Your husband would still need a visa to go to the U.S. even after being a PR of Canada. He can apply for one from inside Canada.

If you read the requirements carefully, on CIC's website, you will see that only Canadian citizens are eligible to sponsor family members while residing outside Canada. Therefore, given that you are not a Canadian citizen, you would be ineligible to sponsor any family member unless you are...

I don't know exactly what they do, but anyway I'm not sure if you really understand how the visa offices work. Once they do something to your file and move on to do something else, they don't touch your application for some time. For example, my background check took 2 weeks to complete, but...

No, they check eligibility first, because it's the most common reason for refusal. Think about all the cases they handle. They have a lot of applications, so the number of refusals would be considerable, even though that doesn't mean the percentage would be high. It saves a lot more time, work...

Pre arrival services letter means eligibility is passed (relationship genuine). People can still get refused on medical, criminality, misrepresentation or background check grounds. However those cases are more rare, most applications are refused because the immigration officer thinks the...

If it's in English and Spanish, then no. I submitted a regular photocopy of mine, and it's also in English and Spanish. It was okay, I am at the end of the process now.

That is really interesting!

Interesting, thank you for correcting me. Is that for US citizens or for everyone? And, is it only if you get caught? I assume you'd have problems entering Canada as a PR without meeting RO, no?

Hi there, again. 1. His status is considered revoked, because he didn't meet the residency obligations (given he was only in Canada as a PR for 6 months). He would have needed to be in Canada as a PR for 3 years out of 5, if I remember correctly. You don't need to provide any proof, when you...

The minimum income requirement does not apply to spousal sponsorship applications. There is no minimum requirement for these applications.

Arranged would mean that your family, or someone else, picked your husband without you having a relationship with him, that sort of arrangement. The other way around too. I believe it would cause an issue for you, you need to tell the VO about the mistake, and do that as soon as possible.

Wow. Just wow.

By here, doesn't she men the UAE? I think she does.

You could, if this is possible, go to the U.S and cross the border by land, the COPR would be enough to let your husband in. Without a PR the airlines wouldn't let him board a flight to Canada. Another option for you could be asking for a temporary permanent residency travel document, so your...

If you wait until you become common-law to withdraw, it'll be refused by then. Either way, they will know about the withdrawn or refused application. You should expect more scrutiny from CIC, as they are not that dumb to overlook your red flags. You can certainly apply for another extension and...

Usually, 30 calendar days, yes.

That happens sometimes, yes, files are transferred even if sponsor doesn't get approved, when they tick that box on the form. You should order GCMS notes to figure out what is happening.

I honestly don't know what is the procedure now, given that they've transferred the file but you still haven't gotten SA yet. A file being transferred is definitely a good sign, as it is showing it's moving forward. Like Canuck said, if there is an issue with your income, it will be addressed...

lol me neither haha, my brain doesn't work very well late at night or early in the mornings.

Don't worry about the income, for now. If it's an issue at all, it will be brought up later on in the process, and they will give you an opportunity to submit more documents/explanations. Order your GCMS notes to find out why it is taking so long. Other than that, your questions have been...
