My husband is sponsoring me. I did the application myself and plan to put it in the mail tomorrow. I have checked and double checked, just nervous that I missed something. I have included police certificate, upfront medical exam confirmation, lease,insurance (car/home) banking in both Canada and US, travel itineraries, statutory declarations. I went and got a visitor's visa and included a copy of that and our made a photobook with our pictures. I also included the Right of Permanent Residence Fee since it says this could expedite things.
Several years ago, I sponsored my husband for residency in the States. A lawyer did it for us and the process cost about 7k. I really wanted to avoid that this time around, but I don't want it to bite me in the butt later. I just want to get this over with. I wish I would have done it a year or two ago, we have been splitting our time between US and Canada since 2011, but hadn't decided if we would stay. I did freelance work in the States, now it is going to be tough to sit on my thumbs for 6 to 8 months until I can work. But I guess it beats being apart. Did any of you do your own applications?
Best Xmas present ever!!!! Applications was received Feb 5 as per spreadsheet.
Glad to see things are moving along!
