    Dependent Application help

    I am not sure if they do forward everything. If you kept copies of what was sent before attach those and provide additional statements if you can. Better to give them more so they cannot delay or cause you problems.

    Dependent Application help

    My advice would be to send in your bank accounts showing substantial savings. The reason why NDVO is asking for your income information is to ensure you can support your family here, if you cant prove that you have savings/family financial support, and job prospects, they have a right to deny...

    There is not 1 simple answer, a lot of factors are taken into account by CIC. Although there is no income requirement for the sponsor who is sponsoring a spouse, with a $0 income application your husband should write an explanation letter that his residence in the Phillippines is temporary...

    ENGLAND - Is Common Law the right application for me?

    On a side note: What a lot of sponsors/applicants don't understand is that CIC can refuse a spousal application even if the relationship is genuine. IRPA was changed, to a 2 prong test meaning that they can refuse based on either one of the following: 1. relationship not genuine; OR 2...

    ENGLAND - Is Common Law the right application for me?

    Graihn, you should be ok, as you did not claim common law under your PR application before you applied for your second IEC. Additionally, you did not rush the application, you could have stretched your first round of co-habitation by a month or 2 on a visitor visa just to get the status, but...

    This makes it a little tough, because if CIC is made aware of this they can decide that you are claiming common-law to acquire status (under section 4 of IRPA). So in your situation, best thing to do is join your finances, open a joint account now. Your girlfriend can still file a correction...

    ENGLAND - Is Common Law the right application for me?
