Hi Everyone, my spouse is June 2021 applicant with a dependant child (1 year ), we recently received PPR, however, the PPR mentioned only my wife's name, should I wait for my daughters or send both passports in envelop?
If you read carefully the PPR should say principal applicant plus 'for each accompanying family member.'

So do not wait, submit now.

Assuming you mean her fiancé: yes, but not as fiancé. She will either have to marry him or sponsor as common law - this possible only if they lived together for 12 months continuous in the past and can prove it.

Marrying: as far as I'm aware it's not required to be 'legal' in the USA to get married (nor in Canada), but I'm not an expert. Note he'll also at some point need passport.

Very important: when applying, he MUST be truthful about his overstay/status in USA.

Hello everyone,
I've applied for spousal sponsorship inland online.

When i reapply after the return, should i change the dates of the other documents or just the one that was incomplete?
Why did they returned

I have a friend who was in same situation he moved her to back home before she gets deported or to avoid any bad consequences. After marriage applied for spousal through lawyer and his file got approved for granting PR. Remember the overstay will be indicated based on the stay information they ask in application and as long as FBI certificate doenst have any criminal record it is good. But i suggest you to take the process through lawyer to avoid negative impact on file applying on our own by missing to provide some information where lawyers may have idea as they see more different cases in their exp. But it will be easier if they get married rather than common law.

I'm not going to disagree outright on suggestion of lawyer but you flag a good point here, which is that there is the possibility to have negative impacts. If someone wishes to do spousal without a lawyer in these circumstances (spouse is overstay/illegal in some country), strong advice/counsel is to check VERY carefully if in doubt about anything. Specifically and especially about disclosing information, esp overstays refusals etc.

The rule of thumb with IRCC is that if in doubt, disclose (and explain). The most serious negative consequences for what appear to be minor issues (to the applicants) are not disclosing something that IRCC considers important. It may seem like a minor oversight but IRCC can consider a misrepresentation (bureaucratic language for a lie).

Hi guys,

Is this category thing is really important (ex- Other, Translation and affidavit, etc)?

Do I have to upload all translated documents under a specific category, I put those under OTHER (ex- marriage certificate)?

Also is there is specific order to upload documents?

Example - Upload passports first
When you log into the system, you will clearly see where you upload your document types. As for the supporting documents such as translations and images, there is no specific order to upload them in, and any document that does not have a category goes under other. Just make sure the file name describes what is in the document, for example: Translate-Marriage.PDF or Person-Name-Birth-Translate.pdf.
