darumal, it shouldn't be too much longer as long as everything goes well. asimkhan- my husband is from the u.s and he wasn't here on a visa as you are allowed to visit legally for 6 months if you are from the u.s. But you can apply for a visitors visa if you are from another country that needs...

Hi trent, im pretty sure you received first stage approval which means they have approved your sponsor. The PR application will now be processed and soon they will ask you to submit your medicals and background check along with PR fee. Hope that helps!

I wish you the best of luck! I really hope he doesn't have a hard time either. I am sure everything will be okay though, sometimes you get a crappy immigration officer, but they usually let you through. My husband visited me about 2 or 3 times when he was only my boyfriend and he didn't have a...

Hi trent, what you just got is called first stage approval. Your sponsorship is approved. So yes, you can now apply to work in Canada and they will continue to process your application for PR.

When my husband returned, he flew in. Yes he did tell them he was here to see me and yes we told them we were going to be applying for PR. The reason why they had such a big problem with it was because he and I had already been married for almost a year and still had not applied for PR. So that...

Hey Courtney, Im so sorry what the immigration officers put you all through. I met my husband online also and he is also from the U.S. We just recieved PR yesterday after about 11 months. We've been through a similar experience with immigration officials at the border. They are utter jerks, but...

Thank you all so much! :) :)

Also they didn't give us a specific appointment time, just to come Mon through Fri between the hours of 9 and 3. Is that normal?

Hi AMB, we just got the letter from our local office telling us they are in the position to grant my husband permanent residence. They asked for him to bring pictures and passport. Are they going to interview both of us and do you know how long it takes and the kinds of questions they will ask...

Thanks for your reply! We submitted the application Nov 24th 2008 they started processing Dec 24th, we got AIP June 2009, then we had to do the expired medical again which we sent in mid Aug, they thanked us for them in Sept and got the most recent letter today.

Immigration Canada has informed us by letter that our application is complete and that our local immigration center will contact us concerning our PR status. Is that good or bad? We already sent in medicals and everything was received and it's an inland application, if anyone has some insight...

Hi I am sponsoring my husband from the U.S(in canada) and we recently received first stage approval and they requested his medicals, as I assume his first one expired. He completed the exam but I am wondering, is there anything we have to send in? Such as receipts from the exam? We were told the...

My husband and I(he is from the U.S) sent in our in-land sponsorship application Nov 24th, they began processing Dec 24th and today it says on E'Cas that a decision has been made. Are they making a decision on me as the sponsor? Thanks in advance.

Hi, my husband and I applied for PR in December of this past year. We are in process and waiting for a response. I was just wondering, I keep reading about First stage approval on immigration forums, what exactly does that mean? I know we don't have it yet, but I was wondering what it means.

Hi I was wondering about the Option C for spousal sponsorship. If your taxes from the current year aren't completed yet, can you send your notice of assessment from the year before and then send your current one when it is completed as long as you leave a note for the people at immigration about...
