Hello all, I am eligible as a sponsor and my wife is now with me here in Canada on a 6-month visitors permit, a common situation for many couples I think. Our applications were received at the end of July, I received sponsorship approval mid-September, and we arrived here just two weeks ago. We...

Thanks for the info everyone and especially Kayaker for all the extra info. Looks like we will try for the one way ticket afterall as it seems to work for many. Will be sure to carry all of our PR documentation

Didnt see these replies until now but they were a great help thanks very much

lellen thanks for the quick reply! Any idea if the turnaround time gets reset to zero and I have to wait another 6-8 weeks, or if its sooner the second time around? The additional info they requested was really simple so I hope the approval process is mostly complete and they get back to me soon.

Hello all. I am planning to come back to Canada with my wife. I will stay and find work, she will wait out her PR applcation and check out life in Canada etc as a tourist. We made an application from overseas and have a UIC number and receipt, however in the email from CIC I was asked for...

Hello all. My sponsorship app has been received, my wife's app has also been received and we have a UIC number now. I can see it all online. However, they asked me a clarification question, and for an additional form in the email, which I promptly replied to and mailed back. At the time I also...

Thanks very much for the info canuck_in_uk I will carry our receipts with us as well as our Japanese bank account stuff with savings amounts. Hopefully the sponsorship letter has come through by then! Cheers

Thanks very much for the replies. silverynxes: Thank you. My wife is doing an outland process, mailed from Japan. Can you explain in more detail what a 'visitor visa' is? Is this a special visa for people doing the PR application process? I have never heard of it before canuck_in_uk: Thanks...

Hi there, Last month I finally submitted my sponsorship application and my spouses immigrant application for a Family Class visa. I have a few questions at this time - anyone with experience, your input would be invaluable. 1) My wife and I are planning to come to Canada in mid September - I...

Thanks for the help Rob, I will go that route. The translating house is also telling me the same thing and it seems logical. Cheers to everyone for the input.

The online step by step guide is in the link in my OP. Sounds more and more like only non-English documents need to be notarized. ROB - I am assuming yours were just photocopies? And it was okay? If thats the case then I will just do the same!

Hi all, thanks for the replies. Yes, the guide in PDF format does make mention of photocopies being fine as well as certified copies. However the online step by step guide simply says 'certified true copies' and doesn't specifically say whether this applies to copies for translation material or...

Thanks for the reply Rob. :D Not to be a doubting Thomas but can you elaborate slightly on how you know this for sure? Did you send your application in using just regular photocopies and it was accepted? Or did you read a different set of guidelines on the CIC website? Would really just like to...

Hello there, I have a question about copies, certified copies, certified translations, etc. I hope someone here can clarify this for me a little bit. On the CIC web guide found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#overview and here...

Thanks for the information. So its just my wife. And I will contact the panel physician and see if they take photos or not. If they dont I will have some extras taken at the studio as per the Immigration requirement specs. Thanks again J

Hello again I could have sworn I asked this somewhere before but I cannot find the topic. Maybe I didnt. If I am repeating myself here, I apologize. In the Japan-specific guide 3913 it says 9 photos for each of you and your family members accompanying and non-accompanying. We have no...

Thanks for the response. Yes a letter of employment for the period you are out of Canada would help establish your non-residency and therefore alleviate you of the need to file and/or submit Option-C. Update to this thread: Found the answer myself, and there doesnt seem to be anyone else here...

Hello there I am a Canadian citizen sponsoring my Japanese wife. I understand I need to include the Option C printout available from Revenue Canada in my sponsorship package. I have lived outside Canada for the past 6 years or so in Japan. Obviously, I have not filed recently as I have not...
