I have passed Interview over phone on 11 April, 2016, But I have n't received re-medical request e-mail yet. Visa officer told me that I will get re-medical request email in next 4 hours, but I have not received any re-medical email. 10 days passed. What should I do now ????? I have sent 4 emails to NDVO (case specific email).. but got no reply. no re-medical email. My wife is in India along with with me, and she will return to Canada next month. Can we do MP inquiry via e-mail (sending e-mail to Local MP Office e-mail) ????? Do they reply ??

Hi moga_PB29,

I would just like to ask you about your interview over the phone? They do interviews over the phone as well? Was yours a special case and in what circumstances would they do interviews over the phone? You processing center was NDVO and you are in India so why did they do a phone interview?

Rose, i think it's cuz my husband applied for student visa back in 2008 and it got rejected. so i think it's that. and we are same age i don't know if that's a red flag.

No it will not affect your application, she can stay as long she wants.

No it will not affect your application, she can stay as long she wants.

If his wife is a Canadian PR, it can have a very negative impact on the application. If the sponsor is a PR (and not a citizen) he/she must stay in Canada for the entire processing of the application otherwise CIC can refuse the application. Only short vacations for 2-3 weeks are ok.

May be you already know that his wife is a citizen.

This is not true, either you are PR or Citizen you can stay with your spouse out of Canada as long as you want, but you must live in Canada for at least two years in a five-year period to maintain your PR status. Actually I have two live example on this one. One my cousin who was only PR and lived with her husband for 4 months once she found out about his interview, she resigned her job and flew to India and her husband clear the interview now both are living in Canada. And second my friend who stayed only in Canada until his sponsorship approval came and then stayed with his wife in India as long as she did not get PR. I don't think so there is any hard and fast rule for this.

The rule is only Canadian citizens living outside Canada can sponsor their spouse. A PR sponsor must stay in Canada for the entire duration of the application.

The below statement is from the Sponsor guide
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp
In order to sponsor, you must…
live in Canada or provide evidence, if you are a Canadian citizen living outside of Canada, that you will live in Canada once the person you are sponsoring becomes a permanent resident.

Now whether the rule is followed 100%, thats the question. That will probably depend on if CIC comes to know that the sponsor is living outside Canada and on the visa officer looking on the file. The examples you mentioned were in Canada uptil SA and left after that. May be CIC didn't come to know about sponsor's travel or the visa officer was kind enough not to take action. That's why I mentioned CIC can refuse the application. There is a high risk. Btw, I too have a friend whose spouse's application was refused because he was not living in Canada.

But if the PR sponsor is not in Canada for months, the visa officer, by rule, can for sure cancel the application.

If you are not satisfied by my answer, you can start a thread to discuss with other members of the forum.

In Note 2 its written as " Docs on file and notes below reviewed . Sponsor info including employment letter reviewed . Interview to be scheduled " updated on nov 2015

Please can anyone tell me about is it serious issue ? will it take more than one year ?

Please make sure go with your guts feeling. I have seen many PR sponsor living with their spouse for long time . The wording on Sponsorship guide is not very clear. I think one should not take risk, Please confirm with immigration specialist regarding this. My guts says there is no harm in visiting as long as one has return ticket. Because I think live and visit both word have different meaning. But please don't go with my judgment, take a professional's advise. Also Vikram point could be right, visa officer could stuck on this point.

Completely agree with you. We both are basically saying the same thing. It’s not allowed to live outside Canada but it’s allowed to visit. The difference is how we define 'visit' and there is no hard and fast definition for that. So it is up to an individual how to interpret visit.
