Hello Faraz, I don't know if the process differs that much for Pakistan other than the fact that it's not a visa-exempt country, so don't take this as "official" advice, but I'm fairly confident in what I'll tell you below... The first step of the whole application process is, yes, the CIC...

It should just mean any accompanying members that applied with her for PR status....so just her if she's the only one being sponsored. Typically if you just got the PPR and all else is well, you will probably see the "Decision Made" within a month.

Who is "they?" This whole thing sounds really fishy to me...like someone's trying to shake down the OP...

Hi Furch, my apologies for missing you earlier! I've added your info to the spreadsheet.

This is my biggest beef about the CIC site...pretty much everything steers you toward the inland forms even if your spouse is just visiting with you, so it's not intuitive to anyone just dropping in on the site that you can also apply outland -- they never even use the terms "inland" and...

Wow....this totally isn't what I thought the topic was gonna be about....

That's a pretty specific date, but there is this thread here :)

It was over $40000 and under $200000 :)

You can't, but your wife can :) I don't know specifically if she needs the B4 form or not, but there is a section on the CBSA site that talks about it here.

Are you the sponsor or the applicant? In my case, I was the sponsor, and I am employed, so I showed them proof of income (an Option C form which I got from Revenue Canada). Now I know it is often said on this forum that there is no true minimum income required to show CIC when you sponsor, but...

Okaaaay.....let's try and sort this out... There was another recent thread on this very question which I contributed to....against common sense, the CIC actually does defines it as the date the status officially became common-law....so this actually makes it your one-year anniversary of moving...

Looks like you found it, and your info is now there :)

Done! Thanks! When you get your acknowledgement of receipt keep me posted, and the spreadsheet will keep automatically counting the days.

Most definitely :)

Just my opinion here, but to answer the big question on your mind, I do not believe receiving EI for your most recent year will jeopardize your sponsorship. I'm not sure why they don't consider it income (and if you'd be kind as to toss me a URL here that I can go check out the info for myself...

True, but those who do need it also need to know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel...they need that pick-me-up to know they CAN achieve their goals here :) This I'm more in agreement with. Given this is technically an anonymous forum anyways it's not unreasonable to ask, and it's a...

I'd concur with this. They don't just hand out PCC's to anyone and the fact that you have one means you verified your identity with the appropriate authorities in the first place. CIC should have no problem with it.

The marriage certificate is issued wherever you are married. You should hopefully have one from India...and if it is not in English/French you must include a certified translation. For an identity document, a birth certificate usually works. Again, same rules for translation as above. Civil...

If you are sponsoring your wife, and only your wife, then, yes...the total number is two.

My wife ended up putting the actual date she filled out the form...obviously she stayed with me beyond that point but it was never an issue :)
