You’re very welcome! I’m glad I’ve been a helpful source of information :) This is what the first page of the 3-page pdf document will look like for the Invitation to Apply to MIFI.

The Invitation to Submit an Undertaking/Invitation to Apply for CSQ will be addressed to the Sponsor and sent to the Sponsor's email -- not sure if this is where you are looking, but wanted to make sure you're watching the correct inbox! c: Keep in mind, the letter will also be a pdf document...

CSQ usually takes 1-3 months for approval from the time of submission.

Woo! Congrats on getting your Confirmation of Receipt Letter! You should be fine since you sent the postal receipt to IRCC as your "evidence", but I personally recommend sending a copy of the Confirmation letter to IRCC just to "keep them updated" so to speak. The Confirmation letter is a...

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you -- I saw your message the same day you posted, but for some reason I thought I had already replied. Apologies for the wait. The second time that I applied, I did a Postal Money Order rather than a Credit Card. Was SO much easier. The second...

I noticed today that the person with the timeline I mentioned also just got their COPR on September 17, 2024! Lucky duck lol We'll get there one day everyone ;)

You have a long road of silence and waiting ahead, my friend. For me, I applied for Inland Spousal Sponsorship on Nov 9, 2023 and received my CSQ on March 22, 2024. I am still waiting for my Background Check to process, but Eligibility, Biometrics, and Medical are all Complete. The most recent...

Yes. My full timeline is in my signature :)

June 11 when they marked my medical complete. Bg Check was started Dec 28

Me!

I'm so glad it helped! :D I recommend sending it sooner rather than later because anything sent via Web Form usually takes between a couple days to 2 weeks for IRCC to get the submission and add it to your file. My timeline was happening around the Christmas holiday and New Year's, so it...

Hi! I apologize if this is very tl;dr. Hopefully all of this information helps clarify things and doesn't further confuse! I know going the DIY route for spousal sponsorship can be a bit confusing and overwhelming, but it's very doable! So at least for me, I got the AOR 22 days after I...

lol you're welcome! I'm glad my timeline helped! Yeah, the invitation to apply to MIFI usually indicates you've already met the federal eligibility requirements, but they can't put the official stamp on it until Quebec also approves. So that's why they need that proof of approval from MIFI...

The next thing will be the AIP, Pre-Arrival Services Letter, and Sponsor Approval from IRCC -- all three usually arrive around the same time. These are what determine your Eligibility. You don't have to do anything but wait for these, but IRCC won't start on them until they get your CSQ. Usually...

When my spouse and I were living in separate countries, we used PayPal as a third party to move money between our bank accounts. It wasn't just one-way, though, sometimes I would send money to my husband and sometimes he would send money to me. But the PayPal system lets you mention what the...

Hi! I'm happy to help bring transparency where I can and answer any questions. The Open Work Permit that I received is valid for two years from the point that is was approved. So I got the approval on Jan 22, 2024, and the expiry is Jan 22, 2026. Most OWPs are going to be valid for 2 years. If...

Me! Also waiting on my medical to register as completed, but I just did the exam on monday, so that should get updated soon.

Whether or not you apply for the visitor visa depends on two things 1. what country your wife is coming from, and 2. whether you would like to apply inland or outland. I would recommend inland because it will have a shorter wait time for processing the PR application, but employment while...

This is my timeline, hope it helps! - Jan 19, 2024: CSQ + Undertaking mailed (included the Postal Money Order with the application -- we also scanned the Canada Post receipt to send it to IRCC via web form as "evidence" of the submission) - Jan 23, 2024ish: CSQ + Undertaking delivered (not 100%...

Just got my medical letter today! Scheduled the exam for monday c:
