I have compiled this list of Dos and Donts/ Pl circulate to as many people as possible as it will be helpful:

Dos and Don'ts to ensure you have smooth hassle free and quick Spousal PR processing:

1) Don't get medicals and PCC done too much in advance. Try to have it as close to your application date as possible.
2) If spouse does not have Birth certificate, pl get the process started early. Even if she has school leaving certificate, it should suffice
3) In Spouse Questionnaire, ensure for each question, you write a detailed one page essay giving as much information as possible to answer that question. Do not limit yourself to the space provided in the questionnaire
4) Create a common email for both you and your spouse and give that in the Generic App where they ask for the Principal Applicant's email id so that both of you can keep accessing that email and in case one of you has to go on a trip, then the other can keep accessing. Make the email sound legit like wifehubbynames @ yahoo or gmail.
5) Do not leave any question in any of the forms blank. Always put N/A where it is blank
6) For Sponsor, make sure you request Option C from CRA well in advance as it takes 3 weeks to reach you.
7) Do not discard boarding passes/ tickets of all your trips to India/ within India in regards to Engagement ceremony, first meeting, marriage etc. Keep them all safe and attach them with the application as proofs.
8) Keep receipts of Jewelry/ Kurta Sherwani/ Saree purchases safe and attach them as well
9) Ensure you attach a minimum of 100 photos and ensure you include photos from as many occasions as possible- First meeting, Engagement, Marriage, Honeymoon etc etc. Write on the back of the photo who is who in the photo along with date/ the function (marriage or engagement etc)/ venue. Do not crimp on the number, Attach as many photos as you can (>=100)
10) Do not attach original of marriage certificate. Certified photocopy is fine
11) Make sure you fill out the section ‘Details of Foreign Travel' and sign/date the form ‘India Guide' as this is one form people usually forget.
12) Print out as many your email interactions/ chat logs and attach them.
13) If this is either of your's second marriage, ensure you provide complete divorce petition from your previous marriage. Do not leave out anything. Ensure you show the VO your previous marriage is completely dissolved.
14) Make sure, once you send your passport with PPR from VO, after 15 days or so, send them an email and ask for confirmation they received your passport.
15) If you visit your spouse after filing application, send photos/ ticket/ boarding pass from this trip to the VO with a cover letter quoting the UCI and application number mentioned in the PPR you received from VO.

Hello all,
I have a question. I am the sponsor and we are October 2013 applicant. I can't open my spouse's ecas (applicant) since we got DM, and I believe it's normal. We got DM on 2nd august and medical is expiring on 6th sept. Currently, I am living with my spouse since 2 months meaning my Canadian phone is off. My spouse's phone number was changed too and I sent a letter along with the photocopy of PCC and receipt of payment. Now, I am not sure when we will receive PPR because my flight is in 2 weeks. I don't know who to contact and what to say? Iam just worried and worried. I hope speedy visa for all.

they normally give two weeks time to pack and go before medicals expire (unless they extend it by two more weeks)..so you should hear from them next week...they should have asked you to send passport when they changed status to 'DM' I am not sure why this much delay...you can call NDVO and ask them when you will get passport request and tell them medicals expiring on sept 6th..they may answer you or they may ask you to send email inquiry...

Seniors (W2E), Vikasgandhi's comment about getting a temporary health insurance for his spouse after she lands (as it will take on an average, 2 months to get the Health Card in Canada), got me thinking. Do you think it is essential to get a temporary health insurance for our spouse before they travel?
