We received CoPR today! Application sent on March 8th, Decision Made April 28th. Paperwork just came in the mail. Oh Canada!!! :-* :D ;D

I'm hoping our application is straight forward, and yes we have two Canadian children together. The only possible complication is a criminal charge he had in the States from 15 years ago, which we had to get approval from the Minister of Immigration for my partner to be considered...

We just tried calling the number, but the agent refused to even look up the application as we are well within the 16 month average processing time. We were told that even though our PR application status shows on eCAS as "Decision Made" does not mean a "final" decision has been made. I think...

OMG wow, Congrats!! ;D :D We have the same situation, sponsoring my American spouse, we got SA on April 19. I just checked eCAS and it shows "Decision Made" under the PR section. Would you be so kind as to share the phone number of the call centre you spoke with? We'd like to call too. Thanks...

Hi all, Our spousal PR application was received in Mississauga today. What a relief to get that package out! I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my American husband. We have two young sons together, living with us in Canada. Is there a March 2016 spreadsheet set up yet? Best wishes and good...

Our hunch is the reason was #2 above, that his ties to his home country are less than his ties to Canada, and thus he may be unlikely to leave at the end of the visit. We made no mention of the PR app on the visit extension request, which in hindsight was a mistake. When we submitted the...

That's a great question... we have no idea why it was denied. What does anyone here think? This is the letter we got: November 12, 2015 This letter refers to your application for a visitor record. Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have...

Does anyone have thoughts on this question?

In light of these income related comments, I am reposting a question I had originally posted on its own and only got a single answer that states "there is no minimum income requirement". Hello all, I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada, married to an American citizen (who is currently...

I thought there may be an income requirement because on the Sponsor Evaluation form (IMM5481E), question 3 asks for personal income for preceding 12 months before application. So the spousal sponsor's income level is not considered? They won't reject a spousal sponsor based on income? Thanks...

Hi all, On the Sponsored Spouse/Partner Questionnaire for persons living outside Canada being sponsored as spouses (IMM5490E), question 27 asks if my spouse and I have lived together. Q1 - Does him being in Canada as a visitor since May 31, 2015, staying with me the entire time, count as...

Hello all, I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada, married to an American citizen (who is currently visiting in Canada, and eager to permanently relocate and work). We have two young sons, ages 5 years and 8 mos, both Canadian citizens born and living with us in Canada. We are submitting an...

So even though it says application for restoration must be filed within 90 days, CBSA could come to our home and escort him away before 90 days? Scary!! :o

Thank you all so much for this information. Your advice is a godsend to us. So it appears a consensus that we should apply for PR via the outland process, taking 8-12 months. The question is if/when/how to apply for the restoration of visitor status. Some have said it needs to be done right...

We are unsure of the reason for denying. Here is the exact text of the letter: November 12, 2015 This letter refers to your application for a visitor record. Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am...

Thank you Scylla, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Just to be sure I understand what you are saying, since his visitor visa extension was denied, he has lost temporary resident status and has therefore lost the chance to apply for an open work permit with the PR application? You are...

After searching online for hours, I am hoping someone at this forum can give us some guidance. My fiance is a U.S. citizen and I am a Canadian citizen. We have been together nearly 2 years, and at the end of May 2015 he came to Canada on a visitor visa to be here for the birth of our son on...
