Questions About Outland Sponsorship

[Rihao]

Hi Everyone,

I am pretty new to the forum. I am Canadian Citizen and my gf is an international student in China. We both are in Canada now. We have been long distance for 4 years and living together for 1.5 years.

I have some questions want to ask if someone can kindly help me out

1, Right now we are both students, we have written a letter said that we will have financial support once we graduate, but for now we can only get funding from our parents. Will not sufficient funding raise a red flag?

2, We are thinking of applying outland, HongKong VO. How long generally will it take?

3, Regarding on mail the document, which address in Mississauga we need to mail for outland application? Do we need to mail some stuff to Mississauga and some to Hongkong?

4, What is the procedure after we mailing our documents?

5, What kind of fees we need to pay? For example: Sponsorship Application, Principal Applicant, and etc....

Thank you so much! I have read many posts from this forum and I think you guys are super helpful!

1, when sponsoring a spouse, there is no financial minimum you need to meet. some people have done as you have done and explained to CIC how you will support yourselves, but you will not be refused based on your income.

2, sorry, I can't answer this, but check out this thread where you should be able to get specific information about this visa office. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/hong-kong-timeline-t82193.0.html

3, all your documents will be mailed together to the Mississauga office.

4, sit tight and wait for any extra info requests which may or may not come

5, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/result.asp?countrySelect=CA&lob=clc and http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/result.asp?countrySelect=CA&lob=rprf - Sponsorship application, Principal Applicant, and Right of Permanent Residence Fees - in total, $1040.

good luck with your application!
