Good Day,

I am submitting my in land spousal application this February and still hesitant to include my 2 dependents because my husband (canadian citizen) the once who is sponsoring me didn't work last year as much its life just 5 months out or 12 in a year. I am kind of scared that it may get refuse if they check on the money matter or does it matter at all? I am under Student visa right now, Its just should I include my kids on my application or me first then kid to follow??? please give some advice base on experience or knowledge.

Regards to all.

You need to include your kids on the application, even if they wouldn't be accompanying. But they have to be on there. If you left them off the application entirely, you would be unable to sponsor them in the future.

I have a child, and my husband is sponsoring me. He doesn't have substantial income. There's no minimum income requirement, you just have to show that you'll be able to get by without going on welfare. We provided proof of savings accounts as well as a letter of support from his parents since we'll be living with them initially after arriving.

Hi!

Apparently there were changes in the Spousal Sponsorship category.

My husband already did an upfront medical and we only need to submit our papers (old application package) but there is no way that we can beat the deadline on January 31. What will happen on the medical exam that my husband? should I still submit it along with the new application package?

Please!

I need help...

If you can't get it out to them by the 31st then the insturctions say not to include the medical as they will request one at a later date. I would include it anyway, as long as the medical is still valid they may accept it and process your application. Worst case is they don't accept it being late and request a new one. Either way I would include it, they won't decline your application because you included it. I included my police certificate with the new forms and they requested me to upload a schedule A but they didn't request a NEW police certificate, so I'm guessing that I'm good. Who knows until they actually go to process it though

Please read the checklist for the new application kit. It specifies what to do if you already completed the upfront medical exam.

We included information about how we will be able to support ourselves financially in Canada, and some of the proofs include the amount of savings that we have in both of our bank accounts. But for the "evidence of relationship" portion of the application, we will show them Western Union money transfers from the sponsor to the applicant. But wouldn't it be weird to show them if we also show the fact that the principal applicant has a good amount of savings in his bank account?

We have zero idea about taxes. A Notice of Reassessment is as equal as a Notice of Assessment, right? And it should be for the year 2015 if I am sending the application now?

Thank you for answers.

a)Yes, a notice of reassessment is basically they just looked at your taxes again and changed the information.
b)If you haven't file your taxes for 2016 then yes, you should be sending in your 2015 taxes.
c) no it is not weird if you should the PA having a good portion of savings in bank account.

Thanks danawhitaker,
Please suggest if the employment or source of income or funds important when sponsoring spouse (no children). I do not have employment or much funds as a new immigrant and mostly stayed outside canada due to and after marriage.
Any suggestions with possible information from CIC would really help me understand the importance of this requirement.

There are no income requirement for sponsoring a spouse but you need to be able to show that you can support your spouse since you will be on the hook for 5 years after they landed. So even if you don't have a job right now, if you have a healthy bank account, show that ;D

It only says about theose who can submit the application by the 31st of the month. The problem is, the package from my husband will arrive past Jan 31st...

Do I need to past a Proof of Relationship in the new application package?

You cannot send the old application kit after the 31st. But the checklist for the new kit, which you *can* send, specifically says what to do if you did your medical upfront already. For some reason I cannot paste the text from the PDF. Please read the bottom of page 5 of IMM 5533.

My wife and I are submitting the new application soon but have a quick question... For social media proof we have printed 28 pages of proof that shows friends and family commenting on posts with pictures we shared (trip to Taiwan, dates together, other travels in Canada etc etc..), we want to also add 1-2 pictures printed from Costco or London Drugs for each social media posting (28 pages of posts, 1 post per page), will this be okay?

We also want to include more than 20 pictures if possible on top of the social media proof pictures, is it okay to do this? We just want to show as much evidence/proof of relationship so we don't chance getting an interview

I'd suggest just following the instructions.

Hey
I would like to ask if someone knows is it possible that the application will lasts longer than the processing time that is written in online services?

Thanks
