Hi there, my spouse is currently 'residing' / staying with me in Canada for about 8 months now (since 5 months we applied for an extension, which is yet to be answered so we are supposedly on 'implied'. A lot of the spousal sponsorship documents are asking whete she is currently living, we are...

The commissioner said he's doing all the work and we will just receive the certificate in the mail in a couple of weeks, can we start other parts of the application in the mean time? Thanks

The Marriage Commissioners gave us some temporary documents until the real certificate came in, it looks like he gave us a certificate that says "Marriage Commissioners Statement of Marriage" with all our names and the date, and an invoice. Apparently, we could rush the certificate somehow? just...

Hi there, so I just got married to my spouse a week ago, she has already been here a little over 6 months - almost up to 7-8 months (on a pending extension, but we just stayed since no answer). We will apparently receive the certificate in 2-4 weeks, but we would like to start the application...

Thank you, that lifted a big weight off my chest. It seems like they will take so long to reply, it might be the extension in itself lol! Cheers.

Hi there, so about 35 days ago, me and my girlfriend applied for a visitor visa extension, but obviously due to COVID they said it would take around 100 something days. I may have misinterpreted some of the Canada website, but what I got was that if the application is pending she has implied...

Hi all, I have been filling out the application, there seems to be not a required message on your reasoning, do you guys think it'd work against me to provide reasoning as it's (optional). Let me know, thanks

One more thing regarding this, if I did actually want to go this route, how would I pay for the sponsorship without actually filling anything out? Is it an option to pay before doing the paperwork online? Thank you

I am a Canadian citizen. Yes, I noticed it is quite costly for something that isn't guaranteed. I think we are going to just be honest with our situation (plan to marry very soon (before the visa expires), had her company that delayed her holiday visa, and need time to get the documents sorted...

Thank you for the insightful reply. I believe I understand. Dual intent would mean the government is aware that our intention is not just her visiting anymore, but also planning to move permanently correct? and this is okay? Usually people say not to notify the government about things of that...

Hi, k.h.p thanks for the reply. We are not formally married yet, I am yet to propose and officially marry through the court (would hope to have this done before her 6 months are up) could I still pay for the spousal sponsorship now? Thank you.

Hi guys, kind of a unique situation here, my girlfriend from the U.S.A of 5 years long distance (online and visits) has finally planned to be with me. We have a working holiday visa in place from an American program, that due to recent events has been heavily delayed (we expected to have it by...

One last question, is an extension CAUSE we're going to get married enough, or will they need proof that we are actually indeed married? Thanks

Thanks for the help, so when you say (she need status) you're referring to her being on a valid visitor visa correct? I will explain we are married waiting for the process. Thanks

Hi Bian, thanks for the reply. That makes sense, 1. I'm assuming the "permanent residency" is the spousal sponsorship correct? 2. I need time to prepare the documents, she must be on visitor while I do that even when married through the court? 3. While I apply for the spousal, can I also apply...

About 8 months in total, she visited a couple times every year for about 1 month a time.

Hi guys, I need a little advice as all of this seems a little confusing. My girlfriend of 5 years has been here since February (about 5 months) and I'm sure her Visitor visa is almost expired. I plan to marry her before this happens, as I don't want her to go back and want to be with her. I've...

Hi there, if I am from U.S and on a open-work permit through a recognized organization, when the 1 year permit expires, can I automatically or manually switch to my 6-month visitor visa? Do I need to leave the country and come back to activate that visitor visa? I heard it can be switched...

Thanks Scylla, I was looking at it but I have a couple of new questions above that I didn't get a full answer to. Just wondering if I can get full clarity.

Hi there my girlfriend from America would like to move here with me and attend school as well. I have collected a couple of questions that I hope some of you can address. Will I be able to present my income + savings of over 10k to support her instead of her showing 10k in her bank for a...
