Hi! Thank you for replying to my question. Once again, I'm Canadian and my husband is American. I'm sponsoring my husband via the Outland spousal sponsorship process. Our application is in "permanent residency progress". We have submitted a document stating that he cannot obtain a medical exam for his child. My husband has tried to obtain his son's medical exam. We're hoping that we get a response so about our application as it's coming to 13 months this coming week.
We're looking forward to celebrating once our application has been approved and my husband gets his residency.

Hello everyone,

I just got married few weeks ago and would like to start filling out my application to sponsor my husband. My question is do i need to have my name changed first? Or can I use my maiden name and just attach our marriage contract?
Thank you

Changing your name isn't an issue. It is more important they don't find any reason to doubt that your relationship isn't genuine and for that you have to show communications and financial support and photographs of the wedding/honeymoon/time you spent together.

I didn't change my name either but we submitted a lot of evidence supporting our relationship.

Can some senior members guide me with regards to how long the below checks take? My MP enquired and informed me of the following :

"Medical and eligibility checks for the file have passed and currently they are performing the criminality check. However, as of today, they have not begun the security check portion of the file."

My questions are:

1) If eligibility has been passed does that mean now I dont have to worry about interview?
2) How long does the criminality and security portion take?

Thanks a lot in advance :)

CIC reserves the right to call applicants for any interview at any time, so while you should be okay, it's impossible to say that you don't have to worry about that for sure.

I assume you passed the interview, since they asked for medical. If you pass your medical, you will get a PPR. Nothing you can do but wait patiently :)

Hi! Me again.. You suggested I ordered notes about my husband's application. I'm sponsoring my husband via Outland spousal sponsorship. We're awaiting his permanent residency. It's "in progress". We sent CIC what they had requested which was my husband's birth certificate and my husband's medical exam (copy of receipt given by medical doctor's office). We had sent all these documents by e-mail as per CIC's request. I got a reply that they had received them.
What's next?? We're hoping this is it!! But, how much longer?? Please help us and give us advise. Thank you. We appreciate it.

Hi Guys,
In the sponsorship evaluation form, if you are working on an open ended contract as an individual without incorporation should you add details to "Emploted" section or "Self employed" ??
