Spousal sponsorship

[scylla]

thanku scylla and Leon ,i now understand my options but can u suggest which one would be better for me.as waiting time from

islamabad is 63days + 26 months
buffalo is 63 days + 11months
vegreville 12months + 8months

my husband has 1yr visa and will hopefully then get 1yr workpermit while daughter has trv expiring after 8 months.

Do you have a visa to enter the US? If not - then option #2 (Buffalo) is out. If you're asked to attend an interview it will be held in Buffalo. And we've seen several cases here where people have been refused visit visas to the US, haven't attended their PR interview, the PR was refused and they had to start again from scratch. Only go with Buffalo if you already have a visa to enter the US.

Other than that - it's really a personal choice if you pick inland or outland through Islamabad. I don't think any of us can make that decision for you.

You can apply to extend the TRV of your daughter. As for the husband, if he has a one year study program and completes it, he should get the 1 year PG work permit but at that time, if you apply inland, he should be getting his open work permit anyway so he can work, he just can't leave. If there is a family emergency and they call for him to go back home, he might not be able to come back to Canada which would mean that he would be stuck in Pakistan and you would lose the time you already spent waiting for inland and have to apply again outland. If there is a risk that he might have to go back to Pakistan, you could also apply outland through Islamabad right now and hope he gets his visa before his 1 year study permit and 1 year work permit expire.

Thanku for guiding me about US visa, i didnt knw its that difficult to get ,actually on cic website they have mentioned buffalo as visa office for canada ,see here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp

thats y i thought that to b n option ,but lets consider it out.

from remaining two ,i asked for n advice coz u ppl see many cases here and have hands on experience.I have seen many ppl here not considering inland as a good option mainly because of length of time but my problem is my home country has even lengthier time.I would want to knw that the figures they show on website are so followed too ?or they can be double than that.
What if i apply inland and in 2yrs for any reason my application is gone, my husband can apply through experienced class category?
also if my husband leaves canada during inland application is in process ,will my daughters application be not processed?

The processing time can be faster or slower than what is given. For inland, it is possible that you have first stage approval in 6 months but they list as the average 11-12. It is also possible that Vegreville wants to interview in which case they send your file to the local CIC office in the town you live and if that happens, sometimes you have to wait 2-3 years for this interview depending on how busy that office is.

For outland, the 2 years listed are the time it takes to process 80% of cases. If your case is in the fastest 30% or fastest 50% it will be faster.

If you apply inland and lose your application, if your husband did only a 1 year course and 1 year work permit, he can not apply through CEC. He needs either 2 years skilled work or 2 years studies and 1 year skilled work. If he could get his work permit changed to a regular work permit, he would buy more time and he could get sponsored by employer under PNP or possibly apply through PNP as a graduate.

I do not know what would happen to the inland application of a dependent child if the sponsored parent loses their application. I have never heard of such a case. I would assume it continues but I am not sure.

@ Leon

Sir, On the Generic Application form it is stated their that the principal applicant should be the one to fill up the form but under Contact Information I wrote my husband's contact information so whenever the CPC-M will send us their reply it would be faster considering that my husband is already in Canada compare here in the philippines it might take some time.

on requirements of CEC ,they say for Graduates:

12 months of qualifying work Experience within the last 24 months and graduated from a recognized post-secondary educational institution and obtained the necessary Canadian educational credential.(from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5609ETOC.asp)

He is doing 1yr Masters in engg from uni of Waterloo.Is it not fulfilling the condition of graduating from recognized institution?They r not using the term "2 yr studies"

He is doing 1yr Masters in engg from uni of Waterloo.Is it not fulfilling the condition of graduating from recognized institution?They r not using the term "2 yr studies"

See here:

If you want to apply based on your Canadian credentials, you must complete either:

* a full-time Canadian post-secondary educational program of at least two years or
* a one-year Master’s program (certificates and diplomas cannot be counted) and an additional year of education, obtained in Canada, before admission into the one-year program (for a total of two years).

So his masters program will only qualify if he completes a one year program in Canada before he enters the masters program.

Need Help in understanding the status of ECAS:

Sponsorship ​

We received your application to sponsor ABC on October 3, 2011.

We started processing your application on December 12, 2011.

We sent you a letter on December 12, 2011 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Please tell, is this approval of sponsorship?

 

[mapledreams]

@ Jatt_Punjabi

Yes! Congratulations!

Think of it this way, if it wasn't approved, why would they start 'processing" your application right?

Dear Friends,

my visa office is Damascus, Family, Spousal

processing time is 13.

I am now in my 8th and after asking them for situation of my file i received such an email:

"Dear Sir:
Please be advised that the application is undergoing further background verifications. Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict how long these will take. Once background checks are completed, we will be able to proceed with the application.
If we require additional information, we will contact you. In the meantime, if there is any change to the information submitted for the application, please inform us as soon as possible.
Please note that we are devoting all available resources to ensure that our priority Family Class cases (spouses, partners, and dependent children) are processed as quickly as possible. This application was received in our office on ***. Our objective is to finalize routine cases within 13 months of the date of receipt. Since further checks are required, this is not a routine case and finalizing it might take longer.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. "

What do you think about it?
Is it a ordinary email or have to i be worry about it?

You are lucky to get a response, I have emailed and faxed POS and NEVER got a response

First of all, did you write the date on IMM 5490? And is it the originally signed form, not a copy? Did you use the newest forms available on the CIC website?
The personal history question is form IMM5669, right? He is supposed to write down what he did between the day he turned 18 and the present, with no gaps. He left a 1 year gap between November 2010 and November 2011. CIC will therefore consider the form incomplete, which is most likely the reason the application got returned. If your husband was unemployed between Nov 2010 and Nov 2011, he should write "unemployed".

 

[jatinder430]

HEY EVERY ONE,

pLEASE TELL, WHEN 1 GETS HIS FILE NUMBER AFTER SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL, WHETHER CPC-M GIVES IT OR VO ABROAD GIVES THE SAME?
ALSO, TELL HOW A SPONSOR CAN UPDATE HIS EMAIL ID? WE HAVE UCI NO WITH US AND IT IS SHOWING ONLY SPONSOR/PR STATUS ONLY. ECAS IS NOT SHOWING ADDRESS.

I checked many times the history my hubby put on his application yes and i noticed that there was a gap and blank on those year ang months. And regarding the IMM 5490 the page2 of the form was missing , now its a lesson to learn that's why CIC asking for a newly completed IMM 5490...this forum help me so much it gives me so much information...thank you
