Applied for my husband 10 months after marrying, so not quite a year, but almost. Absolutely no problems. We never explained why we took 10 months to apply, and we were never asked. He got Decision Made in 5 months, and had COPR 3 weeks after that. My husband did visit me once more before we...

Regarding living together... My husband and I had been married 10 months when we applied and we also never lived together. Got a positive decision made within 5 months. No interview or anything. If you can provide a decent explanation as to why (especially since you both live in Canada), you...

Not an official requirement. Some people just do it to strengthen their proof of relationship.

One more thing... Where it says, "Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your medical examinations or earlier if your passport or the passports of your spouse or dependant children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date.". Does that only apply if the...

My husband just got his passport request and needs to submit his photocopy to MyCIC since he's visa exempt. He says he does not see an option on his account to upload any documents. Can anyone explain where it's found (maybe he's not looking properly), or if it takes a little for the option to...

Not yet. Decision made on the 16th or 17th. However, because my husband lives in the UK, his application was transferred there from Ottawa after Decision Made.

My husband's visa office was also Ottawa. His application went into background processing (according to the application status) a little over 2 months after it was transferred there. Then it went from Background Processing to Decision Made in about a week (just last week). We applied in January...

I sponsored my husband this year, and we got a positive decision made in 5 months. We didn't have any joint accounts and didn't even explain why we didn't. We did send screenshots of him sending money to my account as some of the relationship proof. Disclaimer: This was our own experience.

Ottawa

My husband got an e-mail to send a scan of his passport 2 days ago and got a decision made today. We were never asked for an interview or anything that didn't seem normal, so assuming it's a positive decision, hopefully.

I am sponsoring my husband. I never received any e-mails from CIC; only he did.

My husband got an e-mail asking for documents on April 5th. Prior to that, he never received any e-mail requesting documents. The e-mail was from a do not reply address and said, "Please reply directly to this e-mail and put application number in the title". It also mentions we have 45 days to...

I'm not working and I just got approved to sponsor my husband. We wrote a letter stating that we would be staying with family expense-free, and that he is saving money to bring/send and plans on working asap after he gets to Canada -- the letter wasn't even notarized. We also sent a bank copy...

I just passed it and I am not even working.

My husband did that, but only today did he notice the section to upload documents. But it says they were required by March 12th and are now overdue. He never got any e-mail before last week requesting documents or anything. I am wondering if he should bother uploading the documents there even...

Applied in January. Yesterday, we got a letter saying we got sponsorship approval and that it has gone to the Ottawa office for further processing -- I'm very surprised it's gone there as he is a Dutch citizen. This letter was mailed on March 31st. On April 4th and 5th, my husband received a...

How much did everyone send as proof sponsor resides in Canada? I sent my last credit card bill with a paid stamp, screenshots of recent debit card transactions that shows transactions in typical Canadian stores like Tim Horton and shoppers drug mart, a couple receipts that show my name, recent...

I finally sent the application package yesterday. We wrote a letter stating that we would be living with family for a while rent free and expense free except personal items, that if accepted my husband intends on getting a job as soon as possible, and that I am now studying x subject to help my...

That's great to know. I guess you just start imagining all possible questions and scenarios in your head when dealing with immigration lol.

I will very soon be applying to sponsor my husband, and there is a thing worrying me. Both me and my husband are European. I've been a permanent resident in Canada since I was 15 years old (moved here with my guardian who still lives in Canada), so I actually consider Canada my home. My husband...
