1. No. 2. Officially not but anecdotal evidence varies. Some people find it very smooth whereas others experience unexpected processing delays. 3. No.

Thanks for that information. I need to ask you another question! How did you manage to speak with an agent? I have tried multiple times but the system always refused to let me speak to an agent. In the meantime, I searched around and found news that suggest a systemic discrimination against...

Yes, it will become a Quebec case and you would be required to apply for CSQ. Typical processing time is 2-3 calendar months. But that is a minor problem in my opinion. The major problem is that many a times applications from Quebec just stop progressing on federal side. Unless absolutely...

How do you know about the secondary visa office? I received CSQ for my child sometime in June and sent its scan to the London VO right away but they never replied. There has been zero progress on my application on federal side (medical, eligibility, whatever).

Probably this form does not apply to your situation. You can always write a letter explaining that your wife is not really a non-accompanying parent. If you do, your wife needs to fill it. You are the sponsor and requesting PR for your child. So the no-objection has to come from the other...

The quote from IRCC says that you do not have to do anything if you already told them that you are eligible for priority processing. Are you sure you informed them about it? There were two ways to do it: a) While submitting the application, choose Other as the purpose of travel and then write...

Sure, but what details you need? We can connect on other platforms if it helps by following up in private message.

Hey guys, I recently went through this. I just replied with whatever I know to a similar query in another thread here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/co-signer-residency-for-dependent-child-sponsorship-visa.710232/ Hope it helps

Hey Vinay, Re visit visa: I think you missed the developments with Canada's visit visa process. Your son qualifies for priority processing and for all applications submitted before Aug 9 (I might be forgetting the exact day) they had opened a special web request form for the applicants to...

Hi, My online application for sponsoring dependent child has been returned with the objection: Consent and Declaration: A parent or legal guardian must sign on behalf of a dependent child under the age of 18 when a signature for this person is required As much as I remember, I wrote the name...

I have another question! My wife (who is a permanent resident) cannot be a co-signer because she is staying out of Canada with the newborn. Does she now become a "non-accompanying" parent who has to sign the declaration (IMM5604e)? I wish it is not required because in our peculiar circumstances...

Thanks everyone for clarification! I am aware that one of the parents needs to be in Canada. I was surprised though to read in the original post that outland sponsorship application was submitted online.

Hi, Is it possible to apply the outland sponsorship application for a dependent child online? I thought it was possible only for spouse.

Thanks for pointing it out. I have the RO issue in mind, they have over a year which I hope would be enough to sort out this visa mess.

Thanks a lot armoured! I have one more question popping up as I complete the application packet. As a sponsor, I want to be able to control my daughter's (PA) application who is anyway too little for these matters. Is there any benefit in appointing myself as a representative on behalf of my...
