I hope it's ok if i take these in reverse haha.. Inland he did not go to the embassy in canada and I think that step is not necessary (or it wasn't for us apparently because IRCC never asked anything). For what I remember he only got 1 seal, or maybe 2. they told him to get three. I'd have...

You actually can now upload the forms. You don’t have to print them. So this issue is re-opened all over again…

Great but um… which forum?? Do you have a link please

How long is a normal amount of time for it to sit like this?

(spousal sponsorship) My fiancé entered Canada as a visitor, then the next month we got married. Two months later, we sent the sponsorship application package. Did the undertaking start during any of this time? They only recently got the eCoPR.

No, please add more bold and more convenience.

I don’t think so: in common parlance, people who have been living together commonly refer to their partner as husband/wife (in fact some legal documents even write it “common-law husband” or “common-law wife”). At any rate, I feel we are redirecting this thread…

Is the first sentence, “my brother is wanting to sponsor his wife,” relevant?

Which piece of information?

They are not mutually exclusive. It’s actually more likely in the 21st century that people live together before getting engaged. Literally no one wrote “fiancé visa” except you. What are you even talking about?

Have you received nothing back at all? Although we didn’t get the full AoR for six months after applying, we did still get a simple letter after about six weeks saying essentially that our “package was received”

You could contact your MP. They are almost always able to get details about your case even when you’re not able to (because IRCC operates behind a cloak).

That’s not true… they could have lived together before in which case they can apply as common-law couple.

Yes the wording would would seem to suggest the sponsored immigrant basically gets to kick up their heels and their sponsor becomes legally required to pay for all their stuff but interestingly the government also makes the sponsored person sign a document saying "I agree to do all that I can to...

no, that's incorrect that's also definitely incorrect No there isn't: for the umpteenth time, there is no financial requirement for spousal sponsorship (except in QC). It says so very plainly on the government's website. Don't know where all this nonsense is coming from...

What I was trying to say is that IRCC doesn’t like people on social assistance sponsoring their spouse and have even made it impossible for ppl on OW to sponsor a spouse. But the charter and/or our human rights code seems to prevent them from doing the same for a person “receiving social...

No, not at all. ?

If one adult works and earns between $200-300 per month, the ODSP cheque will only go up! So it’s in their financial interest to work, but if an adult makes $400+ per month, there will be a decrease on the ODSP cheque the month after. The decrease is not dollar for dollar so you’ll never end up...

IRCC expects and hopes OP will work. Sometimes they even speed up the processing of the sponsorship package because they hate a foreigner being on ODSP (as in, them living here without a work permit and it causing the sponsor’s welfare cheque to increase due to the benefit unit increasing in...

that is incorrect. While a household on ODSP often has one disabled person and the rest of the household is not disabled, they are still all on social assistance together. This is called the benefit unit. Furthermore, there are plenty of benefit units in which two adults are disabled (they get...
