    Spousal sponsorship

    If they request something, send it in the mail. I don't think that any visa offices accept in person deliveries. If you've received PPR, then you're not going to get an interview. You're good to go. Only "interview" left is your landing interview, which is just a formality to ensure that...

    Spousal sponsorship

    As the poster immediately above you clearly said, it takes approx. 6 weeks (45-60 days on average) before you hear anything at all from CIC. If there is an issue with your application and they return it to you, then you won't know anything about it at all until it shows up in your mailbox...

    You need the book, unless the rules have changed.

    incomplete schedule A background check form

    Carefully reread the request letter that they sent with you. They will usually specify if there is a specific time period that they are asking about. They sent me a request to add on an additional 4 months time prior to the history I had listed.

    What is this Decision Made mean?

    Does it say "Decision Made" on the link to the sponsor's application on ECAS? If not, then the application is not yet finished. In terms of when they start actual processing of documents, well....to be honest, it's basically whenever they start doing it. There's not a hard and fast timeline...

    What is this Decision Made mean?

    They put both in process at the point of receipt, but "in process" for the PA's application means that they entered it into the system. The SA will get a decision made, then information will move forward with the PA (med request, any document requests, etc.).

    Common law lease agreement proof

    Witnesses are not required for leases, they are not court documents. As long as the signatures of the landlord and the lessees are present, that is sufficient.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Yes it's very easy. I'd advise paying upfront, as the request for the receipts are part of the checklist.

    Trying to understand regarding misinterpretation - worried

    Family members for a spousal application include the primary applicant and any dependents. They do not include parents or siblings. If you're applying for PNG, then it would apply to the parents of the primary applicant only, not the sponsor.

    BVO-divorce certificate

    If you know the court that handled the divorce, you can contact them to obtain a copy of the decree. This is easily done with a small fee. Your husband needs to contact the court and find out what he needs to do to order the paperwork.

    A few general questions - moving from USA to Canada

    1. Credit works the same in Canada, but you will be starting from zero. They do not recognize your credit rating from another country. 2. There is no one that you are required to "notify" but it might be prudent to contact the IRS, the SSA, or any other pertinent agency to see if they have...

    Worked everything out regarding TRP but now I have another question.

    This process is through the FBI electronic records division. This is a way that is recently begun in order to help facilitate quicker turnaround times for police certificates. I got my prints done by my local Commissionaires office, mailed them in, put in my electronic request, and got my PCC...

    What is this Decision Made mean?

    You will soon receive an email detailing that the sponsorship has been approved/denied (though reading your comments, I'm certain your sponsor has been approved). Once they send that email, then your ECAS will update with a comment stating that they sent you correspondence in regards to your...

    Implied status approval

    The 30 days to apply not to lose status has to do with people submitting status extensions, not applications for PR. If you are a visitor then you only have what status is on your visitor visa and nothing else. You can apply to extend your status if necessary, but an application for PR does...

    Implied status approval

    You don't get implied status just from applying. It takes anywhere from 45-60 days after the CIC receives your application for it to be entered into the system to begin processing. There will be no record of your application anywhere in the records 2-3 weeks from now.

    Worked everything out regarding TRP but now I have another question.

    Follow this process and you'll have your PCC very quickly. They are valid for 6 months. 1. If you are still in the US, then you can inquire at your local police department for fingerprint services, or call your local FBI field office to make an appointment for prints. Prices vary based on who...

    Hello there

    You don't need two separate threads for the same question. Your wife cannot work once her work permit expires. You have two choices: file an extension of her TWP (see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/extend.html) and wait to see...

    How could I sponsor my adult child?

    No, you would not be eligible to sponsor your adult child.

    Spousal sponsorship Refusal

    Unfortunately, based on what you've said, I highly doubt that any appeal in this case would be successful. They simply see that you are not eligible to be sponsored because you have not completed your marriage rites and therefore are not fully married to the CIC. I'd advise waiting until after...

    Spousal sponsorship Refusal

    OK that makes more sense. The CIC does not believe that your relationship is genuine. You have the option to file an appeal, in which case the burden will be for you to demonstrate that your relationship is genuine, and to give LOTS of documentation showing this: letters, chat logs, pictures...
