Spousal sponsorship

[Leon]

My question:

I was wondering if she can apply for visitor visa while they are reviewing sponsorship application?

She can apply but spouses are often denied due to being thought a risk to overstay.

HI:

I'm sponsoring my husband, I live in Canada and he lives in Peru. I sent the application in March, got the first answer in April and then they sent the application to Lima to start my husband process and we haven't heard from them since then, it's been four month. I sent them an email a week ago but no answer.
How long do they take to answers your e mail ? Should I worry about it ? I really want to know if they receive my husband's application ....
I hope you can help me
Thanks !

Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.


The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

Hi Everyone

I just found out that the application my wife had submitted to the CIC-M on june 30 2011 was not acknowledged yet by the CIC-M and when my wife has called yesterday they said they didnot recieve any application by that name. She sent it through Canada Post Express. When we tracked it on the Canada Post internet, the delivery confirmation is cleary written there and it says it has been delivered on june 30 2011. I dont get it. Can any one advise me and my wife what to do to make sure if the CIC-M has recieved the application.

All comments are highly appriciated.

Hi
It is likely that they have not opened your package yet. The CIC website says that they are working on applications received on June 29. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp There is no official acknowledgement of the receipt of the package, they contact you when a decision is
reached on first stage approval, (sponsorship). If you sent it Canada Post Express, there might be a tracking number and you can tell if it arrived at the destination.
There are many knowledgable people on this site who will know more than me. Good luck, I think you will find that your package is there.

I was concerned about the same thing. I went to my MP's office and they phoned CIC on a special number and was confirmed that my package was received. I would have thought that once it was received that they would have had a computer generated acknowledgment letter sent out as the packages are opened and sorted and filed for preparation of processing. The package is usually takes two weeks to process and when ecas indicates that they are so many days on certain dated applications usually means that they have more or less approved the files or finished them on the date posted. This is what I was told by the MP and the processing time I was informed by CIC on the call centre number.

Thanks for the insight but i was wondering if you wouldnt mind telling me what you meant MP. I will have my wife contact them. and if there is any number to reach on them.
Thanks

MP = Member of Parliament... she would have to search the net for the MP of her area. Each member usually has a person that deals with immigration. At least mine does.
