For sponsor "Decision Made ", is SA, for PA, looks like passport soon for visa.
Isn't it rather.....too quick, all things considered? I'm cautiously optimistic but it would seem, then, that my sponsorship application (which was returned once back in March before being resubmitted in August) got processed, within less than 122 ish days, which is suspiciously quick. Perhaps, too quick. o_O

First time I submitted was back in March 2021. Returned in June and resubmitted around end August 2021.

Got my AOR around end-October.

Got the Sponsor Approval in early December.

My wife got her Biometrics and Medical Request in early December, too.
Did you apply from India?

Can't speak for @twinmama15 , but not true in my case because I've already received the SA letter a week and a bit ago and the Sponsor's status (in this case, myself) has been 'Decision Made' for quite a while now.

The thing that's puzzling for me is that the PA's status also changed this morning to 'Decision Made', with the only noticeable event for them recently being their Biometrics and Medicals being done.
My husband had an email waiting this morning, it was to check his GCKey messages and it was his pre arrival letter! I bet your wife has her letter as well keep me updated on how your going with it all.

That's awesome to hear! Congrats! :D

I've messaged my rep to share a copy of whatever they have gotten from GCKey on their side with me so I could take a look too. I'll post an update when I've heard back from them.

Hello,
I am applying for a Spousal visa from Quebec for my wife(Outland). Do I need to apply to CSQ first before submitting an application to IRCC? As in IMM008, it asks for CSQ "When did you apply for CSQ"
Thank you

Hello,

I am sponsoring my wife(Outland), while filling Imm5533e document, there are some doubts regarding the below list. Can someone pls clarify?
  1. Important documents for you and your spouse showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such a or insurance benefits)
  2. Documentary evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor, and/or shared expenses.
  3. Other proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and/or family (e.g. Letters from friends/family, information showing a public relationship, etc.).
  4. Proof of past cohabitation, if you are not currently living together but did at one point in the past.

Question-related Point 1:
In our case, I and my wife are working, I am working here in Canada, and she is working in India and taking respective employer insurance benefits. Can we add a nominee to each other insurance and submit it as proof for Point 1. What is the suitable way?


Question-related Point 2:
As we both are working, we are not supporting financially now. Can we just open the joint account in India and make some transactions (like we deposit money in that account and she will do some spendings). Does it support Point 2, please clarify.

Question-related to Point 3:
To show the relationship proof, do we need to add the WhatsApp chat as proof or what things to take care of while taking screenshots. We gonna add the screenshots of Instagram/ Facebook posts as well, do we have to make single documents of all the screenshots. What is the best way, please suggest.

Thank you,
Can someone please clarify the above?
Thanks

Had the same questions in the past & these are what me & my partner presented.

1. I nominated my partner to be a beneficiary to my life insurance and submitted the signed "nomination form" as supporting document. My partner doesn't have an insurance so I had to produce this document by myself.

2. We live together and created a joint bank account 1-2 months before submitting our application. We used that bank account for payment of rent, utilities, groceries, food deliveries, etc. Not sure how applicable this is for you considering you don't live together.

3. For this we submitted the following:
- Letterˆ from his parents supporting our relationship/my PR application (he is a Canadian citizen)
- Letterˆ from my mum supporting our relationship & my migration to his country
- Letterˆ from my best friend supporting our relationship
- Screenshot of messages sent to our friends when we invited them for our housewarming
- Social media pictures (posted by him or myself) throughout the years showing a public display of relationship
- Pictures of us together with friends/family throughout the years. This included zoom pictures cause we were a pandemic couple haha
*Paper application so didn't have to worry about combining everything in one file.
ˆThere's online sources on suggested format, i recommend following those to make sure it's properly written.

Update: It was, in fact, the Pre-Arrival Services letter!

The rep just forwarded it to me a few minutes ago. :) Looks like good progress (and news) after all! :D
