Hi All,

We are in this shitty situation. We lost the password to the email that we gave on my wife's application. We can't retreave it. Google sucks.

question number 1: Does CIC email me or my wife (who is being sponsored). Online application status says (medical test reviewed)
question number 2: how can i update her email if the visa office hasn't contacted me yet?

kindly advise.
Thanks.

I received all of the emails on my application. I was the sponsor, my wife was the PA (having said that, there were no requests for additional information).

The only emails I got were for AOR, Sponsor Approval then emails for updates made to MyCIC account.

the sponsor will receive the initial communications - sponsor approval and acknowledgement of receipt. the sponsor approval letter will include instructions for the applicant if they need to contact the visa office of any changes. this is when she can contact them about her application and changing her email address. there really is no point in doing this until that point.

Hi, thanks for your responses.

We contacted them to change the email and it turns out that they have emailed my wife for paying the RPRF. They then forwarded it to the new email. Thanks God. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known. We still have two weeks to make the payment.

Is request for RPRF a good sign in this case? The medical were received as well and presumably reviewed at this point...

thanks in advance!

RPRF is a good sign. Congrats.

Could you please show your time line?

timeline as follows:

June 5 (2016) applied for sponsorship
July 30 (2016) approved eligibility, apps of wife/kids sent to visa office
Visa office start processing the apps on Aug 1 (2016)
Medicals reviewed by the end of 2016
January 13 (2017) visa office asked for RPRF

A strange thing is that I have applied and left Canada in about 10 days. Been with my wife and kids all this time except for a short visit (1 week) in January 2017 to pick up my new PR card. Should't that affect the sponsorship process? I have complied with residency obligations but still?

As a PR, you're supposed to remain in Canada to sponsor someone. It sounds like you knew this, yet left anyway? Maybe I'm misreading it.

I came for a short visit but PRTD took too long to get. 3 months in total. After that, I am still staying and hoping that they will still grant my family visa. Unless it is 100% guaranteed now that they will reject it based on the fact that I was not in Canada...???

Your mileage may vary as to what ultimately happens.

Visa Office asked for copies of Passports for wife and children...

What's next. What are the chances that they will investigate whether or not I am in Canada?

What is the usual procedure with regards to the sponsor, after sponsored individual gets PPR?

thanks in advance...

Passport requests generally are at the end of the application process. Their passports will be returned with the PR counterfoil stamp and their COPR documents (landing documents), which they will need to use to land as PRs.

After sponsor approval, there is nothing else done with the sponsor. At this point, all communication will go to the applicant. there is nothing else needed from the sponsor.

Hi is this an outland application or inland .. ?
