Just as the topic asks - does this work? I thought it fell under the umbrella of implied status or however that is phrased. Thanks!

Hey there - My wife landed in August, and she received a notice in September telling her to submit new photos. We submitted new photos, and haven't heard a word back since. Is there a place that we can check on the process of this? My wife tried calling IRCC and they gave her attitude because of...

Hey all - we tried calling IRCC about this, but they gave us grief about how the phone lines were for refugees nowadays and that we just had to be patient. My wife sent updated passport pictures back on September 22nd when she received an email request from IRCC after landing. We haven't seen...

Hey there - my wife received notice that her PR card can’t be issued because her photos aren’t to specification. We are getting new photos ASAP, but I was wondering, do we have to snail-mail the photos in, or can they be sent via courier? Let me know. Thanks!

I'm asking because I had to get all sorts of vaccinations when I immigrated to the United States. Does my spouse need to get any vaccinations before arriving with her COPR? The health exam didn't seem to mention anything of the sorts. Let me know. Thanks! edit - I should clarify - I’m talking...

Hey all - for starters, my wife has her COPR! I’m getting her in about two weeks. I (the sponsor) moved into our new, permanent address in Canada (where she will land). In order to update my address with IRCC, do I have to use the New York Visa Office webform specifically? That was the visa...

Just as the title suggests. I (the sponsor)moved back to Canada before my wife (who is the applicant) and I was preparing to submit my proof of the move to IRCC to show proof of intent to return to Canada. In the meantime, my wife got approval and COPR. Should I bother updating my address as a...

Hey there - my wife received her passport request. I have a few questions - 1. Are the photo requirements as strict as they are when you initially send out the application? I ask because she is in the U.S.A., and trying to get a passport that fits Canada's specifications was surprisingly...

Hey there - I'm the sponsor in an outland spousal sponsorship. I was living in the U.S.A. when I submitted my application, and have now moved back to Canada. I'm not quite yet at my ultimate permanent address, as I just got here. When/how should I go about updating IRCC with my new address and...

Hey all - I was wondering something - I'm returning to Canada shortly (I am the Canadian sponsor in my wife's application process) - I don't have room to take very much. Am I able to import the stuff that I'm taking now, and then have my wife import the items that we will bring when she...

Hey there - I was reading through the medical exam records, and found this - IMPORTANT: If you have a previous or existing medical condition, bring any medical reports, test results or prescriptions that you may have with you to your appointment. This may help reduce the time it takes for your...

Hello, My wife's medical exam is on Friday, and I was wondering what she should be prepared for? My understanding is that we need to bring the form that IRCC emailed to us, and my wife's passport, and aside from that, we don't really need much. That being said, what do they do? Do they ask...

Just as the title asks. Can you fudge your application or get into trouble if you use a phone app to call IRCC from out of the country? I hear that they will sometimes grill you about your location, and I want to be prepared. Also, what info should I prepared to provide if I’m calling about a...

Hey there - I'm sponsoring my wife who is from the United States. When I originally paid my fees, the tool that I used to determine whether or not we had to pay for biometrics said that we would have to pay for biometrics if my wife was applying for permanent residence. I checked it now, and it...

Hey there - when it comes to actually paying for your application, do you just submit the payment online and include your receipt with your application in the order it appears on the checklist? Is there anything else needed?

Hey there - when my wife got her permanent resident photos for the sponsorship application, the studio only put her first and last name on the back of the photos - no middle name. Everything else on the photos is perfect (date of birth, date of picture, name/address of studio, etc.) Will this...

Hello, My wife and I are getting hung up on what she should put for "intended occupation" on the generic application form. We originally put "unknown," as we aren't really sure of what she will do, but one of the threads here advised putting SOMEthing, so we put "Case Manager," as she's...

Hey - something kind of jumped up in my mind with the schedule A Background declaration - my wife, the applicant, visited me in Canada quite a few times, sometimes for a month or two (longest was four months) at a time. She was a visitor each time, and didn't have any immigration status, and her...

Hey there - I've asked a bit about this situation before, but wanted a bit more clarify - My wife's doesn't have a father listed on her birth certificate, but the people on this forum advised that we should probably list as many details as we have about her biological father. She has been...

my wife and I had friends and family type up letters for us, and sign them, but they are scanned/printed. Is that okay?
