Your children are Canadian so he won't have to sponsor them. They won't be listed as dependents for sponsorship. So, no, you won't use the extra dependents form. You will list the children on your Additional Family Information form, but else where, they aren't considered dependents since they are Canadian and don't need to be sponsored.

When you arrive to visit with a return ticket, (I'm assuming you're coming from Great Britain since you said you lived there before with your husband, correct me if I'm wrong), you shouldn't have a problem, but really it is all dependent on the CBSA officer. You must use words such as visiting or vacation. You can show joint funds your husband and you have together, as well, if your husband isn't flying in with you, he will be outside waiting for you to confirm all this as well. At the end of the day, if the border officer is concerned you won't leave, they can turn you away, but if u use the right language (visiting), if you don't have a million suitcases packed with your things, and if you can show that you have indeed submitted the PR application, with proof of payment, and maybe even sponsor approval by the time you go, it should be fine.

I received an email this morning with two attached letters. The first one asks for the following but only the IMM1344 highlighted and second one specifically addressed to me with file No. requires the August version of IMM1344.
Extracts of first letter:
• Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM1344 08-2014 or later);
• Generic Application form for Canada (IMM0008 06-2014 or later); and
• Schedule A (IMM5669 12-2012 or later) – as opposed to IMM008 Schedule 1 (if applicable)

Extracts of second letter:
• You must provide a current and completed Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM1344) bearing signatures.
They have asked to send the form to this address
Application Intake – FCP
CPC ─ Mississauga / CTD ─ Mississauga
P.O. Box 6100, Station A / CP 6100, Station A /
Mississauga, Ontario
L5A 4H4

I guess on this address having P.O. Box number, courier cannot be send. But if I send through normal mail it will take lot of days from Pakistan (2 week, I suppose)

Question: Should I send on the above addressed as they have asked or courier it to 2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300, Mississauga, ON, where I initially sent my package on August 6, 2014.

Hello Guys,

Im a newbee here. So glad to found this forum. Since CIC will not entertain all of our questions with regards to our application I'm so happy that I can talk to someone who has same situation as mine. Anyways, I have sent a spousal application for my spouse and it got received on July 16, 2014. I got an approval for step 1 of me qualifying as a sponsor on Sep 4, 2014. I am waiting for it to be received by the Manila office to be processed. I am a bit worried though, because I have not included a CENOMAR on the application. Is it really required? Does anyone here who did not submit CENOMAR and didn't have any problems? I sent an email to Visa section in the manila office asking about CENOMAR and they said it is not applicable to us since we are married and I've included that email thread to the application as a proof that I got an information from the visa office. But still worried.

Salamat!

Today I have sent new IMM1344 along with the copy of letters to Application Intake CPC – Mississauga via courier. I asked the clerk on the reception desk to double check with his supervisor if PO Box address could be delivered via courier, which he confirmed, saying since the address has postal code it will be delivered. The receipt has tracking number plus they will confirm the receipt of package via text message as well. Now, have to wait till Wednesday!!!

I applied to sponser my spouse with inland application. It will take 12 months to get the application accepted for first stage. So as my spouse living with me and enjoy implied status, my concern is about her health coverage here in Alberta. Because Alberta heath care only covers when you have valid visa and extend up to 90 days. So what about the remaining time frame. Please update me in this regard. Your comments highly appreciated.

I would like to know how all of you would feel receiving a letter like this:

They requested my husbands Pass Port which they have had since July 07/14. They said all is ready to issue Visa.

Then Thursday after finding a site through their network for personal inquiry on our case we received a letter that it appears that it will take another few months to finish our case.

I hate the darn Canadian System.
They have lied so many times I cannot take it any longer. After receiving GCSM notes last year I sent a letter stating they had not started the Back Ground Check. They replied the next day saying June 24/13 that yes they had.
Then when my husband had his Interview July 07/14 the Visa Officer was shocked to see that it had not been started at all. He then said it could take 2 weeks or 2 months and we would be able to leave Pakistan before my Visa for here Expired which is Sept 09/14.

Please I need feed back in what to do. They have lied to us so many times its unbelievable ... Please help??

You are married so they are correct, However it could be asked later on for the equivalent known as Advisory of Marriages.
I sent in a scanned copy of my wife's CENOMAR as when we were married her embassy kept the original.

We will have to both be patient and hope the Advisory of Marriages is not requested. Perhaps it may be wise to prepare for that possibility and apply for it ahead of time. I think we will be applying for that when we apply for her Philippine marriage Certificate. We were married in Thailand and would like copies of our Philippine Certificate.

You don't have to do anything except apply and obtain a Social Insurance Number (S.I.N).upon applying, you will be given a temporary number on a paper certificate. Bring all the paperwork, identity documents you can, to the office when you apply.

EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS THE MOMENT THEY GET A PR !!! It's a VERY critical identity document and will be used all over the place. I also highly recommend you open up a bank account, with just a few dollars and ask for a bank card. You need to build up as much identity documents as possible now. I even got my wife a library card afer first sending her an empty registered letter as proof to the library of residency.

You never told us what application, so I assume a spousal PR. CIC is unbearably slow. NOTHING will ever happen fast with them. They have an online tool where you can check status. For an "Outland" app, the only thing that CIC has ever impressed me with is how fast their turn around was for first stage: Approval of Sponsor. We heard within 3 months. I vaguely recollect 6 weeks, but all our forms were in order. I hope yours were too.If you are already in Canada, meaning an inland app, you are a much lower priority and will wait maybe a year , just for first stage.

If the VISA office put it in writing, no problem. You have their word. strange though because my wife and I had to submit a CENOMAR, for my wife, 2 years ago when we applied.

It's up to your provincial health care. They should have published regs. I take it your wife is here in canada on a TRV ??? In Ontario, a TRV is not sufficient for coverage and we had to have a PR first, but you don't need to wait until you get the PR Card in the mail, as long as you get the paper notice of PR in the mail. I'm going to assume it's the same in Alberta but you guys got oil, we don't. Maybe they are more generous there. In any event, call Alberta Health for your answer. In the meantime , get Blue Cross or something.
