Dumb question guys, I am the sponsor (PR in Canada), will be sponsoring my future wife (non PR living outside Canada).

1. In the IRCC website, who must open an account and start the application, Me or Her? (I already have a 5 year account though).

2. Principal applicant in this case is the future wife, correct?

-------------------

3. What is the meaning of "certified translations" (of text messages/ chats)?
Is it through an attorney (we bring screenshots of messages and attorney translates it)? Who translates this and verifies this?

I thought one can apply only on paper for this, not line as you wrote; not clear. You don't need to open an account just to apply outland

Hello! I'm a dual citizen (US/Canadian) who's preparing to sponsor my wife and daughter. Our US passports were expired so we have applied for renewed ones plus one for my daughter. In the meantime, we're preparing everything for the sponsorship application so when the passports arrive we'll be ready to submit. Our Plan A is apply outland and get PR before moving to Canada. However, with the volatile situation here in the US, I'm also want to have a Plan B ready in case we need to leave sooner than later. We're working with an immigration lawyer who has said we could apply outland, then potentially come to Canada prior to the PR being complete. The only thing would be that my wife wouldn't be able to work until PR went through. My questions are, does that sound correct? And if so, would my wife and daughter be in the country on temporary visas and therefore still need to leave every 6 months until the PR went through? Also, I have a Canadian citizenship certificate but not a Canadian passport. Would a certificate and a US passport be sufficient? Thanks

They replied saying visa officer recommended interview. They will later inform me when international interviews start

We are applying for outland spousal sponsorship from India.

1. The consultant based out of CA missed informing us that NOA was needed while sharing document list and gave a last min request. Since my husband filed taxes late for 2017/18 he is yet to get NOA (2018/19 was filed on time). Its been 8 weeks since we requested and CRA is yet to respond and neither are we able to access it online. Is there any way to expedite or escalate this?

2. We requested the consultant to put-in the application without NOA with an explanation letter and they mentioned that they are doing a paper-based application for us and it will not be possible to link later on - Also, mentioned only paper-based application is an option for spousal applications through consultants - IS THIS TRUE?

3. The consultant (NIREN ASSOCIATES) took 4 months to evaluate my documents and did nothing and on top of it didn't inform me proactively about documents. This too they informed after my follow-ups. I'm now apprehensive about how they will handle the entire job ? Is there anyway to revoke or take action or complaint? Or is this how Immigration consultants work ? Has anyone has any experience with NIREN ASSOCIATES with respect to Spousal Applications ?

We have been living separated for 2 years now and I'm looking for genuine help in these queries.

No there is no way to expedite this, you will have to wait until CRA gets back to you

Yes It is true

Too late now if you have already paid their fees and they have submitted your application. If you have not I highly suggest use Immigration Lawyer not a consultant. Do it yourself it is all in the Canadian website step by step rather than using a Consultant, they don’t usually have a whole ton of knowledge.

I would strongly suggest you read through the application materials yourself and double-check so that you can push back and ask questions if you doubt the ability of your consultants to respond well. Have you already submitted your application? If not, you can revoke at any time and prepare and submit yourself - but obviously you may lose what you've paid up-front.

At any rate, look at page 5 of the IMM1344 form, which is the part that asks for your notice of assessment. It says quite clearly if you cannot provide the NOA, you must provide an explanation on a separate sheet of paper, accompanied by relevant financial documentation (i.e. to show you can support, this might be bank account savings, other info on income, etc.)

And your consultant is not entirely correct that it is not possible to "link" information later on. You CAN submit a webform after the submission to provide the NOA when available. It is more difficult to submit this information - because you may have difficulty specifying sufficiently the file without the file number, and IRCC may take some time to figure it out, as it won't be high priority - but it can be done.

Now it's up to you and the consultant whether it is better to wait for the notice of assessment or if what you have already in hand to show ability to support is sufficient. That's a separate question, and it may be better to wait until you get the NOA (I've no idea). But it is certainly possible to submit without waiting and to link information later (although not necessarily easy).

Thanks a ton. I'll consider your suggestions.
