[ALIAHMED9890]

Hello everyone,

Just to update i am an july applicant, My File was received on 18 July and Got AOR2 on 13 october since then no update from London Vo.

My question is, my wife gave birth to a baby girl in canada in november and we have not updated this to cic and since she is born in canada there will be no issues with her status, should we update to cic about our baby girl? anyone know the process? so that when i get my Visa to canada there will be no further delay

Congratulations! Yes, you have to notify CIC. You need to provide them with the birth certificate of the child.

Guys,

My file was received on July 21st. My last correspondence was a medical request, which has been completed. Besides that I have received the eligibility email, submitted PCC and my file was transferred to the Singapore visa office. When I logged into my account it still shows my spouse's background check hasn't started. I know it is different for everybody but the medical was done at the month of december and of course it feels like forever. Anyone in this thread who's background check hasn't started or I am the lone shark here.

Many Congrats Fahad on your Baby girl! and my wife's file (PA) is also started on July 18th, 2017 and file moved to LVO on Sept 18th, 2017. now more than 4 months no word from LVO. While other VOs like mississauga, Manila NDVO and Nairoubi issuing spousal visas in just 6 months. so sad

Hi Everyone!
Just joined the group so I hope it’s ok if I just ask a question specific to my situation.
I’m Canadian and my husband is German and we are living in Germany - have been the last 7 years.
We have planned the big move back already and we would already be leaving in March. If he enters Canada as a visitor then I submit the paperwork for his sponsorship /open work permit at entry, is there anything that needs to be taken into consideration? I’ve spoken to immigration Canada via phone and that’s what they suggested rather than applying from Germany since any interview etc would then have to be conducted here if I submit an Outland application.

What could you suggest? If anyone had any info it would be really appreciated. Trying to get in touch with anyone at cic/ircc seems to not be super easy if you’re not in Canada unfortunately

Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi,
My advice is to apply inland. I am in the same situation as you, I am Spanish and my husband is Canadian but we were living in the USA when we decided to come and live in Canada. We have 2 daughters (4 and 2 year old) and they have dual citizenship Canadian/Spanish. We wanted to start the process ASAP so we applied Outland...it was a big mistake! It’s been almost 6 months since we applied and nothing yet! I had to apply for a visa extension since I can only visit for 6 months (passport stamp) and I am also waiting for the extension approval which can take 3 months, so I will be soon in an “implied status” situation. So in limbo! Also, as a visitor you can only drive with your foreign license for 6 months. If they reject my extension what are we supposed to do? Break the family apart? And for how long? This is just nonsense!

For your peace of mind wait until you get to Canada and apply inland so your wife will be able to work after 4 months, can stay in the country without worries, and can get a driving license.
Another piece of advice check “Canadian blue cross” for long-term travel health insurance, it was 2 times cheaper than any European one.

you should at least get your medical request. I have submitted my wife applicaiton in july 2017 and she got her medical request in sept right after 1 month even before. PCC i have submitted upfront so they never asked. do u have ur PCC ready? if yes then wait for couple of weeks
