Spousal sponsorship

[cempjwi]

Hi!
can somebody pls help me with the right answer:
my boyfriend is sponsoring me and my son in family programm, as common law partner, inside of QC, we are living together more than 2 years. but same time my son, who is 20 years old, are studying in Germany (university) and he will be graduate his university in Germany just in 2-3 years..
So, my quastion is - what is the rules and how it works after CIC will accept our application - me I am already in Canada, but my son - what is the rules for him - can he finish his studies in Germany or there is time&limit when he should arrive in Canada and stay here with us...

I will appreciate a lot your opinion&answer..

Merci !

You will be the main applicant and he will be your dependent. Once your PR is approved, you must land with your son or you can land before him, but he cannot land before you do. Now, he can come to Canada as late as his COPR will allow him, land, and then go back to Germany to finish his studies (even on the same day). Since the rule is that he must live in Canada 2 out of the last 5 years, he will probably be able to finish his studies before his residency obligation requires him to come back to Canada (technically, he will have 3 yrs to come back to Canada after he leaves Canada immediately following his landing). You can mail him his PR card to Germany.

If you are applying outland it does not matter where you two live, even if in different countries, but I am not sure about applying inland.

Thanks, Cempjwi!
so, if i understood right - it means cic, in their approval is giving the 'landing time' for each sponsored person, rightÉ
and depends of this, my son will have 'his time for landing', but 'generally it could be 'at least 2 years from 5 he should live here, in QC' and in this way he should manage his studies, rightÉ


Thanks a lot!!

No, your time for landing is different from the residency obligation. When your PR is approved you are given a date on which you must land (of before it). That date will be the same for you and your son. However, you can land before he does. The 2 yrs of the last 5yrs is the residency in Canada obligation (which starts counting after each of you land as a PR).

Need some word of advice,

in an inland spousal sponsorship case, we're getting letters from the family and friends however some relatives are out of city and their letter won't get to me in time. they are going to xpress post it. But what I was wondering is: will they object if some of the letters are signed, scanned and then emailed to me and I just print them and attach them with the application?

whats your take on it? or do you have any experience with this?

I know letters are not required in a spousal case but we want give lots of "genuine relationship" proof.

As you say, they are not an actual requirement. So really it doesn't matter how they are presented to CIC. I would just ensure the letter contains the writers full name, address and phone number to make the letter more "official" (CIC would never actually contact them). Having a few of these letters that you have printed out, is better than not sending them at all.

Anecdotal. If you send a letter with regular postage it can take up to 3 days if the address is within the city. Most delays on lettermail is caused by a wrong or incomplete/illegible addresses. Mistakes can happen but because you may have a had a letter get delayed doesn't mean that they all get delayed. Delays on international mail are caused by either the foreign carrier or they get held at customs in the majority of cases.
As much as a nightmare Canada Post can be it is still the fastest and cheapest in the world. If you got to see the operation from the inside you would be surprised at just how much stuff gets delivered quickly. I've never seen failure rates any greater than 3% and that is at Christmas. On average failure rates would hover around 1%.

: Once again you stand up for CP. So for now, I'll just ignore you.

As I said, it can take a while for CP. Take that for what you will. Have friends and family (and myself) working for CP. CP lost my passport, lost my husband's passport and lost my birth certificate. So like I said, take it for what you will.

My interest is that people have the proper perspective and that is what I'm defending. I have worked there for 10 years in a variety of positions and places in the country so I'm very confident in my level of knowledge. The majority of mistakes are made by the sender. Today I had 7 documents sent from the Philippine Embassy in Toronto going to 2 different addresses in Winnipeg. All the addresses gave a Winnipeg civic number and address but had Toronto listed as the city and a Vancouver postal code. Things like this are not uncommon. I get them almost daily. The passport office often puts the sender's address in place of the receiver's address so the item goes back to the passport office and then back to us and then back to the passport office and then back to us again. Even though the error has been noted on the envelope. Pretty hard to lose things that are trackable but it can happen.

Hey Guys - I am new to this forum and need some help.

I applied for my PR under Canadian Experience Class and I have received my medical request last week and scheduled a medical appointment for next week. I have a dilemma and would really appreciate some help.

I am planning to get married but it can take a couple of months. What would you suggest if I want to add my spouse to my application (she doesn't reside in Canada)? When is the latest I can add spouse to my application and what implications it will have on my own PR application, I mean will it get delayed or something?

Also, is it better to add spouse to the current application and delay the overall application by few months rather than starting the sponsorship of spouse from scratch after getting my own PR which can takes months upto years.

Please let me know if you guys have experience about this situation.

Then the government screws up. Alot. If I recall correctly, CIC is government. Just sayin'. If the sender is at fault, the passports and my birth certificate all were from Government. Comforting.

You can contact CIC and get different answers to the same question any day of the week. I called on monday to find out how I can lodge a formal complaint. That agent took my name and number and said someone from the complaints department would call me back. Sure enough the next day I got a call from the complaints agent who listened to my complaint and then told me there was nothing he could do. So then I asked him why the complaints agent can't take a complaint? He then spent the next 5 minutes complaining about me to me. So I asked him how can I file a complaint against the complaint officer for not filing a complaint? He hung up on me.
