Clarify, have you already landed as a PR or not?

If you haven't yet landed and you get married and then land without adding your spouse, she will be forever excluded from the Family Class; you would NEVER be able to sponsor her. You can get married and add your spouse to your app. IRCC will request all of your spouse's documents and medical and will also request your COPR and passport back.

If you have already landed, then you will need to sponsor her after getting married. As a PR, you would be required to reside in Canada throughout the sponsorship process. If your partner is not able to get a TRV, she will not be able to come to Canada before getting PR.

hi everyone-

We just got out package back home :( not to happy about it...... Anyways, We are going to send it back but we have a couple doubts that maybe someone around here knows the answer.

we are sending the family sponsor application for spouse Outland, but in the checklist (new) PART A, point 4."class of application" ask if im currently living in Canada, or outside.
Im actually in Canada but we still want to send it outland. the question comes when we move forward to the PART B, point 7."proof of relationship"
are you and your spouse currently living together? the answer is Yes we are.

So if we say we are currently living together we have to say in point 7, we still can send it outland in point 4??????????
It is very confusing :-\

Maybe it means that you should send an inland application since your both in canada.

So if we say we are currently living together we have to say in point 7, we still can send it outland in point 4??????????

"Family Class" = outland.

Class of Application - Option 3 - "living in Canada and I am applying under the Family Class"

It is perfectly fine to be living together in Canada while applying outland.

The definitions are explained on the website.

Again, " Family Class = outland.

"Spouse or Common-law partner in Canada" = inland.

Any advice on sponsoring spouse.

I am going to India to get marry in August, do I need an unmarried certificate? which I have to obtain from Ontario Gov't.

Yes.To register your marriage in India you need to get a 'Statement in Lieu of Certification of Non-Impediment to Marriage Abroad' from Global affairs.
Just google this and you will find a form that you fill and they will send you a statement!
Hope it helps and Congratulations!

It generally takes a few months after adding a spouse. If your COPR/visa are going to expire before the app is processed, IRCC will either extend the validity or request a new medical.

Hello,

I'm a permanent resident of canada. I recently got married and sponsoring my spouse for her PR. Is it compulsory for her to submit Ielts report along with the application?
