Principal applicant is the applicant, not the sponsor. Doesn't really matter which party is making the payment though (where it says "Authorization").

The sponsor should have their own tracker account and the Applicant their own. If it's showing completed on the applicant's tracker then obviously it's completed for the applicant. Sponsorship approval status would show on the sponsor's account only, not the Applicant's. Do you have separate UCI...

When you say Eligibility status are you referring to the sponsor's eligiblity or applicant's?

I think GCMS notes can take up to 30 days to come through.

Good point, thanks. I did ask him to send me a scan of it when it arrives but I'll get him to courier the hard copy to me in UK too.

Thank you, that is sounding a bit more positive for me (I'm a terrible worrier - maybe because I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to all things legally-related and have tried to make sure there are no hiccups with this spouse visa application!). I came back earlier because of stuff I...

Thanks, That's what I'm resigned to now. It's incredibly frustrating when your life is basically up in the air though, basically "between countries". They expect you have close ties to your home country when you make the original spousal application, yet when it comes to things like this you're...

I think it's not uncommon for them to put Background verification "in progress" right from the start of your application being received/acknowledged (maybe because they know it will take a while, who knows?!). Mine was like that anyway. Everything else completed - medical, biometrics, spouse...

I was due to come back mid November in keeping with my 6 month ETA allowance, but had to bring my flight forward to end of September as I had things to attend to in UK, including getting rid of personal effects (basically my flat contents). The whole process is confusing to be honest, I kind of...

Thanks for the reply, Re the passport request and stamping, I believe you can get this done at at any VFS Global visa application centre in the world, it doesn't have to be your country of origin/birth. Which is good because I don't want to go back to UK for just that reason, especially if I'm...

Well it's your choice what you do. Just be aware of the risks and possible consequences. Personally I wouldn't risk it, but it's your life.

It IS written there, you obviously didn't scroll down far enough. I'm not saying you are committing a crime, how you seem rather naive about the whole process of being able to work in Quebec. Quebec has a strict selection process that everyone has to apply for, even if your application was...

Oh forgot to ask, will the fact I came back to my home country before I received the work permit (I had to to sort out personal stuff here and tie up loose ends) be a problem for me re-entering the country, do you think? My original application was Outland by the way, not Inland.

Ok thanks, I was a little confused! And yes I applied for the work permit when I was in Canada. Obviously back in the UK for a while to sort things out here while I'm waiting for a decision on the permanent residency. But this is good because I can go back and work there now while waiting for that.

I'm the principal applicant and my Canadian spouse is the sponsor. So far all that's left of my visa application to complete is the background check/my eligiblity - everything else is complete (medical, biometrics, CSQ (I will be living in Quebec), sponsor approval. I applied for a Spouse Open...

A link the OP should read here... https://moving2canada.com/immigration/quebec/ Further down the page, regarding Express Entry, it states: "Is Quebec a part of Express Entry? No. Quebec does not participate in Express Entry. In fact, if an Express Entry applicant indicates they have the...

I suspect very much you won't be allowed to work in Quebec because Quebec has it's own process for selecting people. You have to get a Certificat de Selection du Quebec and that's another (separate) application in itself (plus they have a cap on how many people they select each year). Why did...

Big age gap between myself and my Canadian spouse but it was accepted. I don't think they care about age difference so long as you can prove the relationship/marriage is genuine.

I've just received confirmation of my Open Work Permit which I applied for when I was with my spouse in Canada from May to end September this year (he is the sponsor, I am the principal applicant). My original length of stay was meant to be until mid-November but I had to come back early for...

It's probably good to include photos of social occasions other than your wedding otherwise it may look a bit "staged" if all just wedding pics. I included a mix of pics in my application, only about 8 of the actual wedding and party. It shows you have a relationship that has lasted a while...
