Hello Guys

I am living in San Francisco, got married to a Canadian citizen last July. Sent my application on March 31, 2012.

My spouse received an email today from the immigration people asking to submit "Welfare check"? What does that mean? What do I need to do?

I also received another mail requesting my medical form. I booked an appointment for next Wednesday with the physician here. Any tips for this health check up?

Thank You
Manispreet
I don't know what they mean by welfare check, but as a part of sponsorship application, you should provide proof that the sponsor is not on welfare. If she has been living in Canada for past year, and if she has filed taxes, then she can ask CRA for Option C printout. Have you provided any proof of this kind?

But can't they find ways to get this information.....If someone is on welfare, they'll know, even without option C...so if their not, can't they find out aswell??
You submit your tax information as an alternative. It has a spot that shows if you're on welfare.

try logging in everyday(even though you cant) but nothing goes if you will try..
as the online ecas status gets time to update so thats why.
