Yes, he must provide a police check and physical. All dependents are required to do so. Please note the document checklist: it clearly states that the principal applicant and all dependents (whether accompanying or not) are required to submit a completed Schedule A, a police certificate...

The child who is 21 and who fits the definition of a dependent will need to fill out and physically sign his own form. He will also need to provide a PCC prior to you re-submitting the application. (Double check that you are using all the most current versions of the forms and checklist.)...

Yes, that is correct. For strong, non-complicated applications, they do tend to process faster in general. There is still no set timeline for the processing of any application except that most are processed in an average of 12 months.

It is to distinguish between a police record obtained by the individual for purposes of review, versus a background check obtained by authorities in the cases of ruling you out for potential employment or to obtain a professional license, for example. It's to specify that you requested the...

1. Yes you can marry after you land as a PR. As long as you are not married or common-law prior to your landing then there is not an issue. 2. You are not obligated to declare your marriage to IRCC except within the application for your wife's PR. 3. She can remain in her home country while...

You must satisfy all the conditions on the checklist in order to avoid sending more proofs of relationship: that you have been married at least 2 years, that you reside together, that you have at least one child together, and that it is your first marriage (7a-7d on the checklist). Otherwise...

1. No. Biometrics are not currently required for US citizens, although the CIC's requirements are always subject to change. He will, however, have to submit fingerprints for his police check to the FBI. 2. Interviews only occur when there is a suspicion that the relationship is not...

Print the form off and then literally sign beside the printed name with an ink pen.

1. Average processing times for most applications is 12 months. You are still within that 12 month period. 2. You are an outland applicant and therefore are not eligible for an open work permit.

1. Unless the border agent has a reason to grant a lesser amount of time for the stay (which is unusual), then yes, you get 6 months to stay. 2. He can stay in Canada and then file a visit extension once his current stay is nearly up. Recommendation is to file 30 days before the 6 months...

That is called a "soft landing" and is definitely fine.

Decision made here is sponsor approval. It's not unusual not to get an email, but you still might. You should be receiving medical requests sometime soon.

I believe this article might answer your questions. Please note that this confirms that the OWP program is for inland applications only. https://www.cicnews.com/2016/12/ircc-confirms-extension-open-work-permit-pilot-program-sponsored-spouses-partners-in-canada-128747.html#gs.06TS7TM

No, I mean that you should answer each question honestly as it's presented. If the answer to a question is no, then put no. If he was in jail for 2 months, then on his job history you put during that 2 month gap that he was incarcerated. On his address history, you should include that address...

You should answer the questions on the form exactly as they are stated. The CIC will be privy to your sponsor's arrest record, and having a criminal record will not disqualify him from sponsorship. They want to know if the sponsor is incarcerated currently, or if they have been convicted of a...

Yeah, I sent it via webform and followed the instructions they sent me on the request letter (select Sponsorship, not doc replacement, etc.). I wanted to avoid webform because it seems that they aren't able to keep up with it in a timely fashion so I had waited from the 11th to the 28th hoping...

I was sent a request for an updated Schedule A on June 11 and was unable to upload on GCKey because it never prompted me to upload the doc/no doc request. I contacted them via 2 webforms--the first one was answered nearly 4 weeks later, and did nothing but direct me to links in the help centre...

1. Everything you are describing is totally normal. You are in the background check phase of the application, which takes the longest. It's ok, don't worry. You're well ahead of schedule. You won't hear anything from them at all during this part. 2. Sometimes they are slow to update...

Border agents do not issue work permits at the border.

As an outland inside Canada applicant myself, my app was received in May. I've already had AOR1, AOR2, SA, BCG started, already had meds requested and completed/submitted, all in June. So, my application is moving vastly faster than yours. Editing to add: It clearly states on the CIC...
