Spousal sponsorship

[veuknz]

There's going to be no advantage. Since you're applying inland, inland processing times will apply. You'll need to provide PCCs for everywhere you've lived since 18 and security / background checks will apply to all of these countries.

I know in New Zealand the residency PCC requirement is for every country you've lived in for 1 year or longer in the past 7 years. Are you saying its every country since 18? What constitutes living in terms of time frame?

This is what I'm seeing on the sponsorship form

Police certificates
You (the principal applicant), and any family members 18 or older (who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents), must submit police certificates from the following country or countries with your application:

• The country where you (or they) currently live, if you have lived there for six months or more.
  and
  
  
• The country where you (or they) have spent most of your (their) life since the age of 18.

Hello Folks,

Can you please help me with this question:

I have received the Parents and Grandparents Program Invitation yesterday. My question is

If I put the application to sponsor my parents, will I be able to sponsor my spouse this year as well?

I was filling the form "Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344)" under Sponsor eligibility assessment

It says, "If you answer “Yes” to any question between 5 and 15

• You are not eligible to be a sponsor. You should not submit an application.

Question 6:
Have you Submitted a previous application in respect of which a final decision has not been made for the person being sponsored and their family members?

Should I be checking YES if my parents' sponsor is still waiting for a final decision. or it should be NO as this is a Spousal Sponsorship. Please help

Thanks,

Note the words "person being sponsored", which is the Principal Applicant. If you are applying to sponsor your spouse, she is the PA and you have not applied to sponsor her before, so the answer would be no.

Thank you so much for clearing this out for me.

I think they send the payment instruction first, you pay and you have to follow the instructions about how and where to send the receipt. This letter is not the biometrics instruction letter, you'll have to wait for it. I got the same.

Yes, but i m still waiting for 15days.no any emails for biometric instruction email

Does anyone know the wait time right now for Venezuela applicaiton? my wife is from Venezuela. its been 4 months now since medical results been received on January 12, 2019 and still no response from CIC. I'm concern cause my wife passport expires in April 2020 and she needs to be in Canada before November 2019 or even October just incase.

My wife also told me since her passport is expiring soon she might need to leave the country in June 2019 cause she won't be able to travel out of the country anytime after that. They received our application on September 2018.

Hello, I have a Question. Once I start the process for spousal sponsorship (Outland), Does the communication addressed to the sponsor (Canadian Citizen) is delivered by regular mail or email? is there an option to choose from one or the other? Thanks

It takes approximately 12 months to process the application. It is normal that you don't hear from IRCC very often as there is no update.There is no need to concern, just be prepared to wait for some time.

It takes approximately 2-3 months to get AOR1. It will take more time to get any further instructions.
