    Canadian citizen Outland spousal sponsorship - REALLY Need help as we finalize application

    In that video the policy they are referring to is the Spousal reunification, which allows you to get a work permit if you are in Canada with your spousal and if you have an ongoing Spousal application. You do not get it automatically, you need to apply to go to Canada first (TRV) and once in...

    Canadian citizen Outland spousal sponsorship - REALLY Need help as we finalize application

    You DON'T need to provide if you didn't stay in a row. That's because majority of countries a tourist visa can be no longer than 6 months (in a row). Follow that guide as it states. I reiterate what Scylla said. Do not follow YouTube videos. I am reposting my answer bellow with the correct...

    Time for approval after biometrics.

    Hey Joseph! Really hard to say, but knowing your process and since you applied outland, after your medicals you are looking at another 1.5 months (best case scenario), up to 8 months on average. Do you know which visa office is handling your case? If it's the one back in Australia, I'd suggest...

    Information missing

    They usuallydo ghost updates in the portal about five days in a row and then the application is closed after your COPR and PPR. You have nothing to worry about.

    TRV With dual citizenship and Spousal Application

    Yes I agree, I applied under the passport that requires visa because my other citizenship was done very recently, and under that passport I've been to Canada before and had a UCI so I thought it would be best to stick to one instead of switching just because of the spousal application. Okay...

    TRV With dual citizenship and Spousal Application

    We have a PR application in process (since July) and hopefully it will be done by March, if not I am planning on coming to Canada to see my wife (she can't come here because she already used her two weeks vacation to see me last June). I applied for our process under my birth passport (requires...

    Is student visa a temporary resident visa?

    One of the requirements for an eTA in my country is that you’ve held a Canadian visitor visa (temporary resident visa) in the past 10 years. I've had a student visa from 2013 to the end of 2014. Would that be considered a temporary resident visa? And if so, since it ended in December 2014, is...

    Mexico VO/Family Sponsor processing times?

    Did you try ordering GCMS notes? Just to have an idea of what is going on. Have you traveled to any other country before? You should get an update soon, if not I would also suggest you applying for a TRV, maybe that could give them a nudge to finish your application.

    Returning to Canada after one year exclusion

    Really thanks for that, I will send you an email shortly with some other info if you can help us as well. Yeah I definitely know the feeling. My wife isn't pregnant yet but the distance just kill us. Even though we can spend vacations together it is literally only 2 weeks out of a whole year.

    Returning to Canada after one year exclusion

    Thank you very much! What do you mean you showed your dual intent? Did you write a letter or is there some sort of form? I'm asking because I am in a similar situation. My next question was going to be about the airport, did you tell them you just wanted to be reunited with your spouse while...

    Use of rep form--help

    For the representative form, you need to print it and sign by hand. Same for the other parties involved (PA and Sponsor). Make sure that the signature matches official documents.

    IMM 5532 signature required.

    There are two ways you can do this. The printing method - Save the file on your computer, open it, select print, and under printer options you choose Windows PDF, and click print. This will prompt a save location window for your file. That will save your PDF file as another PDF (kinda silly)...

    GC key shows Not applicable for background check - please help

    It will change to in progress or completed eventually. It may be in progress already or they might not even started yet. Don't worry, it is applicable to everyone that is getting a permanent residency. Neither the tracker or the gckey account have dead on accurate information.

    No confirmation email.

    As I've posted this in another topic, I will just repeat it: Some people do get an email stating the application was "Submitted" (Note: that is different than "Received" which comes with AOR) But some people don't get that email. Don't sweat too much, if in the portal it says Submitted, it...

    Mexico VO/Family Sponsor processing times?

    I am not sure how these affect the timelines but, I've been keeping a close eye on some data from both Mexico and some South America countries. By November (when our application was moved to Mexico) their Visitor Visa time was 69 days and their Work Visa was 6 weeks. Right now their processing...
