@ CharisseyB,

Does it mean the niece and nephews were included in the original application as dependents ?
Or adopted children ? Why will your sister-in-laws children be included in a family sponsorship application ?
Sorry to say, but it doesn't seem clear to me.

hey guys... hope everyone’s doing great... I am so sad, CIC is asking for additional documents for my husband as they are saying that my sister in law’s kids are his... I don’t understand how this happened when everything was indicated that they are the niece and nephews. sigh. I emailed them but they haven’t responded to me yet, what should I do?!

Hi everyone

Here's where I'm at:

We received your application for permanent residence on April 7, 2015.
We started processing your application on May 27, 2015.
Medical results have been received.

My status had now changed to "Decision Made". I was sent an email on September 25 asking me to update any information (address change, divorce, children, and to send "proof" that my husband (sponsor) does indeed reside currently in Canada and not the US). I responded the same day and received an automated response.

If this was the only correspondence I have received should I presume that I have been granted my PR?
Does anyone know what the timeline is from here? How long it will take to be contacted about the "Decision" and will I get it through mail/email etc?

It's only been 6 months since I sent in my application and I was told anywhere from 11-29 months!

Thanks!!!!!


Thats great. Congrats.

We were very pleased last night to get an email requesting that my husband's passport be sent to Ottawa for the issuing of a visa. Ecas still indicates that it is in process but we expect that to change to DM in the next couple of days! We applied April 2nd, and our application went through Ottawa. We are actually living in Ottawa at the moment, so we hope that it will be a quick turn around to get the visa in the passport. Any suggestions on where is the best place to flagpole once we get it?

So overjoyed that this process is coming to an end!!!

That’s the thing that I do not understand!They are not at all included in the application, they are not adopted at all! My sister in law and brother in law with the kids live all at the same place. I don’t understand where they got that at all!It’s such a major error and it is delaying my husband’s application. I am giving up, they don’t care about what it means to me and my husband, this is really affecting me. The stress is too much I feel like my marriage is not gonna work anymore.

Take it easy...the error will be corrected. They do care about your marriage..that's why they need to

make sure they have the accurate information. Just provide the documents they requested.

But the BIG Question still lingers.....Where did they get the names of the kids as you mentioned in your previous post ?

I applied from the US as outland and it was being processed in Ottawa.

thats really great for you.

Im applying from Ireland as Outland and my timeline is very similar to yours.

We received ______ application for permanent residence on April 10, 2015.
We started processing _______ application on May 27, 2015.


The only difference is that i only received that "extra info " email last week..

But I'm taking this a a good sign and something similar might happen to our application shortly

That's something you should be talking to your husband about. If your relationship is strong and you truly love each other this process won't put a dent in it. Just try to relax and make sure you correct them.

I received email today from CIC that they have updated the information in the system and that I don’t need to send them anything else. SO they have rectified the error already. Just waiting on the Decision made now...

My husband lives with his family in the family house... So we added all the names of the people he lives with, I think that’s where that confusion came about and that I am really close with the kids...as shown in the pictures, but then again, we indicated that they are nephews and niece so it was really confusing on our part... however, as I have said, they have updated it on the system so it should be fine now... and they said no documents are needed anymore so yeah, hopefully decision made is coming soon...

The interview was an awful experience. They really gave my husband a hard time. We left yesterday feel depressed and figuring we will have to still wait for the outcome.

The visa office called this morning!!! Told him bring your passport. We went right away and they gave him his visa in 30 mins. We are still shocked like it isn't real! We are heading to Canada on Monday.

I will give full details once we are back home.

Thank you for your prayers. God is good.

We had so many red flags but we just told the truth and love prevailed.

So it seems the request for additional documents is the last phase before decision made. This is distressing for me because we haven't received any correspondence from them. My health is deteriorating as it always does in the winter months and I need help, I cannot care for myself. My disability support program is willing to add my husband as a spouse as long as he has applied for PR (outland or inland does not matter) and is physically staying in Canada and help from any other source will cost too much for me to be able to afford so my husband is planning on moving here before PR has gone through to care for me. I know it's all legal but I can't help but be concerned they will deny him entry as he does not intend to return to the US until we receive his PR. What is worse is he will have to come to Canada to borrow my parents car for us to go back to the US and pick up his stuff, our pets and say goodbye to family and friends. Seeing as we have not received a request for additional information I can only assume that we are no where near the finish line even though his part went in process in mid to late August. Not sure the exact date as we were camping for several weeks during this time and it went in progress when we could not check on it. Any advice would be appreciated. I am just not sure if I tell the border everything or not, what do I say? Technically he is planning on coming back to the US but we don't have a date so if they ask and I say when we get his PR papers because we have to cross the border for them to take affect is that sufficient? Will they be mad? My disability support will be supporting both of us so if they are worried about finances they will be taken care of as soon as my hubby signs the papers with them which he has to be physically in Canada for. Do we just say he is coming for Christmas and not tell the whole truth? That then poses the problem of the animals which we will have to process as remaining in Canada regardless. Normally they just let him by no problem but with the animals they will have to send us to the side and I am worried about what I should do. I can be honest but it's not a straight forward situation and I am afraid that because it is so complicated that they will simply deny him out of it not being worth the hassle. Legally he can visit Canada for 6 months total in one year he is no where near that with maybe only 1 month in Canada in the last year but when PR has been applied for he can stay until the decision is made. So legally he can remain in the country just not work, which is fine because I will get enough on disability to scrape by, granted food banks will be visited but we don't really have another choice I need help and paying double rent for both of us leaves us with the same problems as we will have together. Sorry I am just so worried. Can they deny him for coming across the border to wait on his PR application? If that is a no then we can just be honest and the extenuating circumstances of my health don't even need to be mentioned. If anyone has any input please let me know.
