Spousal sponsorship

[zardoz]

I'm sponsoring my wife andI just got SA like a month ago and I'm planning on visiting my wife in my hometown for 2 months. Is that gonna affect our application? Thanks!

If you are a Canadian citizen, no. If you are a PR, yes quite possibly. CIC may consider that you are not resident in Canada.

Thanks for your answer
One more thing, do the statutory declarations written by family/friends have to be signed by a commissioner of oaths/member of parlement? If so I guess they have to go there themselfs? I can't take them when we would do IMM5409/declaration common law..

I'll have to defer this question to someone who has been through the statutory declaration process.

Yes I'm a PR would you happen to have an idea how long can I go out of Canada?

Hello,

I am currently in Canada as a visitor & just sent out my application to be processed OUTLAND, through my home country. Does anyone know whether the PR visa will be waived, since I already have a visa in my passport. I just want to see whether or not i'll have to send my passport, which is bait scary because it can get lost travelling all the way back home!

If you hold a visa exempt passport (i.e. no visitor visa needed to enter Canada) then you will not have to send your passport for visa stamping when your PR is approved. If you hold a non-visa exempt passport, then you will have to send your passport to the visa office once they are ready to approve your application. Since you have a visa in your passport, I'm going to assume you are non-visa exempt which means you will in fact have to send the passport to the visa office.

I sponser my spouse by inland application in early September 2014 and currently she should be on implied status, but at the same time i also applied for her visitor visa. They grant her visitor visa for three months, and her sponsorship application still pending as we can on see July 31, 2013 under process since last few months.

My question is that it will take approximately 1.5 -2 years from now to reach first stage. Is that wise to keep renewing her visa as visitor visa because i am scared if at some time they reject the extension of visitor visa than where should i stay.

She still can stay on implied status.

Please guide me in this regard.

She has implied status only if OWP app was submitted along with inland app. In this case there is no need to apply for any extensions since she has implied status.

If no OWP was submitted then she does NOT have implied status. In this case she needs to keep requesting extensions.

And 1st stage approval is taking 13 months these days.

I have a visa valid until 2020. I just wanted to double check if I would have had to send the passport. Thank you for your information. I'll probably just fly back home when they request the passport, and come back to Canada with the PR visa.

Yes i applied with open work permit
The reason i am applying for extentions is the health coverage. The person on implied status has no civerage
yes ist stage approval will take 13 month as mentioned on web site but no progress in this regard from.last 5 month still.processing july 2013 application from Feb. That why i said i put 2 years

In that case yes you'd need to continue having a valid visitor status to maintain healthcare coverage. However even if a visitor extension was rejected, she would still have "implied" status so could stay in Canada legally. You would just have trouble to get healthcare as a visitor.

I don't think first stage approval will go to 1 year. I would budget 13-14 months from submitting the inland application. And once you get 1st stage approval and OWP, you don't have to worry about visitor status anymore as 1st stage approval will qualify you for most things.

What is the phone number to contact CIC? I need to change a payment I made.. I paid for the wrong fee and paid too much money, I want to fix this.. Anyone can tell me the number I can call to get some money back and/or transfer a payment?

hello everyone
Im a canadian citizen and I want to sponsor my husband who is on work permit.
I would like to apply through outland, since his country timeline is only 10 months vs inland.
Can I do that even if he lives and work here?
thank you
