IELTS is not required for spousal sponsorship. If your future wife will be able to get a visitor visa to Canada sure you can apply inland and get an open work permit and then wait together these 12 months (approximately) in Canada and your spouse would be able to work as well. But sometimes it’s...

Yes, exactly as it would mean that the processing of application was completed. But again it will all depend on the visa officer to decide if they had to send PPR along with the biometrics request or just PPR alone.

It’s easy to start overthinking everything with this process))

I’m pretty sure those who already got visas in their passports and COPRs won’t need to get the biometrics done as it says on the site that it’s for people who only apply for visas, not for those who already got them...

My husband talked to IRCC agent from call center and they said that VO may ask for biometrics those who applied before July 31st or may not ask...I guess nobody knows for sure yet and we just have to wait and see. My suggestion is that they will be asking for biometrics at the time of passport...

Thanks!

Kiev received my application on April 20th, no updates since then. I don’t know about calling the VO, it might be actually annoying them as they asked somewhere to keep the communication to minimum. Kiev usually doesn’t send AOR 2 by the way. Your line on ecas “We started processing your...

Yes, you definitely need to declare your previous marriage and submit a copy of your divorce certificate with your application. It is very serious.

You can send those forms via webform with yours and your spouses scanned signatures. I think just as long as you let them know about those mistakes and acknowledge them it should be ok.

After you receive your application number send the corrected forms via webform along with a letter of explanation that it was an honest mistake and what exactly did you correct in those forms. Should be no issues.

Hi Wakki. Maybe you know whats the difference between these two statuses under review of eligibility “Your application is in progress” and “We are reviewing your eligibility”? I got this status “We are reviewing whether you meet eligibility requirements” right after Sponsors approval in March...

Some VOs don’t even send acknowledgment that they received an application or started processing it. If you got an additional line in your ecas (for PA) “ We started processing your application on...” it can be considered AOR2 and it means that they received it and most likely started working on it.

I don’t think that you need to notify them about you getting unemployed because it’s irrelevant to spousal sponsorship anyway. At the time of submitting your application you were employed which you truthfully answered in your Schedule A and it was correct as of that date that you put in your...

They don’t take as much time to get but you’d have to demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country and are coming as a genuine visitor with no intention to overstay. The denial rate is high for those visas. There’s a special section on this forum about visitors visa, maybe you’ll...

No problem! I don’t know much about inland applications since I applied from Outland but as far as I know you can apply for a visitor visa to Canada, get married there and submit your application from inland along with an Open Work Permit (OWP). I think it takes about 3 months to receive this...

I don’t know much about express entry streamline, sorry. But when it comes to spousal sponsorship, yes, you can start working immediately once you receive your PR (that’s if you apply Outland, and if you apply inland you can start working even before receiving PR if you apply for OWP along with...

It is not considered a legal barrier. To qualify as conjugal a couple has to prove that it was impossible for them to either get married or become common law (live together for 12 months before applying). Usually its gay couples where gay marriages were not allowed in the principal applicants...

What are your legal barriers to getting married or becoming common law?

I think it’s a bit different for inland applications...I read that sometimes they take longer with the sponsors approval when it comes to inland applications comparing to outland ones. But I think it’s a good sign that they sent you a medical request and you just have to be patient even though...

You can call IRCC call center and ask them about sponsors approval. They might provide you with some information and maybe they just didn’t send sponsors approval email but actually did approve your sponsor...Also in the form IMM 1344 question #1 did you choose “withdraw application” if sponsor...
