Re: Maximum length of visa extension I don't think there is a maximum - but yes, 12 months is allowed. You can explain in your visa extension request that you're asking for 12 months to be able to become CL and later on apply for PR, and make sure that you include enough information about how...

You can pay for your wife, it doesn't matter - you're a couple :-) You can pay through CIC website, just choose the "pay inside Canada" option. Although your file is already in Singapore, the payment can only be made to Mississauga. Pay through the website, and then email the receipt to...

Medicals are valid for 1 year, the 3 month rule is for Police Certificate. So - you can send the application with the medical. and hope that you get the PR before the 1 year expiry. London processes some files fairly fast, so you might not have to re-do a medical, and they can also extend it in...

welcome to the forum! in my signature you will see a spreadsheet with the timeline for applicants going through London - a lot of them are done much earlier than 10 months indeed. Proofs of intents: letters from friends, copy of emails where you're discussing returning to Canada, moving...

COPR : Confirmation of PR, a piece of paper that you signed in front of a border officer when you landed. There it should say "conditional PR", and mention a Condition 51 if it applies to you.

Indeed - it's only for the sponsorship part, and you don't need to worry much - most sponsors are approved, and you wouldn't have been denied without them asking for more documents if needed - so unless you don't qualify to sponsor your husband (because of criminal record, not being part of the...

did you receive your COPR already? if it applies to you, it will be written on the COPR. Sweden

There is a New Delhi thread, you will probably get more information there, but in general - nobody can tell you how long it will take, as some cases are faster than others. In process from 11th November - means that somebody has started looking at your file and working on it, so in general...

If your husband is the father of the kids, they might already be Canadians, so then they wouldn't need to be sponsored. If they're not Canadian, then yes you would have to apply for an extension for each I suppose - $75 for each extension. to extend, you can wait until the end of the 6 months...

you can report her for fraud to CIC, explaining when she landed, where she lives, etc. but there are very few chances that CIC will do something about it. However, it will put a note on her file, and if she tries to sponsor another spouse (in 5 years, as for now as a sponsored spouse she can not...

Congrats - and about time!! welcome (officially!) to Canada! glad it's over for you. Sweden I'm not sure that they will be able to really locate your application. Could you get your mail forwarded for a month? CIC will likely approve your sponsorship part quite quickly, and most likely you...

I would assume that it's your wife that has the 2 copies as she is the principal applicant, and her son should be as dependent. One copy has her picture most likely - that's the one she will leave with the officer once she signed it ( do not have her sign anything in advance, she should only...

that rule only applies if you have applied after the 25th October 2012. If your application was received before that date (application received by CIC, not approved by CIC), then it doesn't apply to you. Your wife can threaten to divorce you and deport you if she wants - but she can only...

the application package goes out as one - so unless you have all the documents for your husband filled out and ready to go, you have to fill out your part, send it to him, he adds his part then sends it to CIC. If the rest of your application is already completed, then no worries - you can send...

It's normal - it only means that the paper on its own is not enough to travel with - you need a visa in passport (or visa-exempt nationality). So - all good :-) Questions are very basic: are you still married? + ID questions ( name, date of birth etc.) + address in Canada ( to be able to send...

If you're a Canadian citizen, and legally married to your wife, you can sponsor her. If you want to start now, you can apply outland. If she has a visa valid for more than a year, you can ask that your application is processed by Ottawa - CIC might still decide to send it to Islamabad because...

There is a Nairobi thread and a spreadsheet, but not necessary very up to date. I recall seeing on this website some couples that were done in 3 to 5 months in Nairobi, but there aren't many cases of sponsoring siblings - most cases are spouses, so it would be difficult to get an estimate. But...

Grattis! very glad to hear it's coming to an end for you :-) Sverige :-)

He can be in Canada on a student visa, and that won't affect his application. The "outside of Canada" part refers to where the application is processed, not where the person is, so that's not an issue. The only possible issue would be that he will need to send his passport to Nairobi to get his...

Welcome to the thread! Since your profile says that your file was transferred from Islamabad to London, I'm assuming that your wife is from Pakistan (or Afghanistan), hence non-visa-exempt. You can see from the spreadsheet that applicants from non-visa-exempt countries wait usually a little...
