than to those in Canada.

Hello to everyone here! My husband and I come across these questions in IMM 5490 which is Maintaining Contact... so here is my concern:
question 25. Have you visited your sponsor during the period of your relationship? we answered NO because he wasn't able to come and visit me here in canada since he needs a visa to get here..so my concern is what is the best explanation to it that would not question us back about it..thank you

[/quote..

Well it depends, yes he needs to get a visa but at the same point question is did he try to get one? Just be honest and say that he was working and banking his vacation days before the marriage so he cudnt come and see me here in canada. they also know that canada is not like a bus to niagra falls you need atleast good 3/4 weeks off..

so just let them know that he was busy working and taking care of his family back home.
that should be good enuf..

Hi Guys,

I checked CIC today, the status showed as Decision Made.

It goes on to say : We sent you a letter on June 4, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

I haven`t got any letter yet.

Hopefully, it means my sponsorship application is approved. My application was received on 8`th March 2012.
