There's no income requirement if it's a spouse application. They want the Option C to show the sponsor isn't on welfare. So not sure if the P60 would help at all. I'm sure others have been in a similar position, so hopefully someone else can give you some ideas on what else you can provide.

I'd guess that they do a check for every PR applicant. We found out via our MP's office that they were just waiting on the results of the background check.

The background checks are done by CSIS and not by CIC, so it's out of their hands. All the CIC visa office will get is a positive/negative response from CSIS once the check is complete. As others have said, some are done quickly and others can really drag on. I guess it depends on things such...

We went through the London office and didn't receive anything until they sent out the passport request. London took about 6 months to send our PPR letter, but Trackitt showed some London apps being processed in as little 2-3 months. In our case it was a long time to wait without hearing...

You actually get a document from the DMP (think of it as being like a receipt) when you complete the medical which you include with your application. The actual medical itself though is sent to a regional medical processing centre in London or something like that. Later, when they're...

Wow...I can't believe it takes that long in Ontario! We got married in Manitoba in August last year. After the ceremony, the celebrant gave us the signed copy of the marriage license, because she knew we were in a hurry (we were heading back to London two weeks later). We took the license to...

You get a specific piece of paper back from the DMP on the day. So if by "receipt" you mean the payment receipt from the cash register etc, no. The process is that once the medical is done, they send it to the visa office processing the application. When you send your application, they use...

I don't think you can actually include a letter detailing your case and asking questions. In fact on the actual CAIPS request form it specifically states to only send in the forms and to not accompany it with a letter. I guess it's just an admin person who processes the CAIPS request, prints...

I've heard varying information on how long they are valid for. But one thing is definite...CIC need to receive it within 3 months of it being issued. So it may well last longer (my application took 9 months, yet my police certificate from Australia and the one from the UK didn't have to be...

You better contact your DMP and ask for it. They should have given you what you needed to include with the application.

CAIPS is the computer system they use when processing overseas visa applications. You can order a printout of the notes from the system to see what processing has been done on your application. At the moment it seems to be taking about 4-6 weeks for them to arrive once you order them, so it's...

It varies from person to person. My e-cas changed in December to say medical results received but I only just got a passport request 2 weeks ago (5 months later). Whereas other people have said that medical results appeared on e-cas just before they got their passport request. I don't think...

I'm no expert, but I can't imagine the answer would be anything but "No". Surely only Canadian citizens can get a Canadian passport. And if you're not a citizen by birth you first have to become a PR and after a certain period as a PR (I think 3 years within a 4 year period) you can apply for...

The time it takes a passport to be returned depends on the visa office. You mentioned the High Commission in London. If you get a passport request from London, you can hand it in in person on Thursday's between 2-3pm and then pick it up again 2 weeks later at the same time. No idea about the...

As RobsLuv already stated, if it's a spousal sponshorship, then there is no minimum income requirement. You don't have to prove means at all. It may have been different 3 years ago, but that's not the case now. If the PR goes on welfare during the 3 years though, the sponsor is responsible...

Personally, I'd take it in and just get it over and done with. I'm always nervous about mailing my passport anywhere.

The medical is valid for 12 months from the day it's completed, so that's the only real issue in terms of the timing. When your wife has her medical done, the DMP will give her a copy of the medical form (just a receipt basically...not actual results or details), which you include with your...

Do you mean submit passport? If so, yes that means you were approved.

Take the medical form with you when you vist the DMP. They help you to fill everything out, and the DMP should sign it and give you your copy to include with your application. They'll then send the medical results with their copy to the correct place in London.
