    So, we they received my sponsorship application for my wife February 8, 2021. The first we heard from them was May 27, 2021 when they finally acknowledge that they had received our application.

    Health insurance while waiting for Inland PR application

    Hey all, So I am applying for PR for my American wife. We moved to Canada (Ontario) ~ a year ago after living together in England for several years. Before we left England I purchased her Cigna Global health insurance - it covers both in-patient and out-patient (ie. trips to doctor etc.). It is...

    February 2021 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    Going on 7 months and all I have is the AOR with prospective application number. This is just ridiculous...and I assume it is not going to get any better now that they will be processing thousands of Afghan refugees.

    Have not received AOR - when to start worrying and what to do about it?

    Hey all, So I submitted my wife's inland PR application which was received Feb. 8th. We have heard nothing since then. According to the spreadsheet more than half of the Feb 2021 applicants have received AOR's, most of them with applications received after ours was. I have tried contacting them...

    Applied for Family Class - visitor visa running out

    We did apply both inland and for OWP. I logged into her account on the immigration website and followed the instructions on how to apply for an extension but I do not even get the option to apply for a visitor visa in her profile. All I get is "express entry" or "experience class"

    Applied for Family Class - visitor visa running out

    Hey all, Quick question. My American wife and I recently send in our application for family-class PR but at the end of next month she will have been here for 6 months. I was told that because we have applied for PR we do not need to extend her 6-month visitor visa? This strikes me as odd...is...

    Fingerprints for FBI record check in UK

    I would put the table after the checklist...the rest sounds good. We are having a hell of a time doing the fingerprints. We have tried 3 different inks but they are just too wet. Cannot get a good quality fingerprint because they come out blotchy. I'm trying to find a "dry" ink pad - like the...

    Fingerprints for FBI record check in UK

    Seriously, I would not over think this. Provide what they ask but don't go overboard. One thing that may help you, that I have seen others do, is to organize the application with a sort of table of contents so it is easy for the reviewer to assess your file. I suggest that the easier you make it...

    Fingerprints for FBI record check in UK

    Hello, I have not looked at the documents in a few weeks so I am not sure exactly where I saw this. I did find on form IMM5533e (Document Checklist) Section 7, subsections A-E... By my understand, 7(e) says that you only need to send photographs, a maximum of 20, if you do not answer "yes" to...

    Fingerprints for FBI record check in UK

    We have not submitted yet, but we are not planning on providing that many supporting documents or pictures. Because she is American, and we are married, the burden of proof is not tremendously high. I think all they want is her birth certificate, our marriage certificate, and a few things like...

    Who do you contact about this? My American wife and I are currently in the UK for my studies. We were planning to return late in the year but with Covid we decided to come back in August. But because of the current COVID issue we cannot even apply for PR because I cannot get the American...

    Spousal sponsorship: inland, outland and work permit.

    So basically we have two choices. 1) we can apply outland and hope she gets it not too long after we leave the UK so she can work, 2) wait to apply until we get to Canada then wait 4 months for the work permit to be completed. And this is all in the hopes that COVID create massive backlogs. Is...
