But it's the same method with spousal sponsorship. Because your spouse needs to get biometric, medical and she needs to send her passport to visa office at the emd of process, same method, same process. But the difference is:
- In " add on process" you don't need to provide a lot of evidences for IRCC
- But in "sponsorship process" you have to provide a lot of evidences for IRCC
I agree that family sponsorship and adding a spouse during the end of refugee application process is very different. The timeline is different.
Even the medical exam "passing" condition is different. Not sure about specifically refugee but for non-family sponsorship, if the spouse is deteremined to have excessive medical demand, the application can be refused. Same for most of the criminal and background check. Any of the princple applicant or the dependent (spouse is this case) can result in refusal.

BUT for family sponsorship of a spouse of a PR/Canadian citizen, the PA (in this case the spouse), will not be refused based on medical check. Timeline of the sponsorship is also not 2 years. You are posting in the wrong section and the wrong discussion and therefore, you will get wrong answers.

hello everyone ! I was on work permit from 2019 to 2021 June, I became PR on June 2021, my Wife and Daughter are living with me in canada from 2019 until now, they are still on temporary resident Visa, I am getting my documents read to sponsor my wife and daughter as PR. We have a new born who is born in canada on Jan 2022. I have applied for my Parents Supervisa, on Oct 2021, which is still pending. I have few doubt on application from.
1) Have you sponsored in the past , or you are currently sponsoring, any other member of your family in different application ?
should I mention my parents name ? Dose they count as sponsor for supervisa ?
You are good....sponsor them all and let the reason be that the parents are coming to take care of the child.....

Their names should be your private affairs not any social media person you don't know anything about other than their usernames

I mean my PR application and add on process exist by ircc law, i know a lot of people so they brought their spouse here with that add on process, not a sponsorship, never mind, you didn't understand me and you know only sponsorship process. Good luck and chill, don't get mad. Because I was asked just a question.
Take this....Anything from refugee or H&C applications, you must sponsor your spouse but economic class where express entry etc are involved, you can add your spouse in the process as accompanied but H&C and refugee are always unaccompanied and spouse must be sponsored!!

We resubmitted our PR-Spousal application in November, where we have been living together and declared Common-Law for the past 2+ years. At that point in time, we were not engaged or married. However, in December, we got engaged. Do you think this would be something that I should mention or submit a webform for to put in as additional supporting documentation? Or should I only worry about it if they request any further documents?

I know they want you to update IRCC via WebForms if anything major changes such as Marriage, or birth of a child... so just curious...

Getting engaged isn't sufficient change to require an update (unlike marriage or newborn). It won't hurt to update IRCC, but if you're confident in the evidence you provided the first time I would not send an update if I was in your shoes.

Thanks, that's what I figured.

And yep, I'm pretty confident in what we gave them i.e. 6+ months of Joint Bank / CC Statements, 3 years of photos, joint car loan documents, insurance benefits etc...

Where do you want them to process your file....which country understands Indian marriage policies other than India....Your file will be shared between India regional office center and Canada's CIO which is the centralized intake office....usually, Sydney, Nova Scotia....so your file MUST be sent to India by hook or crook because aren't no officer here in Canada understands Indian marriage principles and settings other than india
Hi guys I have read some comments from other members wherein they got a message saying that there file is being transferred to a specific visa office like NVDO etc. I haven't received an email with a specific visa office. Generally, do we receive such an email later in the process?

That is part of the sponsor approval letter, but they sometimes leave it blank and don't specify a location.

Hi guys,

I applied through Inland sponsorship 3 days ago, How long does it take to receive AOR ?
Also my partner qualifies to be a sponsor according the law, however I was wondering if IRCC might refuse my application because my partner income makes less then I do. I m on PGWP in Canada. Thanks in advance guys :)

I submitted my Inland Sponsorship on 24th November and received AOR1 on Dec 29 and AOR2 on Feb 16.

Regarding the income question, as long as your partner is not on any social welfare, it does not really matter how much you or her makes.

Sponsor your spouse, partner or children: check if you’re eligible - Canada.ca

Who is eligible to sponsor their spouse, partner or child
You can sponsor your spouse, partner or dependent child if:
  • You’re at least 18 years old
  • You’re a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act
    • If you’re a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show that you plan to live in Canada when the persons you want to sponsor become permanent residents.
    • You can’t sponsor someone if you’re a permanent resident living outside Canada.
  • You’re able to prove that you’re not receiving social assistance for reasons other than a disability
  • you can provide for the basic needs of any persons you want to sponsor

That is relative....It depends on the load at CIO and the regional offices at that time....Usually on sponsorship, the home country of the Principal Applicant is the best bet but certain sessions can be transfered to different visa offices like sharing of information or some aspects of background and checks.....it all depends of officers discretion
