Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

Okay. Hope she is not in too much pain.

Nah. It's dead already from a root canal. The worry is that it will fall out. But they did tell us they can make a temporary denture for it (A "flipper" they call it) overnight if that does happen..

Well, I have a slightly prejudiced view, of course. Personally, not only would I think it would be worth it, but maybe even more.

That said, yes, they probably wouldn't want to pay $200k if they were not going to make any of that money back by working.

There is "advantages" to calling Canada home (even becoming a citizen). Part of the reason they brought in the RPRF, is to "offset" the cost of running the immigration program, and as a means to pay for the increase in "market value". If you live in the Commonwealth, or you live in the USA, then there likely isn't a value increase sufficient. But, if you want to work in industries where Canada is considered a leader, then you want to pay the money to be here.

However, I think consultants are slimy, greasy "human beings" ("so-called judges"). Not all of them, of course, but many...

Definitely, the people/applicants paying Cooksultants the CAD$200k knew that there was some fraud involved.

Profiler knows that we received a request for further proof of marriage back on June 3rd. For those just beginning this process I encourage you to send as much proof as possible up front of co-habitation! We sent a pretty good bulk of it back when I applied March 2015 including:

• wedding photos
• 3 affidavits from friends/family members
• other photos dated with explanations from the time we first met through wedding/application day

Apparently it wasn't enough. My rep (who finally responded to me today. YAY!) said gather as many affidavits as possible (I've got 4 people scurrying to meet the deadline of end of the month). Along with that, I'm submitting handwritten love notes, bills with our names on it, drivers licenses with our shared address on it, proof of goods purchased for home.

That was posted for many others.... @sylvain1 and I have repeated that diatribe more than a few times since March.

If you have Stat Decl's and not Affidavits, then I would say you have lots. but I think the DL's, your parents submissions (Stat Decl, right?), should be lots. Last night I did itemize what we sent -- they didn't question us at all...

EDIT: here is that list: Our Submission.

Also, the link in my signature (to the post you commented on) has the list that is directly taken from the inland processing manual that CIC officers use.

Absolutely. Sometimes, it's just better to follow the rules. And it's really not that hard....

Cool! Yeah, I just wanted to follow up on where I left off and share with folks who might be new what I'm running into.

I've been calling these affidavits, but they are letters written by friends, then edited by my rep into legalese, then taken to a local attorney to be signed in front of then notarized.

I am going to openly admit something ...

@browning911 and @legolg need to get DM's and land soon. The wait (suspense) is KILLING ME. I am *almost* ready to start doctoring images to offer up to the internet gods so they will release the DM and landing interview letters!

Oh, ya no probs. I wanted to offer it as a PSA for folks who encounter the request. That's also why I put it in my signature. Affidavits are a little different -- Stat Decl's are equivalent to sworn testimony, where Affidavits are still affirmed, but not the same gravity as SD's. Just wanted to clear that one up .

https://www.servicealberta.ca/pdf/ltmanual/STATUTORY__DECLARATION.pdf that's a blank form-fill pdf that you can type what you want into it.

Ours stated this:
"
1) Mr Profiler and Mr Profiler married on June 19 2015, at Kitchener Ontario. No one from Mr Profiler's family attended, at his request.

2) With the exclusion of 1 month, Ms Profiler has lived at their family home in Cambridge, Ontario since June 2015 continuously.

3) I would characterize their relationship as deepening and on-going.
"

<and my parents included:>
"
4) Ms Profiler is an excellent step-mother to our grandson.
"
It's then taken to a Notary to be signed by the person who wishes to attest to the statements, and them and the Notary sign it together at that time.

Thank you very much

This, just happened (@legolg @browning911):

 

[carolbb23]

The missus has a question, that she has asked me to pass along.

For anyone who landed in the late-April time frame, have any of you received your PR Card yet? She is booking her flight for Moscow this week, and it's scaring her that she doesn't have it (I already told her what to do).

No Mr carol not got his pr card as yet

BTW, I sent a follow up e-mail to Sahid's office and just got a response:

That was the joke of yesterday... that she is going to be a gypsy when she goes home. She invited herself to babushka's couch for a few nights (until she gets tired of the snoring), then to her parents (she is waiting for them to put a couch in her old room), and she told one of her friends that she will be wiziting (and staying on her couch) for a few nights too...

Now, I need to find out just what kind of gypsy we are dealing with... hopefully not the kind that cast curses...

BTW today is our anniversary... I forgot to tell her when I dropped her at work....I did text though. Guess flowers and dinner are in order..

Happy anniversary to the Profilers our anniversary is on June 30
