I didn't get a hold of this forum until after I sent it in and I noticed the new checklist required all communication to require translations which I didn't do. So I assumed I'd be getting it back.
I also sent in the new checklist but missed the part about the translations. I was worried it would be sent back but they accepted it. Fingers crossed your application gets accepted.

I heard even after aor they can still return the application back if it’s not completed is that true ?

Hey everyone! I had a question. Would really appreciate of someone can share their experience/opinion.

Has anyone applied for a visit visa for their spouse after sending the spousal application?

1. If the visit visa gets rejected, will i.t affect the spousal application?

2. I have talked to ppl who have gotten a visa successfully. It's a hit or miss but definitely worth a try.

3. My wife is studying in our home country and Is in the middle of her MBA She has a strong reason to go back. In my letter, I am writing that we want to do our honeymoon in Canada this summer because we didn't get time for it as she had exams during the week I was there for marriage.

Do you think this is a strong case? Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

My understanding from what I've read on this forum is that a rejected visitor visa will not impact the spousal application if you've already submitted it. But I've also read that it's very likely it will get rejected if you already have the sponsorship processing (because of their concern that you'll overstay the visa). As with anything visa related, it's ultimately at the discretion of the visa officer who reviews your case, and I feel it's hard to tell you how likely it is that your wife's visa will be approved. I think that there's no harm in trying to apply, but perhaps someone else with more experience in this (my husband is from a visa-exempt country so have never had to do this) can weigh in and give you their experience!

Every time I log in ECAs account its showing in process. In the online account it states the eligibility in process and background check in progress. Is this a default message or they are doing background check of both of us...

1. No

2. There are more often rejected than not in these cases.

3. Will be up to the officer, be pleasantly surprised if approved.

Hi everyone! I received my letter with our UCI and File # on April 14/19 but am still not able to link to my online account - I keep getting a message saying it can't locate the application. I have tried a number of options to provide the necessary info to locate the application and link it to my profile, but still no luck. Has anyone else had trouble linking their application? Does it typically take a few days after receiving the UCI and File number before their system can locate our application or should it be available to link right away? Thanks! :)

I have had the same issue but only with sponsor information on ECAS, GCKEY may take a bit to catch up.

If you haven't logged into ECAS try the application number PA last name, DOB and birth place, you can also try UCI sponsor last name, dob, and birthplace (thats the one I have trouble with PA works fine)

Here's a guide if you're having trouble: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-link-an-application-to-cic-account-step-by-step-instruction.619724/

Helped us out, the thing that threw us (and I think a lot of people) is that you need to input that there are 2 people on your application!

I was finally able to use my (sponsor) details to log into ECAS... I had been inputting my country of birth as England, since that matches what I put in my application. It wasn't working, so I tried a few things. Finally tried changing my country of birth to "UK - British subject" and it worked! It's weird because my husband's details worked just fine with "England" as the country of birth. Anyway, in case anyone else is having trouble with ECAS, looks like you might just have to try a few different combinations.
