    Hello! I applied for my parents’ visitor visa on July 1st and they completed the biometrics on July 7th. Since then, there haven’t been any updates. Anyone in the same boat? GCKey shows "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility."

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    Thanks! You've definitely raised some very good points. We've already applied and in our case, even our Roka ceremony was very small and just happened at our home in the presence of only immediate families. So, that align well with the small wedding I believe. You're right. But for that, we...

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    I didn't know people actually do that have and multiple weddings. Honestly, for our case, both of us are not a huge fan of big weddings especially hate traditional weddings.

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    That's interesting. Thanks for your reply. We don't really use social media that much and last time we updated Facebook was like 5 years ago. So, Facebook still shows us as single I believe. Both of out insta accounts are private but we have shared some pics of the private proposal. However...

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    No, it’s not an arranged marriage. We met through dating app. And no, we didn’t explain it in the IMM5532. Let me explain why. We had our Roka ceremony (an Indian commitment ceremony) in India, where both of our immediate families were physically present. So, in the form where they ask you to...

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    Hello! For spousal sponsorship, would a court marriage in Canada without parents present be acceptable if we had only close friends as witnesses? We are originally from India and met in Canada in 2023. Both of us came to Canada independently on study permits. We have been in a relationship for...

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    @YVR123 sorry for the confusion, I am also including both letter from my employer as well as NOA. My question was where do I upload NOA?

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    I actually have 3 FT positions so it won't really fit. I have created a new document named "LastName - FirstName - IMM5532 Appendix - 1" and in the form itself, for the last row, I have added "(Due to row limits, full 5-year employment history is in doc name)"

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    That's a good idea. Thanks. Since I am unable to fit everything in the table itself, I am thinking of adding this in the last row of the form: Full past five years of employment history is provided in the pdf_name.

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    @scylla @YVR123 @armoured I was wondering if you could answer one more question. For "IMM5532 Relationship Information and Sponsorship Evaluation" form, in Part A (1), they ask for "Sponsor's employment history". I've included my full-time position from 2021-05 to present leaving go gaps...

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    Thanks! and once we apply for OWP (after AOR) before PGWP expires, she will be on implied status and can continue working, right? We don't have to wait until the new OWP gets approved?

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    I guess that's true but then that's applicable to "spouse in-canada (inland)" class as well. They do allow implied status for PGWP holders.
