Spousal sponsorship

[armoured]

hi all quick question:
1. i recently travelled to India. My spouse outland is in process. do I have to let ircc know in any stage that I travelled back after applying?
2. because I am under quarantine right now. i m not getting paid leaves? should I apply Canada recovery benefit which covers under situation of mandatory quarantine or I should not because with spousal application it says that person sponsoring should not receive any kind of social assistance from govt. other than ODSP. will they be checking my tax returns?
any insights will be helpful. thank you.

1. You should not need to advise them. How long were you away?

2. CERB is not considered social assistance.

Hello All,

1. How quick I can file for her spouse sponsorship provided I will be back to Canada in January after doing marriage?
2. Based on current process time, what is expected time to get visa for her?
3. After filing for her PR file, can she apply for visitor visa? or is it advisable?

I would appreciate your response. Thank you.

It is always good to inform them via webform that you visited spouse
I guess it wont affect your sponsorship. This does not look like a social thing. But lets hear more replies

1. You can submit the sponsorship application as soon as you have returned to Canada.
2. Probably around a year but difficult to guess.
3. She can certainly apply for a TRV. It can be difficult to be approved with a Canadian spouse since IRCC knows she has plans on remaining in Canada long term. Also note that TRV processing times are quite long right now.
4. TRV would be the fastest. If she wants to continue studying in Canada then another option would be a study permit. She will want to make sure the program is is taking in Canada makes sense in light of her previous education and work experience. For example, if she already has a bachelor, then she would ideally be taking a masters in Canada. As with the TRV, it will be more difficult for her to be approved since you are Canadian.

I was away for 3 weeks.

Can I apply for TRV for my wife? I have submitted my file on 28 August 2020 and received 3 September but no update after that. I was wondering if i can call her on Temporary Visa until anything comes up. Any Idea if that will work?

We wish we all could call spouses here, but it won't happen that easy. U got to prove and satisfy them that she will go back.

Hi guys.
What do they mean by this. Do I need to get vaccinated before I leave or is it ok to get vaccinations when I arrive in Canada?
I am currently not vaccinated.

Health Documentation

"Children in Canada are vaccinated (immunized) starting when they are newborns. Vaccinations help to prevent serious infections or diseases.

When you travel to Canada, bring official documents that state what vaccinations you and your family have already had. If you or your child hasn’t been vaccinated, call your doctor or local public health clinic right away.

In Canada, your children need immunization or vaccination records to enrol in school."

Thanks in advance!

What they mean here are a few important things:
1) If you have children they MUST get vaccinations to go to school.
2) Bring your vaccination records with you to Canada, because otherwise you may have to get the vaccinations re-done.

(BTW I'm not sure but it's likely some jobs may require certain vaccinations)

I would strongly encourage you to get vaccinations done in Canada when you arrive if you haven't had. Doctors in Canada will do this (or make arrangements).

It may seem odd including fact that some of the illnesses are seen as "childhood" diseases, but there are big differences in what diseases are common in different parts of the world, and some of them are much, much more dangerous if you get them as an adult.

Hello,
I have personal experience with these vaccinations thing.

I had to do volunteer in a hospital, they asked me to bring my vaccinations record. I asked my mom to send over from India, but they said it’s an old record( usually vaccinations are given in childhood) and we cannot confirm if it’s good and complete( some words were not in English).

so, they sent me to get blood work, to check if I have immunity against hepatitis, BCG and some more.

When the results came, they said I have low immunity for Hepatitis B, and they asked me to get a booster dose.

similarly, with my friend, she came all negative against Hepatitis B, so she had to take all 3 shots and a booster.

blood work will be free as covered by OHIP, but if u will be low against some immunity, you pay for the injections.

So, you bring your child’s vaccination record, if something will be unclear or not as per Canadian protocol, they will order blood word and if anything needed, they will advice you. Also, I believe healthcare is totally free for children.


Thanks

As others have said bring whatever immunization records you have with you, in order to enrol your child in school there is a list of vaccinations that are required to be done. In Ontario we submitted it to the school board then they arranged to have the couple other shots done that we didn't have. In ON it's free, I don't know about other provinces.
