Spousal sponsorship

Re: Good news everyone

Today a special day. Woke up in Canada and getting ready for work when Tess, my spouse comes on line to tell me : "Guess what? I got a call from immigration office today in Manila. The officer said "Your PR Visa is ready for pick up." He said, " You will have to leave the Philippines by May26th." He said, You can come to the visa section in Makati Monday morning to pick up your visa." Wow. She was speechless." Now our life begins to fall into place. Thanks to everyone. The strange thing is, and I guess a good sign for everyone on this forum, is that our online information never changed from "application received". We were never asked for our passport. We had recently mailed a copy of Tess's new passport with her married change in status. So the first thing we want to do is share our excitement with everyone on this forum. Thanks for everyone's support. You will be next.

Back on line now after a day of wonder and joy. All those things flying around in my head. Ha so excited. We now need to search for best flight from Manila to Canada for May. Hum! How to prepare for Tess's arrival? Just can't believe everything now happening. Still surprised that nothing shows up on line. I am so used to checking this forum on line each day that I will continue for some time in the future. See u all later.

You can travel out of Canada immediately. However you will need either your PR card or a travel document to return.

Aha. Thank you

Glad to hear. May I ask what you mean about no passport request? Did you just send your passport to the embassy without them asking for it? I'm just confused if you sent your passport before they called you about your visa approved

Actually my spouse got a call from cic officer who told her her PR was ready to pick up and they agreed to currier it to her. Than a few minutes later he called her back and said wait a minute, we don't have your passport. So then he told her if she could bring it in Monday morning to the cic office they could finalize everything right away. Because he had told her the PR has to be used for travel before May 26, we think maybe the PR has been ready a few weeks already. So I think a bit of luck on our part. Tess said the officer was vary pleasant to speak with and seemed to want to do his best to make things happen as quick as possible. What I meant before was we had recently sent an updated photocopy of Tess's new passport because she had just recently changed the status on her passport to reflect her new married name. Sorry for confusing you.

I am so sorry to hear this. It's terrible and unconscionable that he would not at least take responsibility for his son and not want his son to be close to him and finish the immigration process anyway. My only advice as I don't have (thank gods) any personal experience with this is to contact a canadian family law lawyer and see what can be done. Its never easy on a couple to spend so long apart and these marriages make both parties feel vunerable but i think more so the sponsored. I'm so sorry to hear this is happening to you. It may be a stressful time. Perhaps a gentle email urging him to share what's going on. Perhaps he is having financial distress. It's no excuse but a lawyer can help you assess your rights and options in case he is just coldly dropping you and being a "dead beat dad". I wish you all the best. Let me know what happens

Hi, I have a question. First a bit of background about my application. My wife (Canadian Citizen) is sponsoring me for PR. We applied through the Abu Dhabi office in October 2013. I got Request for Documents and Medical on January 13 2014. No updates since then except for 'Medical results have been received' in ECAS. She is living in UAE with me.

Now for the question. We found out she is pregnant. Baby is due in October. She will be going back to Canada to have the baby. Now I need to know if I have to inform CIC about the pregnancy or not? If yes how? From what I understood from reading the AOR from ADVO is that if the principal applicant is pregnant then CIC needs to be informed. In my case I believe I am the principal applicant not my wife who s the sponsor or am I wrong?

Correct, you would be applicant.
Wife is sponsor.

 

[eemsley]

Correct, you would be applicant.
Wife is sponsor.

Does it matter: just pass on the information and all will be good.

Does it matter: just pass on the information and all will be good.

Only would matter if applicant was the one pregnant, might prolong application due to the fact medical could not be completed. X-rays during pregnancy.

I don't think that is any need to inform since you are the person being sponsored....
if she were the one being sponsored then it would be important to do.... but you are OK...

Sad that you have to be away from your wife in this important time in her life....
