It depends. Checks can be medical, biometrics, criminality/ police/ security etc. if you have already submitted these documents. Or it can simply refer to the process of reviewing your whole application.

Hey Celina, good luck with your application. Be as detailed as possible. If the national language in Belize is English, you do not have to provide certified true copies. My husband is Nigerian, and the official language there is English. I did not have to certify any documents. As for your...

I don't know if you are still working on this process but getting refused is a very big problem and can take a long time to overcome. If you haven't already, you will need to make an appeal. This should involve a lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, then I suggest that you find a way to live...

A simple overview of the process - if that helps anyone here: Total Time 8 - 12 months 1. Application submitted. 2. Sponsor confirmed as eligible to sponsor - can take 1 month approximately. 3. Request for documents - if not already submitted - police checks, medical records, biometrics etc...

Good Luck everyone! We applied last year, had an interview in February and an approval. Due to Covid, he's been delayed but should be here in a few weeks. Take Heart! Work hard and understand that Immigration is not your friend. They are your adversaries. They are not interested in helping...

Do not try to apply for a visitor's visa when married. If you try to obtain a visitor's visa as a girlfriend, fiancé or worse yet, a wife, you will get declined. The thing to remember is that the main criteria for any type of temporary visa is the requirement that the person will return to his...

My husband's passport with newly issued PR Visa is stuck inside either the Lagos Nigeria VAC or VFS. Does anyone know when either of these offices might reopen so he can pick up his passport? Any info on flights leaving Lagos for international destinations would be helpful too. Thank you.

That's very odd. Did your husband get approved as a sponsor? Normally you would get that first. Once that is approved, you will get an email saying so. Then you will hear no more until CIC wants something from you. When your file goes from Canada to the office representing your country, you will...

If you used a tracking number on the package, you can check online with the delivery service and they will show the package as received or not. You will not get an email saying that they have received your package. You will get an email eventually letting you know if the sponsor has been...

The sponsor receives approval as a sponsor. Then the applicant's application is considered.

If you are in Canada, you are applying for permanent residency via Family Class Sponsorship. You are NOT currently being sponsored - your application is in process so your application could be turned down. Therefore do not let your visitor's visa run out. You will be found in default of your...

Sorry but I'm not sure that's entirely correct. If you fail the initial application process, then you fail the appeal (usually for the same reasons) then it is likely you will fail the JR. Once you apply again, you are more likely to fail again unless you have addressed CIC issues with the...

Hey at least your MP did something. None the less I agree. The whole thing is bullshit. Thankfully you won the appeal. Sadly they can still reject your application on other ground EVEN THOUGH YOU WON THE APPEAL. Like health, security etc.

We were asked the following questions: 1. When did you first have sex? 2. What kind of birth control did you use on that occasion? 3. What kind of birth control do you use now? Why? 4. How much money do you the sponsor send your spouse? Why? Did you do this before you got married? 5. Who...

They will ask you about children, religion, sex, family, extended family, work, finances. There is no dignity there. Expect to be mocked, derided by the immigration lawyer for CID and also by the adjudicator who has no legal requirement to be impartial. Our hearing was one day, rushed and 3...

While it is best to hire a lawyer, you do not have to do that to file an appeal. However, you must be prepared to get all your proof together and represent yourself.

Expect a lot of really personal questions. Family and extended family questions. Religion, Sex, Finances. They will not spare you any dignity. Remember this is NOT an impartial hearing. The Adjudicator is hired by Immigration.

It can take up to one year to get a hearing. You will be contacted to file paperwork. Get yourself ready to be asked a lot of private private questions. Like about your sex life, your religion, your finances. You would do well to get a lawyer. It may cost much more than $4k. We paid $8k and lost...
