pre arrival - is a good sign. It means that in the nearest time you will get your passport request ;)

When our case was sent back, we corrected the issues they pointed at and added a few pictures, travel tickets as my husband has already visited me meanwhile as well as my tickets for the planned trip to Canada.

If your wife took ur last name after the wedding, then she needs a new passport. E.g. I have not changed my last name, so uded my current passport.

Your wife should be a Canadian citizen and show proofs that she is going to return to Canada in the nearest time. If your wife is a PR in Canada, she cannot sponsor you living in a different country, only in Canada. After PR has been approved, you need to enter Canada till your medical test...

for me it was one and a half month

It is the same, just ecas is not regularly updated so information there appears a bit later. 'we started processing your application on DATE' - this is the DATE when they opened your case in VO

I have a similar situation as in 2009 I spent almost 6 months in Greece, but I didn't provide the police certificate from Greece. If they specifically request it, then I'll send it. Meanwhile I've decided to get it, but it's not that easy and time-consuming.

It means that your local VO received PA's application. If they have really opened your case at least once - nobody knows. You can order GCM notes to find out that http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

I have read somewhere that Canada has recently changed the age of dependent children to up to 22yo and that it's gonna delay all types of immigration streams.

To apply for sponsorship, a sponsor should have a job in Canada and show the tax declaration. If the sponsor lives outside Canada, he/she needs to show intensions on moving to Canada (job offer/renting a house/letter from relatives as a confirmation, etc). Travel visa and sponsorship are not...

I guess so ))

I would recommend to to show your history starting from your 18yo. Because I've heard lots of stories, when people described only last 10 years, but then VO would require an updated Schedule A form with the history starting from 18yo.

Neither can I, looks like it's gone

She can apply for tourist visa anytime, it's not connected with the sponsorship

No requirement at all neither for you not for her

I have used highlights of conversations of different periods starting from the very beginning to confirm our long time relationship

It's up to you. My husband checked "proceed ..." option.

Congratulations! This is a Passport Request! You need to mail them PA's passport to get the entrance visa as a permanent resident.

1. I don't think you need it. In one of the forms there will be a question about visa denials where you will answer YES and explain why it was denied in your opinion (e.g. you didn't provide enough documents/evidents) 3. I created a Word file with text, photos, emails altogether.

I guess they are inviting you for the interview because you tried to hide your previous marriage and divorce. Better to tell them the whole truth.
