Spousal sponsorship

When I try to pay the permanent resident fee online, it says Transaction not approved. Does anyone know what to do??

Right now Ecas is down (at least for me it is... I can't log in) so maybe the online payment is down as well.... ?

Have you called your credit card company yet? They can tell you why the transaction is being declined. CIC fees seem to trigger anti-fraud rejections for some people, but if you call them and confirm with them they can clear it so the transaction will succeed.

e-cas is now broken. The form fields for logging in cannot be populated. Last night it was down entirely.

I suspect you are seeing them in the midst of an "upgrade" that has not gone so well. Either they will fix the upgrade or they will revert it, but often holiday weekends area good time for doing such things because the systems are least used.

Another question (thanks so much for the help on previous questions everyone!)

My husband has visited Canada a few times, but never more than six months at a time, always on the visitors visa. However, the TOTAL amount of time he's been in Canada ever does come up to more than six months. Does he need to have a police check done in Canada?

Also, at one point we came to Canada for about five months, then went travelling for a while (3 months) in Europe, then came back to Canada and have been here since. When the application asks for an address, during those three months should I list the specific addresses where we stayed, or should I list his Australian address, or should I list the Canadian address where we were before and after? Or should I just write travelling, or something?

Even if your husband had lived in Canada for two years, he wouldn't need a police check done unless CIC requested it. Unless they ask, you only need PCCs for countries outside Canada.

You were on vacation, so you would just list your permanent residence address. While five months is a long vacation, you never intended to "move" to those places, and thus you never severed your residential ties to your address in Canada.

Just stick to the Canadian address if that's where he lived, or the Australian address if he hadn't moved to Canada yet.

^^ Excellent, thank you! So even though it was a long vacation to Canada he should still put his Australian address as his residential address during that time?

Will there be any issues with the fact that we will be listing his current address as being here in Canada, since we intend to stay here (if his visitors visa is extended) during the processing of the visa?

Thanks again!

Yes. It was only a vacation, it wasn't a change in residence.

Generally, people list their residential address in their home country and their mailing address in Canada. I had a three year work permit, so I listed my Canadian address for both.

Excellent, thank you so much for that, I will definitely do the same!

Hi,
Me and my girlfriend will apply for inside Canada spousal sponsorship. I have a question regarding work permit.

As far as I know we should apply for work permit along with spousal sponsorship application.

Is it allowed for me as a sponsored person to work in Canada if I get a job offer before my girl friend's sponsorship application approval?

In other words, can I apply for work permit when I am offered a job during process of spousal application?

Thanks for your help in advance.
