It depends on the reason the visa was denied, but in most cases it won't affect spousal sponsorship! Just make sure to avoid misrepresentation and inconsistencies between your applications. If you're really worried get the notes from the refused visa and have an immigration consultant look...

Based on what I've read here I don't think her refused visa will cause a problem for spousal sponsorship. My husband had two student visas refused because of lack of ties to home country, financial, travel history and not believing he would leave when his visa expired. We talked with an...

Congratulations!!! I don't know what is normal or expected of you in this situation, but it sounds like you've done everything right. If CIC disagrees they will notify you and you'll have an opportunity to submit whatever they think is missing - I'm sure they don't expect you to do anything...

Did you print out the specifications and bring them with you to the photographer? Thats what we did because we were afraid to get them wrong. Double check all specifications like size, photographer info and date requirements, expression, jewelry/glasses that might not be allowed, etc. If you're...

I also want to keep my job until my husband's PR is approved. I had my employer write a letter stating that she knows of my intentions to return to Canada and that my employment with her will terminate when my husband received his PR. I also submitted letters from family and friends in Canada...

Hey! I had a lot of trouble linking to mycic. I wasn't trying any trick when I was finally able to link, not even all capitals for family name, I just entered the information normally, though I left the place of birth fields empty. I had tried this many times before, I think that CIC just hadn't...

Received AOR1 last night before bed! I know it's just the first email but I'm super excited! I just updated my info on the spreadsheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CUkTFpwDRvX3vg4FwEoQ4bjyo1ux2qpjLusu08y2gnc/edit#gid=992511551

I was finally able to link my application today! There was no trick or anything, I entered the same information I've been entering every day for the last two weeks! I think they must have just finally put us in the system! I hope everyone else who's been trying can link soon too! :)

Hi Andreaquebec! I'm hoping it will be less than 10 months too! From what I've seen on the threads here and other forums, lots of people are getting PR after 7-8 months! I hope that's the case for us as well! We're going to live in Toronto when we first get back to Canada. That's where I'm...

She should renew it using whichever name she legally goes by. Will she renew it after the wedding? If so then I'd renew it with her new legal name. If she doesn't yet change her family name it shouldn't be a problem to have her maiden name on the passport and forms. To avoid any confusion I...

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking... Do you want to know if its okay to share information through that number? If it matches with the VO's number online, I would think so. Try asking in a thread with other people being processed through the same VO, they're more likely to have had this...

Welcome! You can try to check your application online - some are successful linking their application to mycic, but I'm not one of them... yet. Don't forget to add your info to the spreadsheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CUkTFpwDRvX3vg4FwEoQ4bjyo1ux2qpjLusu08y2gnc/edit#gid=992511551

Ours was received on Nov. 8th and we also haven't heard anything. Its only been 16 days (17 for you) and it's estimated that it takes 27 days for SA, so I think we just have to hang tight until then. If I haven't heard anything after 27 days I'll contact CIC, but that still over a week away. You...

There shouldn't be anything wrong with the applicant travelling, but if you are living in another country you should update your address with cic and you should check your region specific instructions regarding police checks... ours says that you must submit a police check for every country you...

I recommend doing the medicals before they request them. Waiting for them to request will add time to the processing of your application. Especially if you received something saying "if haven't done medicals, send them", I think you should send them asap.

Hi! There shouldn't be a problem with income as even an unemployed person can sponsor a spouse, however, your wife will have to prove her intention to return to Canada and a job offer or employment offer is a good way to do this! If she can't provide a job offer, proof of property like...

I had left all fields that didn't apply blank until an immigration counsellor told me to write "Not Applicable" in certain fields... I didn't write anything by hand. If the form greyd a field out I left it blank, but if it didn't, I typed "Not Applicable".

Ours is Sao Paulo. My husband keeps saying that we'll hear this week but I'm trying not to get my hopes up quite yet! It looks like our application was filed the day after yours! :)

We also can't link to our application. It is very frustrating! What is your visa office? The government website says processing times for us are 10 months including 27 days for sponsor approval. If we reach 27 days and still can't link and still don't have any communication from cic, I'll be...
