Hello all, for spouse/common law questionnaire(Inland), if answer to question is "no" , does that mean the column to fill in information be left blank or i will still have to put "N/A". This is what i mean: Question (9) Were u previously married or in common law relationship, i check "no", all other column in question(9) be left blank or "N/A" . Any info regarding this will be appreciated.
Thanks
When you checked NO, you can keep blank other areas of that particular question. To be on the safe side people do enter N/A. It's up to you.

Hey y'all, when we are paying our fee's online what am I paying my fee's for? I am being sponsored but I also thought it was for permanent residency as well and I've seen it gives you the option for both? Or does the system automatically have you pay for sponsorship and temp res. when you pay the sponsorship fee's?

Thanks!

Hello there,

As per my investigation you need to fill out both you and your daughter form separately.


Please see the following for further information.

You don't have to pay the right of permanent residence fee right now if you don't want to, but the other ones you have to pay. If you pay all together and it's just you with no dependants it should cost $1040 total, if I remember correctly.

Howdy all!

Just a quick question,

We posted our application last week and by tracking the package online,we know that it has been delivered to the office in Mississauga.

Well I was just wondering,how long after your application is delivered,does it usually take them to notify you that they have received it?
Will it just be added to a huge pile of applications and they don't notify you until they actually get to yours and start processing it?

Thanks all!

current waiting time is around 55 days. it really depends on the person - some get their AOR together with their sponsorship approval, some get AOR a few days before SA .. and some get an e-mail from CIC requesting a newly completed form or reports missing documents .. there was someone on our may thread that got such an e-mail and he received this way before the 55 day waiting time. i was talking to someone else and apparently they check if all the documents are there (before assessing the sponsor's eligibility).
if you sent it last week, you still have to wait quite awhile.

In your case it sounds like you don't have non accompanying family members. Non accompanying family would be children of yours who are not coming with you to canada. Or if only one half of a married couple was coming to canada and the other one wasn't. But if all of your children are going with you to canada, and your husband is the sponsor, then you don't have any non accompanying family members.

The processing time totalling 14 months is just their average processing til an application is "completed" or "approved". Some didn't even have to wait for 14 months. Others waited for just 8-10 months before being granted a visa. Try to order gcms notes so that you'll get updates for your spouse's application.

No, the quoted processing time is the time to complete 80% of applications. They do not publish the average time. They do publish the median time. See data.gc.ca for the full data set.
