The sponsor is a Canadian Permanent Resident, and the spouse is an Indian citizen.

I have a question regarding the submission of the marriage certificate for sponsorship purposes.

We had a registered marriage, conducted in the presence of the marriage registrar. The marriage certificate we received contains all the necessary details and includes official government stamps.

However, I have one concern. Above the marriage registrar's signature on the certificate, it states "True Copy." Could this cause any issues during the application pro
cess?

My wife completed her medical but the chest x-ray showed scarring and she was advised to do the sputum test.
Can she give sputum samples on the same day or go to the centre for 3 days (1 sample each day)?
Also, how long will it take to get the results?

Hey all,

We just got a medical request for my sponsorship application (outland). We uploaded a medical that was done close to a year ago and I was under the impression it would still be valid, I included the previous exam in our application for that reason.

Is there anything I can do to let them know this was done?

Hello,
Please how do we submit the passport photo for the primary applicant? We have filled the back of the photo as requested. So do we now scan the front and back as one pdf document for submission? My worry is that scanning it will change the photo specification.
Has anyone done this and wasn't rejected?

I'm asking because the website say "a scanned photo (don’t take a picture of a paper photo with your digital camera or phone)."

Please advise.

I have received this letter from IRCC.

This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada
class.
Having reviewed your application, I have concerns that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of
the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family
member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Subsection 124(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states, a foreign national is a member of the spouse
or common-law partner in Canada class if they are the spouse or common-law partner of a sponsor and cohabit with that
sponsor in Canada.
Our records indicate that you departed Canada on 2025/02/17 and have not returned.
Based on this information, I am not satisfied that you are cohabiting in Canada with your sponsor.
Subsections 72(1)(c) and 72(1)(d) of the Regulations indicates that a foreign national in Canada becomes a permanent
resident if, following an examination, it is established that they are a member of that class and they meet the selection criteria
and other requirements applicable to that class.
Subsection 16(1) of the Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for
the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably
requires.
The onus is on you to satisfy me that you are a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. I
would therefore request that you send any information and/or documents which you consider might respond to this concern by
2025/03/20, within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter.
Acceptable proof of cohabitation in Canada includes but is not limited to:
• Documentary proof of your return to Canada. (i.e. Copy of a passport stamp, ticket stubs, copy of boarding pass(es)
with Travel Itinerary).
• Details on your most recent entry to Canada and the port of entry that was used.
• A completed Supplementary Information Your Travels (IMM 5562) form with information for yourself and your
sponsor.

Please help as i left canada to see my mother as she was sick. I recently got my trv approved and have submitted my passport in India for stamping. Can someone please advise what can be done if I won’t be able to reach canada before March 20.

you were living in Canada, why do you need TRV? your application will be rejected if you won't be back and response before the deadline
you will have to submit a new application in that case

I have a question, Is resume of PA is requested as additional document to only those cases where the sponsor is a PR or to those also whose sponsor is a citizen??

I haven't seen a specific pattern either way. Honestly the most often I've noticed people posting about this is for PGP (i.e. parents), but that's probably more because sponsors surprised dealing with resume requests for those who've never had one (or are even retired).
