Thank you for the good wishes. Actually, I've just had an update, though I'm not sure if it's good news as things seem out of order. I received my AOR mid-December and then notice of sponsor approval in the first week of January. I've just received notice that my wife's application has gone...

Absolutely. I do hope when they're researching policy changes to permanent resident application processes, they look to the most active public forum available on this topic (this one) and read commonsense solutions like this. I'm in complete agreement. I was made to wait more than three months...

I hear you and it's unacceptable that there is such a lack of accountability. Why are the steps not more clearly laid out with specifics as to why some cases take longer than others and what is being done every step along the way. The answer, I fear, is because there is no standardized process -...

I feel the same way. It really is a black box, totally unaccountable and seemingly arbitrary. I received sponsorship approval on January 4, and nothing since then. After several tries using different information, I was able to link the application online but it's status hasn't changed at all...

I've successfully linked the account by using the first and last name and passport information, with three as the number of applicants (wife, me, and her adult son who is considered a "dependent" by immigration Canada's definition. It's now saying the following -- which I guess means that...

Thanks! I hope this is the case. My understanding is I need to get the online account connected to be able to upload the medical certificate? Is successfully creating the account contingent on sponsorship approval? I'll take your tip in the second reply about different information to connect...

Thanks for your reply! I'm positive there were no typos but the number of people on the application thing confuses me. My wife is the only one applying for PR status but I assume I'm also counted. I'm not sure about our son who is a Canadian citizen or her son who was a "dependent" (by their...

Hi everyone, After 90+ days waiting for a response to my wife's outland spousal application, I received the acknowledgement of receipt email containing the application number and UCI number. I was unable to link my application online despite entering the correct information exactly. I have read...

Ok. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you. So these statements on documents signed, dated and stamped by the foreign ministry in her country should suffice?

Yes, I think you had mentioned previously that he would need to sign a declaration refusing to take part in the rest of the process, and my wife would have to sign one saying that she accepted this?

Yes, 21, my mistake. My understanding was that we had two options: fill out the documents that are required for dependents, or have him say that he was not participating, and in doing so my wife would not be able to sponsor him, even after she became a PR. Anyway, I think we're going to go...

Hello - I posted previously regarding my wife's 22-year-old "dependent" (in terms of this process) son. We decided in the end to complete all the forms he was needed to complete just on the off chance that he one day does decide to emigrate. Now a police check has come back with a minor offence...

Thank you both. I did not go to the glossary where family members are defined and seem to have misinterpreted that and other things in my initial application. I know now what I have to do and will update and re-file accordingly.

Thanks. They did not include this requirement in the highlighted portions in the documents that accompanied my returned application, but I don't want to take any chances. For the family information (5406) "all other family members of the principal applicant." Surely, this cannot require...

Thank you for replying. Do you mean he needs to do a police check and medical even though he is not going to Canada with the family? This might not even be possible or at least not easily, as he lives and works far away from where my wife is. If you could point me to where this is on CIC...

It was due to an incorrect listing of dependents on the application and not filling out the "additional family information" form correctly. I didn't realize the older children had to fill it out as well, as was explained to me here...

Hi all- I had my family sponsorship PR application returned. The accompanying documentation just provided general information with blue highlighter over the documents that weren't correct. I have to interpret what they mean, so am guessing: 1) Generic Application Form: I think this error is...

Thanks Ayat. Yes, I had that suspicion and now it's pretty concrete. I'll do that, I think. From what I can gather, there is just as much (or as little) chance of her getting a TRV before the spousal PR app is filed as there would be before. So I'm going to re-file the PR, await the sponsor...

Thanks for clarifying.
