Hello,
I recently sent my spouse sponsorship package for PR. I just realized that I forgot to write "N/A" in a couple of places (dependent children in checklist). Will they return the entire package for a minor mistake like that?
Everything else is in order and as required by them except for that.
Thank you.

Guys, help required. Please guide.

Hi all,

Great information on this forum about spouse sponsorship program.

I need help in order to finalize what should be done next and what is the best way to get reunited with family in my current situation:

Background:
1. I am Canadian PR right now and Wife and Daughter are in home country (India)
2. I am right now working and have income stream to sustain myself/family
3. Wife and Daughter had applied for Visit Visa 10 days ago and it got rejected. "I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR based on : 1. purpose of your visit, 2. your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence, 3. your personal assets and financial status, 4. your travel history.
4. We do believe that this first Visit Visa application could have been made stronger, but we didnt believe/know that it is that important to strengthen these 4 points (you can say that we had taken it lightly. major mistake when looking in hindsight)

Options at hand:
Opt1. Apply for Visit Visa again, after giving more reasoning and supporting documents (strengthening the visit visa application)
Opt2. Apply for Dependent PR i.e. Sponsorship - Spouse and Dependent Child. Obviously this process will take about 12 months (average). After applying for this Dependent PR and then again apply for Visit Visa Stating fulling that Wife and Daughter want to visit as they cannot wait for 12 months and need to meet me and will come for temporary purpose and abide by the rules of immigration.

Various relevant question:
1. Does the fact that Dependent PR i.e. Sponsorship - Spouse and Depdendent Child application is in process have any positive implication on Visit Visa getting accepted.
2. Does writing cover letter in full honestly in the application of Visit Visa in Opt2 really help?
3. Read online about dual intent (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/dual-intent-applicants.html) "The existence of 2 different intents is not, in itself, reason to refuse a temporary residence application. If the officer is satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada after their authorized stay, regardless of the outcome of any future potential permanent residence application, the temporary residence application may be approved." How to best utilize it?

Really at loss in terms of what is best way out right now. Want to be with family as soon as possible.

If we opt for Opt1 and it fails, then we have not option but to go for Dependent PR and then third attempt at Visit Visa after that. Is 3rd attempt at Visit Visa in this case really any worse than 2nd attempt at Visit Via in Opt2.

Worst case: If we opt for Opt2 and visit visa gets rejected again (the one done while Dependent PR application is in process). what option will I be left with? I really dont think I can sustain 10 months without meeting wife and daughter. As of now I am thinking, in this worst case I will simply go back and leave Canada PR for good.
* How many trips/ how long can I stay away from Canada and with Wife / Daughter in this duration of 10 months while sponsorship is going on?
* Do these trips have any implication the actual Dependent PR stuff?

Please help with suggestion.

Regards

Guys, help required. Please guide.
If you can strengthen your family's financial status and give plenty of a reason for them to go back to India ( very unlikely since your family is linked to you and they would not want to be separated from you) you can apply for a visit again. More than likely they will get a refusal again. Your best option is to sponsor them as permanent residence. Make sure there is enough proof in the application. Show the completed application to someone, ask them to look at it with an extremely critical eye, and hopefully, 80% of your case might be processed here is Mississauga. Usually, straight forward cases that involve families with kids, are done quickly, unless there are red flags. All you would need to do is make the case iron clad. Do what feels right

No, they will not return your application, normally the applications are returned when there is a missing document.

You will need PCC for your country of citizenship (where your spouse has lived the longest) and one for a country of current residence (if different from the country of citizenship) where they have lived for 6 months or more.

The instructions for the documents for country specific PCC can be found online or the country's local embassy's website.
I think you misunderstood my question. I am trying to find out what documents will need to be submitted at the Passport Office to obtain PCC of India.

Hi Fellas,

I have an issue and would like to listen to ur feedback/advice/previous experience.

I have currently on going application to sponsor my wife who is living outside Canada. We did bio, medical and got sponsorship approval.

My concern is, next month i am eligible to apply on citizenship. I dont know how it will be impacted to have « 2 » ongoing applications in Sydney, NS. Since my family sponsorship file also still in Sydney NS and yet not transferred to another visa office? And citizenship processing would impact family sponsorship or each gonna take it’s own path?

I remember in sponsorship approval letter it was written cases that i should inform them, ie status change, address, but what about citizenship? Should i apply or wait?

Edit: i tried looking online and on CIC to find additional data related to my case. But no data written anywhere.
