Hi, We've been in the sponsorship system for some time. We received the approval of myself (a Canadian citizen) as sponsor three months ago. Now my husband who I am sponsoring is required to have further police checks both from France and the US where he has previously lived (he had no criminal...

Just got my letter from Mississauga saying we meet the requirements for eligibility to sponsor, and our application has been forwarded to the High Commission of Canada in London. Yay!!!! Should I be prepared for another lot of form filling, or are we almost there?

Hi There, Just got an email today ackowledging receipt of my application (sent 100 days ago!) and am now in possession of a Unique Client Identifier, and Application Numer. Wonderful, it feels like it didn't just disappear into the ether! I tried to track my progress using these numbers, but the...

That IS good news. Thanks!

Hi There, I am a Canadian/British citizen living in the UK. I am sponsoring my American/British husband, as we are moving to Nova Scotia in August. I sent our completed sponsorship application form, together with police check and medical on March 14th. So far, I haven't heard a Dickie Bird! I am...

My husband has British nationality, and should be fine coming in as a visitor for 6 months. I know others who have done so.

Hi, It's now been 90 days since I sent my application to sponsor my husband for PR in Canada. I haven't heard anything from them, not even a reference number so I can track my progress. We are moving to Halifax in September, so my husband will go in as a visitor to start with. Does this then...

We are trying to fill out this form, and question 27 asks the dates of periods of cohabitation. How do we indicate that we are still living together, as there is only a date field to complete? Any ideas?? Thanks

It's now 55 days since I sent my application to sponsor my husband from the UK for Permanent Residency in Canada. I haven't had any communication yet. I was hoping by now to have had a reference number so I can see what progress my application is making. Does anyone know how much longer I'm...

I am a Canadian citizen and have completed and sent off sponsorship forms for permanent residency for my American husband. We are likely to move back to Canada from the UK before receiving PR. What sort of visa do we need for my husband, and, how do we apply for it? Any one know?? He has a job...

My daughter sent off completed documents for changing her name on her Canadian citizenship card recently. Does anyone know how long it might take to receive the updated card? We know that it has arrived in Canada from London. Thanks

I got mine as soon as I paid. Then there was an email to print out and send with your application. Good luck!

I have found yet another form that I'm unsure of whether I need to fill it in or not. The IMM5406 seems to be asking my husband, who I am sponsoring, about his dependents. Also it looks as if it should be included in Part 2, once my request to sponsor him has been accepted. Can anyone please...

Another nightmare form! I just found IMM 5540. It's almost impossible for me to answer all of these questions. I am a Canadian Citizen, but have lived in England since I was 9. I'm 60 now, and really don't know all the details of addresses I have lived in over the years, phone numbers etc. I...

Hi, Oh boy, just when I think I've got it, I find another formthat confuses me!!! I am sponsoring my husband for PR. I thought I was ready to send everything off. Now I see there are TWO different check lists IMM 5491 and IMM 5287. We've done the police check, the medical, paid the money...
