BG is first stage eligibility... True story ;)
A very wise man taught me to refer to an IP-8 manual when unsure about something...

Page 53:
13 Initial stage of approval
If the applicant meets the eligibility requirements (i.e., criteria in R124, taking into account the provisions of the spousal policy), the CPC-M may approve the application pending the outcome of admissibility checks (i.e., medical, security and background).

That wise man might know that they need to finish BG checks to validate the relation and their family too. Right?

BG is a necessary sub-process for stage 1.

Who? Me? Probably.

If you're just waiting for a final review, it could even be as early as tomorrow morning... If you're waiting on security to be finalized.. can take a little more time...but not too long, I would suspect..

What else can sponsor use for proof of address apart from drivers licence during landing interview cos my sponsor drivers licence is a different address cos he is using his very old address.

I'd be careful, because that is often technically illegal not to have an updated address on your drivers license, maybe he should get it updated

hey guys,

does anybody know why ECAS is not showing more details than just "We received your application blah blah blah" (applicant). Sponsor side has more info, "We started processing your app blah"

We have received DM for sponsor, AIP, medical request (done a month ago, submitted proof as well, just in case).

We haven't heard anything since we submitted medicals, except a reply to our GCMS notes requested last year in October.

Hey guys!
Quick question we just got an email response after I informed them that our baby was born that if he will be part of the application to do a whole new form which we don't need because he was born in Canada, also they said that if he was born in Canada then we do an add on request??? Has anyone heard of this or what I am required to do?
We already received AIP and SA right now they are working on background check.

If you are in Ontario, it's illegal to not update any form of identification issued by any Ontario government agency. In fact, you have a week to do so. Each infraction carries a fine, and/or other action. I have reason to believe this is a universal rule.

Since your sponsor is legally bound to update their address, he might as well update it. They will give you something immediately to show the new address.

Principal Applicant side will only end up with 3 lines typically (more if they request more info). They received the application, medical received, and when you land, where you entered Canada.

Hi guys,

I would like to seek advice from all the senior folks here. I am a PR and getting married in december this year and think about the fastest way of bringing my wife here.

I was thinking i will ask my wife to apply for a visitor visa along with her family in octobor begining. She and her family has past travel history to few countries, so o am assuming she should be fine on that. My question is, if she gets a visitor visa say in Nov and we get married in dec and we apply for her PR in dec, will her visitor visa be still be valid. If she gets visitor visa, shall we apply from india or after she comes to canada?

Another plan is she alone will apply for visitor visa in october disclosing that she wants to visit her boyfriend. Then is she gets it in Nov, we will get married in dec and apply for PR in dec. We can come back together.

Or shall she apply for visitor visa now disclosing that we want to get married. Then we do civil marry here the next month and apply for her PR and she goes back. Then we marry in dec and hopefully she will get her PR by feb march next year.

If there is any other rejection proof way please share.

Blessings and good luck to everybody.

Regards
