Unfortunately, being married doesn't mean a spousal sponsorship is automatically approved. You need to prove that your relationship is genuine. This usually includes having some history together (like previous meetings, and lots of communications etc.) having family/friends know about the...

My girlfriend had all of $2,000 in her name when she applied for her TRV. Granted, I also vouched to provide her financial support for her trip but although I have a good job I only had $4,000 of liquid cash to show in the application. So we showed $6,000 for 2 weeks . . . Perhaps you are...

What was your purpose of visit? Did you have someone from Canada invite you? I don't think the financial support was a problem. $15,000 for 10 days is more than enough, especially if hotel and airfare was pre-paid. Kind of unfortunate that you do not live in the same country as your family...

Sorry, I just read that you are currently in Canada. Hopefully someone else can help you with the answer!

The checklist IMM5533 for spousal sponsorship only asks for the copy of national identity card it if it's listed as part of the country specific requirements and it doesn't come up for me when I search country specific requirements? IMM5589e seems to require it regardless. I am not sure of the...

Does the Common Law application ask for a copy of the Cedula? I know the Spousal application asks for the information on the 'national identity document' (which I assume is the Cedula) but they do not ask for a copy of it to be included in the application.

2.) When applying for an in-land sponsorship submit the OWP application by mail with the PR application. 1) Complete a complete OWP application package including document checklist and requested supporting documentation. If the supporting documentation overlaps with that in the PR application...

Hello, For the spousal sponsorship application one of the supporting documents requested is proof of financial support and/or shared expenses. My fiancee comes from a poorer country and she has been a student for most of the duration of our relationship. Considering a typical monthly salary...

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you would lie. Only mentioning it to be thorough. The job, for one, is a good tie. I would suggest getting a Letter of Employment from the company stating when she was hired, her current position, her salary. I think it's also good if they can write that NAME...

Well that is certainly a clever idea! Exemption – Impossible or Not Feasible Under section R12.8 Designated officers have the discretion to exempt applicants from providing one or both pieces of biometric information (fingerprints and photo), as the case may be, if it is determined that the...

The question regarding 'most recent entry to Canada" also notes "(if not the same as original entry)". In this case, fill out the original entry date, and the most recent entry date is Not Applicable.

I don't know the correct answer to this but it seems to me that when he is requested for Biometrics he should go and let the VAC figure out what to do. Perhaps he will have to endure some discomfort/difficulties in the finger-printing process, or perhaps the VAC will acknowledge the situation...

While there is technically nothing wrong with traveling to Canada on a TRV and applying for spousal sponsorship inland, I have been reading that it's generally frowned upon by immigration/CBSA authorities. My suggestion is to apply again for a TRV for a legitimate short term stay, perhaps 2...

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I am going through the same process and have found the following. 1)OWP Checklist for PR applicant is IMM5556 - Document Checklist Worker (In Canada Applicant). The checklist will identify all the other forms you need but the main one is IMM5710 -...

How about photos? Can you send 4"x6" (the size of a standard photograph).

I am not an expert but I too am planning to sponsor a Colombian citizen. As far as I know, the Colombian notaries will issue notarized documents or "copia autenticada". It is essentially a copy of the original document with the notaries stamp verifying it's authenticity. In regards to the...

Same question, slightly different scenario. During my relationship with my GF she visited Canada on a TRV and stayed in my appartment for 5 months as she attended some English classes. I was financially supporting her and we did not combine our affairs but we were living in a domestic type...

Hello, My GF has previously been issued a Multiple Entry TRV to Canada and on her last visit she attended some short-term English classes. The duration of her studies was 16 weeks (about 4 months) which I understand she did not require a Student Visa for. After finishing her courses, and her...
