How long is a normal amount of time for it to sit like this?

(spousal sponsorship) My fiancé entered Canada as a visitor, then the next month we got married. Two months later, we sent the sponsorship application package. Did the undertaking start during any of this time? They only recently got the eCoPR.

We just received the ‘approval in principle letter’ — is this letter enough to now apply for a SIN?

we're doing inland so we need to extend my partner's current status (which is temporary resident; he received a Visitor Record at POE). the guide says we should do it online but then says we need to download, validate, and sign forms. and send them to them? how do we send them? we already...

We just sent the sponsorship application but my partner would like to open a bank account and needs a SIN for this. I noticed on the govt website that you can use just a Visitor Record to apply for a SIN. Is this correct? is it okay to do this now? or is it somehow 'bad' to obtain a SIN before...

IMM 5406, section C, asks to list all siblings including dates of birth, addresses, and email addresses. If my partner has 5 siblings, what do we do? unlike other forms, there's no button to "add rows" also: is it necessary to include post codes for other countries? and for minors, do we really...

Is it unusual for spouse-in-canada class ("inland") applications to be sent in when the foreign spouse is only here on a six-month temporary visitor permit. My partner is from a visa-exempt country so doesn't even have a visa--only an eTa. Is this pretty common? or, on the other hand, is it...

My partner arrived as a visitor and within 24 hours has already received two "IMM___" documents, which together have four different numbers listed (two were underlined by CBSA officer) -- will we need to include any of these numbers on the sponsorship application? here's the gist of what he's...

I'm trying to figure out which option to choose for my partner who has done 5 years of university studies in Mexico. He says he doesn't have any master's nor doctorate, and we don't think "post-secondary - no degree" would be correct... So we are trying to figure out if his university diploma...

I understand I'm supposed to fill this out all digitally and then print. But then question 4 (part A) says: First: How do you write N/A next to the checkbox? adobe acrobat reader doesn't seem to allow writing 'free form' (or the special IRCC pdf forms don't allow it) Second: since imm1283...

I'm asking because my partner arrived at port of entry today and was interviewed by CBSA (and maybe an immigration officer? i'm not sure--and his english is decent but he gets easily flustered). I just know the first officer asked few questions (basically just ensuring he submitted info in...

Mexico – Instruction(s) for documents Official documents issued by this country must be government-certified true copies (copies certified as authentic by the issuing governmental authority, signed and sealed). My partner got a new birth certificate and took it to the Archivo General de...

(I'm in ontario) Just wondered if these two things always come together / happen at the same time? or does one come later

The IRCC website says that after we send in the sponsorship package, it 'usually takes about 4 months' before spouse gets open work permit. Then what? what are all the steps after that? my understanding was that we have to get medical exam or fingerprints or dna or i don't even know what else...

I guess the title says it but I'm trying to figure out how long it would be before my spouse can return to visit their family back in their home country?

I'm trying to create a "draft calculation" of how long my partner will have to wait before they get OHIP. Once border opens... Fly to YYZ, quarantine 2 weeks 1. First, get married a. get birth certificate / passport translateD - time: ?? b. get marriage licence - week or two? c. get...

I'm on disability but I work part time and am thinking of hiring a representative or lawyer to help me sponsor my partner. We're waiting for the border to open so partner can come here and we'll marry. I wondered if there are any representatives or immigration lawyers who work with disabled and...

I'm trying to get all the forms I need to apply to sponsor my spouse, but the forms on the IRCC website are in a special PDF format that requires adobe software which is only available on Windows, Mac, and Android. It is not available for iPad, Linux, etc Since I don't have a pc/mac/android, I...
