I am sponsoring my wife inland and she received the AIP. However, I need help with understanding the wordings on the letter. I am a little confused with the wordings in bold letters.

"It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent
residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that
a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent
resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks
for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they
are not applying to join you in Canada at this time
. You cannot become a permanent resident
until you and all your family members have met these requirements."

I am a Canadian and our daughter was born here. Do we require to provide CIC with
medical, security and background checks along with my wife's application? I don't recall reading such requirements because we're only applying for PR for my wife. If yes, we didn't get any request or form for this so what's the steps? Thanks in advance!

No, you don’t have to provide with anything.

Thank you!

What’s your timeline? Almost exactly a year by end of March since we first submitted the application.

How many days after submitting proof of cohab she got AIP? About a month.

Could you please share with us what route you took when they rejected proof of cohabitation? I'm guessing you're wife got the aip and pr by now.

Hello, we consulted an immigration consultant and he basically reiterated a lot of things most already said in this forum which you probably knew already. His suggestion was to provide as much proof as we can since the initial application that we've been cohabiting.

This should include but not limited to event photos from family/friends gathering, letters of support from friends who can vouch that you and your spouse are cohabiting, and anything else you can think of. The letters is very important and preferably these were from friends who are also Canadian citizen and verifiable.

How about reference letter from your doctor and better yet if your friends are also doctors who can vouch for you and have the letter done on company's letterhead. Have you taken your spouse out to your company Christmas party? Then get your boss or coworker to vouch for you. They want verifiable proof and the more proof the better and include everything and anything. Pictures and reference letters are golden!

How about proof of shared expenses? If your spouse is also helping you pay the bills provide expense statements that shows her name with a common address (like utility bills, credit card bill under a common address, phone bills, bank statements, etc).

I hope that helps and yes we got the PR already :)
