    Is a seperate letter regarding plans for a Canadian Life okay?

    My feeling is that IRCC can and does have very specific guidelines for certain things so in the case of something like this where they basically say "outline your plans" so long as it's easily identifiable as that, they must not care too much. After all they could have specific requirements for...

    Is a seperate letter regarding plans for a Canadian Life okay?

    Yes, don't think it matters whether it's a physically separate document or a clearly separated section and clearly specifies it's about the plans/intent to return to Canada. I did it separate so I could keep in order and group the bits like this with the related documents. But whatever works...

    Is a seperate letter regarding plans for a Canadian Life okay?

    Thanks! I am a citizen abroad, and can be a bit wordy with writing. I am doing my best to keep it short but sweet. I will just keep it to one letter.

    Is a seperate letter regarding plans for a Canadian Life okay?

    Are you a citizen residing abroad? If not, you'll have to apply from within Canada. If so, read the instructions carefully - you'll need to provide some information on your intent to return to Canada - that would include these plans. If you just mean as a general thing - follow the...

    Outland spouse _ urgent question

    If she is a citizen, she can go and stay with him. There's no special procedure to process faster - just a regular outland application. Note, if she does this as a Cdn residing abroad, she'll need to provide some info on intent to return to Canada. It's in the application docs.

    You need to show intent to return that's what's important. Maybe a job/school you attend in your home country currently. You're profile is still just in the pool anyway and you have a history of entering and leaving Canada properly. I think you'll be fine. I know people who got to Canada on...

    ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES COME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ

    Lots here have done, there is a tracking spreadsheet to get an idea of timelines. Most (~80%) are done in less than a year in normal times, and getting back to normal despite COVID. A fair number get done considerably quicker. Ours was done in one year despite hitting the worst of covid delays...

    OCTOBER 2020 OUTLAND Spousal Sponsorship

    Had a question. When you applied, were you living outside of Canada and provided initial evidence of intent to return? Or were you living inside Canada at the time of the application and then moved outside the country while the application was processing?

    OCTOBER 2020 OUTLAND Spousal Sponsorship

    Sponsor hasn't lived in Canada for 35 yrs. So, we're not too surprised by the request.

    OCTOBER 2020 OUTLAND Spousal Sponsorship

    Thank you. Interesting that they did not end up requesting the supporting docs. It's still a bit unclear whether this is some new level of strictness about the intent-to-return policy or possibly just a more general formal ask-everyone to update policy. I'm under the impression they are asking...

    OCTOBER 2020 OUTLAND Spousal Sponsorship

    Good memory. The follow up request was for a certified copy of our marriage certificate and supporting evidence that the sponsor actually intends to move back to Canada. We wrote a 3 page letter for the latter that referenced about 12 supporting documents (letter from brother, real estate...

    OCTOBER 2020 OUTLAND Spousal Sponsorship

    I just recalled that you got - I think - the request for more information on intent to return to Canada. For others (topic that comes up a lot) - what had you provided initially and then what did you provide in addition? Was there any further followup or requests from IRCC?

    Spousal sponsorship

    Right, Thank you so much, so I will say that I live exclusively outside of Canada then. Yes, everything I said is true and we are common law, at least for now. Yes, cohabitating in different countries seems wrong. TRV was rejected, as I wrote and explained everything as is, but they think as I...

    Spousal sponsorship

    If you have been or are living outside country for more than one year, that's living exclusively outside Canada (in my view). No big deal: apply as canadian sponsor abroad. if all is as you say, you won't have issues demonstrating intent to return to Canada. You didn't mention that you are not...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thank you so much for detailed answer. Yes, I can sponsor, for sure. I was not sure what to say about exclusive live abroad, cause this is not true, at least as I can see it. For me return to Canada is not just an intend, its a life critical. I have work there and our new office will be ready...

    Spousal sponsorship

    So as a citizen, you can sponsor from abroad. The most significant difference of marking whether you exclusively live abroad is that as a citizen-sponsor abroad, you'll have to show your intent to return to Canada. Given everything you've said above, demonstrating that shouldn't be difficult at...

    Can PA arrive to Canada before Sponsor?

    Note: the biggest issue here is whether the covid rules requiring new PRs arriving to be coming for 'family reunification' i.e. reuniting with a family member or travelling with that family member (who is already a Canadian citizen or PR). I think those rules have been dropped but I'm not...
