At this point I would start considering the very real possibility that the application is being returned to him. If it is being returned you can expect to see it in the mail soon. They are behind this month, yes, but they are well past April 13 applicants now. There is always a chance it could...

I am the principal applicant. I am currently staying in Canada with my spouse as a visitor. I put my residential address as my address in the US (since technically that's still where I "reside", I am just visiting Canada.) I put my mailing address as my husband's address in Canada (where I am...

In regards to question #2 and listing out all the tools specifically, I have read about people being generic on the form when they have a LOT of the same items (i.e. clothes - instead of saying you have "12 sweaters, 18 pairs of underwear, 29 socks, etc." people will say they have "5 boxes of...

Hey guys, for those of you asking about certified copies of marriage certificates and birth certificates - they ONLY need to be certified if they are not in English and you are attaching a certified translation. In that case, both the copy of the certificate, along with the translation, need to...

My application has been returned twice and that's what happened to me the second time (the mailing address issue). So sorry! It's so frustrating since they don't tell you ANYWHERE in the instructions not to do that. : ( You know what's even worse? When it happened to me, I read about it on this...

Just because someone previously overstayed does not mean they cannot be sponsored as a PR. You can apply to sponsor him outland - you will just need to make sure to be upfront about his previous situation and make it clear that your relationship is genuine and not for the purpose of getting him...

Congrats on the AOR. When was your application received? You can't do the medical until you have the medical request documentation to bring in. But, you can go ahead and do the PCC and Schedule A.

Yes. Your application was received in November. The statement on the website says "applications we've received as of December". Yours was received before then.

Seems like nobody has gotten an AOR1 yet this week. I'm starting to feel impatient... this is my third time going through this wait and I'm so ready to get that email.

Don't worry. Just because OP is sponsoring a US resident doesn't mean they were born in the US. It's very possible they had a birth certificate in another language. Any documents in a different language need to be translated and certified. If your marriage license and birth certificate are from...

Unfortunately you can only call from a Canadian phone number. I haven't tried calling from a Canadian number outside of Canada, but I do know that calling from my US number within Canada did not work. I had to call using a Canadian number, inside Canada.

If you apply outland, you must travel to the visa office where the application is being processed for your interview (if you are called for one). If you do not attend your interview, your application will be rejected. If your wife is unable to travel, you should apply inland so that she can...

Ah, ok, thanks! I knew you couldn't do it up-front anymore, but I figured you could do it once your application was filed. Didn't realize you had to wait for the request. That's annoying!

This would be considered self-employment and would not be allowed, especially if you were shipping your items out of Canada.

With the new application, I split it into two envelopes. The first envelope was everything except the proof of relationship. Second envelope was proof of relationship. I used paper clips to keep all multi-page forms and documents together. I also paperclipped the tiny envelope with my headshots...

Hey there, I could be wrong, but I don't think you have to wait for the medical request to get your medical done. You will have to provide the medical place with your application # so that they can send it along. As long as you have the number to give them, I think you'll be OK... can anyone who...

I think you may be using the old application package, which is no longer valid as of January... you may want to purge everything you have and start fresh with that link I posted (the second link)!

Unless your country specifically has a PCC that has an expiration date of 3 months listed directly on the document, then no, it does not expire.

I'm wondering if you are using the correct checklist. When I pull up the checklist on the CIC site, that form is not listed. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5533E.pdf Make sure you're using this page to find the forms and checklists that apply to you...

Did you never send any emails about anything? Those wouldn't be tied to a phone. I've been with my husband for almost five years, but I was still able to pull emails and messages from Facebook messenger and Skype (and we are also Canada-US and saw each other frequently). If you can't generate a...
