Good day
I'm filling in my application for my Husband to come to canada in The Basic guide 5525 Step 7 question 2 it says if your spouse plans to work in canada you need to fill and submit the work permit. Did everyone do this?
If you guys are applicants for in land sponsorship you can submit the work permit, but if the process was out land, you just can require the visitor visa

Hi everyone i checked the status today in ECAS and my sponsorship status says 'decision made'. What does that mean? I had just received the AOR 2 days ago, no sponsor approval or anything else yet.

That sounds fastest! But when you apply outland, they just sent you the AOR2 when they already have the decision made.
Other situation could be they will send back the package for you reapply.
Tell us more about your situations, maybe it will help us to figure out.

If ECAS says Decision Made for sponsor, and Application Received for the applicant, a decision has been made (yes/no) on the sponsor's eligibility.

I am a Dutch citizen and married to a Canadian citizen we applied the spousal application on 2007 and found out in 2016 from CBSA office that our spousal application was refused on 2015 I came to Canada in 2011 and stay here till 2014 as a visitor because my application took long time with no answer from immigration and every year i extend my visitor record but in 2014 they didn't extended so we my wife and daughter went to the Netherlands for two months and when we came back to Canada at the airport the CBSA officer stooped us and seized my passport saying that I am inadmissible and you have to hire a lawyer so I did and I got a date for hearing at the IAD and the decision was that there was not enough evidence for inadmissibility but to remain in Canada the IAD send me back to CBSA for further examination so when I went there they give me an exclusion order because my passport which was seized by them is now expired ( I didn't had it to extend it) and also they told me that my spousal application was refused based on my inadmissibility so we went back to our lawyer and she put two application for judicial review and leave but unfortunately the federal court has dismissed my case and now I am looking for any any other options to stay here because if I go back I don't see any other option to reunite with my family as we tried first to settle down in the Netherlands but it was not possible too so pleas pleas advise me if there is any other solution to this .
Thanks in advance

Just panicking as usual with application.. MyCIC show Final decision: your application is in process. Normal? And background check is too.

Hey Guys,

One small question regarding the background declaration form. I am sending it with my application and I signed it electronically by typing my name in it as stated in the form. But, I heard some people discussing that if you are sending your BG form as a hard copy that you have to manually sign it. Electronic sign is only valid for upload.

But I'm surprised as the form itself says 'I agree that by typing my name I am electronically signing the form'. Can anyone advice please?

Hello Everyone!!

Just wondering if someone could give me some advice on my situation. Me and my partner have been together 2 years and I am expecting a baby this July. He will be coming to Canada next month and then we will get married in June and will be applying through the inland spouse sponsorship program. Does it make our application look bad or have a negative effect if we only get married a month or 2 after him being here and then apply? We want to be married before the baby comes which is why we are getting married more quickly.
Also, I was with him in south africa (where he's from) previously and we were going to get married there in december but it was also really important to me that my family be at my wedding and they weren't able to fly out there which is also another reason we wanted to wait until he was in canada. Is it okay for us to get married in canada so quick and then apply or will it look suspicious?

**Also, once I found out I was pregnant I returned to canada as I knew I wanted our family to live here and me and my partner have had to spend 4 months apart whilst we sort everything out....don't know if this will make a difference? We have everything prepared and plenty proof of relationship etc I just thought it would be better for me to return to Canada to 1- make sure I had good health care during the pregnancy, and 2 -get everything prepared for him coming here and applying etc.


Any feedback/advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

Hi Canadasnk!
Your situations is very common. You will use all your relationship to show it is a long relationship. But because you are pregnant, I believe there is some change in the process, I just don't know exact what. Look in this forum and maybe you will find some information, or in the CIC website.
Congratulations for your baby and your wedding.
Cheers.

I have a question ... I see that as per the new checklist 5533, they ask for the "Notice of Assessment or an equivalent document, issued by Canada Revenue Agency".

How come they didn't ask for "Option C" which in my experience has been always the document to establish income support ? I do have access to both ... which one should I attach ?
