Spousal sponsorship

[alb01]

It should be instantaneous, since everything is scanned by CIC when the application is initially received.

oh really?? I thought CIC mailed them to the VO thats why I asked. thats great

Well, that's why I said `should', because I'm not 100% certain for an Outland application.

Since the initial receipt/coding is the same for Outland/Inland, it would make sense that the electronic file would be instantly accessible by the foreign VO, but...

Two weeks is ok, you are permitted short trips while still maintaining common-law status.

The general consensus is, a trip of up to a few weeks is acceptable. If it's over a month, you are going to need a very good reason for leaving without your spouse.

To clarify, once a couple has established common-law status, they can be apart for however long they need to be provided they are able to prove that the relationship is continuing.

There have been many couples who became common-law here in Canada and then the foreign spouse returned to their country while the app processed. There was one couple who lived apart for 3 years after becoming common-law; they had an interview because it was such a long time but were approved without issue when they showed proof of the ongoing relationship.

The person that Aquakitty was replying to [willyblue] will likely have Condition: 51, so the rules are different regarding extended periods apart.

Yea good point, I was reading it as if they were still acquiring common-law status. So that's the case until the partner lands at any rate.

If you don't have kids together, or haven't been in a common-law relationship for 2 years or more, then you will have Condition 51 status. Then what I said applies again, after you land. This is called "conditional permanent residence" and it lasts for 2 years from the date you land.

So to reiterate, after you have obtained common-law status, you can live apart for some time without issues. But, once you land again, unless you meet the conditions I just mentioned, you will once again have to live together for 2 years except for short trips (generally under a month).

Hello all...I just read a post and I'm really worried right now...if u are applying common law and ur partner travels to see her family for 2weeks..Will that affect ur common law status?

From his post, willyblue was referring to travelling WHILE applying, not after, so Condition 51 has nothing to do with the answer.

You are right . The application is scanned but after scanning,the entire doc and pics included in the application is all mailed to the VO. It takes about a week to arrive VO, but add about one or two days for VO to go thru the file and acknowledge receipt . At this point, eCas goes to "In Process"

Many thanks guys for ur answers.cheers

Certainly not the first time I've deduced incorrectly.

Hi guys, just wondering if there is anyone who have gotten "decion made or ppr" from singapore vo recently. We have applied in sept and the file was transferred to svo in December. I have not received any aor2 but the ecas shows in process till now.
Thank you ..

Hey guys, we recently got our AOR but we sent in the application without being in possession of our marriage certificate. Does anyone have experience or advice on whether we should send in the marriage certificate with the case number as reference now already or should we wait until they request it?

Hey!

Just wanted to know when you send your application to CPC?


Thanks in advance!
