Thanks Baloo.

My wife’s Permanent residents visa will expire in a few months so she will need to fly to Canada without me, the sponsor. The plan is that she will arrive in Canada, get the Permanent Resident visa stamped and validated at the border, spend a couple of weeks with my parents and return to South...

I got some feedback from the High Commission regarding this question that I meant to share with you all. It is usually required that the sponsor accompanies the spouse when she arrives in Canada as the purpose of the immigrant visa is for the applicant to take up residence in Canada with the...

Thanks greenish. That is reassuring.

Thanks greenish but I'm not convinced now. I just found the sponsors guide. Sponsors not residing in Canada must provide evidence that they reside exclusively outside Canada on the date of giving the undertaking and will reside in Canada at the time their sponsored spouse, common-law partner...

Thanks again. One last question. I'm the Canadian Citizen and I'm the one sponsoring her. The plan was that we would leave South Africa and arrive in Canada together. If she flies to Canada alone, just to get her passprt stamped (PR Visa issued) then returns to South Africa. Don't I need to be...

Thanks SATDXB So she could fly to Canada before the medical expires, get the PR visa stamped and then return to South Africa until we have completed the sale of our house?

The High Commission has just requested my wifes passport, so I’m assuming the PR visa is now nearly ready. The only problem is that her medical was about Feb 2011. We had hoped to have our house sold and be ready to go long before Feb 2012. But things are not looking good on that front. What is...

The first stage of our journey begins. The forms have been sent to Mississauga. I just hope they don't take too long to come back to SA.

Thanks Love_Young , Jen85

So the fact that I'm the sponsor and am currently in South Africa means nothing, all spousal applications irrespective need to be sent to Mississauga?

I am Canadian and currently in South Africa and about to submit my wifes Spousal Sponsorship application. I'll be going on ahead to Canada within the next few months to wait for her and find a job etc. So I guess the application will be treated as an outside of Canada application. My question...

Thanks for the help. This helps a lot with my plans for 2011.

If the application is processed in Pretoria and I return to Canada, would I potentially need to attend an interview in Pretoria?

Hi folks I hope you don’t me barging in on this thread. I’m about to submit my application through Pretoria. I’m Canadian, the kids are Canadian through me and we are just waiting on the Proof Of Citizenship cards. However I need to submit the Sponsorship forms and PR Application for my Wife...

Thanks for the info. Is it possible to start the application in South Africa and then I can move on to Canada by myself and meet her once her application is complete. At what point do I as the sponsor no longer need to remain in South Africa? Thanks

Hello all, I'm a Canadian citizen married to a South African and we are planning to move to Canada. I had intended to apply for my wifes residence visa before leaving SA. I believed it would be quicker and it means she would be eligable to work and have access to healthcare upon our arrival...

I'm currently filling in an Undertaking to Sponsor form to support my wifes residence visa and question 10 asks "when did you become a Canadian Citizen" they want the exact date! I know it was some time around 1986 but can't remember the date. The lamenated card which is a replacement for one...
