Candypam, now that you are married, you could apply again for a visitor visa at the Consulate in São Paulo. Three friends of mine who had their visa denied, tried again after getting married and the visa was approved. Mine was approved as well, but I've never had one denied. :) He should have...

mais87, I could only see mine after 3 weeks they received it. :)

A friend of mine just received the approval letter from CPC-M. She submitted her application on March 12th and the sponsorship was approved on March 26th, letter received on March 30th.

Actually, not necessarily. The portion at CPC-Mississauga will be to check if the sponsor is elligible, if the forms and documents are all included, if there's anything missing, etc. And then send to the Visa Office (since your spouse is lebanese, I assume his office will be Damascus) to do the...

Marlena, this officer was the one at the port of entry? I didn't understand well this part. :) When I was here in Canada for the first time, all the questions they asked me were recorded and they had all my answers. I found it out when I came back to Canada later, after getting married and...

Hi Andy! About the "Details of Family Members": I am on the same situation of your fiance. No children of any age, only parents and a brother, and none of them is imigrating. This part I left it blank. But I added my parents on the "Additional Family Information". I didn't add my brother...

Yes, I did ask it to come back until the beginning of February. But the "deadline" was a month away. We mailed the fingerprints in the end of december, after 3 days went to Toronto with my husband to meet his parents, spent 7 days in there, and a few days days after we were back to BC, the mail...

Mine took 2 weeks, counting with the mail time (from BC to there, and from there to BC). So, I guess it took about a week for them. And I didn't even need it so soon. We mailed the application only a month later. :)

Andy, I did like Leon said. We got married in a 3rd country (U.S.A.). Then, after a while, we applied for my visitor visa at the Consulate in Brazil (I left USA and went back to my country after getting married), and the visa was approved although they said at first they wanted the copy of the...

I didn't translate any of the proofs that were in my native language. But I guess it depends a lot of the Visa Office processing the application. Where mine is being processed (São Paulo - Brazil) they accept in portuguese. Forms, additional pages, letters, cards, police checks, etc. We did...

I can be wrong, but from what I have noticed, sponsors living in Québec have a longer wait than the ones living in other provinces/territories, because they need the approval from the CPC and also the approval of Québec, while the other ones (like me!) need only from the CPC. I have two friends...

As the other ones responded, I saw "Decision Made" in March 5th (the decision has been made in March 4th), but I assumed it was the approval since we were so careful. A week and a half later it showed that my Permanent Residence Status was "In Process" since March 10th. I e-mailed the Consulate...

Hi nguyentu2001! We (my husband and I) started our process this year as well. Application received at CPC-M in Feb. 13th, 2009, opened and approved in March 4th, but I only got the letter a long, long, long time later (March 17th). However, I knew it was approved anyways, although on e-Cas...

Good luck, Lois Lane! :)

Sharon_M, as a proof that we have been talking through Skype (since there is no phone bills, because we didn't call using regular phone) we sent along with our application an e-mail printed that I have received from Skype saying that I paid for more credits to call. I even thought about taking a...

When the officer at CPC-M approve your spouse as sponsor, will be sent a letter to him/her saying that it has been approved and where they forwarded the application to and there will have the Client ID. The Visa Office processing your case will also send to the person being sponsored a letter...

I do not believe any of those will hurt your application.

Only today, March 17th, I got the letter from CIC with the Client ID. The approval was on March 4th, forwarded to my home country, and there they are working on it since March 10th, 6 days after the sponsor approval at CPC-M.

You are right, Welshiess! We can check using the receipt number. I have been using it and that is how I found out our application was approved in Mississauga and already being processed in my home country, although I didn't get any letter from CIC yet.

Any american citizen who intends to sponsor a family member must fulfill income requirements, that is 125% above the poverty line - since every state has its own line, there is no minimum income set for the whole country, it depends in which state the person is living in. It doesn't matter the...
