Spousal sponsorship

hi if its decision made is it mean Sponsor Approval?

Decision Made means a decision has been made. This could be either approval or denial. You should hear from them soon.

Hi guys,

I'm an Aussie citizen who has lived in Toronto for the past two year, applying outland within the next two weeks. I just have a question about IMM5406 - Additional Family Information.

On the checklist (IMM3906 E), it says that "You and each of your family members 18 years of age or older must complete their own copy of this form." Is it assumed that they only mean the family members who are coming to Canada need to fill this out? I am the only one in my immediate family applying for this, so I can't understand why they would need to fill it all out.

Thanks

Hi there i have a little problem here when i first started of my relationship with my man we use to talk on the phone and i have a 4 months phone bill. But the problem is that he doesn't use that number anymore because his phone with the sim was stolen and because he's from bangladesh theres no way you can block a sim or report it theres no such system since mostly ppl only uses prepaid ones. And it is very important for me to submit those phone bills because before our marriege thats the only way we use to communicate. No emails or anything and after 4 months when he managed to get the internet all we did was talk on viber.
But anyways so my question is on his application form it says to give his phone number, so which numbers should he give and does the immigration call to check?? Because if the immigration calls his old number and some one else answers we might be in a big mess. pls help me

Where it asks for his phone number on the forms he must give his current phone number. If CIC need to phone him for any reason (they might do an interview by phone, for example) then that number is the one they need.

His old phone number is only relevant to your relationship evidence. If you are worried that CIC might not realise the phone number was his one at the time then just add a separate piece of paper and explain that those calls were made to his previous phone number. If you have logs from your Viber messages you can export those and print them to send too.

Hello. I just need an opinion about what to do if i want to sponsor a person. Im a permanent resident since nov last year. I had a job as a customer service rep in one of the known retail stores. Im planning to sponsor my boyfriend who resides in the philippines. Weve beeen in a relationship for 7 years already. Shared a bank account in the philippines upto now. Travelled together and even live in the same house with his parents for 4 years or more. But due to circumstances in the philippines that same sex relationship are not that accepted, we opted tokeep our relationship private. I send him money once in a while for his tuition fee and for certain occasions like birthday or christmas. My question is,, 1. What category should we belong? Common law or conjugal? 2. What are the steps so that i can sponsor him to be here with with me. 3. Is there any financial requirements for me to be qualified as a sponsor? 4. Is there any time table when i can start my application? Thank you. Hope you can enlighten my querries.

1. If you lived together for more than 12 months immediately before you applied for your PR or landed as a PR, you would be common law. However, that puts you in a sticky situation because according to immigration rules, you should have claimed your boyfriend on your application as your common law partner. Failing to do that is seen as misrepresentation by immigration and would bar you from ever sponsoring him as well as it may even cost you your own PR.

If you however lived together off and one but you had not lived together for 12 months when you applied for your immigration and you also did not reach living together for 12 months before you landed as a PR, you would not have been eligible to include him as a common law partner in which case you have no problem with immigration and could sponsor him now as a conjugal.

2. You would need to fill out a sponsorship application and he would have to fill out some forms for himself.

3. There is no specific income requirement to sponsor a partner but immigration should not think you will end up on welfare so you should show at least some income and you can't be on welfare when you apply.

4. You can start the application whenever you are ready.

Can someone please answer my question above on page 792???

Any advice at all would be great please?

 

[yumeryuu]

Hey Micmac, I ran back and checked. Although I haven't had that specific situation happen, I know if you gather ALL the info you need and send it in before 45 days, you should be ok.

I had a 45 day cap on some paperwork I needed to send it, I sent it and it made it on day 44. But I haven't heard back from immigration since and this was in May, 2013. My husband's file is still in process...

HiI posted something yesterday but I don't know where posted it but in my emails it said I had a reply from micmac101 I think but Im nw to this so I don't really how to post or find my replies. Anyway I was asking - if I marry in florida then come back to uk and my hubby goes back to Canada and applies for outland sponsorship. There is no way I can stay with him anyway is there until the sponsorship is complete - as I understand it I can just for about 3-4 months as a tourist.....Can I? and can I say that I am visiting my husband as he is sponsoring me - also I will hae a return ticket so would that suffice.

 

[ladybugclh]

I have some curious questions...more so to put my husbands mind at ease.....as far as passport request will they ask for that if they are going to deny you permanent residence....and question 2...according to the gcms notes his file started to be in process oct 31....any idea as to a general time frame as to when it will become decision made....thanks for everyone's help.

UK passport holders are visa exempt. In general, visa exempt holders can come to Canada as visitors while their application is in process. You are subject to the normal scrutiny of any visitor ("will you leave at the end of your visit") so you need to have a return ticket and ties to your country. CBSA is generally fairly lenient in such cases though.

Make sure to bring evidence of the sponsorship with you - ideally the sponsor approval letter, but at least the fee paid receipt.
