Hi everyone, My husband (who I am sponsoring) just received a very strange request from IRCC, apparently in response to an enquiry we submitted several months ago. This is what they sent him: Below, they quote the enquiry to which they are replying, which was something we submitted two...

Thank you for all the replies. I am a little bit horrified now, because I think we misunderstood what we were signing up for by applying inland. I didn't realize that he wouldn't be able to leave the country at all while this application is being processed. I"ll have to do more reading on this...

Thank you for this. He occasionally does contract work in the US. I didn't realize this could be a problem. He has no permanent address in the US and we sold our property before moving. We did apply for an OWP together with PR, but it was very recent and we're not expecting anything anytime...

You're right, he does have a visitor record. The way they explained it at the border, sounded like it was basically a visitor visa, though I don't remember all the details right now. They didn't mention anything about not being able to leave the country though, and we were very clear that we...

Hi everyone, My husband was issued a visitor visa when we crossed the border in August stating our intent to establish residency in Canada. I'm a Canadian citizen. We had a few hiccups getting necessary paperwork for his PR application, and only just sent in the packet last week. We have a...

Thank you!

H everyone, I'm applying to sponsor my husband and am not sure where to find the answers to question 7 on form 1344e. I'm a naturalized Canadian citizen, but the date that I have on my citizenship card shows month and year only, while the form asks for the day as well. My parents don't know the...

Thank you all for confirming. I was thinking the same. No, he only has a scan here, but we have friends who should be able to find it and FedEx it. The Russian Embassy is generally not very helpful with these matters, and flying there right now would be a very unwelcome expense. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! Getting ready to file as a sponsor for my husband. We are both currently living in Gatineau, QC. He is a US citizen with a 6-month visitor visa. I still have three questions about the application: 1. My husband was previously married (in Russia) and divorced (also in Russia)...

Thank you so much for your reply! I didn't realize I never actually clicked "post" on this - apologies! Now I actually have a few more follow-up questions since we're getting ready to file everything, but I'll post in a separate thread. Many thanks again!

Hi all! I posted several months ago with some questions concerning sponsoring my American husband, the answers to which were very helpful. Hoping to get some more insight now, as our situation has evolved. I've moved back to Canada (i.e. declared that I'm returning as a resident, etc.) and my...

Thank you. I've started filling out the sponsor application, and am a little stumped by the question which asks if I currently reside in Canada and in no other country. Seems that answering "yes" is preferable, though the form also states that I may be eligible to sponsor even if I answer "no"...

This summer. I am planning to take most of our things this month. Ideally, husband would come in late July...

I see. Thank you for all that info. If we submit the application from outland, does he have to wait to hear back before he can cross the border? Would he be allowed to cross as a visitor even if he has an application submitted? We were hoping for him to come to Canada sometime in July, probably...

Hi! My husband and I will be moving to Canada, and I was hoping to receive some advice. I read on the official immigration website that if an application for immigration is submitted once the person is already physically in Canada, that they are eligible to apply for and receive a work permit...

Thanks, will repost there!
