Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[RAConop]

Did you try calling them to get help linking it?

Yup. I did, but they just sent me an email containing information on how to link application in general, if it happens to be a very helpful agent, will they help me to actually link it over the phone?

Try finding it by passport number... unless you have a consultant or lawyer?

OWP is 4 months from October 13. So February 13 2017 or so...

My friends, I need a little help over here please.

I just want to ask how should I answer this question:

"Have you visited your sponsor during the period of your relationship?"

Should I answer 'yes' because I have made several visits to him while we were both in our home country? We live in the same province.

Should I answer 'no' because I have not visited him yet in Canada?

Thanks for the help!!

If you visited him, then yes. Doesn't matter where in the world it was. You can explain on a separate sheet and attach it. Make sure form number and question number are clearly stated.

Thanks, Profiler! That's the only question I've been worrying about. Thank you for shedding some light.

Sure thing. Look at it this way: does it say in Canada any where in the question?

It's so complicated these forms for me it's good we have someone to do it

We paid $300 for a consultation. They told us that inland was brought in for cases like ours and I'd be a glowing example of a sponsor. I asked the questions we had, got specific answers, and we filled out and filed ourselves.

She's got her OWP, she's on the way to a PR, and only one document request (so far..we hope that's the only!).

It's not terrible, but daunting.

She's Russian. I doubt most of us following this thread are going to get approved long before 22 months. We're 6 into the process now.

OK profiler is it a visa exempt country, they actally started working on our stuff in Jan 15 2016 so far 9.5 months we sent our stuff in Dec 8 2015 but they started processing in Jan 15 2016 so 9.5 months.

No Russia is a visa-requiring country.

We are lucky Portugal is visa exempt so we need COPR
