    Sponsoring my Japanese wife

    Just my opinion but if I were you I would get a new koseki showing her status as married. Koseki is a required document so IRCC will question why you've submitted something showing her status as single if in fact you are actually married. The whole basis of your sponsorship is spousal class. I...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    How did you get a Japanese police certificate without proof of why you need it, like a letter from IRCC?

    Sponsoring my Japanese wife

    When you registered the marriage at the Japanese embassy, there was no requirement to create a new koseki? Do you know the name (in Japanese) of what your wife actually did there? Are you also legally married in Canada? I'm not an expert here (just learning from having a Japanese wife too) but...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Sorry to hear - is restoration of status possible? Or has he been out for a long time? I wish you all the best in getting this sorted out, sure it's not easy. I hope you'll be able to get good guidance on how to proceed.

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Did CBSA say why the inadmissibility order was issued? Surely they have some reason which they disclosed to you. Knowing more about why this occurred could help people understand the likely implications of your pending application. Depending on the reason, it may be worth consulting a lawyer to...

    Do I include my sponsor on General Application Form under question "Dependents"?

    @Ponga : did this end up getting returned to you? Just realized we did the same thing on our IMM 5406 as you did here!

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I'm a Canadian citizen by birth and have never sponsored anyone or received any Canadian visa. Maybe I can call IRCC to see if I have a UCI?

    Thanks - how do I get sponsor UCI if we don't have AOR yet?

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    When your app got returned did they just use regular Canada Post to send it back? Or one of the couriers like UPS or Purolator? Beginning to wonder if our app is going to be sent back. We realized too late that we made some errors and app was received Nov 22...a bit long to have not gotten AOR yet.

    Was your UCI from a previous application? Or did you call IRCC to get it?

    Question about in-land OWP application after the fact

    I'd be sure to send a letter of explanation with your application number. My wife did the same thing and this is what IRCC advised when I phoned them - note you need to send the OWP application to Edmonton, not Mississauga. The actual address is on the CIC website, the one that includes Station 777.

    HELP NEEDED: Forgot to pay OWP fee

    Could you apply online to extend your wife's visitor status, thus giving her implied status while you wait to see if your application is returned? If it is returned you'll be in the queue for extension with implied status and can resubmit. If your app isn't sent back and you get AOR, you can...

    IMM 5406 translation required?

    Thanks that is a good suggestion - we have her application number so even without AOR, they should be able to associate the updated form to the PR application. We'll also send a hard copy by courier just in case. Not sure if this is calling attention to the mistake but seems they will likely...

    IMM 5406 translation required?

    We just realized that we forgot to translate into Japanese my wife's family member names on our IMM 5406, despite the form stating original names in their languages should also be written. No idea how we missed this - anyone have any experience with such an error? Will whole PR package be...
