Where questions are greyed out and don't allow input it is because you are not required to answer that question. That form is generic and different fields will become unavailable depending on answers to previous questions. So, in your case that question is irrelevant (it was for me too). Ignore it.

Each question is requiring slightly different information and each one requires its own answer. The question about visits only wants info on the visits. In your development of relationship answer you can mention visits in general and say something like, "for details see Q.number" and then give...

Don't be concerned about it. CIC often doesn't update ecas and there doesn't seem to be any consistency about this. We didn't get an acknowledgement of receipt (many people don't) nor did we get any updates on the website for a long time. The first notice we got that sponsorship was even being...

The published processing time is the time within which 80% of applications are processed and completed. 20% of applications take longer. The key words here are "time within". So, an application may be processed in months, a year, two years, or more but 80% will be done at some time from about...

About forms that are not applicable to you... take guidance from your country-specific guide and the online guide that takes you step-by-step through completing the forms. If the checklist and/or guide says you must complete a form but the form is not relevant to your situation, then I recommend...

Yes. We knew that we needed proof that we were going to return so we got everything together before we sent the application in.

Don't forget the copy of your receipt for the fees. I think you will find this process easier if you remember that YOUR application is the sponsor's side. Your partner is the applicant. These are essentially two separate, but overlapping, applications. It's easier to keep track of which forms...

Where it asks for his phone number on the forms he must give his current phone number. If CIC need to phone him for any reason (they might do an interview by phone, for example) then that number is the one they need. His old phone number is only relevant to your relationship evidence. If you...

It sounds like you are trying to put all this right miccanada. Try not to stress too much - what'd done is done and the important thing is to get it cleared up asap so you can proceed to a PR application without having this hanging over your heads. I presume her IEC visa went through...

In our case, the sponsor (Canadian citizen) had been living outside of Canada for around 18 years. We included letters from family on both sides saying they knew of our intention to move to Canada, and a letter from someone offering accommodation until we got settled. We researched jobs, cost...

You are recommending that he lie for immigration and add more misrepresentation? This is so wrong :-( Proof of a relationship includes many things, not just mail addresses and leases. The friend that owns the basement could provide evidence, family could, other friends could - there's loads of...

It is an offence under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to make a false declaration or to misrepresent a material fact. If your girlfriend had been living with you for several years in a common law relationship, regardless of whether she had hard evidence of this or not, she had to...

Decision Made means a decision has been made. This could be either approval or denial. You should hear from them soon.

Congratulations Westie!!!! Yay! This is great news :-)

It's all back with MICC to sort out. It took a couple of hours on the phone with them, talking to half a dozen different people until it eventually was escalated to a manager. They told us that they only look at their forms, so they hadn't read the letter we sent or at any of the evidence about...

Remember that this period covers the time VO's were on strike. It's not necessarily an accurate representation of the time its taking now. the next update should show times as they really are now that things are getting back to normal. All it means is that, including the statistics for the...

No. You send off the complete federal application (both the sponsor's application and the application for the sponsored spouse). When stage one is completed by CIC the sponsor should, all going well, get conditional approval. CIC will send a letter (or email it if you choose to receive...

Sadly, you are right. Canada is risk-averse where it comes to immigration and disability. In assessing such a situation they will look at various factors, including if the disabled person is part of a family with the ability and willingness to provide satisfactory and permanent financial...

It was until the physcial CSQ arrived. It's been issued in my maiden name. This would ordinarily be correct except that the ministry of justice had already accepted that my legal name is the name under which I married in Quebec and under which I applied. Under QC law if your name changed prior...
