    AUGUST 2020 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Yes, one of the things they ask for (as I recall) is evidence you are leaving place you've been residing. Can't hurt anyway.

    AUGUST 2020 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Thank you ! I guess it does put in context the whole move and intent to return. Will let them know. While its not moving to Canada, it is definitely a step forward in that sense.

    Refusal, what now?

    Thank you for your information. What is GCMS may I ask? And if I go back, is it better to go by myself or with her? It's amazing on how they wanted me to quit my job, break my lease and then give me the approval for the PR, like I'm supposed to go job less and home less to show my intent? It's...

    Refusal, what now?

    Sorry to hear this. Subject to actually reading the text of the refusal and if it was indeed about the intent to return to Canada: Your 3) would be my suggestion - an appeal's likely going to take longer. (Alternatively you could return to Canada and apply outland for her). Actually going back...

    Quick question about police certificate

    I don't know about the Canadian police check (since living in Canada now, does he need to sbumit?). There are several threads here about intent to return for citizen-sponsors abroad: job hunts, apartment searches, other arrangements, etc. If you're just travelling for a while and eg have a...

    Quick question about police certificate

    Okay, yeah that's what I was leaning towards. Do you know if they require a Canadian police check from him later on if it would be a problem if he isn't here? And about the intent to return, do you know when that may be required? Thank you.

    Quick question about police certificate

    That is a good reason to apply outland, assuming you are a citizen. Note that if you're abroad for long and especially if no longer working/resident in Canada, you may need to provide info about your intent to return. For your pcc, too bad it's sent by mail. Not clear to me either whether...

    Spousal sponsorship

    So separate points: -As a Canadian, you can move at any time (of course). -yes, it may take a while. Quite possibly longer than 9-11 months. -assume your spouse is not from a visa waiver country. -Yes, can apply for a TRV. It applies to any applicant. Or indeed any person. There's no limit to...

    Spousal sponsorship

    In my letter, I explain that my Russian Temporary residency is expiring, and that I won't renew it. I point them to the included notarized/translated copy of my passport, which shows that my residency is expiring. I also mention that we waited to apply now, as the 12-month window lines up...

    Spousal sponsorship

    The road is long and hard. Very difficult to prove intent to return after 15 years, unless you have a job offer or other serious proof or return without your spouse first. This is because ircc views you as established in your country of residence.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks Just reading from online immigration content and comparing my own experience from 20 years ago, it is abundantly clear that ircc has tightened its noose for the spousal category, while lowering the bar for work visas. Therefore, simply "a letter of explanation" as to why staying in spouse...

    Spousal sponsorship

    On form 5533, where I need to prove my intent to return to Canada, I plan to include this proof - A letter explaining my need to return to Canada. I Mention that my residency is expiring in July 2022, and I won't renew. I make note that we are applying now, so that the expected 12 month...

    Outland Sponsor and Applicant

    Anything regarding preps, even if they are preliminary - housing searches, job hunt, quotes from movers, preps for schooling or credentials for work, preps for children. For the citizen, can/will help to show maintenance of ties (bank accounts, savings, financial arrangements, professional...

    ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES COME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ

    I understood what you meant. I know this will be very hard to do or believe at this point, given what's happened, but I think it won't help you to think of IRCC 'trying to get you.' There may be some with fixed ideas about your file - but probably not a plan.

    ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES COME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ

    thank you, sound advice as usual. if u ever come across an appeal based on residency, let me know, would be interesting read. I meant their contingency plan to anybody who decides to join their spouse abroad, thereby making all ircc accusations of non genuine - moot.....so their contingency is...

    ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES COME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ

    Ah, now I see. I think outright refusals on the basis of no intent to return are relatively few - although they can ask for more info. So if you mean that your plan is to move to join your spouse, I think that is a decent approach. If you keep some ties in Canada you should be okay. I think...

    ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES COME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ

    ok for those who live abroad with their spouses, then ircc as no case for marriage not being genuine, but ircc has a contingency plan for that and issues refusal based on failing to prove intent to return. My question is if one goes back to Canada for the appeal hearing, provides a proof of...

    Timeline process from biometrics/medical to approval

    Yes, it's not that uncommon. Some even apply outland while already based in Canada. Yes, may make sense to consider. Obviously there are other inconveniences (working, health insurance, etc), but you can at least be together. Hopefully yours will go quickly enough that it won't be a major issue.

    Are you both outland? Did you get ADR for intent to return? Wow, you application seems fast!

    Timeline process from biometrics/medical to approval

    I didn't realise my UK spouse on an outland application could wait for part of the time on a tourist visa. We, too, are starting to plan for house sale, mover quotes, getting real estate agents to help with housing etc. in the next six months, but not too sure of timelines, concerned about...
