    Do we have enough for proof for our spousal sponsorship?

    In my opinion an age difference is not a big concern and may be considered normal. Though, through my experience I have personally seen a few applying for sponsorship with a ' large ' age difference that even raised my eyebrows and made me think about how that would work. They were involved...

    Do we have enough for proof for our spousal sponsorship?

    I don't think they will be too interested in your previous relationship unless there are kids involved. No need to write a novel,.. Just keep it simple and provide them with the legal divorce document. If there is not a big age difference, cross-cultural family issues, past criminal history...

    still waiting to hear from immigration

    Many things to consider. It may have been beneficial to maintain your outland sponsorship while you patiently wait. Since your wife has a visitor visa she can travel to visit within the guidelines and surely you can do the same. When you contacted IRCC, they may not be aware of any changes to...

    For outland sponsorship the medical request is usually requested prior to the file being transferred to HK, If there are no issues, additional documents, interviews, covid outbreaks, etc. then I would expect around 3-months from AOR2. The HK office was very efficient. ( Don't know how busy they...

    Housing crisis in Canada

    I care about the housing crisis and so do all my neighbours. The government would like newcomers to populate less dense areas, but this is Canada and most people are not accustomed to adverse weather conditions, wild animals, fires, language barriers, isolation, etc. The mountains and lakes...
