It doens't matter. My husband (sponsor) is full bilingual but prefers to fill application in French. I don't speck French yet so I filled in English. There was no more or less processing times because of languages issues. CIC is full bilingual.

I paid all the fees when I sent my application to CPC Vegreville. I am not the one that waited for a long time to landing in Mtl Office. If I am not wrong, the user MaxLet waited for a long time too to land in Montreal. Good luck to all of you!

I had to wait for 83 days to landing in Montreal since my DM.

I'm glad to help you! Feel free if you have any question.

You're welcome :) I live in Quebec so I used an accredited translator services in French. But I am sure you can find some good translator at Association of Translator in your province. Good luck!

The brazilian applicant (sponsored person) will print those police certificates, you get it at Policia Federal website. I did that living in Canada already. Once being in Canada, she can use some canadian translator if she wants or if she prefers, a brazilian one. Just have to follow the rules...

p.s: you have to send the originals certificates and translations to CIC.

You get them at Policia Federal website and Secretaria de Segurança Publica of the state that you live in Brazil. Here is the link to access Policia Federal website. http://www.dpf.gov.br/servicos/antecedentes-criminais

Landing in Montreal Hi there! Today finally I landed in Montreal. My appointment was at CIC - Montreal at Saint- Antoine Street e was pretty smooth and easy. The agent that interwied us was very kind and just asked 2 things: -If I had any criminal record in or out Canada -If I had any dependent...

You can get married with tourist visa. When your visa expires or you apply for extension or not. You dont need status to wait for you process to be complet. But, if you don't have any status as tourist or student, you can not study anything while you are waiting for and without a work visa...

Congrats SaskiaL!!! Finally this journey is close to the end!

Thank you sunshinemrc for the info and Kafka for the good humour :)

Shanbrazil and Jbaia I'm brazilian too in the end of sponsorship process ( finally!) Let me know if I can help you guys with some info. Good luck in your process! Boa sorte!!! :)

It can sound very weird question but I was thinking about that. What can happen with sponsored person if the sponsor dies (toc toc toc)? The sponsored people have to come back to its country? The sponsorship is cancelled? And if the sponsored person has bills to pay, job, studies, what will happen?

No there is no problem. But don't forget even with religious and civil marriage, you have to send proves to CIC about the legitimacy of your relationship.

Finally landing letter has arrived!!! Landing in Montreal, June, 18. Yupiiiii Guri, if you see this post can you update timeline please :)
