Thanks for the advice everyone. What you have confirmed is what we suspected; that the visa is temporary until we arrive in Canada, and there they will give him his PR card. Good luck to everyone else! Our process has come to an end, thank God, and now we look forward to our new start in Ontario!

Just last week my husband finally recieved the final "ok" from the Paris office. We have to be in Canada by November, 09, however we are a bit confused as to what this means. The letter stated that the VISA that is now on his passport expires in Novemeber. But we applied for a PR. Is this a...

On that note, does anyone know off hand how long you have to wait after paying the Right to Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) to recieve the PR ?

I just wanted to say with great enthusiasm, that despite all the bad things I have heard about the Paris office, our experience has been great. My husband is Portuguese, and I am Canadian, and we are living in Portugal. I applied to be his sponsor for his PR in December of 2008, and was accepted...

Thank you so much for your response. We will follow your suggestions and hope all goes well.

Hi all, I would just like to verify the following. I am Canadian living in Portugal with my husband. I have been approved as his sponsor and we are now waiting for the next step for his PR at the Paris office. Due to some family issues, we need to travel to Canada within the next 2 weeks...

I am sorry if this is a repeated question but here is my situation. I am a Canadian, living with my Portuguese husband in Portugal. We have applied for his PR, and it has been "in process" in the Paris office since Mar. 09. Due to some family issues, I am hoping to make a one-week visit to...

I just wanted to update those of you who were kind enough to respond to my post, and also anyone who may be in the same situation as me regarding the Paris Office. I have just received in the mail today a confirmation of my application. Thank God! The letter basically states that they have...

Thanks for the direction. I believe that Paris does send the Confirmation letter because it is stated on their website. I hope so anyways. If not, this is extremely frustrating, because for all I know, something could have happened to the package in the mail, and then I have to wait 6 or so...

I am a Canadian Citizen currently in the process of sponsoring my Portuguese husband for his PR. We have sent in all the information, and my Sponsorship status has been approved by the Mississauga office. They, in turn sent the application to Paris to be processed. However, that was in the...

Except I am not sure it is where I am signing from, only because it gives only option for city, and then PROVINCE, and considering I am doing an out of country sponsorship....it doesnt make sense to have only an option for PROVINCE as opposed to country. Any other advice, anyone?

I have a question about the "Application to Sponsor and Undertaking" form. At the end of the form (part J of page5) where I must sign, it also has a space for "city/town" and one for "province". I am unsure exactly what I should put there....I am sponsoring my husband from Outside of...

Super. Thanks so much. Just one more question regarding the medical. It is my understanding that as a Spousal Sponsorship that my husband must have his Medical Exam done before we send in the application. Correct? If so, does the Designated MD have the needed forms and fills them out at the...

I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my husband who is from Portugal. I am living with him in Portugal and so we are considered Out of Country application. I am reading the Sponsorship guide and it says "You must send your sponsorship application together with the application for immigration of...

I am a bit confused about who is considered "family" for the medical exam. My husband is applying for the PR, so obviously he will get the medical. I understand that I, as a Canadian, do not need one. My husband´s immediate family is his parents, and his one brother. None of them are coming...

Thanks, For anyone else looking for the same information, I have now found it on the Government website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/dmp-md/medical.aspx

Hi, I am a Canadian Citizen living with my husband of one year in Portugal. We have decided to move to Canada. We have almost all the documents in order, we are just missing his Medical. However we have some doubts. 1. The medical form is in English, and few doctors here speak English. Do we...

Thank you so much for your response. I have been trying for months to find an answer as clear as that. I believe for us it is good news, because I am a Registered Nurse and my husband is a Computer Programmer, both of which are jobs in demand in Canada, specifically our area of Ontario. Just...

Greetings, I am a Canadian Citizen, and my husband is Portuguese. We are currently living in Portugal, but want to move back to Canada. We got married in Ontario, so our marriage is legal there. I am afraid if I sponsor my husband personally, that I will at some point have to go to Canada to...
