Spousal sponsorship

[bilalali]

"Becoming religious" to try to look more genuine would also seem to indicate a fraud marriage.

She should stay as long as possible.

Whether she changes her name is up to her.

You must be in Canada to qualify for the OWP.

Don't know what you mean about the age.

So you're saying that she should stay non-religious but we should have a Pakistani wedding? What's the minimum time she should spend here? And what other things do you suggest to make it more strong? What things you suggest us to do? And she is going to be the one to submit all papers for us, mine and hers, right? Thanks for being so helpful

Again, "turning religious" just for the marriage is fake. There is no minimum time. Read the guide and checklist to see what you need.

Hi,

we're finally getting to the last steps before sending in our application, and have a few smaller and a bigger question;

1) My wife (Principal applicant has been living with me (sponsor) as a visitor since October. We will apply outland as because of the nature of my work we are not always physically living together, but are wondering whether we should state that she is currently living in Canada or not? Are there pros / cons? Later on in the application, should we state our current address in Canada?

2) In form IMM 008 for our dependant child do we put down my wife's UCI or leave it blank? (Page 3, Question 3) My daughter doesn't have a UCI as she is a minor.

3) My wife and our daughter have a mild case of a controlled genetic disorder (Marfan). Is that considered a serious disease?

Thanks!

1. You can still apply inland, will have to explain about not being able to always live together because of your work. If you decide to apply out-land, then you will of course have to mention (where asked on the form(s)) current Canada as her current country of residence, last entry in Canada, dates, and number of her visa/visitor record. Saying otherwise will be misrepresantion (Being charged with misrepresentation is big Con= application will be rejected with a ban to enter Canada). So yes, you will have to give the actual address she lives in (Canada). On the checklist you will select I am currently living in Canada and I am applying under the Family Class.

2. If your child entered Canada on a visa with their own passport, then the child has their own UCI.

3. I am not sure if being medically inadmissible because of excessive demand on health or social services applies to spouses/dependent children. MFS is not a condition that can be seen as a 'danger to others' so I wouldn't think it might be an issue.

Hello Forum members. I need clarification on this issue. In an instance were by an application for spousal sponsorship receipt was just acknowledged 27th February 2019, biometrics done 10th of December 2019. Still awaiting results for biometrics and it's like waiting forever. Can you shed more light on when to expect the biometrics result?

Biometrics show up right after you got your fingerprints and photo taken on your CGKEY/ your online account

Thank you Eveslm,

We did find information on the Immigration Canada Website stating that sponsored spouses / children cannot be inadmissible because of health issues, and Marfan is definitely not a huge burden on the health care system, especially with the mild case my wife has and the employer insurance policy that I have. So we're not really worried, but we want to know whether to put it on the forms. I might just put it down or call IRCC tomorrow morning.

And my daughter never got her own visitor record or UCI, so I will have that space blank.

Thanks again!

Yes. If the child didn't receive their own visa/visitor record then it should be blank. And yes MFS is not a serious condition. You can decide to mention it or not. My child has a very mild physical disability as well, she is very mobile and has no complications. We decided to mention it and explain that it is not serious; I just did not want any complications by withholding information, and thought that perhaps if I don't mention anything, and during the medical school the panel physician finds puts it as a serious condition then it may create unwanted complications. So I answered no to the questions, and the explanation box I gave an explanation of her condition, and we passed medicals.

Hey guys, I hope I'm not overthinking this. For evidence of our relationship, it asks for 10 pages maximum of social media conversations, emails, texts, etc. I have compiled a word document where every page is a clean screenshot of my facebook messenger messages between my wife and I. I've included messages across a vast amount of time, several for each year we've been messaging each other for.

I guess my question is, do they care too much about format or what sort of information should be included? Would 10 pages of messages from varying times in our relationship suffice? If I include messages where we sent photos of each other (non-explicit of course) OK? ..or are they looking for word exchanges only?

Do the chat messages have to be anything of significance, or can it just be the usual lovely-dovey banter between us?

Really appreciate the help folks, thank you.

pay attention to quality and on 5 pages you can show the relationship, especially at 10. you can place several screenshots on 1 page, by the way my life hack, on the side I commented on screenshots, because phrases were taken out of context. Of course, I chose screenshots where emotions and important discussions are visible.

I'd try pick chats that cover a wide range of conversations. The day to day stuff, the serious stuff (personal issues, family issues, financial issues etc), the fights even. If it's all lovey-dovey it might come across as a superficial relationship.

That being said. I am not sure how much thought the IRCC puts into the content of the messages. I have read they are just more concerned about seeing the time/date stamps. That there has been some form of communication over a period of time.

Still I'd go for a variety of content over a variety of periods. Also stick to 10 pages maximum as the instructions say. If they want more they will request it.
