Fantastically helpful reply Kayaker thanks for that. Just the kind of positively helpful response I hoping might get posted. I have not done any of this kind of legwork yet, not thinking it was pertinent to do so, but if I go ahead now and do so, sending out resumes and follow up letters in...

Hi, Thanks for the replies so far. Well as part of my sponsor application I included, as I think I mentioned in my OP, a detailed summary of my situation that stated my intention to remain with my family, continuing to look after our children as have been doing for the past couple of years...

Hi gang, It's been just about 8 months or so since I sponsored my Thai wife's visa application. I live in Thai atm with her and our two kids at her home in BKK. My sponsor application was initially approved by Mississauga when we sent in our application, confirmed via email along with a follow...

Just wanted to stop in, say hi since my wife and I just joined the pool, sending off our apps yesterday from Bangkok. It was a long(ish) wait just to get them complete and sent out. Now anticipating the even longer wait so long as I am approved as sponsor living with her here in Bangkok. Fingers...

While my wife (sponsored applicant) was talking to one of the doctor's offices here in Bangkok that is authorized to perform her medical for a spousal application, the receptionist (I presume) told her that the original medical report will be sent to the Philippines, which surprised her and I...

Hi Avadava, It sure does! Check. My wife is in the process (a few printouts a day at work) of printing out all our correspondences during the development phase of our relationship, except chat logs. The list includes SMS messages (we don't have too many); letters, post cards, and few other...

It's reassuring to read similar situations, so thanks again for the reply. Well in that case I think I will simply include a copy of the 2008 tax assessment I do have for my 2008 tax year as example of the kind of income I was earning in the past in my career, as well as bank records showing...

Hi Avadava, Thanks for your most welome 2 cents! So did your husband still do his taxes even though he wasn't working and was still able to send a current, or recent "Option C printout"? Or has he not done taxes like me since he last worked and so was sent an "Option C printout" for an...

Quick (or perhaps not so quick) background: - I met my wife chatting on-line Aug. 2008. - We met first time when I went to Thailand for 6 weeks Dec. 2008-Jan 2009. - Upon return, kept daily chats up until Sept 2009 when I decided to travel back to Thai for extended stay to provide opportunity to...

hi gdaymate, it all makes sense now, thanks for the help. i do have another question as me & my wife have just about finished filling in all of the forms for both of us before i leave her again to go home for awhile. IMM5504E Question 8. Have you resided in countries other than Canada? in my...

hi PMM, TYVM for your reply. all of your answers are very clear and make sense except i should have been more clear myself about the photo requirements for her family (who are NOT accompanying her & her daughter). on the form IMM0008egen we have answered all of the information with regards to...

hi, i had another question. my wife if the principle applicant i am sponsoring but we want to get her daughter (10 years old) a visa at the same time. do we need to wait for my wifes daughter to get her passport before we submit the applications forms or can we provide that information later...

hi gang, i have a few questions while filling out the family class sponsorship applications for my thai wife while i am in thailand for a visit. Question 1: in the document 3999E PART 2: THE IMMIGRANT'S GUIDE ---> IMM 0008, it is asking for the total of all family members whether accompanying...

thaiguy, not at all. i am willing to live with my decisions to sponsor my future wife & her daughter. again i don't expect the relationship to go south & i am looking forward to long happy future together... but just in case as one can never be 100% of what the future holds. it is just i do...

hi everyone, sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, but i have been looking online & just can't seem to find anything that addresses my situation. so i thought i might ask here as some others may have experience they can share. i am getting married soon & one of the last things i need to...

Promags, if you wnat to go for the TRV, do NOT mention that you have any kind of romantic relationship with the person you would like to sponsor. the TRV WILL be denied! as soon as IMM gets whif of a romantic relationship it sends up the red flag that the person with the TRV has reason enough...

thaiguy, it's great to hear some positive feedback. once i get the ball rolling when back in LOS i will update the progress of the GF's PR process. unfortunately it never occurred to me at the time that i would ever need proof such as co-signing a lease, joint bank accounts or the such. it...

thanx for the PM & reply thaiguy. i stopped checking this forum... seems kinda slow without much in the way of replies to posts. some very good info in your reply. we do have a relationship that goes back 3 years now (since we first met) & we lived together for 18 months. unfortunately we...

i was wondering if it affects the overall PR process how soon you apply after getting married? my GF has not previously been married but does have an 11 year old daughter. what complications, if any, might that add to her PR application? i plan on heading back to thailand to live with my GF...

hi gang, first time poster. just a warning, i think this may be a longish post. i was wondering if there is any difference when applying for a PR whether it is done with the sponsor living in or outside of canada? i am the sponsor for my girlfriend whom i have know for 3 years now & lived...
