Guys, still need help with a question. Please help if you can.
My brother's wife is overseas and I am helping him with the paperwork to have her come here. To the best of my ability, I finished the paperwork and we are ready to send them to the processing office.
The only question that I am not sure about is whether we need to include passport style pictures of her with the application or not. She has to submit to bio metrics in her home country.
Calling the ICC toll free number but can not get through to an agent.
Please help with this question. Thank you

She needs to send photos with the application but they have to meet the specific requirements asked by CIC

Check the country specifics too and aee what does she need to send

Thank you for your reply.
This is the confusing part. In the requirements, as you can see from the wording on the ICC website, no photographs are demanded. I assumed that since she has to undergo biometrics, she will be directed to an Embassy authorized photographer. In the checklist "Document Checklist Spouse (including dependent children of spouse) [IMM 5533] Box 5 of the principal applicant's section asks for 2 photographs. I am not sure if the checklist is a generic list or it is country specific.
Here is a copy of the country specific documents required, lifted from the ICC website:

Thanks for the reply. But do I need to show both the addressee for same time period in PR Application. Please advise
I should have been more clear, she was a friend at the time and was not engaged to me(anything might have been a stretch). I wanted to check if this would create any issues when I sponsor her PR now so I can provide any details required in LOE.
There is a good they won't find your relationship genuine considering in Deb 2018 you were only friends abd 1 month later, youre married. This raises major red flags ...
Hi I'm also applying to sponsor my husband from st. Vincent which goes through the office in Trinidad. I filled August 13th 2018 and just got my request for medical today. Don't know if this helps.....
No one from CIC will answer here - this is a public forum not run or maintained by CIC or anyone in any official capacity.
The checklist is very clear: under SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FOR SPONSORED PERSONS number 5 says to send photos.
EDIT: you said the CIC instructions don't mention photos. They are clearly required in the checklist that you yourself posted here as part of the application package.
Timelines are not dependent on when additional things are requested. Average processing times remain 12 months from application receipt, regardless of when other steps are done. So if you filed in August, assume August 2019, maybe a month or two sooner if the case is straightforward and the recent faster processing remains.
Hi Folks,
I have an urgent question to ask. My file is with NDVO, transferred on Dec 11. Current GcKey status is BGC started. However am considering to file TRV for my spouse. She has a job and can manage to get Employment letter including roles and responsibilities.
Now most important what reason should i give for her visit to Canada while i file for TRV?
We manage to have 4L rs in her account also she has house on lease of an year. I will have to be careful about this reason because this may decide rejection. I can ask her employer to write in the letter that she has some exam from her stream after her visit where she must be in India. would that make any difference?
Please help!
