Hello, I can share my story. Me and my spouse first met on the internet (2013) and was in a long distance relationship for many years. Over the years, I visited him once and stayed for about 1 month, and he visited me once and stayed for 5 months. We have quite a big gap in age (11 years) and...

Also for you to be successful in your student visa application, I'm sure there is a financial proof requirement as well.

Hello everyone, just posting to share our happy news. We received request for passport yesterday. Wishing everyone else a speedy progress on their application! :) For my timeline, check my signature.

Just to update this thread in case anyone is reading in the future: We drove from Alberta to Montana to do my husband's (USC) biometrics. At the US border, we were questioned as to our purpose etc. As I was holding a non-Canadian passport (Malaysia) but with a 10 year US visitor's visa, I had...

Hi we are currently in Canada so we will have to travel to a city in the US to do it. Our appointment was arranged online as per the ASC/USCIS website.

Hi guys, today we received email about our file being moved to VO. We will take some time to do biometrics and medicals due to the appointment dates that we got are in October, but we are quite happy that the file is moving along. Our timeline below: App Received: July 26, 2019 AOR: September...

Hi guys, today we got more updates. I received the email for sponsorship approval (SA). We also just received the medical instructions. Cheers.

We have made an appointment at the closest US city, although the earliest date available is 2 weeks away. We plan to bring all paperwork including PR AOR as well as extension of stay receipt letter to show at the border. I am nervous about the long drive in October in Alberta but I guess we...

Hi everyone, we received our biometrics request letter yesterday. We made an appointment with the nearest ASC but the earliest date is first week of October. Hopefully everyone else gets news about their application soon too. Cheers.

@Jnicole45 thank you for sharing your experience. We don't think we can wait for his visitor record to be ready. Based on the website, they are currently processing applications from May 2019 and we submitted ours in August. I guess we have to be ready for any situation, but hopefully we will...

Hi, I am PR sponsoring my USC husband. He is already here in Canada with me since March 2019. We applied for his PR and decided to do Outland instead of Inland. His 6 months stay has also expired so we have also applied for extension of stay (visitor's record) and it has been received but is...

Hi, @ATIFALI I am sponsor, my husband is the PA. He is currently in Canada with me but we are applying via the Outland process.

Hi all, just wanted to share good news : Application Received: July 26, 2019 AOR: September 17, 2019 Checked ECAS: "In Progress" on September 17, 2019 Successfully linked the PR application to PA's CIC account September 17, 2019. Cheers and here's to speedy process to all of us here. :)

Oh okay, in that case we will just fill it up and send it in to be safe. Thanks for the heads up!

@Jnicole45 oh one more thing, did you guys submit the Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257) ? I figured this is inapplicable since my husband is already in Canada with me right now, but is my understanding correct? This document shows up on our...

@starnaenae and @Jnicole45 thanks for sharing your experiences, I really appreciate it. I'm going to go ahead and write a letter and say I'll be responsible for his expenses, attach my paystub and employer letter and a little background on our relationship in the Proof of Means of Financial...

Hi everyone, we sent on July 24 and got the postal confirmation on July 26. Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone, Our situation: me (PR) and husband (USC) currently both living in Canada. He came in March 2019, so his visitor status will expire in September 2019 when 6 months is up. We have sent his PR application this month (July 2019) and now we are working on applying for his extension of...

HI PrincessCRV, thank you for your reply. Is it okay to just tell them he is visiting although we are definitely planning to get married and then apply for extension of stay and PR? Is this not considered misleading or lying to the officer? Thank you so much for your help!

Hi all, I am a PR living in YYC and would like to get married to my USC fiance and sponsor him for PR. Based on my research so far, and please correct me if I'm wrong, it should be simple for him to just visit me here on visitor's visa, we get married in Canada, and then apply to extend his...
