Okay, so if she has a return flight booked to leave the country, it should be fine? I don't understand why they immediately assume you're going to commit a serious offence simply because you bring a lot of stuff with you

It is some random stuff, like gaming consoles and a record player. I can see them wondering why we're bringing it all, but in all seriousness it is just because she has nowhere else to leave it and I can't see why she'd have to pay for storage over her husband's house for free..

Thanks for responding so quick! My wife and I had a laugh. Our funds have been shared for the last 6 years, so all of the things she's bringing are technically also mine..I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. So we'll just have to pay a duty on it I suppose..

Hi, my wife and I are planning to drive up from the states and enter Canada at a land crossing. My wife is US citizen currently waiting on PR decision(possibly soon because she just received the instructions to send her photos and passport photocopy to immigration). She's entering as a...

Thank you for this information!!

Hi everyone, My wife(US citizen) is coming to Canada as a visitor and I have some questions about what she would like to bring into Canada at this time. We are driving her car up from Texas in July, and she needs to bring her two dogs and a bird so that they can stay at our house here in...

Hi, My wife(principal applicant) just received her request for biometrics, she is in the US and getting them next week. Can anyone weigh in on how long after biometrics are taken and received by the Canadian government an applicant can expect to receive permanent residence? Sorry if this is a...

We did it once to extend my wife's stay as a visitor, you have to apply for a visitor record and I think they allow an extension of up to 6 months at a time unless I'm mistaken

I was able to use the application number with the online tool and see that our sponsorship application began processing on April 5th 2022, so hopefully we can get a response soon! Thank you for the help today to be able to find that information!

Okay thank you for this, I will try this!

Thanks you for all this information!

Oh I see, I believe I sent it on January 12, 2022

I believe so, I received an email stating that our application has been received on 01/24/2022, but I received that email just this month on April 6, it has an application number. Is this an AOR? Is there any way to estimate how long it may take using this information?

Thank you for this! I will look into the vehicle issue..

Oh that's awesome! So does that mean it could be much sooner than 20 months? This would be a deciding factor in us postponing our plans until we receive a decision on our application..

Thank you for this. This is kind of what I had felt, and we have somewhere to keep her things until we receive a decision on our application. I guess my only worry then is that we are bringing her vehicle and her dogs, which have to come here as her parents won't keep them while she is in...

Hi, my wife and I sent our application in about 4 months ago and just got confirmation that it has been received, and we noticed that the processing time has increased to 20 months. We are currently separated, I(Canadian citizen) am in Canada and my wife(American citizen and principal applicant)...

Awesome, thank you for this information!

Hi, we sent our spousal sponsorship package almost 3 months ago, and haven't received any mail back, is that a normal amount of time to hear nothing? One other question, do we have to wait until the government sends us mail with a case number in order to be able to order the GCMS notes...

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can tell us how soon after sending our application we can order GCMS notes? I read something about receiving a file number from the government, do we have to wait until we get that? Thanks in advance
