Spousal sponsorship

[canuck_in_uk]

Total: $1190

I am applying for my wife and my baby. She's 3 yrs old. Can someone please confirm if I'm paying the right amount?

The major issue I have is with the sponsorship application. Should it be twice the amount ($150) as it states per application.

No, it is not twice the amount. $1190 is the correct total.

Let me explain, the PR applicants are my wife and step-daughter, they currently have valid 5 year TRV's in their passports. Am I to understand that the PPR is to only affix visa's and the important part is the COPR? So if they already have valid visa's can we just not land with the COPR?

It doesn't matter if they have TRVs. They will still need to send their passport to receive the PR visas. There is no way around that.

Thank you SL_Chica. I'm just worried that they would compare the TRV application to the spouse application, since spouse application's asking for my history for the past 10 years. SO, it's confusing me what to do. Thank you again!

You are welcome! There is a chance that the TRV application will not be even looked at. But as I said before a immigration lawyer is your best consultant in this situation. in the forum you may find some answers but most of us are not legal experts. Your husband should meet with a Canadian attorney that has experience dealing with your country's visa office. Best of Luck!

Thanks a bunch for all the info. Submitting this week. Hope it goes fast and smooth.

Ok, so there is a TRV visa and a PR visa......makes sense, thanks.

The Principal Applicant i.e. your wife is required to fill out the Immigration Forms, IMM 5669 and IMM 5406 are Immigration Forms. You, as the Sponsor, are required to fill out the Sponsorship Forms.

I can't answer your second question, maybe re-post it to General - All Canadian Immigration.

Please I need help friends...is anything wrong on applicant travelling to another country after submiting his application and continue living there until he get ppr or interview and send his passport from the said country ,which is not country of his origin?
Will CIC have anything to question about even the person send police check from that country but didn't change his address to CIC?

You need to update your address with IRCC if you go to another country.

Hi all,

I am an Australian, currently in Canada on a working IEC holiday visa which runs out September 2017. I am married to a Canadian and have been for a year, also living together for a year.

I am applying for a spousal sponsorship permanent residence from inside Canada. I will also need to apply for another work permit because my IEC Working holiday visa will expire before the permanent residency is issued.

I know that I am eligible to obtain an open work permit as an inland applicant for spousal permanent residence, but I don't know how exactly to go about this.

To be clear, here are my questions listed:

Question (1)
Will me being on the IEC working holiday visa affect anything while I am trying apply for an open work permit that is granted for people who have applied for spousal sponsored inland permanent residence?

I don't know if I can just apply for an open work permit while I am still on my IEC work permit. Does it matter? First I thought I would need to try and extend my IEC working holiday permit but I don't think you can extend those.

Question (2)
Is there anything that I need to do special because I am on IEC working holiday?

Do I need to provide health insurance proof? Do I need to provide any of the IEC qualifying documents, such as proof I can support myself (bank accounts). Do I need to provide duplicate copies of documents that are required for the work permit that are already in my permanent residence application?

I am currently going to apply for the permanent residence and the work permit under Guide 5553 - Applying to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada - Worker.

The CIC website says that you should submit both applications at once in the mail. The confusing thing for me are the references for to IEC Working Holiday program in this 'Applying to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada' application.

There is a question at the start of the form:

"Check the appropriate box or boxes to indicate if you are applying for:

* A work permit with the same employer
* An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer
* Restoration of your status as a worker
* An initial or an extension of a temporary resident permit"

I am not sure what to fill out but I am guessing... "an initial work permit or work permit with new employer"? Is this the correct box to check for my circumstances?

I'm a little confused because this technically isn't an "initial work permit", as I am currently on the IEC Canadian Experience work permit for a working holiday.

Also, it mentions in the document checklist (IMM5556E) that people on the IEC Canadian Experience must provide proof of health insurance. Is this only for people trying to extend their IEC student or working visa?

Do I need to do this? I have insurance through my work, but I figure I don't want to provide documents that they don't need. On one hand I don't mind submitting health insurance information but I don't want them to then think that I am trying to extend my IEC working holiday visa, as I have read that it cannot be extended.

Question (3)

My Spouse:

My spouse in self-employed and need to know what types of forms she has to provide in relation to tax. She is currently going to submit a years worth of bank statements showing income deposits, her notice of assessment for 2015, and she can give them her entire tax return.

Question (4)

How many pictures is good to submit? Five or twenty? The more the merrier or just a select few from each trip/event attended?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much in advance, very much appreciated!

As an Australian, your OUTLAND application will probably be approved before your IEC expiry date since it taking around 6 months or so nowadays.

As a self-employed, I submitted everything possible - NOA, bank statement, Financial Statement prepared by accountant, Option C.

I also submitted 75 pictures. As long as you have a complete picture that should be fine.

Hi all,

Just to echo what BonManush has said...

Inland applicants usually regret submitting an Inland application, even with the lure of the OWP. Although you are in Canada you should really consider submitting an Outland application. Check this thread (and look for the spreadsheet) and you'll see many other Australians completing the process in well under 6 months:

That's interesting, and kind of worrying - what would the benefit be of applying outland? If I apply outland I get it in six months but if something delays or goes wrong then I mess up my expiry date and possibly my job here. If I apply inland, I get my open work permit in roughly 4 months (as far as I can tell?) then at least I know I can work for the duration of my application?

I don't have too much of a rush to get permanent residency per se, as long as I can work while I am applying for it...

Is there anything I am missing?
