    JULY 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Your sig shows you got an ADR, what was that for? And no, in all the files/cases I have seen, the request for addl docs about intent to return to Canada came well after the sponsor approval. In our gcms notes at the initial file summary - it notes / noted that the sponsor is citizen abroad and...

    JULY 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    1. We did not get a letter requesting more information. Perhaps our file was particularly strong; don't know. My impression is that there is slightly more of a tendency to request such addl documentation (possibly with moving files to 'new' or different offices or using more junior staff to...

    JULY 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    We are applying outland. I am the Canadian citizen and I haven't received any letter requesting proof of intent to return. I am currently still abroad, but I was wondering when would the intent to return be questioned ? Wouldn't that happen before they provide Sponsor Approval ?

    JULY 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    For anyone who is applying where both partners are outland: 1. did you receive a letter requesting proof of intent to return; 2. how many days did you have to provide evidence, if so; 3. what types of evidence did you use, especially if you didn't return to Canada straight away and did you get...

    Proof of sponsor's intention to return to Canada???

    I think you have a very good start there, I underline that my emphasis was not proving that she does not intend to leave Canada, but not actually leaving. They have access to departure records so they can check if they wish. Again - from intuition - I'd suggest first informing them that she has...

    Proof of sponsor's intention to return to Canada???

    You can worry a little less as returning to Canada is already a VERY significant proof of her intent to return to Canada. My suggestion would be to start by sending information (webform, email if you know which visa office) notifying change of address with supporting proof that she's returned...

    Questions about sponsoring a partner from Cambodia.

    Common law not conjugal. You can apply before returning to Canada and then update your address to Canada. If you apply while still abroad, you'll have to show intent to return to Canada. If it's a short period of time may be easier to apply once already back in Canada. Make sure you have good...

    April 2021 OUtLand Spouse Sponsorship

    It's worth nothing that you should take the 'intent to return to Canada' part seriously - and also continue to gather info / prepare during process (after applying). There's been a spate of files where visa offices have asked for additional documents showing this later in the process; my...

    April 2021 OUtLand Spouse Sponsorship

    Guidance is that most files are done in less than a year. The rest depends on how complex the file is and ircc internal. Applicants from Aus may be quicker because security checks usually easy, and couples with kids together for years usually have fewer issues showing genuine relationship. But...

    MARCH 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    I don't mean to insert myself in this discussion - but I understood @SHPAH 's situation to be different - a Canadian citizen living abroad (and in need of showing intent to return to Canada per the regs). It's possible I may have misunderstood - but I don't think it applies to your situation, as...

    Sponsorship

    I suggest you and your spouse look at the application guides and other threads. You keep saying she is in Egypt but not how long she has been there. Your idea If/when she applies in Canada, I think she'll need most recent tax filing (notice of assessment) - but please check. "She paid her...

    Sponsorship

    You write "we live together until now" without dates. So we cannot say whether 'visit' is most accurate (or potentially misleading). But why do you propose approaching this way (by which I take to mean you want to file as her living in Canada with an explanation that she is just 'visiting'...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Weird. But it is what it is. I think the various qualifications for at least some ESL teachers don't require university and aren't that long. Just a thought. Any inquiry / info on training or job-qualification stuff either of you do will strengthen that part of case. Sure. My point was...

    SPOUSE APPLICATIONS TRANSFERRED TO *CPC- OTTAWA*

    No, it won't interfere. When you arrive, you should both update your addresses with IRCC. The sponsor because moving will remove/reduce the analysis of 'intent to return to Canada' (also update if sponsor gets a job). The applicant - because for PR applicants approved while in Canada, the...

    Sponsorship

    As I said, I don't have a strong opinion and think it does matter for other aspects about the background - eg ongoing ties to Canada. Since this couple is relatively recently married, I think there is some modest plus to applying as still residing together - and as noted, it's quite possible the...

    Sponsorship

    You add good points @armoured. I was and I believe you also were an expat living abroad when you sponsored your spouse. I had strong ties Canada, still technically employed, bank accounts, credit cards, DL etc. I provided that stuff and we didn't have a problem. IMO, I don't think that just a...

    Sponsorship

    It's a good point that a Canadian citizen residing abroad does need to provide more information and whether it is preferable to submit right away or to wait the couple of months to return to Canada and then submit - no-one can say. Personally I would submit earlier if not too difficult - and...

    Outland sponsorship... Is It Really That Difficult?

    Thanks for sharing your insight! Just curious, I've heard the processing time is about 1 year for outland sponsorship. What did you put for the move-in date for your lease, given that your visa isn't approved yet?

    At what point can you stop worrying?

    I figured they were in Canada. I read the basics lol can't solve everyone's issues when I have my own. Lol. I tried But I do know Outland for both is different. They said that they weren't here? I can't bother to investigate at the moment. Carry on.

    Outland sponsorship... Is It Really That Difficult?

    As far as proving that you will move back to Canada... We've applied while my husband (the citizen) is finishing his graduate degree. We have not gotten SA yet so no guarantee it is enough, but we showed the following for his intent to return to Canada - He maintained Canadian bank account and...
