Spousal sponsorship

[computergeek]

hi guys just wondering if background check for the applicant happens before passport request? or is it after? thank you!

For most visa offices, it happens before PPR. NDVO seems to be an exception here (they tend to request passports early in the process).

Is that New Delhi Visa office? Thank you so much for your reply.

(Probably) last question, I promise!

On IMM008, I'm doing an outland app, but my husband is inside Canada. I have his residential address as Australia, and his mailing address as Canada.

On Question 10 though, Current Country of Residence, what should I answer? Australia, as a citizen, or Canada, as a visitor? I assume the former, but I'd love to have that confirmed!

Thanks.

Ah yes, NDVO = "New Delhi Visa Office"

Hello,

I recently got married in Japan. I returned to Canada and my wife will return next week.

Our PR application is almost ready to go, but we have a few questions:

• She has 3 types of Tohon. Tohon before marriage, Tohon after marriage and Kaisei genko seki (old tohon before Japanese government changed data to electronic). Does she need to translate all 3?

• She also has a document called a Konin todoke juri shome sho (apparently it’s like a wedding certificate). Should she have this translated?

• Any advice on where to get the documents translated? It’s $60 per document in her town. Is there a service in Canada that might be better?

• She wants to stay with me in Canada until her PR is approved, but we are worried about border officials. What should she tell them? Should she have any evidence such as bank info, my pay stubs and PR application receipt?

Thanks so much for any assistance.

A quick question to people who got PPR

How did you guys fill in "Height and Eye Chart"?

Printing that email and filling in by hand is ok?


Thanks

yes in my case, it was handwritten. It should be fine since the form is non-editable .

hello, I am in a unique situation and any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I am a Canadian citizen and my fiance of 3 years and my 1 year old son are New Zealanders, we are currently living in NZ but want to move back to canada I am really confused on what kind of visa we should get for my fiance, whether a working, or if i need to sponsor him but i live in nz at this point so i wasnt sure if that was possible. is permanent residency the only option for us because that has longer processing times and we arent sure if we will stay in Canada permanently. is it possibly for him to get a work visa on his own or do i have to be in the equation? also when we lived in canada in 2010 he overstayed his visitors visa, will that have any affect when we apply for an other visa? we are hoping to get to canada in march so time is running out, also would it be an option for him to return on a visitors visa and we will apply for another visa when we get there. Thanks so much

Were you born in Canada or naturalized as a citizen? If so, your son is a Canadian Citizen by descent. You need to obtain a "Certificate of Canadian Citizenship" (forms/instructions on the CIC website) and with that you can get him a Canadian passport.

If you have been living with your fiance for at least one continuous year (which sounds like a good bet) you can sponsor him in the common-law partner class. You may sponsor him as long as you have a credible plan to return to Canada. He may independently qualify for a work permit, either via one of the temporary work in Canada plans, or through sponsored employment. NZ citizens' applications are processed through Sydney, Australia, and they have very fast processing time - so you should expect 6-10 months, but a very solid, very well-done application can have it done on the low end of that. If you then come to Canada, you can stay for a while, or leave. As long as you and your fiance live together anywhere in the world, he will meet the PR residency obligation.

If you wish to come in March, you could submit an application now, show you plan on returning in March (a good part of a credible plan to return) and when you get here ask for the BSO to give him a visitor record while you wait for the PR to finish up. If he can qualify for a work permit in the interim, that's fine too. Or he can come to Canada and look for an employer willing to sponsor him via the LMO process.

Spousal sponsorship is the fastest way to permanent residency, and then he has the right to work in Canada.

Good luck!

I sent my visa office a photocopy by mail, as well as a scanned copy via the Case Specific Enquiry thing on CIC's website. That was acceptable.

My letter from MICC indicated that they also communicate the results to the visa office. In my case, they had made a spelling error in my first name that had to be rectified and once the CSQ had been reissued I ended up sending the copies to my visa office, as mentioned, myself. I don't know whether that would be necessary in normal circumstances. Perhaps not, but who knows?

I received an email approximately a month after sponsor approval from the London visa office requesting the CSQ so presumably if the visa office does not have it they will contact you, but obviously I can only speak of my experience with the London visa office. By that point I had received my incorrect CSQ but hadn't yet received the correct copy.

Mine wasn't a clear cut situation, unfortunately, so I'm hoping someone else will come along and share their (hopefully straightforward) experience.

Hope that helps, a little?!

Edit just to say: I reread your post and yes, you are correct in saying that you WILL need your original CSQ so if you have only been provided with one copy of it then absolutely DO NOT send that. Just wanted to be clearer about that. I have heard about other people who have received a copy for them and a spare copy but that wasn't the case for me.
