Hi Guys,
I seek your advice, since we are still stuck on waiting for my wife to get approved for the spousal sponsorship file.
I'm a Canadian citizen living with my wife in her home country with our 2 newborn sons and this is our timeline:
Visa office Moscow
Nov-01-2011 - Medical done
Nov-04-2011 - Application sent
Nov-15-2011 - Application received in Mississauga
Jan-18-2012 - Sponsorship approved
Feb-14-2012 - Quebec CSQ issued
I have contacted our local MP a year ago and he’s handling all the communication with them since then.
On Sep-2012 the embassy in Moscow has sent the file back to Mississauga in order to review my edibility to be a sponsor (again). They wrote a letter to us to provide more proof of our marriage + my intent to move back to Canada, which we did and sent them a significant amount of docs, pics and letters from relatives and friends confirming our relationship and intent to move back to Canada.
Almost a month ago we had twin boys and I’m working on gathering all the necessary docs in order to apply for their citizenship certificate and travel document.
To this date, there is no final decision made in our case yet. As our local MP advised, the file is still in Mississauga and my eligibility to be a sponsor is still being reviewed (for a year already). He advised to me that, there’s no definite timeline on the review process, and the only thing I can do at this point, is to wait. But soon it’s going to be 2 years since we’ve applied for the sponsorship of my wife and the life here gets real unbearable, plus the factor of our babies’ birth, we see that our case is taking significantly more time than any other and we feel that at this point we need to do something.
Here are my questions:
1) How do we expedite my wife’s file/eligibility review in Mississauga office?
2) Will the birth of our children have any impact to move things forward?
3) Is it possible to apply for the Canadian citizenship certificate and the Canadian passport for our boys at the same time?
4) When we receive the above docs for our sons, is it possible to ask for some kind of approval for my wife, so we can all travel to Canada ASAP (Minister Permit or ect.)? We are stuck here, since I can’t go back to Canada and leave my wife alone here, especially now, when we have 2 newborn sons.
Please help me with some realistic professional advice, so I can finally move my family to Canada (all together).
Thank you all in advance, best regards
