After you get AOR 1 (the first notification from CIC), you need to inform them that your wife is pregnant. But it does not guarantee that the case will be fast enough for her to arrive to Canada and give a birth there, but still might help

Hello all,

I am sponsoring my husband (indian citizen). He was working in Thailand when we sent out our application and therefore it was assigned to the Singapore visa office.
His work term in Thailand is now complete and has moved back to India. He changed the address through the webform to be India address.

My question is that can the application still stay in Singapore office to be processed or we have to request for a transfer?
Honestly I would prefer it to stay in the same office as it started to keep things simple but I am worried that if I am missing out on any rule to be followed if the PA moves from one country to another.

I would really really really appreciate some help and feedback.
We need to make a decision ASAP.

Thanks so much in advance

Nobody has or can have any control over their VO. It goes where they want it to go.

There is not rule or reason for it to move just because the PA moves.

I need some help with the following:

Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature Schedule A with no gaps & employment details, addresses since age of 16. This must be received at this office by: XXXXX

Travel History: Proof of travel history Travel history since age of 16 This must be received at this office by: XXXXX

I have read through other parts of this forum to see what people have had to say, but specifically want to know:
1) What do you do if you are not sure of specific dates? Addresses? for Schedule A due to the length of time that has passed. Some of the information is from 26 years ago. Do I include a written declaration explaining the situation?

2) Travel History: How does one show proof of travel when fleeing from a country of turmoil and war? Do I just include a written declaration as there is no passport or travel documentation records? Also, there is no reference to a specific form to fill in so is a spreadsheet with itemization and scanned copies of passports enough?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know it says
Provide the details of your personal history since the age of 18, or the past 10 years, whichever is most recent.
you dont need to go back 26 years, only 10 years is enough

Already submitted one that goes back 10 years, but the latest message specifically mentions since the age of 16 and this is why I am confused.

Assuming your wife is not visa-exempt, she can try for a TRV. However, with a Canadian spouse in Canada and a sponsorship app in process, there is little chance of approval.

If she is approved, depending on your province, she likely won't have provincial health coverage in time for the birth and no insurance company will cover it, so you will have to pay out of pocket for all medical expenses.

Pregnancy has no effect on the processing time.

People often receive a request to go back to age 18 even after they have provided the 10 years. However, I've never seen a request to go back to age 16. I would clarify with the VO. Have you requested GCMS notes?

In one of her posts, she mentioned that the PA is from a war torn country. That might be the reason.
