Spouses of Canadians to get permanent residency immediately: McCallum

Currently, sponsored spouses of Canadians receive conditional permanent residency upon arrival in Canada and have to wait for two years to obtain permanent-resident status. Immigration Minister John McCallum says that's about to change.

I don't know if this is necessarily a good thing. Would it mean that the powers that be will have to scrutinize each application that much more closely and reject on even a suspicion of an non-genuine relationship? Some of the "red flags" that they consider to be indicators of a fraudulent marriage are just ridiculous.

With the two-year probationary period in place, I wonder why there would even be a need for so many refusals - it'd be much kinder to the families to let them re-unite, with a surprise inspection sometime over the two year period, followed by an interview at the end of the two years.
 
The system being followed by IRCC for immigration under spousal sponsorship program stinks. There is no objectivity. Who cares if spouse gets PR immediately or after 5 years as long as families are allowed to reunite!

No the minister counsel was doubting on every single thing and thought it's not genuine but judge was okay he asked few question to my husband and my hubby replied in very Gud way and right answers but I don't know how he z gonna give his decision the on d base question he asked or the minister counsel asked. How long did it take for u to get reply from them. Plz share. The judge and minister counsel was only questioned how come my hubby apply for the student visa right after v met online within 20 days it's not possible to get it done so quickly and they think may b he z only want to get in Canada. But over all the cross examination was okay. My lawyer said our case is strong but still m worried.


if the judge showed interest then you are gud. Same in my case the minister counsel was doubting me on every step but judge was really good
i got my result in 35 days.

Guys help me out I got message from Ottawa and they said

Your file is in the final stages of processing. Your medical expires on November 11, 2016. We just want to ensure that you can land by that date before we issue a ready for visa letter. If this date is too soon it will be necessary to issue new meds.



im really nervous if I get re meds done I don't know why long process

Congratulations, loveawaits! A good many of us on this particular forum wish we had this problem, because it means the nightmare is almost over!

It depends on your individual circumstances. Do you think you'll be able to land before the expiry date? Or you can just get your meds redone now, just in case - to prevent future delays, and it buys you another year of time to settle your affairs.

When we did our meds, which have long expired, they gave us a copy of the results. But it took perhaps a month before our status showed meds received, in which case you have lots of time. It probably varies from country to country. How long did it take for your original meds to show up on your status?
