I havent seen him for 2 years now and things aren't easy tbh ,,, we don't even know when we can hear anything back and what to plan or expect if you are planning to get engaged just get married right away and start the papers as it can take 2 years or less

Hi Everyone
I know this is not related to this form but I need your help. I have done B.Tech and M.Tech from India and I am going on Spouse Visa. So if I need to do ECA via WES for further education, which option do i need to choose. WES standard application or ECA application for IRCC. As i have already received my COPR. I am really confused. Please help me.

Hi , if your case same as mine as i did entercounter same before then u dont have to re-pay anything ,,, i believe you can provide same receipt and might be asked to pay extra later on only if there was a change in fees and will be only difference of old charges to new and shouldnt be a substantial amount

There is only one applicant. No children.

Do we need to include the spouse/sponsor's name in this appendix?

LONDON VO sent this along with passport request.

Please advise, if only filling PA's name in this appendix is good enough, or does the sponsor's name also need to be included?

No, it does not.

No, it does not.

Thanks for the reply. So I will keep the spouse row empty then.

I appreciate any information or feedback regarding my questions and confusions below. Any help will be grateful.

I'm trying to apply inland Spouse Sponsorship together with the Open Work Permit.
I found the paper form with document checklist from Canada.ca (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/apply-paper.html).

1. On IMM5556 checklist, it has listed a few conditions, none of which applies to our situation - inland Spouse Sponsorship, my spouse is not a student or holder of a work permit but a PR in Canada and we are living together, and my current status is a visitor. Does it mean I only need to provide whatever is applicable under Forms List and Documents List?
2. I was reading guide 5553, it stated I need to provide "evidence that you meet the requirements of the job, possibly including specific educational requirements and a valid Canadian provincial or territorial trade certificate," is it a must for Open Work Permit with the Spouse Sponsorship? If so, what do I need to provide? Like work letter from previous company or Master degree diploma to be certified by WES or organizations like that?

Thank you guys.

Hello,

I have a specific question about outland spousal sponsorship.

My fiancée is a Kenyan citizen currently on work permit in Europe. Since she was previously married, all her legal documents including her passport have her previous married name. She has the divorce certificate. The only document that does not have her previous married name is her birth certificate, obviously.

My question is - in order to sponsor her, does she need to change her name again to her maiden name in all the documents? That would be a huge under taking before the wedding. I don't mind her having the previous married name in all her legal documents until she gets her PR and then we can worry about changing it.

Is this a potential complication waiting to happen in the application process?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!

No need to change and I shouldn't think any issues.

She'll need to show the change of name document (which may be done by way of the marriage certificate/assumption of married name in Kenya, I don't know), and then the divorce documentation information.

If you should think there is some part of this that's unclear, include a short letter of explanation.

But apart from establishing that birth certificate her is the same person as all other documentation her (again, by way of marriage certificate, which should have her name before marriage and possibly also after), it sounds pretty normal - I don't think much you need to explain.

Do not need to justify or explain why she has not reverted to maiden name nor not taken your name yet.

If he'll need to travel back and forth, outland is better. If he does outland, though, cannot apply for open work permit.

Generally no need to hire a lawyer - it's intimidating at first but manageable.

Thank you for that input! Just wanted to add that after our vacation out of Canada in Dec, I will be back and my husband will be staying in Canada with me for 5months then travel for 2 weeks, come back again for 5months, out for 2 weeks. So basically he will spend at least 10.5 months out of 12 in 2022 in Canada. Do you still think Inland PR sponsorship is not possible?

Apart from that had other questions:
1. Once we start the application inland/outland, can I (Sponsor) leave Canada for few months? Is there a limit of days I can go out of Canada?
2. Does the Spousal PR application get any points based on work experience of the person being sponsored?
3. Is there a way to share details of any immigration law firm that you or someone you know have had a good experience with on this?
