Oh okay. Thanks! :)
 
Hello there

we are at the last stage of submitting our application for a spousal sponsorship. (My husband is the sponsor).

two questions

1. I'm currently residing in Germany and it says on the checklist that I should include a residence permit if I live in a country different from my country of nationality. The German residence permit comes as a card accompanied by a "Supplementary Paper" that goes with it. Both the card and the supplementary paper are in German. Do I need to get them translated?
2. Would it be useful to include my post-grad degrees or would those be unnecessary documents as I have already answered some questions about my education background in one of the forms.

Thanks in advance for your help

Just curious, once an outland sponsorship is completely approved, how long is the permanent visa valid for? What's the time limit for us to enter Canada?

Permanent Resident visas don't expire. They can be revoked, but they don't expire. In order to become a permanent resident though, you will need to land by a certain time. That's generally tied to the anniversary of your medical exam.

If your German residence permit is in German, I am afraid it will have to be translated into English or French.

I didn't include copies of my post-grad degrees.
 
You must translate and certify your german documents. You can include a copy of your school trascript than your degree and if it is in german translate it. You can write a letter indicating that you have a degree and you are capable of working in canada with those skills it is a strong support for your sponsorship. I did it for my husband. He did commerce in sri lanka and I did all that. Now days, Canada do not just accept people, they want skilled people even if it is spousal sponsorship. So, do it.

Nope, the person need to travel out of the country before their medical and police clearance expire. it is true PR visa don't expire but the medical and police clearance do and they would ask you do it again if you stay in the country while it expires.

There is absolutely NO REQUIREMENT to be a skilled worker or have any specific level of education in a spousal app. It is based solely on the relationship with the Canadian sponsor. An illiterate person that has never worked a day in their life will be approved if they can show a genuine relationship.

COPRs have an expiry date stated right on them. If a person does not land by the COPR expiry date, their app is closed and they must start from scratch.

Yes but do it as soon as possible . One you received your SA email the VO that is handling your application and explain why they have changed their mind to non accompany. You will have to write a letter of explanation of the reasons.
