Awesome thanks for the answer canuck_in_uk I just payed the $1040 fee and got my receipt. The receipt doesn't really show anything important other than the amount and the receipt number. Is it normal that it doesn't show what the payment was for? It also does not have my wife's name on the...

Awesome thanks everyone for the answers!!! Outland it is! Just read the fees section on the CIC website and I wasn't aware that I had to pay the fees before submitting the application! As canuck_in_uk stated above I will pay my fees now!! 1. Is there a time frame limit from when I pay the fees...

Thank you Ponga and canuck_in_uk! Your answers helped a lot! I'll have to buy a refundable ticket as we'll most likely still put some more thought into this process... As stated by canuck_in_uk we'll have to rethink which route to take. I am so very torn between which route to take... Being...

Hello, I am a Canadian (born and raised) and am married to a Japanese. My wife has been in Canada, Ontario since January 2015 on a visitor visa. We have had lengthy talks about the spousal sponsorship and have used this forum lots. I have a few questions that I hope can be answered. I thank you...

Thank you so much rhcohen2014 for your quick reply. This makes a lot more sense to me. Thank you so much. On another note, can someone please clarify the "Identity and Civil Status Documents" for the Family Class Japan Specific? It states Since there is an "or" included does that mean I only...

Hello All! I saw this on the CIC website: Since it says I'm assuming it means only Inbound Applicants can apply? However I thought Inland Applicants were already eligible to apply for Open Work permits before this new rule...

Thanks andrew-brit for your reply! Helps a ton!! Another quick (maybe) simple question. Who is considered a family member? If for example in my wife's (the Immigrant) application it states: "Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) - You and each of your family members 18 years of age or...

Thanks for the reply, it was very helpful. So would I be correct in thinking that if I sponsor my wife using the Outland Application but within Canada and we get approved we will have to go to the border and "land officially" to get the COPR? Thanks again.

Hi all!, Would someone be able to explain this to me? I was reading up on Guide 3999 on the CIC website. Whats a Permanent Resident Visa?: Thanks

Hello again! I have a couple more questions regarding the Outland Application. I will be sponsoring my Japanese wife using the Outland application while she lives in Canada. 1. When we are filling out the "Personal Details" section on her immigration forms what address should we put down...

Hello all! Thanks for all your answers so far. I'm in the final steps before finally starting the application. I've just got a few more questions before I will feel prepared enough to start. Background recap - I want to sponsor my Japanese wife to Canada via outland application while she stays...

Thanks AshleyAnne for your reply. Helps a lot, gives me a lot to think about before making my decision. In regards to the "proof of relationship", when sending in emails and letters and such do these have to be translated into English? Conversations between my wife and I are all in Japanese...

Thanks for the reply sophieee I might just do the refundable ticket. I have checked how long the outland process would take and it is less than the inland process. However I do not want to be in a situation where we would be waiting whether or not she would have to return to Japan for an...

Thanks AshleyAnne for your answer. Is there any other way? Would it be possible to buy a refundable return ticket and as to extent her visitors visa once the application is sent in? I just don't want her to have to fly back and forth multiple times if we used the outland application. Thanks

Hello all, After much discussion my wife and I decided to use the inland application. My wife is currently in Japan while I in Ontario. We plan on starting the application when she gets to Canada. What is the best way for her to get to Canada? As in if she buys only a one way ticket will they...

Hello Elena78, Are you referring to the marriage certificate? As far as I know you need the marriage licence to get married. As for the marriage certificate I would assume it would differ by province. In Ontario if you order it online it states: "Certificates are put in the mail within 15...
