Inland application Important question..

[ama25]

We already sent our application and I was already approved as a sponsor. We got married in Canada and only 2 members of my husband's family could came to our wedding. So, we are planning on sending additional documents to CIC and we would like to hear other people opinions.. We are planning on sending among these documentations a support letter from my husband's aunt who traveled from the US to be at our wedding?

Thanks in advance..

You can send a CSE ( https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx ) with more proofs if you wish. You should note that it can slow processing down. That said, we sent a PDF with a short letter from me, and 35 additional photos, and a PDF copy of a pension beneficiary statement.

Even a letter and a few documents? How can it slow it down?

Well, they have to re-evalutate the evidence in context. They will need time to read and review for validity as well.

My husband is out of status and the CBSA gave him a exclusion order and he asked for a deferral of removal and they gave us 60 days which expires the 31st. Do you think they still won't have enough time? Another thing. Should we also send the facebook conversation between my husband and my brother as evidence and also a copy of a Canada Revenue Agency showing my husband's marital status and showing our address and an explanation as why we don't have a joint bank account which because my bank require up-to-date documents and since he is out of status they won't let me add him..

What do you think?

I have provided you advice before, and I have read your story. So I know about the exclusion order and administrative deferral. Considering that your case has SA already, and ours doesn't, I would say that anything is possible. Though if it was me, I would probably wait for the CIC to ask for additional proofs. Then you know they are ready to accept them (and they genuinely need them). Considering you have child(ren) in common, I doubt they really need more to prove your relationship.

In your case, I think you might want to reach out to your MP. Their office is better equipped to help people in awkward (no offence here) positions with the CBSA/CIC. If the CBSA acts on their exclusion order, you will likely need an immigration lawyer, or MP anyway. So, you might want to contact them today to ask for help. The constituent should contact them (so you, not him). Once they have a completed consent, they can talk with either of you.

Very helpful. Thank you so much.. One last thing. Do you think that the fact that I have not changed my last name will be any issue with CIC?

If the assumption of the last name was a real factor -- then my wife's case will be denied too. You'll be in good company .

No I really don't think it's a big deal. There can be many reasons people don't assume their spouses name right away, or at all. My sister has been married for 25 years now, and she still uses her maiden name (or hyphenated name). If you want to change your name, it's easy. Based on your avatar/flag I am assuming that you are in NS. Here is the stuff you need to change that: http://novascotia.ca/sns/access/vitalstats/changing-name.asp .

Once they have accepted the change, scan the paperwork and send it to CIC so they can create an Also Known As (AKA) record for you.
