't lived together continuously for 12 months at the time of our application was sent in.

He had lived in Canada on a Youth Mobility Visa (we had dated long distance for a year previously) , but could not get a job in his field so we decided for him to move back to the UK and I followed him 4 months later with my own Working Visa. We applied for a conjugal sponsorship 6 months after me moving to the UK because we hadn't been common-law and the processing times at the time of our application were 12-18 months and we did not want to have my visa run out and not have an answer of if he could move back and work in Canada or not. We have gotten a reply back from the High Commissions this week saying that they are not satisfied that we maintained a conjugal partnership for at least one year, and that we don't meet the interdependent economically or physically. The evidence for our romantic relationship is sufficient, however they need to be satisfied of our conjugal relationship.

We have now lived together for over a year, are sending 2 lease agreements, bills from our old apartment and our new apartment. A joint bank account, however we had that previously when we sent our documents in but it had a insignificant amount of money in the account. We have now put more money into the account, however not a huge amount to show we are interdependent economically because it is a savings account and immigration is expensive! We have printed bank statements of bank transfers to each other, as my partner had most of the bills in his name and I would just send him money for my share.

Retrospectively I now know conjugal sponsorship is difficult to obtain and we should have waited for us to be common law but we wanted to make sure we had everything organized and trying to be proactive.

My question is can/will they change our application to a common law, and will the new lease, bills and bank statements be enough to prove we are physically and economically interdependent?

Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Anyone have problems submitting Schedule A forms? I keep submitting them through our profile and a few days later we get a request letter for a replacement. I didn't sign it because the forms say to electronically sign, however the basic guide says to sign. It's concerning to me since these must be submitted by August.
what was the reason they asking for replacement of schedule A? Did the request letter specifically say anything?

It takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Once you get the correspondence you will be able to link online. Try not to stress too much :)

Good day! I hope aomeone can help enlighten me. I just want to know how long does it usually takes to get a response from CIC after submitting police certificate and Schedule A background. It's been a month since I submitted mine through IRCC webform but I haven't received any response on what to do next or if my husband has been approved of sponsoring us. Thank you in advance.

Hi All

I am filling the spousal immigration form to sponsor my wife from Pakistan.

Now CIC introduced a new form regarding Details of Military service.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5546E.pdf

My wife never worked for the Military, but she does have a Govt job.

But her dad used to work for Military and now he is still a senior level Govt Officer.
Question?
Do I have to fill this form considering her dad was a military man?
Really confused about this.

Thanks
P.S. IF SOMEOnE RECENTLY DID SPOUSAL IMMIGRATION FROM PAK PLEASE MESSAGE ME, I REALLY NEED HELP FILLING FORMS.
