Hey Karan,
Can you help me with my below doubts? I would really appreciate your help.
Hi Guys,
I'm met my wife on shaadi.com in April'14 and from there we started chatting on whatsapp and used to do Skype every Saturday and Sunday for 6 hrs each. She is from Ahmedabad.
Now I visited her 24 Nov 2014 to 28 Nov' 2014 and we got legally married on 8Dec 2014 with a small function with just family members(pics of all marriage available).
I wanted to know how to start the whole process.
From what I read on cic website:
Step One:
The Canadian citizen or permanent resident applies to sponsor the spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner.
Step Two:
The spouse, common-law or conjugal partner applies for permanent residence.
Can someone please elaborate Step 1 and 2 in minute detail. Any help would be highly appreciated.
I'm highly confused with the whole process. Thanks in advance Smiley
Bro you need to submit one application here in Mississauga including your sponsorship forms and documents and applicants forms and documents. CIC will review your sponsorship here and once you are approved (it takes around 2 months) your file will be transferred to the location of your applicant (New Delhi). then NDVO will review applicants case for PR (around 4-6 months here) so total around 8 months if case is straight forward.
I'll give you checklist which I followed to submit my application. just follow this and I think you'll be good.
