Spousal sponsorship

[groobi]

Putting the Japanese address is fine.

Ok I used her Japanese address as her "current address".
Now i'm completing #12 of the form IMM 5481 and I keep getting the error message since my wife is
staying until this November (which is past today's date). Can I just ignore the error message?

Hi aqua
Thanks for respoding. Apologies. As i am not aware of the terms Sa And VO. Some more information on it will be great.

SA is sponsor approval.
VO is visa office.

Hello Everyone,
I hope someone can help me as I have a lot of questions to ask.

Firstly I am Pakistani by Nationality but i have been living in Saudi Arabia all my life. and currently as well I live and work in Saudi Arabia.
I got married in February 2015 and my Husband lives in Canada. We started our process in April 2015. and by June 2015 we received confirmation that my husband has been approved for sponsorship and that further my file has been transferred to London Visa Office.

My First question.........is that I believed as I live in Saudi Arabia, my file would transfer to Abu Dhabi Office?

2. Does LVO contact via emails or through post as I am concerned that if they have transferred my file to LVO considering my nationality, will they be contacting as per the address from Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.

3. Does LVO send any confirmation of receipt of application or we just have to wait till they start the process. the Online application status at the moment from my side just says application received and medical results received.

thanks in advance.

1) They have a tendency to send the application to the VO of your nationality lately at least.

2) What did you put for your mailing address and email? That mailing address is where the final COPR will go to, and if you requested to receive email updates, document requests will be by email. I believe they email both sponsor and spouse if they have further document requests, but not 100% sure on that.

3) Looking at the spreadsheet, I don't think London does AOR 2, I think that is what you are talking about.

You know you can request them to move the application to the Abu Dhabi visa office if you have a good reason. You can send them an email request. I don't know how much longer that would add to your processing time however, if they approve it.

CIC doesn't transfer apps at the request of applicants.

Dear all,

I'm applying for sponsorship for my Japanese wife who is currently living with me in Canada.
I'm applying for outland. Since she has a work visa and will go back to Japan this November,
we are using her Japanese address for her "current address". But many questions are related
to it and my answers are contradictory (ex. her entry dates to Canada, are you living with someone? etc.)
I'm just gonna say I don't live with her and her current address is in Japan.
Did anybody have the same issue before?

 

[David83]

That's a hard question to answer since there are so many different countries and ways people go about this, but in some cases people have no choice and have to suffer through the separation and have a long distance relationship. Canadian citizens can be living outside the country when they sponsor, but due to the requirements it is even tougher for PR's who sponsor unfortunately.

I agree, each person has his/her own situation and tolerance. Thanks

Well there was a guy on a recent thread who successfully requested an application xfer from Cairo to Abu Dhabi after the app was already in Cairo, unless the guy was lying, it might be possible.

When adding a newborn as a dependent to the application when sponsor is a PR,

do we need to send anything original.?? like B form or birth certificate, ??

Can we send upfront medical of our child.???

LVO asked us to inform both offices, but later in the email says send application to CPC Mississauga , which office we have to send the original documents..???

My case is 90% done they already sent original documents back, and last email they sent me that a decision is made on the application but it is pending as wife is pregnant and won't be able to travel, so they hold the decision made for now till the baby information is given to them.

So when you landed as PR, were you single or married? What was the reason given for the refusal? You might be wise to consult a lawyer on this.

No, I believe since you applied for PR with legal status, you will have implied status when your current status expires. When you say you applied for work permit, do you mean you sent the application for the OWP pilot programme with your PR application? Then you are fine and have implied status until you get the work permit. If you leave the country you won't be let back in since you won't have a visa, and your app will be cancelled so don't do that whatever you do.

Hi Aquakitty, when I applied my PR started 2011-2013, cause Im still waiting for my marriage license so I didn't report immediately and all of a sudden my PR approved already and I was so excited to get my PR card and failed to update my status. Is there any here of you guys, order to remove PR cause of failure of updating status?
