NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[capri_can]

Hello Everyone,

I am a PR and got married on Jan 31st, 2013 to a girl who i know since 2007 and proposed in 2012. I became PR in 2010, but returned to India for one year and again returned to Canada in June 2012.
My Questions are below:
1) I need to get straight with the process. First my wife needs to get her medicals done in Pune as well as her PCC and then send it to me along with her immigration forms and other documents like emails, phone bills photographs, etc., RIGHT?
2) Is it true that all immediate family members of my wife have to do medical exams? I saw some posts in this thread that some applicants went for medicals alone, while it is clearly mentione don CIC website that all family memebrs( mom, dad, brothers and sisters) need to undergo the medical exam? PLEASE CONFIRM THIS.
3) Since is know my wife from the year 2007 (we joined the same company), but i proposed her formally in March 2012. We NEVER dated between this period (i.e., 2007-2012) and it was only acquaintance/friendship that we maintained. PLEASE SUGGEST if i should mention that i had known my wife since 2007 or NOT.

I wil highly appreciate if the expert forum members can comment on my questions.

In continuation my previous post, i want to elaborate my understanding on point 1>

>I am Sponsor and my wife in India is Spouse.
>I need to send HER the sponsorship documents for her to sign before sending them to CIC?
>When she'll send back the signed sponsorship documents, she has to keep her medicals, PCC and filled immigration forms to me, RIGHT?
>After i recieve the package from her, I will send the entire package( Sponsor forms-filled, Immigration forms-filled, My Wife' medical, her parents' and siblings' medical report, My wife's PCC, Supporting Documents and Fee Receipt of CAD 1040) to Mississauga CIC office, RIGHT?
>AFTER CIC recieves my package, they will approve my sponsorship and they themselves send the file to NEW DELHI CIC office, RIGHT?

PLEASE ANSWER THESE. Let me know if you have any questions.

1)Best method will be asking your wife to print the forms once completed , sign and send it to you with the proof's she might have along with her PCC and medical certificate.
2)Are they joining your wife to canada ? Whoever you will be sponsoring and bringing to canada need to do medicals . To be clear , if its only your wife you wanna sponsor , then only she needs medical
3) Nothing wrong in mentioning the true facts that you were friends and you entered into a relationship. Be honest no trouble.

Yes you need to pay 1040 if you are sponsoring your wife only (If her family will join in the sponsorship then you need to pay more depending on how many will join her)
Yes you will send application forms, fees , medicals , pcc , all proofs only to CPC-M.

Thank You Mickey for the prompt reply.

No, my wife's parents and siblings are not joining her at all.
Also, i would like you to have a look on the following statement from appendix C
cicwebsite/english/resources/publications/dmp-handbook/pdf/AppendixC_e.pdf

You and all your family members who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents must fill
out Appendix C and undergo and pass a medical examination, whether they will be joining you in Canada
or not. Make enough photocopies of this page for your needs before you start filling the boxes.

PLEASE SUGGEST IF THIS IS A NEW RULE? DOES ANYONE HAVE A OLD VERSION OF APPENDIX C? SO that i can confirm the above statement.

You no longer need to print appendix C. Doctors will have them already. All the Canada referred medical doctors know this rule and they already have enough copies printed..
Just find the doctor in your wife's proximity. Call the doctor , ask for fees and things needed for upfront medicals.

No appendix C. I did medicals 3 months ago in India , for a fee of 3100 and 6 PP photos , doctor wanted 2 copies of passport and wanted to see the original passport during check up.

I am quite relieved by your reply, Mickey.
I was under the impression that my wife`s parents and siblings too need to get their medical exams taken, even if they are not accompanying her to canada!!
I read it on the CIC website only, and thought it might be a new rule or something.
I will get my wife done with her medical and PCC at the earliest and have her send me all the documents.
And regarding marriage prrofs, apart from photographs of different rituals, do we need to provide video recordings as well?
if yes, then in what format, DVD or something else?

you will find all the answers in the information guide; following is the excerpt from the guide :

"Photos must be loose; do not send them in binder
s, albums, frames or other such containers. Do
not send video discs or video cassettes. Do not send musical greeting cards or other similar
documents containing electronic or mechanical devices. Do not send calling cards"

Application for spousal sponsorship from Nepal

Applied Oct 11 2012
Approved- Nov 20 2012
Passport request March 2th 2013
Passport Received march 11 2013 at New delhi.

Its been two weeks now.. When should I expect my partner's passport with stamped visa ???

Please, Any idea???

Hey Reeyan,
Why is talking so long to get a PPR in your case?
I'm also from Nepal and I got PPR in less than a month after sponsorship approval. I submitted my application on the third week of January though.

 

[Fewmoreweeks]

Hello...
Is there anyone in this forum applying under nepali passport.??

Hey Iranas,
Yes my spouse applied with Nepalese passport. I applied on the third week of January and got a PPR last week. What's your timeline?

I think CIC refers family members as spouse, common law partner or any dependent children (not mother or father)

Experts please clarify if possible...

I applied for the visa on 16th Feb 2013 to Missisauga
They recieved it on 19th FEb 2013

1.What is the next process ?
2.How long does it take after they asked for the Passport to my wife in India ?

Please correct me if I am wrong ...

If everything went well that means ...they will ask the passport to her by 8-10 Months time......
