I want to keep this thread updated with some valuable information so that members can have a clear picture of what is going on in their files. I want to share what usually takes place from CPC TO VO.
Overview of CPC activities related to sponsorship applications Spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children overseas. CPC-M assesses the sponsorship application, provides a recommendation on the
sponsor’s eligibility and reviews applications for permanent residence for completeness. If sponsors are found eligible, their sponsorship information and a positive recommendation are transferred electronically to the appropriate visa office through GCMS while the IMM 0008 and supporting documents in paper format are sent to the visa office for final processing.
If sponsors are found ineligible the documentation may be transferred to the visa office with a negative sponsorship recommendation, or the application for a permanent resident visa may be discontinued, depending on the sponsor’s stated preference. If an ineligible sponsor has chosen not to continue with the sponsorship,
the CPC closes the electronic sponsorship record.
Reviewing sponsorship and permanent residence applications: Spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children.
CPC-M reviews all sponsorship and permanent residence application forms and supporting documents to confirm that the following are included and complete:
• sponsorship forms, including undertaking and agreement, completed and signed;
• sponsorship application includes only spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and/or dependent children;
• application for permanent residence forms, completed and signed; proof of payment of correct fees at a bank;
• all required supporting documents.
If the application does not include the minimum requirements, CPCM returns the application and all documents to the sponsor, and requests missing information and documents.If the application is complete, CPC-M:
• assesses sponsor’s eligibility and completes Eligibility Check.
• writes on sponsorship application “Met or Not Met”; and
• enters basic data information into CPCS. (Case Processing Case System) If sponsorship requirements are met, CPC-M:
• downloads sponsorship information and recommendation to GCMS;
• forwards application for permanent residence and supporting documents to the visa office responsible for the country of residence of the sponsored persons, with any additional information, such as:
if the sponsor received a visa abroad to come to Canada as refugee or adopted foreign national, provides relevant information including the office of visa issuance and file number;
if the sponsor was granted permanent residence subject to conditions, provides information on the date these conditions were met or must be met;
if there has been enforcement action involving the foreign national, particularly details of removals, office responsible for enforcement action etc. that will help to ensure that any removal costs are recovered by the visa office, if applicable;
any other relevant information that may affect an officer’s decision.
So your Visa Office receives so many information on the sponsor, how he/she immigrate to Canada. The sponsor's profile can play a positive or negative role in the sponsored person's application.
