Hello, first time using a forum.
Q1: How long should I expect to receive a confirmation from CIC saying they've received my application? Is there someone I can call to ask about my application process.
I am applying for spouse sponsorship for my wife to come to Canada from Taiwan.
The application was sent on March 15th from Taiwan, the application arrived to its destination on March 21st (according to mail tracking system).
Q2: I am applying from outside of Canada (from Taiwan), because I lived there for the past 2 1/2 yrs. So I sent the application when I was still in Taiwan, and I went back to Canada due to family situation (will stay permanently), and my wife is still in Taiwan. Since we are still in the sponsorship application process, would she be able to come to Canada to stay (say on a tourist visa) during the application process? What information would she need to disclose when crossing the border, say if she goes to Canada using a tourist visa? Should she mention she currently in the process of spouse sponsorship application or no?
Thank you for your time!
