Hey guys!

Any Canadian's filing their taxes, do you still claim your spouse as a dependant if they do not live in Canada yet?

nope,,I asked the same questions to my accountant, he said person have to have sin number and physically present in canada.

You'll still probably want to file married-separate, instead of jointly.

I am new here. Can somebody help me. I got a letter on 8th march 2017 to submit my background check form. I linked my application on Monday 13th March but still can not see the message to upload the form. How can I upload background check form?

Click on the linked application. At the bottom of the page, click the blue 'view submitted application' button. The background check should be listed with an upload button beside it.

Yup - That is what the CRA rep also suggested!

hi there, my package was received on Jan 24 but I heard nothing until now, I just called CIC and they were able to give me my Application Number, and then I immediately received an email asking me to link my account, does it mean that my application is being processed? I tried to use Application Number + Last Name to link but can't find any record, I am applying for my wife so the Last Name should be my last time, right? I actually tried both but still nothing found. And The applicant details is definitely about my wife I believe.

Tried 5 times and it's locked for 24 hours...anyone have linkage problem?

Ops I gave you the wrong steps....I actually tried to cup and past the info from another link......I also had similar problems linking my application. What I did was I read through past forums and tried different combinations until it worked....for me when I didn't put in the city of birth it worked.

Regarding the filing of taxes, I file mine online with Tax Chopper and there is a box to click if your spouse doesn't reside in Canada. The only problem I had was with GST and Trillium the first year. I had to write a letter stating that my husband lives in the US, but aside from that everything has been fine.

Hey Guys,
I need some questions answered please if someone can help. I am a Permanent Resident of Canada and my wife is in India. I am applying to sponsor her to live with me here in Canada. I sent my file to CIC in Mississauga on February 7th. And they sent it back to me yesterday stating that its not complete. They Highlighted the "Employment/Source of Support" section on the Checklist that i attached. Indicating that I did not provide it. But I did attach the Letter from my Employer stating everything they asked in the Checklist. I did attach 2015 Notice of Assessment as well. I did not have the letter that i received from CRA so i printed it off from the CRA My Account. Could that be it, did they need the original Notice of Assessment that comes in the Physical Mail? I don't have it so can i attach the copy of my Tax Return that i filed this year with T4? and I should be able to use the same forms, right? so that my wife don't have to send them to me again with her signatures.

I am gonna re-submit my file sometime next week. So, if anyone can help me, i will greatly Appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi Shajnemb,
I am going through same phase as you. No Aor1. My ECA page says Application received on 27th Feb and I got SA email on 16th March. Can you let me know what if they don't ask PCC or medical as I didn't submit them upfront with new package? I am worried what next?

i did not send the original of assessment. I printed the notice of assessment from the last year from the website. Also, there is a section on the website called "option C"; you have to print it as well. I included T4 slips although it was not required. I also included paystubs for the last year and bank statement. And more importantly, original signed letter from your work stating salary, no. of hours, job title, and starting date at your work. I thought including these supporting docs would not hurt. My application is now in process.

one more thing, is your income above the minimum?

good luck

Hi Guys,

I have a good news to share with you. Today I got SA mail from CPC-Mississauga. Actually it's a great relief from long waiting period which had started from the delivery of the package by Canada Post making long delaying. My application was received by CPC on 31st Jan.They started processing on 17th Feb. They asked for doc request also. And Finally today I have got my desired SA.

Anybody has idea, how long does it take nowadays to the Singapore visa Office for processing rest of the application? TIA.

Congratulations of receiving your SA. CIC Mississauga received our application on the same date Jan 31, but very different timeline. All the best to us.
