Hi, they ask if you are providing financial support to your spouse. We live together in her country and we both earn an income so we kind of just pay for everything together. Do we need to provide anything in this situation? or should we still provide something. Thanks!

Hi Guys My wife and I are working on the application. Is it a big deal if I'm helping her with her forms? My English is a lot better than hers so I have to edit what she writes so it makes sense. Also we both remember different details. I'm better with the exact timeline and order of...

Hi, On the checklist, it asks for proof of income if you are self-employed, it says provide evidence of income for the last 12 months. In paranthesis, it states, Statement of Business Activities. 1.) I'm just sponsoring my spouse, so income doesn't matter, but I guess they just want to see...

Thanks! That makes sense. Just be honest and upfront and include an explanation and proof as needed.

I have a question regarding residency as a sponsor: I am a Canadian citizen by birth. I have been living and working for about four months a year in Canada and living for the remaining 7 to 8 months in Colombia. When I am in Canada I live with my parents and in Colombia, I have an apartment...

Thanks guys! Great answers. I guess if there is overlap there is overlap. Probably over analyzing this a bit, like everyone! :D

Thanks for all the great responses guys! Just checked back in here today and was happy to see all the great quality responses....anyways, looks like option number 1 for the win!

Which way do you think is best for organizing the application First Way (which seems popular) - Have three sections, one for sponsor info and required documents, sponsored spouse info and required documents and lastly proof of relationship (photos, chat logs, plane tickets, etc.). I imagine...

My question relates to how to answer some questions on the sponsored spouse questionnaire For exampe: One question says, Describe how your relationship developed after your first contact/meeting and if you and your sponsor dated or went on any outings and trips together. Provide photos and...

Hi everyone, my wife, who I am sponsoring, lived in Mexico for a year, so we need a criminal record check from there. We aren't in Mexico so we have to send the required items into the Canadian embassy there to process them and get the check done. Any idea how long it normally takes to get the...

Thanks for the reply! A few quick questions: 1.) How did you know it was taking 3 months? Do they post this info somewhere? That seems like an incredibly long period of time to wait for a criminal record check. 2.) It says on the CIC Website: If you live outside of Mexico (and you are...

Hi, I'm Canadian and my wife is Colombian. She lived in Mexico for a year several years back so we'll have to do a criminal record check there. On the CIC site, it says that we need to do the criminal record check after we apply and then we have to send the things they require to the Canadian...

On the application forms they ask you to write if you live outside of Canada or not. As a Canadian citizen, I have been living in Canada from mid-August to mid-December over the last five years. I come back and work in Canada. The rest of the year, I've been living in Colombia, where I've had...

Thanks a lot for the help everyone. That definitely helps clear things up! :)

Hi there, My wife is Colombian and I'm Canadian and I'm a little confused about the criminal record checks for close family members. On the cic.gc.ca website, it says: Note: The information you provide in your application about your family members and marital status must be true. You must tell...
