New Delhi - 2012 applicants

[amira_mais]

heyy....as far as i know u can visit any other country if you are a PR. the more you live together the better it is. i m a pr and i m out canada almost 5 months and this does not affect my application. you can be out of canada at any time unless or until you decide to permanently stay outside. i called the call center in canada they said yes i can travel!

That's right, as a PR, you can travel but only for short periods of time. As others mentioned, a PR must be residing in Canada for the duration of the spouse's application. You can travel for short periods of time but if you had told the CIC call center you planned to stay outside Canada for months, they would have told you the application would be refused.

There was a recent case in one of the other forums (Pakistani one maybe?) similar to this. The sponsor was a PR who wanted to wait with his wife while her application was processed and they fully intended to return to Canada when the visa was issued, but when CIC found out, their application was denied on the basis that the husband didn't meet the legal definition of a sponsor. The rule about residency is clear but they were either unaware or didn't understand it fully.

Even if you were a Cdn citizen and thus allowed to wait with your spouse outside Canada while the application was being processed, CIC would want a clear demonstration that you intend to move back to Canada as soon as the visa is issued. So no free ride for Cdns either.

Since you're a PR, when you finally return to Canada, you'll have to show your PR card and at that time CIC/CBSA could put two and two together about you being out of the country for so many months during your spouse's visa application processing. This can definitely cause trouble for you upon your return. Wish I could suggest a solution but don't think there is one...

Hey if login with sponsors UCI it shows: Your current home address
and if i login with my file number or UCI no it says :Your current mailing address


I hope it is clear now

Thanks Kanika and everyone else to confirm the same. I suspect the folks who had two different add for residential and mailing add for the sponsor in Canada see both when they login on ECAS as a sponsor , and folks who have the same add for both see only one.

And I contacted CIC to confirm that its okay to see one of them on change add application. My residential add is the same as the mailing add and that is what ND was sent.

Congrats man! Does the new Canada address shows up on ECAS for u now?

Hey Lalatata - Thanks! I was away for the long weekend... only now had a chance to see all the postings. The new Canada address showed up on ecas even before I saw the DM (at least a few days before). Canada address showing up under Applicant's name in Ecas was a clue to me that the file is being looked at even though I didn't see "In Process" and it still said "Application Received". Few days later, it changed to DM and the Canada address continued to show up.

Hi lalatata ,
When i check the status using sponsor i see 2 different addresses as i had different residential and mailing addr.
When i check status using applicant's UCI i see india's mailing address.

You should ask CHC ND by sending them an email to change and or confirm the applicant mailing add. that should be the indian add ..

Hi,

I want to know how I can contact my MP. In fact I am in Calgary and would like to know how I can contact my MP (I hope my visa will be processed soon and things will not go to that extent, but gathering the info). Where I can find the MP in Calgary? Will Calgary will have different MP's depending on area?

Anybody in this forum from Calgary?

You need to contact the MP for your riding. Go to this website and type in your post code to figure who this is: parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC

Good News: My wife got her PP back on Friday with a shining visa stamped on it The Visa is good till Jan 2013 (expires on the same day as her medical).

Actually, nobody was home so the mail man delivered it to the neighbour. It is a small town so no big deal... pretty much everyone in the neighbourhood knows each other very well including the mail man. So, all worked out well.

Thank you for everyone's support on this forum. I wish good luck to you all.

Congrats indocan.....wish u guys great life ahead.... enjoy....
