Received an interview e-mail from an officer in Vancouver. We just have SA now, no AIP or DM. In the email, he asked us to bring last 2 CRA NOA, rental or home owner proof, utilities bills/joint account for last 12 months, family photo album.

We sent rental, utilities, joint account along with over 150 photos with our application. We also have two wedding ceremony and celebration in Vancouver !! Over 50 people attended !!! All the photo proofs have been sent!

Why we still need an interview !!! Our relationship is truly genuine for 100000%!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone applied inland got these kind of requests?? Please let me know !!!! I am so scared now !!!!!!

Can just be a spot check or "QA" interview. They do have random selections that have to interview... so, do as they ask, and don't worry about it...

whatever happened to traditional families where the husband pays all the utilities and bills? We don't have joint accounts and the husband pays all rent and bills. I think that is the norm for eastern european couples, it was for my parents I know that.


this whole process is going to take years off my life with all the stress and worrying about stuff like this, next thing you know they will ask how often we have sex?!?!!

4 times a week!

I owned our home before my wife moved in. Title and all bills in my name. Her cell added to my Telus bill. I explained it's not top of my mind to call every utility to try to have her added, with a nonexistent credit rating.

My parents had and still maintain separate chequing accounts. It's not that uncommon.

You worry too much.. AIP soon I bet..

thanks, I hope so, still waiting for SA first before AIP

hard not to worry when so much is at stake

I didn't add her to my cell, she is happy with her plan and never saw a reason to change. I pay all bills, I pay the rent, I buy all the food, etc.. she works and saves for future tuition and has her own bank accounts

We have separate accounts... she's an economist and likes to have the beans in separate piles.

It's really not that things are wrong here.. they want to establish there is a financial interdependence. Those are pieces that can help in that. But that doesn't mean you can't write a letter like I did and state clearly, I make 4x what she does... so OBVIOUSLY I'm paying the bills... sad as it is, you can rely on the wage inequality to prove your point.

Best to try not to overthink. Remember the forum is where desparate people (usually) go to get help. So of course you will read horror stories. You'll make it out, I am sure of it.

As to them asking about sex... heh... I just take the average and embellish. Then they can feel unlucky. I won't share that detail with them. And we close our curtains ;).

Dec 16 applicant here. I got my open work permit (OWP) in mail on April 3rd! Hurray! It was approved online on Mar 30th.
I had to seek my MP's assistance this time. When they checked, my file was on hold because of "not having valid status". The truth is I have a visitor record! Apparently whoever was processing my file did not realize what was at stake for the applicants, and just left my file on the side with a comment that didn't make sense. With my MP's involvement, they approved my application within 2 days.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I called CIC before seeking MP's help, and was told I need to wait for SA before my OWP can be approved. This is apparently BS as I haven't got SA yet.
I'm experiencing the same problem. I was wondering, how were you able to contact your MP?

Enter your postal code on the "Find a Member of Parliament.", then click on the name of your MP for the contact info.

Really new to this forum, so not sure if this is the appropriate place for my questions.
Applied for Inland Spousal Sponsorship in March 2017..CIC recieved the application March 27th, 2017. My husband and I both got the emails on April 7, 2017, with out application number as well as UCI numbers. I have linked my application to the online account. My Spouse's sponsorship status says "in progress". What's the next step from here? I cannot figure out when and how I will need to submit the background declaration form as in the checklist it said fill out and save for a later date when requested?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you.

You can write your questions in this topic:

As for your question - the next step is to wait for their emails and instructions.
