Spousal sponsorship

[Amy612]

Hi all:

I am a new member here. So I apologize beforehand if I break any rules here.

I got married last month in my home country Bangladesh. It's both of our first marriage. I am PR here. I am hearing so much negative news from my friends here about how long it will take for my wife to come, that I am getting depressed.

What is the usual time period if everything goes fine? I am sending everything together (police certificate, medical, all fees etc.) to the Mississauga office.

Also, is the printout from CRA necessary to send at this time? I am enclosing a job letter specifying my current job, income etc. My employment & income history (except the last job that I am doing for 8 months now) is not good at all.

Would appreciate any response.

Hi Leon
Can you please advise me on the following.

I have submitted my application for common-law to CPC-M and it has been received July 19. I filled the forms out by printing in black ink rather than generating the bar codes electronically. I am confident I have used the current forms but when reading the guide there is a note indicating that sponsors and applicants are encouraged rather than MUST fill out the forms electronically and generate bar codes. Also when reading many of the forms they indicate at the top of the form to type or print in black ink.

Also in the guide it indicates that if certain dates (such as a birth date) is unkown to use an asterisk (*) but when I tried to put asterisks in the electronic form it would not accept it. This was another reason I chose to print out the forms and complete them by printing in Black ink.

If the forms are current, legible and complete as possible but not filled out electronically (generating bar codes) will CPC-M send the application back to me?

Can you or any of the senior members please advise me. I have e-mailed CIC but not sure if they will respond to it.
Thanks

They will either send the whole thing back to you or ask you for those particular forms again electronically filled out. The barcodes are a MUST.

Thanks for your response parker. Much appreciated.

If your daughter is born in Canada, she is a citizen automatically. Otherwise, if you are a citizen and are passing it on to her, you must apply for her citizenship cerficate at the Canadian embassy.

1. Your daughter is a dependent child but because she is already a citizen she would not have been listed on the IMM0008, only on the additional family information form.

2. Because she is a citizen, you do not need a medical for her.

3. If the old form is the only one you can find on the CIC website, I am sure it is fine but maybe the doctor has the new one when you go for the medicals.

Thanks very much Leon

Hi
Just a continuation of my post above regarding filling forms out electronically.

Can I please just clarify: Is it just the IMM1344 and IMM008 that need to be filled out electronically and validated with barcodes? Or all of them? The guide has broken it down into two categories.

(From guide)
•Filling out the forms electronically is easier and reduces the risk of errors that can slow down the application process.
To ensure you submit all the pages of each forms:

IMM 1344 and IMM 0008:

a.Click on the “Validate” button at the top or bottom of the form

AND

(from guide) Other forms:

Use the Document Checklist to make sure you include all the other forms and documents you need.


Thanks

I am not sure where you found this stated? All the guides I've read say that it's preferred, not mandatory ...

Do you have a link?

Hi Leon,
i have some concerns about my application so could you please advice me on this :
My husband is sponsoring our application, we are approved, thank God!!! my question is, im not living in my home country now, but however i requested the application to be sent to my home country. I gave my email adress, my actual home adress (outside my home country) and my actual cell phone number (not my home country numbers). Will the visa office contact me on my international phone number? or will they mail me to my international home adress?
thank you so much.

I assume they will call you at whatever number you gave them and use the address you listed as being your address

Reason I say it's a must is because of what was said to me by CIC office(And from what people have experienced here). As in, when I called and asked about it (because I was confused as to where they go specifically) They told me that they NEED the barcodes, and that they usually will send the entire package back or ask for the two specific forms. They can just scan the barcodes and get all the information that is in the form onto their computer and thus on ecas as well. Can't give you a link sorry.
