So I am applying inland for spousal sponsorship PR....Sending it out in beginning of September. My question is when it comes to paying the fees do I pay for Spousal Sponsorship or for Permanent Residence also as they are listed seperatly....i am on visitors which expires September 30th....should I apply for an extension too?? Btw any idea where I should send my application?? I live in Windsor Ontario.
If you want fastest processing, pay all the fees up front - $1040 ($75 + $475 + 490 - sponsor/applicant/RPRF). If you don't care about speed of processing, you can pay just the application fees ($75 + $475) and wait until they ask for the RPRF. It adds 2-4 months onto the process.

Good luck!

Hello, nothing happens until yesterday ( 5months later )
I just could check with my client ID number and it says
"Application recieved"

My husband call the call centre and they give to him his client ID number ( witch is supposed to be sended
In a acknowledgement letter bit that didn't happens)
So we recieved our AOR by phone.

I just checked with his client number but nothing appear
And yesterday finally something, says application
For sponsorship "in process" and application for permanent residence
"Recieved"

* check the status online with you husband
Client number, and probably you will see something.

At least you have peace that somebody is reviewing you app.

:)

Hello Guys/Gals,

I am new to this forum and I need your advise regarding spousal sponsorship program.
I came to Canada in Sept 2009 and then got a degree. Later I applied in the PNP program
and got my permanent residence(PR) in April 2013. I was employed in an IT company since
July 2011 and when I became PR I qucikly resigned from my job and head back to my country
as I wanted to spend some time with my family. I am in Pakistan since May 2013 and will be
coming back to Canada by the end of this month.

*Note I had a stable job since July 2011 and never have been unemployed till the time I resigned.

During my stay in Pakistan I got married . Now my question to you guys is that when I will
return to Canada I wont have a job immediately. It might take a month or 2 get a decent job
again. So can I apply for my wife immediately or should I get a job first and then apply?
I want to add one more point I have been filing all my taxes every year since I have arrived.

Do you guys think I am eligble?
Should I take the help of a lawyer? (They are quite expensive and I will use one as a last resort)

Waiting anxiously for your replies

Bye!!!

You don't need a lawyer. I think it is better that you wait until you have a job though. Your wife can use the time to prepare your application. She will need to fill out a lot of forms for her background history. She can mail you these to Canada. She will need police clearances and medicals. You will need proof of your relationship as well.

I have a question. The scenario is like this: I'm a Pakistani national currently residing in Singapore, hence i want my visa office of that in Singapore. So when I'm filling part 3 of the immigration forms, which is "Country Specific Instructions", do i fill out the package of General Asia, which is for Pakistan, or do I fill the package that is for Singapore, considering each package has a different set of forms.

Thank you :)
