    ****SEPTEMBER 2018**** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Thank you so much :) And congrats on your COPR! I was wondering something, recent changes and opportunities have made us decide to move to Calgary in stead of Toronto. So we will be landing in Toronto and visit our friends for a few days, then jet off to Calgary. My COPR says that I plan to stay...

    How We Compiled Our Spousal Sponsorship Application - 2018

    Hi, we are not really selfie people so we did not have any. That being said, I dont think it matters. But about half of our photos were with friends and family, to show that others support our relationship as well.

    Thanks! Yes I would also love to end up in BC or Alberta for the scenery, all depends on where the jobs are as you have mentioned. Regarding your COPR, it will be valid for exactly 12 months since the date your medicals were passed. For example, I passed my medicals in March, so my visa expires...

    From another post: "The only people eligible to be sponsored by your husband, and so to be listed on IMM0008, are you and any of your "dependent" children who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Only those people included on IMM0008 are required to undergo medical and...

    Hi! Glad I could help :) Are both of you in South Africa? Okay so regarding medicals - you will get a medical request after your application has been transferred to the visa office in Pretoria, if you are also applying family class. So you can wait for that. Only your dependents (i.e...

    Thanks, the interview I am speaking of is the landing interview. I saw a few posts regarding landing interviews, but I assume those are only for applicants who are already in Canada.

    Proof of sponsor's intention to return to Canada???

    Just thought I'd pitch in my experience. For those of you who have not seen my thread, I gave detailed info of what I initially sent with my application. We sent 100 pages of proof of sponsor's intent to return to Canada. This included anything from shipping quotes, to job applications (even if...

    ****SEPTEMBER 2018**** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Hi all, hope you are well. I just wanted to ask, is there anything that we need to receive after CoPR? We are outland so I assume no other interviews or anything left for us while in South Africa? Got my passport and CoPR back last week, paid my ticket with Emirates yesterday and flying 15th of...

    Hi, if you are in Canada now, just send all the proof of what you have. The officer is correct, the onus is on you BUT if you are back in Canada and you can explain that you had to leave for a valid reason, then it would be fine. It is very important for them that persons who apply to sponsor...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Hi, I might be wrong but I think you can do it like that yes. As long as you remain in Canada, since you are only PR and not a citizen yet. VIP members might have a better answer for you, so don't just go on what I say, but I think you can sponsor her from inside yes. Not sure whether the...

    TIMELINE

    Very strange. I would definitely raise a CSE or phone the call center. You can also request notes. Have you checked the June outland thread, anyone else there who has not received sponsor approval yet?

    Hi all, just an update: Logged into GCKey this morning: "We're done processing your application." Application status is approved and the details regarding my counterfoil visa is also at the bottom of the page on my GCKey.

    Applications processed in Pretoria

    You can expect passport request roughly at the end of April if all goes well. They take about one month between medicals passed and PPR. I will update here once I receive my passport back, as far as I understand that is the last step. Then I just need to land in June and sign the COPR.
