PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY- Sponsoring my spouse ONLY- regarding covering letter

[vinjovi555]

Guys

Need your quick response. I would highly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I am an IT professional working for an MNC in India (I m a CANADIAN PR HOLDER) and came to Canada for a 2 years assignment as a Global Delivery Supplemental/Temporary employee.

My question: Do I need to write a covering letter to the visa officer stating the fact that I m employed here for 2 years and I would be looking ofr a permanent position in Canada or something like that later on? or not required?

I have mentioned about our plans of settling in Canada and make a living here (Buy a house, raise our kids here etc.) in the additional sheet in Sponsor questionnaire form. Is this sufficient or do I specifically need to write a covering letter mentioning about my plans of settling in Canada

I m worried because in the offer letter I have received, it states that my employment here in Canada is for 2 years.

Also, In the receipt (online payment of fees), I was asked to fill my information. What is CLIENT's ID THERE? is it the number which is stated on my PR card( ID NO)?

Please let me know soon so that I can send the application by today or tomorrow.

Thanks and look forward to hear from you soon

Best wishes

As a Canadian PR, you are required to be resident in Canada in order to be eligible to sponsor your spouse. You should also be able to demonstrate that you are capable of supporting your spouse once she immigrates, even though there is no minimum income requirement for spousal sponsorships.

I don't think it's a huge deal that your employment letter says that your job offering is a two year contract - it's only required that you prove that you are actually living and working in Canada during the sponsorship process.

Hope that answers your question(s).

ROBSLUV thanks for the reply

Just a small final question:

Do I need to write a general covering letter right at the top of my application? if yes, what should I mention in the CL?

Look to hear from you soon

Thanks and best wishes

It's not necessary to include a cover letter with your application. All of the information that they need should be contained in the application. I did actually include a cover letter because I wanted to draw their attention to some points, but it's totally not necessary.

I also don't think it's any cause for concern that your offer letter if for a 2 year position. You can always find another position once that one has ended. I don't think a visa officer would be concerned about this fact at all, so I wouldn't bother drawing their attention to something that they probably wouldn't be worried about in the first place.

Good luck.
