Spousal sponsorship

[novembre2013]

hello everyone
I have a problem. I am canadian citizen wishing to sponsor my husband.I gathered all documents required by CIC for my sponsorship application.Some of them are in french and others in english. I dont know what to do.
Can I send documents in both languages or should I translate them?
For example
- I have 2 last Notice of Assessement in English and the rest in French
-letter from the bank in English
-Letter from my former employer in french.
So can I apply in English and still send some documents in french?
Thank you
PS I know it's a stupid question probably, but I just cant find the answer ???

Documents can be in French and English. Those two languages DO NOT need to be translated.

Doesn't matter, as long as its either or. Do you both speak either French or English as far as communication goes, is there a language barrier? That could be a red flag if not.

Yes it is, she is actually building a house there! Congrats on your marriage and your new life, I hope all goes well in you case.

P.S.

I grew up in Tucson, AZ 2 hours from the border; learning Spanish was easy

Is it possible to sponsor spouse if she still have a valid PR card?

No, it's not.

If someone has a PR overseas and does not meet eligibility requirements then they have 2 options:
1. Try to enter Canada and hope they are not reported for residency obligation by CBSA. Then just stay in Canada 2 years straight, and can apply to renew PR card.

2. Formally renounce/give up PR status. Then a spouse who is PR or citizen, could sponsor them again. If you don't renounce your PR status though, it never automatically gets revoked, even if PR card expires.

Hi everyone!

Ok so I passed the medical exam (according to my notes). Does that mean that I would not have to get a re medical done when it expires?

No, it's not.

for option 1 - if they stay in canada 2 years straight......it must be with the 5 years before the PR card expires or they can stay even if its expires?
