You should ask sophie, she's the one who's taking care of the spreadsheet.

Hey Smsm81,

for me, the most hard part is definitely the additional details for Q#12 on IMM5285! I met my hubby in 2011 summer and started a long distance relationship from 2012 for 16 months then got married in 2013. There are not too many "evidences" i can attach for this part cus we spent most of our times talking on air :'( I've tried my best to describe our relationship and I hope the officer at CIC will be satisfied enough for that ???

btw, I got my police record today, finally! now I only need my hubby's option C printout and i'll be ready to go then! feel so nervous!!

Welcome on board!
I left blank that question, I don't think it could be a problem as long as you are sending it to the right address

Thanks Sophieee for the warm welcome and the answer

I think you're referring to the left area. That is not the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is on google docs, and contains all users.

Hi Savio,
First of all, it's not evident that you must send an inland application. I wish I had find this info before (altough I think I would have still gone with the inland), so maybe you will find it interesting:

Outland or inland?

Now you need to decide if to apply outland or inland. If your spouse is not in Canada and can not get a visa to go to Canada, you must apply outland. That means that you will send your application to Mississauga and they will approve you as a sponsor. The time that takes is usually 1-2 months to but current processing times can be seen here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#sponsorship After that, the application is forwarded to your local visa office. If your spouse is residing in a country other than the country of their nationality, you can pick which of the two visa offices you want. Otherwise it will be processed in their country of nationality. You can see the processing times here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp

If your spouse is staying in Canada as a visitor or on some other visa, you can pick whether you want to apply outland or inland. Outland is generally faster and has appeal rights but a downside to outland is that if an interview is required, your spouse will have to travel to the visa office in the country where it's being processed. Inland has the downside that it's generally not advised that your spouse travels while you are waiting for your processing because it is a requirement of inland that they reside in Canada and if they are denied entry at the border for some reason, your application is gone. If an interview is required for inland, you may also have to wait a long time for it. The inland application would be sent to Vegreville and if all goes well, you would get a first stage approval, usually in 6 to 8 months. The current processing times can be seen here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#perm_res Then the file is forwarded to your local CIC office where you live and they will contact you for a landing appointment. Getting the PR with inland usually takes 12-18 months. If an interview is required for inland, Vegreville will not give first stage approval but instead will forward the application to the local CIC office without it and you will have to wait for them to have time for your interview. In some cases that can take a year or two. If you do get the first stage approval, your spouse will usually be eligible for health care and an open work permit. It is actually a good idea when applying inland to send an application form for a visit visa extension as well as the open work permit to be given at first stage approval all in one package so it's tied together.

Which method to pick depends on your situation. If your spouses country of nationality has a long processing time or your spouse does not want to have to travel there for a possible interview, then inland is the way to go. For faster processing and freedom of travel during the processing time, outland would be better. You can find the application forms for inland at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp and the application forms for outland at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

hey Smsm81,
the option C printout is the proof of income for my sponsor which is list on the check list. Once I got it (should be reaching us by next week), all my paperwork is done and would be ready to go.

Are you in a long distance with your wife too before? wat did you wrote on Q#12 on IMM5285?

Hi guys,

I sent my application just yesterday and found out from a co-worker today that they recently changed the address where you should send the application. I sent it to Vegreville as stated on the doc list I printed last month, instead of Ontario which they currently have on IMM 5443. I am worried they might send back my application? :-( or could they possibly just forward it to the correct one?

Here's hoping and praying for the best result of everyone's application. God bless us all!

I think there's a chance that they send you back the application.. They made the change 2weeks ago..
