what is your VO?

Hi Michael, I have a friend who received very similar requests that you've experienced. For the first item, proof of residency in Canada - citizenship card, birth certificate, income taxes, letter from employer stating what your job is, how long you've worked for a Canadian employer. If you...

Additional information I wanted to share for those receiving a passport request - primarily from the Manila VO (could also be from other Visa Offices too). This is something you will bring to VFS Global when depositing your passport along with 2 recent within 6 months photos. VFS is very strict...

It really is! The statuses still show in progress even after passport request but when I checked the ECAS under my file, it showed Sponsorship and Permanent Resident Status for my spouse as "Decision Made". I'm thinking once my spouse gets the COPR and visa affixed to her passport, that will all...

Hey @canuser ! Thank you!! It took just over 3 weeks to get it. Yes very excited. Now the shopping of an airline ticket comes next. I have updated the spreadsheet as well as the details are in my signature.

Thanks for the feedback. The appendix B wording threw me off a lot Have you received your passport back? What were your service fees total in pesos for processing?

Thank you so much!! Since I'm in Canada, a photocopy of my passport picture page should be good for her to submit to VFS?

Anyone sponsoring their loved ones outside Canada? http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/spousal-sponsorship-hussen-progress-1.4533439

What you provided is good. What could help a little more is your sponsor has a job that ties him back to Canada. If employed in Canada, a letter from his employer with a company letterhead on it stating his position, how long he's worked for them, etc. If he travels to other countries as a part...

Has anyone had any movement from Manila VO regarding their background checks yet? I only seen a couple somehow get their decision made according to the spreadsheets but the rest are still pending.

Well I hope your appeal will work out and be able to reunite with your husband. Just pray everything will work out.

Oh boy. I'm really sorry to hear that. Well, I'll share with you our story in summary. The immigration can be extremely strict with this one. I married my wife from overseas and what we did was provided photos of different places we went to (you are permitted to submit a maximum of 20 photos)...

You're very welcome! My spouse is through Manila VO as well. Just keep checking your online account regularly. I'm sure the PPR is coming for you!

Oh no! Very sorry to hear. Why was the application refused?
