****OCTOBER 2019 Inland Spousal Sponsorship****

[strssincanada]

My wife (PA) mother and my father (sponsor) are cousins. My grandmother (my dad mom) is my wife mother's aunt.

So what to enter in "Relationship" column as this section has to be feel out by my wife (PA).

Should we write my wife (PA) mother name and Relations as Mother
Then write my father name and Relation as Uncle

Please someone tell this dumb IRCC to clarify things.

Thank you so much, I was going to do exactly same way. Did you send any trip pictures that you guys took before marriage?

sorry for the late reply! Yes we sent in an assortment of photos (totalling the max of 20) starting with early on when we met to right before we sent in our application.

For Inland Spousal PR + OWP application:
Do we get any notification through email, text message or correspondence from IRCC after the application has been received?
It has been 1 week since the application was received (checked through Canada post tracking) but I haven't got any communication from them.

You won’t receive anything until AOR which is an email that goes to the sponsor’s email address. It usually comes between 4 - 6 weeks after the application was delivered to the office.

The first piece of correspondence we receive from IRCC will be the AOR (acknowledgment of receipt) about 6-8 weeks after receiving your application package.

Ok, now that brings me to another question here. Below question is asked for PA
Do you have any relatives (including aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) living in Canada?

So as per above discussion we have determined that my father is considered My wife's 1st cousin 1 removed, does that mean PA has to include my father (stating as 1st cousin 1 removed) and his children in above question section?

Because that means all my (sponsor) siblings, including me will be my wife (PA) second cousin. Correct? Which should be included in that section as well? Any suggestion

inland it is not required to give biometric, so do not pay for it either.

Hi everyone. Just a quick question: I'm currently sponsoring my wife inland. I got a email from immigration say that the application has been sent to Etobicoke IRCC for further assessment. Does anyone knows what this means??? This was sent to us on october 10th 2019.

Hey guys,

Just submitted our application on October 29th 2019.

I have couple of questions.

First, we paid $85 for biometrics fee and I have been reading that you dont have to pay biometrics for inland applications, if yes. Will I get a refund for the biometrics? I sent a webform but idk what will happen.

Second question, we did not include OWP checklist but we did include OWP application and additional documents, will that cause the application to be returned?

Thanks for your responses in advance!

I didn't put a checklist for the owp either since I didn't even know it existed I really hope it won't get returned but even if it does at least its an easy fix

Not sure if this is useful to anyone but i sent in our application and they received it August 12. Just found out that they started processing last monday Oct 21 - so that means it took them exactly 2 mths and 9 days to open it. (Canadian wife sponsoring Moroccan Husband)

Exactly, there was no such instruction in the original checklist so I guess many people dont put the checklist, the OWP checklist form says it to attach it together though. Hoping for the best!

Man, just when I think I am done and it opens new can of questions. So, please questions as possible.

1. PA is British citizen- Do we have to include original PCC? Sorry I can't find correct question anywhere.

2. PA used to be Indian citizen (as she was born there), her Indian passport was cancelled when she received British passport, Indian Consular does not provide PCC to former Indian passport holder. So, I will write explanation letter. Anyone came across same situation? And what was their experience?

3. Important documents for you and your spouse showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as Employment letter or insurance benefit). I have added PA as my beneficiary at my work, will that letter work?

4. other proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and/or family (eg. letters, cards etc). Do we send original wedding greeting cards or copy it? If we send original wedding greeting cards, do IRCC send it back to us? We do not post our pictures on facebook, however we have tag our self as married to each other on facebook, but its private.

5. We got married in Canada, do we send original marriage certi or copy? I am pretty sure its copy, but I will appreciate your input.

Thanks
