Hey guys. Just have a quick question; one of my relatives wants to start a sponsorship for his wife from Delhi. His wife lives in Pakistan, but looking at the timeline for issuing a visa (32 months), he wants to take the shortcut and do it through Delhi. Now, is he able to sponsor her if she gets a 1 year visa? or does she have to be an Indian national? Also, how hard is it to get a 1 year visa for India?


i think she is eligible to apply in india as long as she has residential visa minimum one year .speaking from my experience i am not indian but NDVO accept my file so i think no problem if she is legally living in india hope that helps

Ndvo is working tomorrow as one guy from 2012 is having interview tomorrow .

That'd be me - reading this has got me worried because interview is scheduled for the 4th (tomorrow) and wife is already in Delhi - can anyone else confirm if the offices will be completely closed or will they permit her/our interview...

Thanks,

A.

hi everyone, read a post here yesterday someone wrote something about set cap for spousal sponership applications.
i read this topic online, there is no set cap on applications for spouse sponsership, and they are tryin to make it bit faster processing.

"2014 is set to be an important year for family sponsorship. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) anticipates that 68,000 family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents will immigrate to Canada in the next calendar year, accounting for 26.1% of total immigration. Of this number, approximately 48,000 new immigrants will be spouses, partners or children, while the remaining 20,000 will be parents or grandparents.
Family sponsorship applicants in 2014 can look forward to streamlined processes and fast processing times across the board. This is thanks to efforts that CIC has made to prioritize the processing of family applications, thus making good on its stated commitment to family reunification. Historically, Canada has operated one of the most welcoming family sponsorship programs in the developed world, and it appears that the trend will continue in 2014.

Spousal Sponsorship

This sponsorship stream will continue accepting high levels of spouses, common-law and conjugal partners. Two major changes came into effect in roughly the last 12 months, and it is anticipated that they will remain in place for 2014. They are:

■Five year sponsorship ban – An individual who has been sponsored as a spouse is banned from sponsoring another spouse in turn for 5 years after receiving Canadian Permanent Residency; and
■Two year legitimate relationship regulation – Spouses or partners who have been in a relationship for two years of less, and who have no children together, will receive conditional permanent residency. They must prove that they continue to live with their spouse or partner in Canada, in a legitimate relationship, for two years before full permanent residency is received.
Because application numbers in this stream are liable to fluctuate, there is at present no cap on the number of applications that are or will be accepted. However, submitting an application as early as possible is the best way to ensure that partners are brought to Canada in the speediest way possible."

Hello, thanks for the info. can you please post the source. Does anyone know the difference between conditional permanent residency and full permanent residency? I am asking in terms of benefits, taxes and things like that. This is news to me.

thanks!!

person 'A' is the sponsor and person 'B' is sponsored. According to the above quote, if 'A' and 'B' divorce, does it mean 'B' cannot sponsor anyone for 5 years? so 'A' can sponsor another person? why punish the sponsored and not sponsor?

I believe law treats both of them equally whether it is conditional or permanent..as a PR sponsored person, one gets the same benefits (free health care, student loans, financial benefits if it is a refugee, use of government resources etc) and taxes based on income as does the sponsor. Conditional residency enacted to prevent abuse of loopholes. People would get married to their own relative (sometimes their own sister), come to Canada and divorce the sponsor and marry someone else. Sponsor person will get monetary benefits for arranging such a fraud scheme. There are laws that prevents sponsor from not paying alimony/palimony after the divorce. Sponsor is liable for paying back any money that the sponsored person got from government as a welfare benefits. If anyone else has a different opinion than mine, they should correct me.
