Spousal sponsorship

[vanity]

Hello, just wanna ask if what site do we need to pay our fees? My husband told me he can't pay online because the server is under maintenance. Any help regarding this? I want him to submit our application because its been 3 months Since our medical. Thanks a lot! God bless

The only places you can pay are online using your credit cards. Or you can request the payment voucher and then you can pay at a bank but CIC has to send you the voucher. Otherwise you can wait until the site up again

Hello everybody,
I'm a bit confused about the medical exams. My husband is sponsoring me (I live in El Salvador and my application will be going to MX) and on the checklist and guide they specify I must send proof of the medical examination. I have 2 questions:

1. For some reason I always thought I didn't have to send in medical exams until they requested them (after app was submitted)...is that incorrect?

2. If I do have to submit with app, the checklist says to submit: "original copy 2 of form IMM 1017" and the Guide says to submit: "copy 1 of the medical report - Client Biodata and summary IMM 1017". What needs to be submitted?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! =D

I do have another question for every body.

I'm just going to submit my application and was going through the instructions again. Found a mistake.

The guide states about IMM5406,
If you are filling out the Application for Permanent Residence from within Canada – Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada Class (IMM 5289), do not complete this section.

Thats the section C, in Additional Family document. The applicant has one sibling. We don't have to fill this section out, right? can any one confirm? I'm just being paranoid sorry.

He has to declare the sibling and then sign or else they might find out and the consequences might not be nice

Another question,

The declaration form iMM 5669, at the end it says that I might have to sign it infront of a government official?

Do you have to do that for inland application? or I just sign it without the Government official?

There's a part at the end of the form that you sign at landing with the IO after swearing all the information is valid and accurate.

You DO sign the "Declaration of Applicant." You DO NOT sign the "I solemnly swear" part until landing. Basically, anything under the "DO NOT COMPLETE UNTIL LANDING" don't fill out.

hello everyone,i need help...... i am international student. i got married to my fiancee in the USA last year December. she is an american citizen but stop college because of family frustration.(may not qualify for NAFTA program). living apart has been painful for both of us. now we are both planning for her to come and live with me here temporary until we both figure out how she can go back to school and complete it (nursing program). i have not change my statues yet to married. since she does not need a TRV to visit me here, i was wondering if she can go ahead and apply for open work permit once she comes for a visit. do i need to change my statues at the school and with cic too as married? or the marriage document will be enough prove? finally what would be the best advice here. she has already tried the job search but no employer willing to give her an offer based on the fact that she does not have a work permit or legal status in Canada.

Thank you!! it was obvious but I'm brain dead. I'm just getting nervous as I'm close to sending it in and don't want to make mistakes.

Don't feel bad I answered a question on IMM 5669 incorrectly and had to send in a new form with explanation. Nerves, excitement, butterflies.... ugh!

You need to include her in your PNP application. If you get married, but land as 'single' you can never sponsor your wife.

Marry her after you land. You will be able to sponsor her right waway as long as you have not lived with her for 1yr prior to marriage or prior to applying for her.

She lives in Pakistan. I am already in Canada. So you guys are suggesting me to get married after I land as an immigrant. But the thing is I will still have to apply for spousal visa which would take about 2 years as per processing time in my country.

Do you know how much time it will take to add her to your PNP application? I don't know for sure. Maybe you should find this out first, then make the better decision for your family.

You can try asking in the PNP section or maybe a thread about Pakistani immigration (there are many). Someone surely knows or has experience.
