Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello Everyone,
I am sponsoring my wife. Mississauga received my application on June 30 2016. My application went to London on August, 23 2016. Today my wife got an e-mail. It is an additional document request. The request is as follows:

1. Additional Photos including Rukhsati ceremony.
2. An attested translation of Urdu Nikah Nama.
3. Proof of communication.
4. Copies of sponsor's passport entry/exit stamps.

A while back, I linked my paper application online. Can someone please help me. Online, it says click on the blue button to upload photos. Does this allow me to upload only one photo? Because I need to upload at least 5-6 photos front and back (names of people appearing). Also, I don't have too much proof of communication. Only what's app. Can I download the chat history somehow? Thanks You Brothers/Sisters

Do you recommend my wife in Pakistan to submit all the requested documents online, or mail them in? What is the address to mail to England? Thanks You

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Your file is at a very important stage. Prepare your answer very carefully.
I think you will be able to upload only one file/picture against each button (option)
1- Put all required pictures along description in a world (ms office) file. Convert it to pdf (Print the file by selecting pdf). This will help you having all pictures in one file. You can upload this pdf file.
2- To download chat history whats app
To backup your chats, go to WhatsApp > Menu Button > Settings > Chats > Chat backup > Back Up. To export a copy of the history of an individual chat or group, use the Email chat feature: An email will be composed with your chat history attached as a .txt document.

In case your chat history file is large and it cant be emailed. If you have an iphone you can export your chat to icloud.

You cannot use just chat history. You will need to provide whatsapp phone screen shots, facebook conversation screen shots, emails and skype call screen shots.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Thank You very much my brothers,

The document that I received says, 'the above information must be received in our office within 45 days.' However, I think since my wife has all the rukhsati photos on computer and she also has the attested translation of nikah nama, my wife was thinking of uploading documents on mycic. Is it enough to just upload the documents online, or do I HAVE TO mail them as well since they say 'must be received in our office.'

Thank You Brothers

Hello,

I have following queries regarding landing, it would be appreciable if i can get prompt and positive reply from you guys especially those who have landed in last 1-2 months.

1. Do i have to fill out B4 form or create a list of detailed items that i'm carrying upon arrival? What's the max limit you can bring, all goods equivalent to $10 000?

2. Furthermore, i was told by someone that i need to take pictures of jewellery items, is it true?

Thanks,
Hi Raheel,

So I just landed a few weeks ago so I am quite fresh with the process of landing so I came accross this forum where someone has shown steps to how to go about it. Here is the link: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/form-b4-goods-to-followaccompanying-list-how-to-t44793.0.html

And I also went through the cic landing process site and got some info for that and how to fill the form and they have the updated form on their site. Here is the link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/newcomers/before-border.asp

So for my jewelry gold, I took all pictures and went to jewelers got receipts for each and every set if I didn't have their receipts and I listed everything a proper way with serial numbers. And you can carry as much gold as you want there is not limit. And as many stuff you want to bring no limit to it.

Also you can carry maximum 10,000 CAD while flying but if you have more then during your flight you will be given a declaration form where you have declare if you have more than 10k. Make sure you have receipts of bank statement of why you are carrying so much and how did you got it. Like one of my relative he was carrying more but wasn't cash but in a form of a cheque cuz the amount was too big but he declared it when he landed so he wouldn't have a problem when putting it in the bank or something.

When you land at the airport, ( i landed in toronto) I was told to go through immigration, then collect bags and then head for customs to declare my goods and goods to follow. And thats what I did, though the officer didn't really check everything but he schemed through it, it hardly took 2 minutes for the process. But make sure your list is complete sometimes officers do check everything and question if anything is missing.

I hope all of this helps you :)

Good Luck!

There is no limit on first time you arrive ... Just make sure to declare whatever you have ..
You will need to show your jewellery otherwise... Incase you are not carrying jewellery during first time landing then have photos to show what and how much you might bring in later ... on cash there is no limit on first time or later... but you will need to show the source of cash, next time you bring it in Canada...
Thanks a lot.
