I have paid the requisite fee by online payment method for sponsoring my spouse and have taken two printouts of the blank reciept. Now I am confused about which details to fill. Like I am sponsor do I have to fill my name, Date of Birth, Address & Telephone no. on the printed reciept or do I need to fill the details of the PRINCIPAL APPLICANT who is my wife and whom I am sponsoring.

Urgent reply needed.

If you get a new LMO and a new work permit as a cook, your wife can apply for an open work permit based on your work permit at the Canadian embassy in her home country. She still needs to prove that she will not overstay in Canada. If immigration thinks she will overstay, they will still not give her a permit.
Wow thanks for that reply.so do you have an idea how long will it take for the process?and how can she prove that she will not overstay?sorry for many questions.im kinda torn between two options right now.specially hearing that there is a chance that ahe can be denied.

You fill it out with your information, the sponsor.

Hi computergeek or anyone else

Ive been a silent wanderer on this for for some time now. Im pretty satisfied with you expertise and would like to pose this question to you.If there is anyone else who can help please dont hesitate

My wife is sponsoring me inland. My consultant filled all of our forms. A few months later I realized that we had made a mistake on the forms. In the background check section, where it says " have you ever been incarcerated, arrested or put in jail" I answered "no". However I was arrested but given a conditional discharge. Around 3 months before we received the AIP my consultant sent in the amendment. After the AIP my file was transferred to the local office for further assessment. Do you think that CIC still considers the mistake a misrepresentation?. I sent my RCMP fingerprints as per cic request a few months after the application was submitted. The fingerprint report did state that I was discharged. So you think this spells trouble still...??????......:(....

Me too :) We had several questions where there was not enough room on the form. Wherever you need more space, put it on another sheet of paper. Always put your name and date of birth at the top (sponsor name if it's extra to a sponsor form and applicant name if it more to an applicant form) and put the form number and the question number. Put the extra page right after the applicable form in your package. We also signed our extra pages, but I have read here that other people didn't and it seemed to be ok, too. For my other marriages, I put the details in the same order/format as on the form.

Good luck with you application!

We met last year in Sept 2011 and then moved to new address. We have our Bank account together at same address plus overdraft limit together from same bank.

Plus, our relation declare in Canada income tax too as a common law.

My question is this : what else we require to proof our relation and How long it takes to get ARC from new delhi ?

Any help will be appreciated.

First of all, you don't send it to ND, you send it to CIC-Mississauga. You need a notartized declaration of common-law, I believe it is called. I'm at work and can't look it up for you, hopefully someone else can.

And to be very blunt, you will probably either be called in for an interview, or denied. Your deportation is going to work against you, just so you are prepared for that.

Are you saying you lived together more than 12 months or almost 12 months? You need an absolute minimum of 12 months to qualify for common law.

The ARC will take several months to process and will extend the overall processing time of your application.

HI..if I were to sponsor my future wife inland (she is a LCG with a work permit) and we go back to her country for a holiday while our sponsor and applicant applications have been submitted and are being processed will there be any problems for her returning to canada after we return from our holidays about 2 weeks later?


and when we send in our applications does she also need to send in a OWP application with our package?

hi guys, im new to this forum and would really appreciate some help. I am a permenant resident and work in Canada. My wife recently came to Canada on a student visa. She got the student visa before getting married. We then got married and she then came to Canada. However, at the port of entry, when asked about her marital status, she mentioned she was still single, as she thought telling them she was married would create suspicion since at the time her application for a student visa was submitted, she was single. I have no idea why she did that, as student are not banned from getting married! Anyways, we can't change the past. I am now looking to sponsor her through the inland application process. I am concerned that if we show our marriage in our home country on a date before she entered canada, we might run into issues for misrepresentation at the port of entry. To overcome that, I am thinking of registering marriage in Canada and getting the marriage certificate here and using that for the inland application process. We have been in a relationship for over a year. We have lots of evidence to show our relationship is genuine, lots of pictures, emails, chats, etc. Do you think this is the right way of doing it? or do i have any other options? Any help would be highly appreciated!

Re: Spousal sponsorship

I am wondering if someone has any ideas or can help me with a suggestion. I got married in March this year in India. I put her PR application in Sept. The thing is that I have been contacted by someone who claims to be my wife's relative and wishes to be anonymous. I have been told that the marriage was not in good faith and that my wife is having an affair and her intent is to divorce me after she lands in canada. Even though I am skeptic but also alarmed. someone could be doing it out of jealousy or personal animosity or some other hidden agenda. OR on the other hand this might entirely be true. I have contacted my brother about this and he is arranging a private detective to look into this. It might take 6 to 8 months for a thorough and authentic investigation. I want to know if there is any way I can delay the visa process or have it put on hold until I get a report. My situation is so messed up, I can neither tell the visa office the real situation nor can I confront my wife with the facts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately there is no way to delay the visa process or put it on hold. If you have concerns, it is probably better to withdraw the application. I don't think you have to tell the visa office the real reason for withdrawing the application. You could say that "due to unforeseen circumstances, my wife is unable to move to Canada at this time - we will submit a new application once these circumstances have changed". Keep in mind that if you withdraw your application, your wife will likely find out.

Good luck.

You could tell her you've changed your mind about going to Canada and see how she reacts.
