I believe that is the "landing letter". Even though they call it an interview, it's not a interview about your relationship. They have made the final decision to grant him permanent residence, the day you go will be the day he becomes a permanent resident. The only questions they'll ask is...

Liz- Have you received a letter from the local office yet? If not, why don't you just call the CIC call centre to confirm that this is the completion of the application, and that you/partner will be landed soon? 1-888-242-2100 -Press 1 every time you hear the answering service, do this 4...

Most likely good... You will most likely get a letter from the local office saying the principal applicant needs to come for an "interview" with photos, landing fee (if not already paid) and travel documents... this is a landing appointment. How long ago was your application submitted?

Re: Imigrating to Canada as same *censored word* spouse with HIV I completely agree with ariell and whoopi- you are "excessive demands exempt" when being sponsored by your spouse. Of course HIV will show in the medicals, but I personally know people who have "passed" their medicals with HIV...

I also have a question on this topic, and maybe Ranes can help me out with what he put on his application. On IMM5490 (Sponsored Spouse Questionnaire), questions 7 & 8, the first being, "prior to your spousal relationship, was your sponsor... related to you or any of your family members?", and...

The "approval in principle" is more commonly called the First Stage of Approval when it comes to inland apps. If all things are "normal" in a spousal app, it will normally take between 6-7 months. If there is a complication, or something missing, it will either take longer, or be forwarded to...

Gemini- The "Decision Made" is most likely that he reached the FIRST Stage of Approval, the letter for him just hasn't reached you yet. "Decision made" can mean many things on e-cas, like the medical has been received and ok'd, and so on.

Okay, there's a lot of confusion here about getting married in Canada. Nyssa- if you are getting married in Ontario, I can tell you these things FOR SURE: 1) When you are married, the person marrying you will give you a 1/2 page called "Solemnization of Marriage". This is NOT your marriage...

I don't think he's approved. If he was approved, he would have got a letter from Vegreville saying his partner was approved as a sponsor, and he can apply for an open work permit/study permit. There is some reason that the local office is processing now. It would have also said on e-cas that...

You're still in the normal processing times. I'm guessing you'll get a letter within the next couple weeks, judging by the timelines most are experiencing now. You will probably see something on e-cas soon that a decision has been made, and a letter has been sent to your address.

Yes, I knew you were talking about inland. I just feel that there's so much in this forum about inland apps... Anyways, I sponsored my spouse from inside. It was completed (he was landed) within 10 months of submitting the application. I also assist people in submitting these applications...

You need to be more specific about what kind of "insight" you need. Many people on this forum have done sponsorships from inside... Read the guide carefully, fill the forms thoroughly and include everything (that is applicable to you) listed in the Document Checklist. Include lots of...

elfut- Your work permit application would have been processed at the First Stage of Approval, but it seems your application was forwarded to the local office before this, and you have not yet reached that First Stage. You will have to keep renewing your visitor record, on the grounds that the...

You should definitely use settlement services- it's free and the people are normally very experienced in all immigration matters. It never hurts to have a second critical eye look over the application.

Of all the things to stress about, this isn't one of them. I have send hundreds of applications with a combination of staples and paperclips. I have never once seen an application returned, especially for staples.

No, you can't. The only category your wife's cousin could *possibly* call under is: * another relative of any age or relationship if none of the above relatives could be sponsored, and you have no other relatives who are Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act or...

There's no straight/sure answer for this one. You admittance as a visitor is totally up to the officials at the airport. I know of people who have been questioned about their criminality at the airport, but still were admitted. Some were strictly told to bring documentation the next time they...

Yes, SS, your case will be heard in Toronto.

lonelycanadianwifey- Isn't your application to sponsor already submitted to the Kingston office? First, I don't think they will approve a visitor's visa to a young guy from Jamaica with no special reason to come to Canada except to visit friends. I am only saying this from what I have seen in...

Marlena- I think it would be crazy to send 1000 phone cards. In the application where they ask you to include any additional information that you believe would help to prove your relationship is genuine and continuing... tell your story of relationship, and write that you stay in contact over...
