I am still thinking this on the positive side: 1 - you applied this year, they still haven't passed the applications from june 2015 (according to the members on this thread/forum) 2 - this could be request for further documents. I am not sure what you have sent with your application initially...

Here is the information: "In Canada, individuals may be required to have a criminal record check (also known as Background Check, CPIC, Police Clearance, Criminal Background Check, Police Clearance Certificate, Police Check, and Police Records Check) ..." Source...

Yes, The police certificate is issued after doing the criminality/security check of the person. This is why it requires to submit a police report from all countries a person has lived in. I did say, "It is the criminality check for all parties involved in the sponsorship"

Like I said "For example"...

Background checks are for the sponsor and for the sponsored person. It is the criminality check for all parties involved in the sponsorship. For example for the person being sponsored, the Police Certificate.

When did you do your first medicals? If it is expired, they do not specify that it is expired; simply they will ask you to do your medical. Normally they will send you a previously completed Medical Exam instructions form with your name, UIC, App # etc. But this depends on the visa office. You...

When they asked for the additional docs, did they give you a time frame to submit by? and did you submit it within that time frame? Also, when you sent the additional docs did you send them via a traceable method (i,.e DHL, FedEX..etc)? This probably mean that they didn't get the documents...

So far from the colombo office no visas have been reported on this forum. Several had interview dates scheduled in the coming days. Currently the Colombo processing time is 16 months, since yours has been only 11 months, yours should be not far along.

It is up to you what you disclose and not. I only wanted everyone to know such questions exists and be prepared. Because, My husband was asked about his previous relationship(s), and mine. That doesn't mean we both had other relationships or not, it all means they can ask.

Agreed! This is what i said earlier, when it comes to immigration do not leave any stone unturned because they will. Better to get to know your partner above and beyond the "normal" relationship procedures.

Point is you are being truthful for all questions that are put in front of you by immigration. As I mentioned before there shouldn't be any gray area for them to have any doubts.

I don't consider 1/2 interview is a long or hard interview for a South Asian Country;Some have interviews that runs over 2 hours. . And we asked for an interpreter just to be on the safe side. (I recommend that to anyone whose English isn't the first language). Without interpretation the...

Wait time does not change, After Federal SA approval file gets transferred to the Visa Office. Quebec process your app in the meantime, and there is no impact on the processing time of your file; except the additional cost of the $275 for the spouse and $110 for each dependent.

Each other must know everything about each other. There is no stone un-turned. In a normal situation there can be gray areas where one thinks it isn't my business to know about his/her past. But when it comes to immigration, no exceptions; must know everything. The VO asks these questions to...

There is no minimum income to sponsor your spouse, as long as you are not getting social welfare.

No he didn't in either of those countries; but I doubt this is true, makes no sense.

Ok, We have sent all similar documents to yours in the initial application. They didn't have to pause and wait for the docs. A coloured copy of his NIC back and front, his travel history, his visas etc we sent the whole pile. So, no worries. it is only a slight delay due to the pause for...

What were the additional docs, if you don't mind me asking?

Be positive. They probably haven't decided at all. They ask to bring passport because that's what they scan at security to let inside. When we applied in August, we sent everything (all documents) pertaining to the file. They never had to request any additional documents till after the...
