Hi yes we read that but it costs a lot for a certified copy of a document so we thought rather save that and just send his passport. No big deal we aren't in a massive rush.http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/citizen/CIT0014E-2.pdf
Identity Documents
Two (2) pieces of personal identification, such as a passport, a driver's license or a health insurance card, one of which must have your photo on it. - COPY
I suggest you look a bit closer at the checklist. It explicitly states: DO NOT SUBMIT ORIGINALS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED AS DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED WILL NOT BE RETURNED. They don't ask for an original passport, so if he sends it, they won't be returning it.Hi yes we read that but it costs a lot for a certified copy of a document so we thought rather save that and just send his passport.

As far as I know being engaged isn't enough to sponsor since it only applies for spouses and common-law partners. In my case, I was engaged for 7 months (however we did start living together here in canada 3 months before getting married) and we applied just after getting the marriage certificate, a month after.That's exactly my case.
I'm landed and this winter is planning to go and get married then sponsoring my husband.
Now we are engaged.
Thank you, I did read that and emailed the embassy in London to confirm if they would send the originals back and they said 100% they would and I have that email as confirmation.I suggest you look a bit closer at the checklist.

OK, good luck.Thank you, I did read that and emailed the embassy in London to confirm if they would send the originals back and they said 100% they would and I have that email as confirmation.
Give it a few more weeks, usually 5-6 weeks, maybe on the longer side since lots of people get married over summer.Hi everyone..
i mail my application for spouse Pr on 18 august and it was received at cic office on 23 august.. i am pr in canada and sponsoring my wife who is in india..
I have not received AOR since yet . Please help how much time does it take to receive AOR.. thanks
my PR app was received July 21st and I didn't receive an AOR until Sept 6th. 7 weeks. I expect that you will wait around that long since things are getting more and more backed up with the CIC. the OWP wait was 10-12 weeks in June and is now 16 weeks.Hi everyone..

Hi there. I am a single mother, PR and planning to get married to someone who doesn't live in Canada. You said it would be better to live together while sponsoring. How is that possible? visitor/tourist visa doesn't allow him to stay here more than a month. I wish I could live with him and work to earn money.As far as I know being engaged isn't enough to sponsor since it only applies for spouses and common-law partners. In my case, I was engaged for 7 months (however we did start living together here in canada 3 months before getting married) and we applied just after getting the marriage certificate, a month after.
My recommendation would be to get married, start living together while working on the application and submit it.
