His name and DOB should have been on the back of one of the photos. He should have signed the PC. Neither is a huge deal, they won't send them back for that (my first PC wasn't signed, either).
Thanks Charlie. I don't recall seeing those instructions on any of the forms; I swear I scoured the forms leaving no possible room to overlook anything. :-[

Might have been easy to miss, I think the photo instruction was in the Regional Guide section or one of the Document checklists.

why do i now have this feeling that my application will be returned....

imo long as your file was transferred, you're more or less in the clear no?


Question: when they look over your information as sponsor from CIC, do they even take the time to look at the 2nd part of the step which is your s/0 approval process, and info.

or does the first step on concern themslves with the sponsor?

No, if your file is transferred to KG, they will not then return it to the sponsor.

The applicant's assessment forms the bulk of the processing done by KG, naturally. At some point, I don't know if it's before, concurrently or after, they will do a review of the sponsor's eligibility to ensure they remain eligible because a family class applicant cannot be approved without a sponsor who remains eligible.

That is stress Ananda... just stress of being away not knowing whats going on, crazy sadness etc. You have no need to worry.. it is highly unlikely that that will happen..

I pray and hope that this process ends quickly for all of us.. This is torture for those living away from their families. I wish it was a way for families to live together through this process especially for those who cant get visitors visas because of applications.. I plan to move over in Dec and listening to everyone here makes it really hard to want to leave hubby..

There's gotta be a better way!

so if i go down to jamaica to wait out some of the stay i could become ineligible, unless: ....

ok, so i stop working and go down there, i have years of employment history, update cv, and quite the interesting employment background.

I get a note stating, we will stay with (for example).....my Mother and have a note written by her confirming, that we are welcome to stay there until we get up and running???


Guess my question is, with the exception of social assistance, how does one become ineligible, when sponsoring a HUsband??

For those who are PRs (we have none here, but this is by way of example), they could become ineligible by failing to remain resident in Canada for the duration of processing. Visits are fine, but some persons jeopardise their own PR status and eligibility by going to be with their spouses for long periods of time.

Spouses may also become ineligible by being charged with crimes specifically listed, such as assault against family members, or may be jailed for other offenses. Others may declare bankruptcy. Some may find that family members they previously sponsored access social assistance while the spousal application is in process and thereby cause the sponsor to default on previous undertakings.

If you are going to spend a good while waiting out the application process, document all your preparations and document your plans for re-settling once your spouse is approved and submit this to KG. All of this goes towards the genuineness of your relationship, and towards showing you have a plan for fulfilling your obligations as a sponsor.

doesnt get more genuine than that....

I AM SORRY TO SAY:

but Couple here in Canada, would not last if they had to survive on the distance, and wait times the rest of us do, to be able to see one another. Having said that: our situations can be justified, but where Im concerned....or as far as Im concerned....this is NOT healthy for any relationship.....these feelings of despair, have got to be the last feelings that any newly/longly wed of couple should have to endure...it is all not normal. LIFE wasnt designed to be lived out that way, between man and woman: when it comes to matter of the heart, THE GOVERNMENT made it that way.

I told my husband, i love you.....i really do.........and i know you love me: but you and i we're only good when together...yes we ok when apart, but im not okay, no not really, and not at all. When we are together....there are no interferences, no outside distractions - My Husband is my husband - I feel like as long as im not there...im not remembered....perhaps maybe only by my husband....but i nearly felt to murder this one cousin got himself in trouble a few months back, then thinks he can just stay in my mans yard (which he has been - like its some bachelor pad), like a fi him own place: and that HE has any more say than me....My Husband and I GOT IN A HUGE ENORMOUS EXPLOSION of fight over this (well i was the one exploding, hed wouldnt explode at me)....because anything that is his is mine, and the other way around...no one is to be intruding on what is also rightfully mine, and i do not give a *censored word* who they are. Yes i know its my up to my man to voice it too...but when im not there, he not going to see his cousin with no where to sleep, cause that aint him....but i REMINDED HIM his cousin but himself in that situation in the first place, and IM NOT going to lose sleep, or peace of mind, every time a punk decides to be a punk / family or not.

My Man is a good man.... - but he is def aint no perfect man...but the way i know he loves me he still is perfect for me....but this *censored word* aint cutting it. Im willing to sacrifice some materials....to have a sound marriage for the remainder of this process.

What can my husband do for me from over there??? NOTHING - phone calls....not good enough anymore. im not satisfied....and when i married him, this is NOT what i expected it all to play out to be....i didnt know what to expect, i just knew we were in love, genuine love.....but this *censored word* comes with a price, and i refuse to be paying it alone.

maybe he isnt well off down there, but PLEASE allow me to join u - ive known what it feel like to be crazy now - think id rather go down there and exchange crazy with learning how it feels to live poor.

Think i can handle poor over crazy....poor is temporary, feelings, insanity, doubts, frustration: that *censored word* can make one bitter, and last a lifetime.

Take a deep breath Anada several of them if you need to :) - I don't know your situation well enough to speak on it but I can relate to the emotionally ups and downs. We all go through them but if we don't take control of them, they will make us lose focus and then everything starts to feel very confusing. And confusion is not what you want to take over you right now. As Charlie mentioned earlier, write out a plan for what you're "willing" to do to make your situation more comfortable for the both of you. If temporarily living in Jamaica with your husband until the time arrives for him to come to Canada is more beneficial, then let that be your goal. However speaking from experience, have a plan so that you won't be just "going with the flow". This immigration process is not a joke thing therefore with every decision you make, ensure that it won't impact the application being approved. I don't believe there's anything that says you can't be away from Canada during the process, BUT you'll need evidence to support your situation that living down there won't compromise your application it's still in process and showing the ability to financially support him when he comes to Canada. Immigration doesn't operate under "what if's" - meaning, would you be gainfully employed when you arrive back in Canada, whether it's through an employer or self employment. I believe that's a huge factor in your eligibility as a sponsor even after it's been approved. Yes your relationship is genuine and yes you both love each other however unfortunately there's more to it than that. Just some things to weigh out before you make that decision to go. It doesn't even matter if you've worked the last 10 years, they're concerned with now and onwards, specifically the three year undertaking period that starts from the moment he lands. Talk to you husband about this and the both of you can come to the best decision. Weigh out the pros and cons and then decide.

im pretty resourceful, and have a few connections in the PS, and Private.

I'd make it a point to have a letter of offer generated - accommodation letter could also be provided.

Having said that, the hardest part would actually be living out there, without a reliable source of income....BUT i do know it would work.

I spoke about this with my husband, right up until i left the airport, and for the past year....We agreed, id tie up ends, and go down in Oct to wait out the stay, while building up our house . He also encouraged me to do so, because he too knows its healthier for us, he is ok with it, as long as i know i can manage it.

Ive been underestimated in the past...and my mind is crazy and quirky enough, to make it happen. Not to mention, i have kids to return to....If immigration denied us - i dont know what would happen.

Immigration: u keep me away from my husband...u question if relationship is true and genuine, i come down here to wait out the stay....then u want to question how i will survive as a born educated citizen upon return.....no sah.....no way.
