Based on Spousal Sponsorship application, medical must be submitted with initial package but if you write explanation letter and include with spousal application, it will be accepted to submit medical at the time of AOR2

HI everyone!! After 5 months of collecting documents I am sending in our application tomorrow!!!!! I feel like a weight has been lifted but also anxious to start the waiting game.

I am applying for spouse sponsorship...outland

A little history...My husband and i got married in 2009...I lived with him in Trinidad from then till august 2015. In august i moved back to Canada to start the process. We have two kids aged 5 and 4. He has no criminal history and has never been in canada. I am working part time and staying with my parents until he comes. I sent in our chat logs, call logs, a photo timeline from 2008 till now with pictures of us and our kids and family. I sent Fb ,essages as well from friends who couldnt attend our wedding. I also sent in copies of our kids birth certificates. (our kids are Canadian through me they were both born in trinidad)...

I am hoping and praying we are reunited this year

Hey just giving this thread a bump....any January applicants out there?

We got our package off today. Nervous that I missed something (even though we both went over everything several times), but excited/relieved that it's finally off.

So it's around 63 days to find out if the sponsor is eligible to be a sponsor?

I would do it with a courier for your own piece of mind. Get a signature and delivery confirmation.

Here's all the addresses. Yours will be:
