****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

[Aleen]

I was planning for GCMS notes. But seems like that will be a waste of time.
This is really frustrating!!!!!
Some files are moving with lightning speed and some unlucky like us waiting n waiting with lots of frustration.
This is simply not acceptable but we are so helpless to do anything except waiting :-(

It takes 30 days to receive the notes, after that wait when I saw nothing happened since August this was frustrating. It's been 10 months!

Sydney AUS. was 1 of the fastest V.Office in the world before they equalized processing times for all countries. In your case more time is taken by Missi... Now it depends what they have to check and remarks went with the file. Eventually file had to be sent to Applicant's country. So it could be v good sign as well.

I still don't understand why the file went to Mississauga, I saw other people got approval from Mississauga and never went ro local vo!
I submitted to Mississauga in the beginning, the day I mailed my application they changed the address to Sydney Nova Scotia, so my file was transferred from Mississauga to Sydney NS, Sydney NS to Mississauga , then Mississauga to Sydney Australia, like literally all that happened is file transferred, from one agent to another, with no notes no updates,

There is an operational Bulletin OBO tat if some file is very simple clear ; it will be dealt with rt here in Canada. Many got Visa from Mississauga within 6 total months. May do your own search

I heard that, and my file is simple, all fees paid, for my case when it went to Missi I got happy, but apparently the file was sitting there from Aug to Jan (as per gcms notes) and eventually went to local vo, they haven't started reviewing eligibility yet, so what was the point of Mississauga that's what I'm wondering, if simple files go to Missi, my applicationShould have been approved by now, the gcms frustrated me more

U R right however even after reaching MISSI>>> file is reviewed by a V/officer. And he may decide to finalize here or further send to VO for minor clarifications.. OK Take care

ANYONE IN THE SAME BOAT???
OR ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks//

I am in the same boat. I called today. They all tell me, and my MP to keep waiting. It's a 12 month process minimum.
My online tool reads the exact same. It has been 1 month since medicals passed and no transfer to the visa office.
My app is still sitting in Sydney. Don't be worried about 0 communication. They might not communicate for another couple months even.

Where is your application being transferred to? Ours is going to Mexico City VO and the average time it takes to transfer there is something like 5 months. Then it's MORE waiting until they actually get around to it. I see MANY who applied after us getting PPR already so it can be really discouraging but you are not alone.

 

[dorkismalorkis]

Hey Y'all.

Can anyone give me a list of documents required for spousal sponsorship application? Like not the forms, but the actual documents required from your spouse.

We are applying from India. I am PR in Canada currently and she is in India.
For proof of relationship, What do you need apart from marriage certificate?

So many things! Some are listed on the website. You should do some additional homework for sure.
Please read up on everything before you consider submitting. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/non-economic-classes/family-class-determining-spouse/assessing-relationship.html

We can only offer advice based on our own experiences.
IMO, and from our experience you should include at least:

-copies of shared banking info, rental agreements, co-ownerships or joint purchases, bills and invoices with both of your information or shared expenses etc,

-copies of financial support between you two. (Money transfers, bank transfers, joint accounts)

-Up to 10 pages of messages or emails between you two translated (certified)

-letters of recommendation/reference from professionals, friends, family, etc. I had 4 or 5 high ranking professionals write us letters attesting to the validity of our marriage. Including a letter from my own parents, a lawyer, an investment banker, and a former government official. Letters written must be in English or French. We included a letter from references who knew us both for SEVERAL years and who were comfortable corroborating our relationship story. In their letters they should say how they know you and why they support you as a couple. They should also give their address and contact information in the letter as your reference.

-up to 20 photos of you two from all different times in your relationship, including of the wedding, after the wedding, in different hairstyles and clothing to demonstrate the evolution of your relationship through time. The photos should encompass different dates/times, remember to label all photos on the back including who is in the photos with birthdate and approximate date and location each photo was taken.

-Screenshots of your Facebook accounts showing you are married if applicable
-Travel history between you two, including all pages of both your passports, + all relevant national identity documents for you both.

-Other things that prove your relationship is real. IE/ a small handful of actual time/date stamps on photos etc or undeniable proof of a timeline showing the history of your relationship. Phone calls between you showing time/date stamps of the call.

You may also wish to write a one page letter from yourself detailing the history of your relationship, where/how you met etc.


You do not need to go overboard with photos/messages/chat logs if you are providing a good timeline, and many different situations of you two together - different dates etc. Before, during, after wedding etc. Remember to label photos with who is in each photo with their birthdate, along with date photo was taken approximately and location it was taken. (Can be written on back of photos)
