[IvanP]

Hi friendssss
I am confused so much if you can help me.

2nd - can i still send my file , i have police cert of india n canada dated 2 feb 2013.
I hv to sponsor my husvand outland who lives in canada


Plzzz replyyyy i reqllly need it
Thanks

1. If you choose withdraw, you can't appeal if your application is denied. If you choose proceed, you can appeal. If your application is simple, I don't think it matters because the likelihood that your application will be denied is low.
2. It sounds like your police certificates have expired (they should be submitted within 3 months of the date of issue), so you need to get new ones.

LOL! (Or that the facial expression isn't serious enough)

Quick question about translation of documents (ie, birth and police certificates). Does it matter where the translation is done, as long as it is a certified translation? Sponsored spouse needs to have these docs translated but it will apparently cost close to $100 each to have this done in her home country, which sounds exorbitant to me, even factoring courier costs from the translation centre to the spouse's home in another city. Since everything has to eventually be sent to the sponsor in Canada anyway, can't the sponsor get the translation done here instead? Police certificate will be the original (in Spanish) and the birth certificate (also in Spanish) will be a certified copy. I believe the going rate here is about $25-$30 per document, and there won't be any courier costs as the sponsor can easily go and pick them up. Many thanks for anyone who can advise on this.

I haven't been able to find anything about where translations should be made just as long as they are certified. I would get them done here if it saves a few bucks.

Hello Ivan / CanadianJeepGuy-

First off - THANK YOU for bothering to reply so fast.

Now here is the part where I look stupid ...

I am going to apply Outland SO: can anyone please confirm that what I need to send initially is:
AKA: Part 1: Sponsorship forms & Part 2: Immigration forms ? *** I cannot post the link I'm a newbie :'(

Part 1: Sponsorship forms

Second, when I do send ALL forms above I must send his Greek Police and Albanian Police Clearance along with medical - Right? (anyone can confirm how long the above docs are valid for?)

So IF I have understood well so far. LOL I have to send the Part 1: Sponsorship forms & Part 2: Immigration forms , with medical and police reports to Missaussaga? (and of course everything that is mentioned in the checklists in the forms)

My problem so far is I DID not know WHAT forms I needed to send first hand at first. If indeed for Outland Quebec the required forms are ALL the ones above, I think I actually just understood 50% of the process in 2 minutes.

And then I wait for the Selection Qc Certificate and proceed as they instruct me from then on?

Again THANKS
Kathy

That's right. The first line of that form says "Sponsors living in Quebec need not complete this form," and this also applies to sponsors who are intending to live in Quebec.

Thanks, CanadianJeepGuy. I can't imagine why it would make a difference to CIC where the translation is done, as long as it is certified, as you said.

If the sponsor is not approved, do you want them to discontinue the application OR send it along. If you discontinue it, you get the $475 applicant fee back. If you continue, they send your application to the visa office for processing. They'll generally reject it at the visa office because the sponsor is ineligible to sponsor, but the choice of paths has to do with your ability to appeal and/or challenge in Court.

You don't need a Canadian police certificate. If the Indian certificate is 2 Feb 2013 it is too old (3 months is the limit) but you can send it along anyway and see if they want a new one OR you can order a new one and once you have a file number submit the new one to the visa office.

Hi, I'm a Canadian living and working in Spain. I have been with my girlfriend for over a year now and we have been living together for 12 months. I want to sponsor her under spousal sponsorship with her as my common-law partner.

We have a pretty good case. We have a lot of proof to ensure our relationship is genuine: photos with our families, trips together, plane tickets, a joint bank account, good testimonials, etc.

But I have a few questions concerning my sponsorship. I am currently freelancing in Spain as an English teacher so I work in several places but only have 1 contract. How do I provide proof of employment? In addition, the money here for language teachers is really poor. Will this be an issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you get a copy of the contract or copies of your pay stubs? Money isn't that much of an issue so long as you can provide proof that you can provide for her financially. Maybe a statement of savings from the bank?

I have Canadian bank accounts with sufficient funds and a place to reside in Canada as well. Should I provide bank statements in my application?

Will you be submitting the application from outside Canada? If so then I would provide a confirmation of where you will reside in Canada as well as a statement of your savings. The basic idea is to have supporting evidence of any claims you make on your application. Plus you will both need police clearances.

The checklist says that she needs a police check but I haven't seen anything about myself needing a police check. Is this a requirement for sponsors living exclusively outside Canada?

Hi guys
So I applied on April 16 2012 and in October I got my OWP and last month I got a letter saying they made a decision and they will send a letter with the day I have to go to the immigration office. Last week I got the date to go to the immigration office on Scarborough Centre. My date is next week.
What is the chances they don't approve my processes? On my letter they are saying it is a interview and I have to bring some documents. I'm really nervous. Lol

Thank you

You may be right about yourself. I know sponsors from within Canada don't require one and would have thought they would have you submit one for yourself if you have been living outside the country for an extended length of time. I will check on that.

You don't need a police report as sponsor.
