Spousal sponsorship

[Canadian1981]

Hello everyone!

Could I ask for input on if I've got everything right before my girlfriend and I start the process?

We're going to be applying outland because she is from France. She's currently living with me, and here on a 6 month visitor visa with 2 months remaining. We're getting married soon, and where wondering when we come back from our honeymoon what documents we should bring to make sure things go smooth for another visitor visa. Would you recommend getting an extension later, or just leaving and applying for an additional 6 month visa once this next one expires?

We won't be sending in our kit until after we're back from the honeymoon, but figured we'd get a head start on all the police clearances. Just to make sure we've got this right;

France - apply for the clearance from France and send in with our kit.
United Kingdom - apply for the clearance from United Kingdom and send in with our kit.
Switzerland - apply for the clearance from Switzerland and send in with our kit.
Canada - Not necessary
New Zealand - Fill out a Consent to Disclosure of Information (NZ) form and send it in with our kit, instead of the police certificate itself.

I'm a Canadian citizen and don't require any of this, correct?

Does getting the medical done up front speed things up considerably if applying outland?

So, we fill out all the forms, gather proof of relationship (pics, emails, wedding certificate etc.) and send it all to Mississauga.

At this point would it be wise to include an application for a TVR (sorry if I've got the acronym wrong) so she can come and go for the duration of the process? Or like I mentioned earlier, should we just not bother and get a new 6 month visa at the border?

Is there anything anyone would recommend to make sure things go smooth?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated! ;D

Hi

She has visitor status, not a visitor visa. This status ends when she leaves Canada, so there is no point in extending it since she is leaving for the honeymoon. Her visitor status will essentially reset when she re-enters.

You are correct with the police certificates.

The sponsor doesn't need police certificates.

The medical must be done beforehand and the receipt included in the app.

As a visa-exempt French citizen, she doesn't qualify for a TRV.

My sister got married to a Canadian guy, and was sponsored by him last year. The application was submitted at Canadian Office in March 2014, and was asked to re-submit medicals, as they found something suspicious in it. Now, the medicals were redone and resubmitted in August 2014 and after that, there hasn't been any communication about it since then. She is in total confusion as what to do? where to go? The ECAS status is showing first line only and any confirmation/rejection of medicals hasn't been updated even after 5 months. Has anyone gone through same situation before? Or any kind of suggestion for her at this point.

Thanks.

Has she gone back to the medical office to ensure hat they got the results and in fact sent them to the visa office?

Not really...but their agent in Canada did receive a letter about the file number and date received of the application. There was no mention of medicals or anything.

I think so,,agree with u,I am also married,and it's really hard to be far,I haven't seen my hubby for 6 months :'( And waiting almost 8 months,but still nothing : all that we can do,is to be patient

I am away from my husband for a year now. No the immigration people don't know how hard it is to stay away from your husband or wife. I am dying so does my husband. They don't seem to understand. I quitted a well paying job as a recruiter due to depression and I am always sleepless and stressed. I talk to my husband every night his day is my night. Immigration people need to process the married cases faster atleast

Dont worry, the STAGE 1 processing time is taking around 89 days (3 months), they will contact you after that...so just be patient..

No, she doesn't need to go anywhere to register the marriage. As long as you guys have the marriage certificate and it is legally translated into Engish or French, you're good to go.
