Hi Guys,

New to this thread. Im the primary applicant for a spousal PR and had sent our file on 6th may to CPC-M.

Now, our file got retuned back to my husbands address in canada because we missed a signature, but in the meantime we also figured out some mistakes or additions that would have helped the file.

My question is that if they have returned the file and asked specifically for some corrections, is it safe for me to assume that they have gone through the entire file and the rest of the file is ok? Mainly the sponsors part, because i know after SA the file will head to New Delhi where my papers will be scrutinized.

Why i'm asking is becasue we had sent 3 years NOA of my husband and wondering if we stick to that when we are returning the file or do we get an Option C print out?

A second question is regarding the Country specific Instructions, there is a form for Foreign travel details.

I grew up in the gulf and till the age of 15 i came down to india every summer vacation we had and obviously my passport has those stamps. After 15 i settled in India and the only foreign trip i had was a 10 day trip to malaysia in 2008. In such a case, should i mention every trip i have ever had as stamped in my passprt or only the ones after i turned 18.

please advice.

hello,
i am a canadian pr since last december (landed in BC). my girlfriend who is from china is on visitor visa here right now. since her visitor visa is about to expire soon, we are planning to get married first with a civil ceremony (so that we can get the marriage certificate) to apply for her extension for visitor visa and then later in 2-3 months also do a religious ceremony when our family members from our home country can come here.

i have 2 questions, if one of the members can please help me with this:

1) we are planning to do register our marriage in Toronto (for some reasons). is it ok to register outside the province where i am suppose to live in, since i am suppose to live in BC.

2) has anyone done this before where they had a civil ceremony and then a religious ceremony at a later date. will this be ok when i apply for PR paper

if you can please let me know as this would really help us out.

I'm not sure how well they go through to applications but if they sent it back for a missing signature then I would assume they do.

I sent copies of my T4's which were acceptable. If your spouse has those he can include those copies with the NOA's.

Follow the rules of the guide. I believe you need to only list the places you have lived for more than 6 months outside your country. If you feel its necessary you can add a separate list of trips you have taken and the reason so that it explains the stamps in your passport.

Hi friends,
I am a Permanent Resident of Canada and I want to sponsor my common-law wife and our child. We have continuous relationship (Almost 10 years) and we have a 2 years old son. Right now I'm located in Bulgaria with them, but I plan to come back to Canada and resided there. Now I'm preparing a documents for the sponsorship. I have few questions and I'll be very happy, if someone of you can help me and give me an advice:

1. Can I prepare all documents right now and when I came back to Canada just to forward them to Missisagua, or I need to live for a some period of time in Canada before to submit an application. (We lived together for almoust 3 years in Bulgaria). If I can prepare the documents right now, is there will be a problem with the dates of our signatures, because i know that i need to apply from Canada (I'm not canadian citizen, only PR) and we will fill the application before i resided in Canada.

2. I see that there is a Country Specific Instructions for East Europe (IMM3902e). There is point 8 called CHILDREN'S INFORMATION.
Consent for immigration
If you have children under 18 years of age who will accompany you to Canada, you must submit an original notarized consent form (see end of Appendix A) signed by the other parent allowing your children to immigrate with you. This document will not be returned to you.

I see this consent forms at the end of Appendix A, but I think that in my case when I whant to sponsor my common-law partner and our child I DONT need to fill it. What is your opinion did i need to fill this consent forms when I have PR card and I whant to sponsor two of them??? And instead of this did I need to provide notarized certificate document that I give right to my child to travel with my wife (I think that this document need to be shown on the Bulgarian airport when they will travel to Canada.) If I don't need to fill this consent forms and leave Children's information unmarked is there will be a problem in the future with my application???

Thank you for your time and answers :)

How long have you been outside Canada? As a PR, you must reside in Canada while processing of the sponsorship application.

hello,
sorry for so many questions, but i want to get the details properly. my girlfriend is currently in Canada on visitor visa and we are planning to get married soon. Right now since her visitor visa is about to expire in 2 months we are going to have a civil ceremony so that for her visitor visa renewal application, we can show that we have now been married and we will be filing for her PR shortly.

however i just noticed that to get the marriage certificate takes anywhere between 1-2 months. my question was is there any other paper we can include for her renewal of visitor visa application that will show we are now married as we cannot get the marriage certificate in time.

has anyone else been through the same experience. if you can please help i would really appreciate the same.

You don't mention when you became a permanent resident, but if it was within the past ~9 years your common-law partner has already been examined, which means your application to sponsor will likely be rather faster than normal (they only need to update the previous examination). Similarly, if you landed since the birth of your son, he has also been previously examined.

Try making a copy of the executed marriage licence after everyone has signed off on it and sending that along.

Hi computergeek: I understand if someone has Bankruptcy can't sponsor spouse in 7 years until it is clear. But what if someone has filed for 'consumer proposal', can he/she sponsor spouse of NOT. Please help me from your vast knowledge of immigration. Thanks in advance. By the way, I put this question as an independent post but nobody responded yet. So I thought I should ask you.

Hi computergeek, I became a PR in 2001, after that I came back to Bulgaria to study and our relationship with my wife is from 2003.... Please can you explain me more about the chance that my application to sponsor will likely be rather faster than normal. What did you mean with "previously examined".

So, back to my original question.. How long have you been outside Canada? Do you meet the residency obligation requirements?
