Smoothly?! Ha. Justin, you crack me up. There's nothing smooth about any of this. Really, try to find a contact email on the FBI website, they were actually pretty helpful. Side note: Have you got your medical appointment and results? I know the medical system is very different in the...

Thanks Aquakitty. canadausa#11: We applied August 21 2015. I have a letter stating that I meet requirements for eligibility to sponsor, and that the case is forwarded to CPC Ottawa- but that status still says IN PROGRESS when I check online. (Not entirely sure what SA is, guessing sponsorship...

The wait is awful.. My husband had an issue and there was contact information on the website (he emailed them) and actually got a reply that way.. You may want to try that to see if they received it with fingers crossed. Best of luck.

Hi guys. As I'm sure many do, I check the application status online constantly. (It's like a bad accident, can't help but look!) Today for the first time it changed.. Under the PR status it went from IN PROGRESS to DECISION MADE. Super exciting?! Well.. Even when I click that link there is no...

Agreed, it could make a complicated process more simple providing clear instructions. I keep saying I want to make CIC a new application package when (if?!) we ever finish this. I get this happens on forums, but now I have two different answers to my question. The children are all minors...

Sending an application in for Spousal sponsorship.. The document checklist sends us to the immigration guide.. The immigration guide says we need to send four photos "for each family member of your family and yourself." I really have no idea what that means. My husband (US citizen) has children...

Thanks guys. He DOES have a U.S. Residence and employment. He is in the States 3/4 days a week, then here for his weekends. He doesn't cross to any other country. Still not clear if the extension will do any good.. But sounds like it's worth a shot, as otherwise he may be turned away after...

More questions!! I need help on how exactly to go about applying for an extension for my husband (US citizen) that commutes back and forth from the States. He lives and works there, visits me in Canada (I'm a Canadian citizen), but we are getting our application together to apply for spousal...

Thanks Canuck & Christoph. Super helpful, I had no idea American applications were done through Ottawa. The 8 month estimation is far less daunting than 32!

Haven't even started this process and it's so confusing. The CIC website says it is currently a 62 day wait for my sponsorship application to be processed, then the wait varies on which visa office (which is 32 months!!) Is there any way I can send my paperwork to sponsor before we have all my...

Thanks guys! We were just hoping that would keep options open, but it doesn't look that way at all. we will carry on with an application to get him PR here.

Hey guys, My husband (US citizen) and I (Canadian) would like PR in both countries, can we do both applications at once, as we aren't sure where we are going to live? Any advice?? Thanks.

Hi guys, Still sorting out the best route for us.. My husband (US citizen) and I (canadian) would like to apply for each of us to have PR in each country. Can we have simultaneous applications?? (We aren't sure where we are going to live) :| Thanks.

Thanks again Jalex, He is a US citizen. I guess he has visitor status (I just thought this was an implied visa, my apologies), no passport stamp or other paperwork. He has been traveling back and forth for short trips (weekends, one long christmas trip) since September 2014, but now we have...

Hi guys, Yet another question! My (American) partner is in Canada on a visitor visa.. He travels back and forth to the States a few days a week, so we can't just count the days from when he entered Canada. How do we find out how many days actually remain on his visitor visa? (when I traveled to...

Thanks guys. Jalex, the purpose of the extension is to allow him to stay in Canada with me.. He's been back and forth for nearly six months and want him to stay here during the sponsorship process. Just trying to get as much info through this trying time!

Hi everyone, Always questions. Filing for spousal sponsorship.. (I am a canadian citizen marrying a US citizen in less than two weeks). On the "spouse/common-law questionnaire" form in the application package it asks if we are currently living together. We recently moved to a border town for...

Thanks d_j We are concerned because he travels across the border 3 days a week for work, will the application affect that? If it isn't approved in the 30 days I understand he would have implied status to stay in Canada waiting the decision, but I imagine he probably couldn't commute?

Awesome, great info, thanks. (So nice to hear these similar stories). We are getting married in ten days, (will submit the sponsorship application right after the marriage is legal), so I'm just wondering if it will make a difference if the extension is done before or after.. If one would...

Hi guys, Would it be beneficial to apply to extend a visitor visa before or after we are married?? (US citizen marrying Canadian in Canada) Everything is so touchy, just looking to see what the best option is. As soon as we are married we will be sending in our spousal sponsorship, but not...
