    Are you submitting IMM 5669 online or part of your initial spousal PR application? If it's the latter, you'll need to print out the form and sign using pen, otherwise your entire application will get returned: "For this form to be accepted as part of a paper application, each person required to...

    Have you tried linking your OWP online? I also received no mention of our OWP application in the AOR letter, but I was able to link my husband's OWP online that same day.

    FBI Background Check - New Procedure?

    Yep, you can do that entire FBI background check from Canada - that's what my husband did. He used the new online FBI Identity History Summary Request site (https://www.edo.cjis.gov/#/), and received his police certificate online a week after he mailed in his fingerprints. As to your second...

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    No problem! I remember feeling devastated after the interaction with the CBSA officer, so I'm glad I was able to help someone facing the same situation :) It all worked out in the end for us, and it'll be the same way for you too, especially since you're both so close to the border. That makes...

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    Before his visitor permit expired (180 days after his latest visit to Canada), he applied to get his visitor permit extended for another year - we sent them our marriage license + all of the inland sponsorship fees upfront to show that we were serious about our intent to apply for his permanent...

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    After three or four months me going down to visit him in the states every other weekend, he tried to visit me again in Canada... and was successful! He had to go through secondary and show the officer all the ties he had in the States, but he made it through. After that, he'd visit me in Canada...

    IMM 5669 Schedule A, Background Check Validation Issues

    You can try putting down the birth date as 1900/01/01 in order to validate the form, and then explain the correct date on a separate sheet.

    Had a terrifying experience. I need to know if this was handled correctly or if I should complain.

    I totally empathize with where you’re coming from since I was in a similar scenario - my American husband worked for an American company, but also spent nights with me in Canada. A CBSA officer eventually denied him access to Canada since he didn’t have enough ties to the states, so after that...

    Police certificate for dependant child AND sponsor?

    Hmmm, that I'm not sure about. You could try asking in the EE forum and hopefully someone can answer you there: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/forums/express-entry-expression-of-interest.54/

    Police certificate for dependant child AND sponsor?

    There's now an online process for FBI History Summary checks that could maybe help you: https://www.edo.cjis.gov I would try filling out online application form, and then call the FBI office to see if they can link your previous summary request with the online request. Good luck!

    2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

    They actually updated Schedule A again - it lists the latest updated form as Dec 2016 on the website, but if you click on the link the form reads (02-2018) at the bottom. I checked both the 2016 and 2018 version and they were identical to each other except for the footer date, so I think you...
