Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office
Hello All,
I need urgent help from you guys. I submitted my application to Missisauga office back in May 2014 and received an email on July 21, 2014 that my sponsorship application has been approved and I am eligible to sponsor my wife and that my wife's permanent residence application has been forwarded to visa office in London for further processing.
Today I received an email from London office that my wife is not eligible for immigration to canada because she has failed to submit enough documents to prove that her husband (me) is currently living in Canada as permanent resident. This is the excerpt of the email:
I have reviewed your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it. It appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of the Act.
I have determined that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act because you are a person described in paragraph R130 (1)(b)of the Act. You may therefore be inadmissible to Canada.
130. (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a sponsor, for the purpose of sponsoring a foreign national who makes an application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the family class or an application to remain in Canada as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class under subsection 13(1) of the Act, must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who
(b) resides in Canada
You have not submitted any evidence to demonstrate that your sponsor was residing in Canada at the time of your application, or that he is residing there now. Your sponsor is not a Canadian national, and therefore he is required to be resident and present in Canada during the period of this application. This raises concerns that your sponsor may no longer be eligible to sponsor you because your sponsor may not be resident and present in Canada.
Please use this opportunity to address my concerns and indicate any further information you would like to be considered in respect of your application.
They have given us 30 days to respond or else our application will be rejected based on the information available in the file.
They have already approved my sponsorship application and living status in canada before forwarding my wife's application to London office, how come they came up with something like this, makes no sense at all.
Please help me what should I do now to prove that I am currently living in canada as a permanent resident and what documents do I have to submit?.
Thanks in advance
