My application is in process and I was single when applied for PR, now planning to get married and add my husband in my application and then I may receive my PR. Because it takes a couple more months.xls said:
Spousal sponsorship
- Thread starter Leon
- Start date
Please do not do that, you will never be able to sponsor him.Mithra31 said:I was told to wait until you get the PR then submit ur sponsorship file.
This is a change in your family structure, therefore you must inform CIC immediately.
Have him do a medicals and police report now, raise a CSE, include his passport data page, marriage certificate, some marriage photos, his medicals and police certificates and a comprehensive letter of explanation.
Second option will be to wait until your application is approved and you have LANDED before getting married. That way you can sponsor him after marriage
Congratulations on your marriage and good luck with CIC.
You have two options.Mithra31 said:
1) You wait with the marriage until you get your PR. Once you get your PR and land as a PR, you can get married and then you can sponsor your husband. Note that as a PR sponsor, you must be living in Canada during the processing time so you may be separated from your husband for months.
2) Or get married now and notify the visa office immediately about the marriage and that you need to add your husband to your application. You will need to re-do all paperwork of your application that would include your husband and your husband has to apply for his PR too. He will need back ground checks and medicals. If he fails the background checks or medicals, neither of you will be able to get PR.
What is absolutely NOT an option would be to get married now and not notify the visa office, get your PR as a single person and then try to sponsor your husband. During your application process, you must immediately notify immigration if there are any changes in your family composition. Not doing that, basically getting married and landing as married on a visa you got when you were single, would be classified as misrepresentation. It would prevent you from ever sponsoring your husband and could cause your own PR to be revoked.
Most people separate the app into 3 envelopes: sponsor forms/documents, applicant forms/documents and relationship proofs.mohan99 said:
The envelopes aren't sent separately. They are put into one bigger envelope and sent together.TANMEX said:
Hi,
My friend has prepared his application to sponsor his wife. Now he is confused as to which address he should send the application. Due to the Canada post strike, he wants to send the application by courier and application package includes his wife's Work permit application also. Does the application should go to the address below? And is it okay to send the OWP and Sponsorship application in one package to this address?
Courier address (no public drop-offs)

Hello everyone,
I posted this in another thread, but then I saw that this one has more pages. I am posting here too because I thought maybe more people come here and will have a better chance at seeing this post.
I am having some trouble and I don't even know who to ask. I met my wife in 2008 through a dating service website in China. We got married three years ago in China, and hired a lawyer to applied for her immigration in Canada. I come back and forth between China and Canada.
It was denied because they said we missed an interview in Hong Kong. I live in Canada and she lives a few hours away from Hong Kong, but the problem was we were never informed of this interview. The lawyer said he was not informed, I never received any mail, call, email... nothing.
Once we found out, the lawyer said he submitted an appeal. That was in January 2015. We have not really heard from anyone since then. No news, no updates. Lawyer says the immigration people says it is still processing, but it has been over 1.5 years. Also, the lawyer told us we can't go through ADR. I don't know why.
Can anyone help me? Is this normal? Is the lawyer playing tricks to get us to pay more money somehow? Is is normal to not go through ADR. I want to go back to China to see my wife, but I am afraid they will ask to interview me in Canada and I have to rush back or I can't make it back.
Please, I miss my wife, and she misses me, but we can't be together... Our marriage is strained because of this. She thinks I am lying to her. Please help me.

hi guys,
I need some help with a question in regards to Travel document issuance from Islamabad. I was not sure where to post this question.
My wife is in Karachi, Pakistan right now and she needs to apply for a travel document from Islamabad because there is some issue with getting her PR card because of the Canada Post strike. My question is that can we go to Islamabad office DIRECTLY to obtain a travel document the same day or do we have to send her passport through mail from Karachi to Islamabad and then wait to receive it back?
Secondly, how long is it taking for Islamabad office to issue travel documents? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
My husband has his PR Interview on the 26th of july in Etobicoke. I am the sponsor and also a Canadian Citizen. Can anyone share with me what documents they brought to the interview? And perhaps a list of odd questions they might ask. I read the post with 100 questions and we have those completed.
