I am currently a PR in Canada. I sponsored my wife who is in India and submitted the file in October 2019 and got confirmation in November 2019. I got approval on the sponsorship part on January 3 and got email for biometrics on January 5 and another email for medical on January 06 2020. My questions how long does it take to get PR after the medical exam is done?
according to the ongoing trends followed by ndvo its not clear wen can u expect ppr as far count the total process btwn 9-12 months aft

We submitted all the details and documents. He is shifting from Toronto to montreal. Is there any different process if he changes to another province during my process? Please let me know
He will need to update IRCC that he has moved to Quebec and go through the CSQ process.

I am a Canadian Citizen living in Toronto. I just recently got married to a Pakistani girl in Pakistan in December 2019. We had a simple Nikanama and religiously, legally she is my wife now. I wish to apply to sponsor her to Canada by the end of January or February 2020.

Although we will most definately be applying through an experienced immigration lawyer in Canada, but still i will be grateful for the most comprehensive summarized guidance with respect to my case in terms of the application forms to be filled out by me the sponsor, my wife the sponsoree and the list of documents to be provided by me and her.
Nikah-only apps are often refused. You really should finish all ceremonies, especially Rukhsati.

If your application was returned, it means it was missing signatures or required documents. Your application was not processed and will need to be resubmitted. You may want to contact Hong Kong Post to see if they can trace it; November to January is a long time for mail to not be delivered (but it's not unheard of, I had to wait September 23 to December 27 for mail from Shanghai to Vancouver)
Such a relief, i have finally received my returned application and know what i am missing! Just want to quickly ask, do i need to reprint and sign again all the documents with current dates or it is okay to resubmit the same docs? Thank you!!!

Check for form updates. If it has been updated, you need to redo it.

Are you a citizen or a PR?

As a citizen, you can apply from outside Canada. If you are a PR, you must be in Canada and living in Canada to apply.

Then you have to be living in Canada and back in Canada to apply for spousal sponsorship. You can't have your relatives do it.
