Do you actually have a sister in Canada? If yes, say that you originally came to visit your husband and sister.

Yes, I do have my sister in canada, and She was sick too.. and she has 2 kids and it was hard for her to look after kids and I have husband there too but immigration officer did not ask me at all If I am married or anything. I answered what she asked.

I dont understand why my friends had their process finalized in 7 months and now the website says it is gonna take 9-10 for the first step and more 9 for the 2 step, total more than 19 months, what is going on now...? is it the real time?

So your friends applied inland? Getting PR with inland in 7 months is extremely fast but sometimes people get lucky. It use to be that first stage was taking 6-7 months and sometimes if you are lucky, you could get the PR shortly after the first stage approval, like 1-2 months later. Maybe that is what happened in their case. 9 and 9 is probably the average as it is right now.

Hi, I'm a bit confused with one of the forms. I hope somebody can help me. We are applying outland. My Canadian husband is applying to sponsor me (Australian citizen) and our young son is currently applying for his citizenship. I've been advised by CIC to place our son on the Application to Sponsor and Undertaking with a note explaining that he is applying for the citizenship through his Canadian father. However on the Sponsorship Evaluation for Current Undertakings we need to place the number of persons in box 1 to 4 of Section C of the Application to Sponsor. I'm confused because I presume our son isn't part of the undertaking as such, yet he is named on the Application to Sponsor and Undertaking. Do we include him in the 'number of persons' in boxes 1 to 4 or not? I hope this makes sense to anybody who can advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi all

Since my last post I have lost my status and consequently had to leave my job... I have been advised by CIC to restore my status and reapply for a work permit (my application was sent in June so *technically* AIP has been estimated at March but I'm not hopeful). I'm out of cash and out of hope for any kind of help from CIC.... I followed their advice back in May last year and have now landed in this mess because of that advice. I also took advice from a lawyer which bought me an extra 3 months but in the end landed me with no status and no work permit..

My question is this (sorry for rambling..) can I withdraw my application and get the fee ($550) back? I did not yet pay the PR fee, just the processing fee. If they haven't yet started processing, then surely I can reclaim the fee???

Thanks in advance..

 

[Krrrsty]

that sounded really negative!
my new plan is the go back to England and apply from there - at least I can work
Processing time is far shorter too!

Hello, can i submit my sponsorship application in advance (before the marriage) ? so that the initial evaluation can be done ahead of time?

Not if you are applying for spousal PR.

if u qualify as common-law u could submit it as common-law but then it's not good to change ur status and get married during the process...if u already plan to marry soon, it's better to first get married and then apply; but in this case too, if u apply exactly after the marriage, maybe they will believe u married for immigration reasons...it all depends also on ur supporting evidence and the visa office where u'll be applying; the past experiences and culture of each region make a big difference

Hi. Recently, we got status that our application forwarded to local cic after 9 mos of waiting? Does this automatically 100% means that docs and interview is necessary? How can I follow up my status, any number to call?

the CIC evaluates an application case by case...if the sponsor is PR, s/he had relationship with someone in their country of origin, he goes back to the country to marry is one case; if the sponsor is PR, meets someone from his country or another country after he got his PR, they marry it's another case; and there could b many other situations; no matter when u apply or how long u wait after u get married u need to prove that ur relationship is genuine, a fast marriage and applying right after could make them suspicious; but also it could not; it all depends on ur situation and ur region too...in some cultures and regions, people marry faster, it's their normal way, in others they don't
