Re: Singapore timeline Need some advice !?!?

Hey guys I was pondering a few things and need a bit of advice...i know a lot of you have gone through the process and are in the process and awaiting just like me... Iv mentioned before about my background the marriage etc.

I was just wondering if the visa officer in my case would like more proof on the "intent to re-establish in Canada " would they put my fapplication on "hold"? and would that lead to an undue delay?

Also I was wondering the main issue with my application (though this is from my eyes *sigh*) Is that im living with my spouse here for the past 1.5 years(2 come october), before that I was studying in India and going to Canada only on the holidays. I dont have a mortage or lease of my own ofcourse and i had planned on staying with my parents until i settle and in and know where i will be taking up my masters etc.

Does anyone know if they would put us on an interview que? if i remain with my husband in malaysia to awaite the PR?As most ppl here I RLY RLY RLY WANA AVOID and interview because iv dated my husband for 7 years engaged for 1 married for 1.5 (2 in octb) And being apart was just to hard so i decided to stay.

Would it be more advisable at this point to go back to canada and start to re-establish while i waite for my husband?
Should I fix a date buy plane tickets find a rental ship my things etc and send all of this ?

Any help or advice would be great.
Praying for good news for all of us wat ever stage we are in this application?

p.s isnt there a requirement that we have to remain in canada for 2 years out of 5 so i dont know y anyone would undergo this process if theres no intent to settle in Canada.
I think CIC's major concern is to see that the sponsor returns to Canada as soon as the spouse becomes PR. Also genuineness of the relationship as described more elaborately in the recent posts here. So this is your sole responsibility to substantiate your proofs with as many documents as possible. That's it.

Hey :)

I think you like most people are overthinking this... you won't be put on the dreaded interview list if they doubt your intention to return to Canada. Nor will this delay your application processing. The only reason that people end up on the interview list is if the visa officer reviewing your file and evidence doesn't believe your relationship is genuine. You have solid proof of you living with your husband in his home country, lengthy time together, both university educated. In my opinion you won't be required for an interview

I think the evidence you provided of your intent to return to Canada is sufficient. If you still have doubts you can always send a case specific enquiry and include additional information of your intent. You can also let them know that upon your return to Canada you will be staying with your family until you can find suitable accommodations for you and your husband

It really isn't as difficult as you think to get through this... I am fully aware that once that application is submitted you have doubts ... but again in my opinion the hardest part is the waiting...

Stay strong and pray for patience along this journey :)

They absolutely do not care about employment status or education, the family department officers are only bothered about the relationship between the sponsor and applicant and the evidence you provide.

We were in the interview list. The interviewers said to my spouse, that everything on the application was okay. They put us through the interview queue because our wedding photos looked much younger than our age(and THATS WHAT THEY DOUBTED!!!). I only work a part time job here and never sent money back home except for gifts during the application process. They never even bothered about what I make here. Just asked which company I work for and questions about how well she knows my habits etc etc.
Like that's something to make us wait 14 months longer for the interview process. :mad:
benstu plz can u tell me what kind of evidence I need to bring in interview bcuz after 17 month of waiting they send me a letter that my spouse is on interview list ,what kind of question they ask and how long do we need to wait.thanks.

CDNMOM: you are absaloutly right i do think i am sitting here over thinking everything and going nuts on it. I had planned to remain with my husband until he got his visa. on the form i said ill be going back by april of 2015 i thought that would be suffiecient. on a few forums i saw some ppl in manila etc who ended up getting a letter saying they want more proof that the couple intends to settle in canada. ...I suppose ill pruchase my ticket ship my things and give both the invoices and hope its sufficient enough that my husband can accompany home :)
thanks for your reply ,wishes it really calmed me down.
Good luck !

Hi K2014! Share with you about sad news of interview letter. Normally, your letter was mentioned waiting time for interview date is within 24 months. Do you have that information? I also received interview letter when my application reached 14 months, I think you and me applied same time. My letter did not mention waiting time, just wait. Do you same me?

Looks like our timeframe is the same. i received my evidence and email on our interview. have you heard anything on your interview?
