Hi,

Is it good to tell CIC in the spousal sponsorship application about how many problems we as a couple or individual has faced due to the distance?

Thanks!

Those are genuine problems we faced just because of the distance. And precisely, because I could reach to her in Canada.

Yes, it's a good idea to let CIC know about challenges that you are facing. but it's Water under the Bridge for them.

my friend most of us have gone through these challenges at some time in our migration to Canada. you have no other option.

you sound to be an Indian. If you have accurate and strong supporting documentation. Job is not a mandatory requirement for Spouse category, but it does help in speeding up the processes. plus by submitting proof of (wedding invitation, traditional marriage pictures and a Marriage certificate issued by govt) would also speed up the process.

Option # 2

while you are waiting for PR, every three months spend $2000 take one week vacation. (Justification: Once we have whats-up we are not paying any more longdistance bill, in 1997 we paid about $900 per month, in those days it was 75 cents a minute (no calling cards).


Option # 3

apply for a visit visa, or a student visa

applications are not "sped up" because someone has a job. the only way to "speed up" processing is to provide an application that is clear, make sense and contains all the required documents. doing that will ensure no further requests are made by IRCC, therefore making it seem like the process is quicker, when if fact it is just being processed like every other application.

for anyone to suggest an application can be "sped up" is misleading and irresponsible.

if the sponsor has a job. and if sponsor submits Pay stub, T4 or Option C from CRA. it could help you.

please note for sponsoring spouse you do not have to show income proof

The NOA Option C is a basic requirement of all applications for spousal sponsorship if you are a sponsor (inland application). Like CDNPR2014 said a complete application gets processed faster than an application where IRCC has to ask for additional information.

it is also a basic requirement for outland applications. it's a basic requirement for ALL spousal sponsorship applications, except for when the sponsor has been living outside of canada and can not produce those documents.

Guys I understand what you all said but I am not clear how this topid moved to job thing.

Secondly, the situation was worse and I tried to enter Canada from different ways like creating express entry profiles, visitor visa and even expressed to move to Prince Edward island through PNP program. So my question is, should I explain in my application what was the problem and we did like I mentioned above?

does the application specifically ask if you've tried to immigrate through other streams? if not, there's no reason to add to add that to you application as it is not relavant to your spousal application.

were your applications for these streams rejected? if so, then you need to explain this in the application where it specifically asks if you've been denied visas to canada before.

having failed visa applications through other streams (or having an open EE application) isn't necessarily cause issue with your spousal sponsorship application, assuming you can convey a legitimate relationship in your application.

answer the questions they ask truthfully, and don't elaborate on things that have nothing to do with your application or relationship. providing them with information that is not relavant to your application or providing answers to questions that are not even asked will definitely delay your processing. your application needs to make sense and it needs to be easy for the visa officer to read. adding a bunch of unrelated nonsense will have the complete opposite effect.

telling the truth and telling everything is not one in the same. telling the truth is required. telling them things that are not specifically asked about is not. seriously. stop overthinking every question and just answer the questions that are asked. there are no hidden meanings behind the application questions.

hmmm.. Understanding your point. And it was just visitor visa rejected, express entry profile I withdrawn.

I'll then cut off such things from the story. Thanks for your advice.
