A few weeks. Anything more and you risk IRCC determining you no longer reside in Canada.
Spousal sponsorship
- Thread starter Leon
- Start date
Arbitrary. They generally issue the inland OWPs for 2 years, so you can put that.
An American doesn't need to notarize anything unless it's in a foreign language and needs translating.
Hi, is there any July or August 2017 applicants who didn’t get medical exam request yet?
I applied on the last day of July, sent the police certificate and schedule A back in September 15th and haven’t heard anything from them ever since. Anyone in the same situation?

But i will still have my address in canada, phone bills, internet bills all under my name. And I will be travelling to a few countries not staying in 1 countries. Does it help?
We’re August and nothing yet, last I read in the forum was med requests being sent out in November to May applicants..,,so guess they are on hold currently, probably see a stream of them again soon but June and July are ahead of us yet.
We have seen some movement on our file last week, the sponsorship app has changed to “in process” in ecas, and the background check changed in mycic to “we have started processing ..,etc”. Have you seen the same changes?
Will frequent visit be okay? Lets say i leave canada for 2-3 weeks return for a month then leave again? It’s hard to be apart for too long
A few weeks every couple of months would likely be fine. Frequent visits still run the risk of IRCC determining you don't really reside in Canada.
Hi all! : )
I'm so happy to have found these forums!
I'm Canadian, and my American fiancé and I have been in a relationship for just over 2 years, traveling back and forth to visit one another every 2 months or so. We plan on marrying soon so that I can sponsor him to become a PR in Canada.
I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find information about. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
1. Our initial plan was for him to to come to Canada as a visitor, then we would get married, and then apply for Spousal Sponsorship. After doing lots of reading here, it seems most couples are already married, before their partner joins them in Canada for the sponsorship process. Do you think it would make more sense for us to marry first, and have him crossing the border as my husband rather than my fiancé? Not sure if it makes a difference, but any insight would be great!
2. When dealing with customs at the border when he's coming to stay with me, what does he tell them? (I understand that they may be suspicious if we aren't married and he's saying he's coming to stay, get married and apply inland for PR) - even if we are married, do they require some kind of documentation if you're entering the country with no plans of leaving? Since he will enter on a 6 month visitors visa, do they want him to have a flight booked back to the States within 6 months? As I understand it, he needs to be IN Canada when we send in our sponsorship application - is this correct?
I hope that all made sense and I'm sorry for such a long post!
Thank you in advance for any replies.

No.. mine’s still “your action is required” even though I’ve reported a technical issue many times.
Have you had an e-mail that says they approved the police certificat and schedule A? Not sure if you’re supposed to get the e-mail about it. (I didn’t)
When we checked it last week the "your action is required" was replaced with "update", which was the background check changing status. But since then on subsequent sign ins to mycic the "your action is required" glitch is back. We never had any emails about schedule A/PCC (apart from the initial request after linking)
I the sponsor have not had any emails at all thus far, just noticed the sponsorship application changed to "in process" on ecas (this happened the day after my wifes mycic background check got updated) so I guess it's moving forward!
hello everyone !
I need to apply for spouse sponsorship who is in India. Is the sponsorship only through paper application or online like how we did for express entry.
Please help.
