APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[Decoy24601]

you seem to have very professional knowledge regarding immigration and i appreciate you for taking your time and advising people with relevant straight forward and valid ideas that might benefit people greatly during immigration.i have also seen people answering ignorantly and little common sense too.i thank you on behalf of everyone being served in this forum with your posts

Oh, thank you ;D. I've been helped a lot on here since I joined, so I want to spread that around and help where I can. It's taken me many months to feel like I'm actually competent when it comes to family class sponsorship knowledge. There's so much to learn and so many hoops to jump through.

I'm sorry someone is doing that to you. I could understand doing it once if they disagreed with something you said, but coming back every few days to give you another is unfair.

I'm fairly certain that not declaring his child would be considered misrepresentation. Declare the child and explain what you did here.

Hi,

There are different kinds of cases of misrepresentation and most of them are unintentional.

What can we do if the case is misrepresentation and unintentional? Let us make an example of not declaring a child whose not with you for more than a decade and you have no information of theit whereabouts.

If it's something minor and an honest mistake and you try to correct it then I don't think it will be a big deal. It would depend on what exactly the misrepresentation was about. In that case, if the couple found out after sending the application that they should have declared their child, they can email the visa office or send a case specific enquiry letting them know of the mistake and ask for it to be corrected in their file, along with explaining that the child hasn't lived with them for 10 years and don't know of their whereabouts and/or have contact with him/her. Honest mistakes do happen. It's when people purposefully try to withhold information or lie that this can be an issue.

For instance, I accidentally didn't mention a voluntary withdrawal in my application, because I wasn't sure if it counted as refused entry (I was allowed entry for 3 days and then given a voluntary withdrawal on my way out... it's a long story). I emailed CPC-M of the mistake and they added it to my file. So far I haven't had any issues and I don't think that I will.

I have a step-brother that I had to include in additional family information. I only know his name. I don't know his whereabouts and don't know his date of birth, so I wrote a note explaining this in my application after writing "unknown" for his address and date of birth. I wasn't sure of my father's date of birth and I'm not in contact with him, so I also mentioned that.

Bugsbong, Decoy and Johnny thank you. I do have the same opinion as yours I was just wondering and hoping if there's easy way to this.

I'm not 100% sure how the CIC will handle this. Obviously, your husband won't be able to get the kid to do a medical, which is a requirement. I'm not sure what the actual procedure is for something like this though, it's a little complicated and it will depend on if the CIC wants a medical from him.

Wow that was a great a answer.

I just happen to read a post about the case that was posted a while ago in another thread and follow your answer here.

Thank you very much.

i remember reading something like the same situation in another thread.from what i think all you need to do a detailed letter of explanation of what you did and why you did, send it as a case specific enquiry if your file is already with the local vo . make it as detailed as you can and explain to them if they need it differently you would try your best to do so but the success rate of getting the medicals done for the kid who isnt accompanying you to canada would be very slight

Hi everone, just checked eCAS and "med results have been received" was updated so I think things are moving along at CPC-M though not at a pace we all would like it to be. Hope we start seeing some SAs soon for the early Aprl group (I suppose the late March group will come first).

Oh just to clarify, it's the sponsor (my husband) who has a kid. I am the principal applicant, right? . I was just wondering if it would affect his eligibility to sponsor me. Why would they ask for my husband's kid, who is already living in Canada?

Oh, if it's the sponsor I don't think it really matters at all then. I would still let them know of the mistake, but this is a lot less likely to be an issue.

One of the questions on the sponsor evaluation form asks about if any of the sponsor's children do not live with the sponsor and how often the sponsor visits the kid or what rights the sponsor has to visit the kid. That's where you would want to mention this.

All excellent advice. Remember the forms are generic so there are times which will confuse you or not be appropriate.

Any notes explaining inconsistencies are accepted and considered.

Hi,

I'm Denela from Philippines. A newbie here. I applied for Conjugal visa. My app was sent to CPC-M via Canada Post last April 25, 2016.
I've been reading blogs regarding other applicants' stories on their visa application. It seems that conjugal visa takes more time to get process compare with other visas i.e. spousal and common law. Waiting time is really frustrating! though I've been keeping myself busy at work, spending 12 hours a day! whew! I guess, I better keep my cool and be more patient. Hope to hear good news from CIC real soon. God bless us all!

To be honest, because you applied conjugal I would make your own thread and post this in the main part of the forum. As far as I know, it's extremely hard to prove conjugal, since the majority have no barriers to establishing common-law or getting married (getting denied a TRV isn't enough usually). I'm worried that because you applied conjugal your application will be denied. What kind of proof did you include in the application? Why did you apply conjugal? I don't mean to unnecessarily worry you, but I'm concerned.
