Hello everyone,

I'm engaged and since I am not allowed to go in my country of origin, I will go to another country ( India) to get married.
Some one told me before I go I should get a verification letter from my MP so that they verify that I can go in this country and get married and providing documents from this country is acceptable for sponsoring my spouse.
I at least need 2 months to stay there and the India's embassy in Ottawa they are not issuing Visa in PR Travel document.
I don't need Tourist visa because the stay period is 30 days and Is not extendable.

I'm very stressed and I don't know what should I do.
If anyone has gone through the same situation please please share your experience with me.

Thanks a million in advance.

You don't need any sort of "verification letter" from your MP. That's ridiculous.

So you are in the situation that you want to sponsor your foreign spouse for permanent residency of Canada and don't know where to start. Here are some tips:...
Hi there Leon! I have a question I was hoping you could help me with.

I have already submitted my application, and I am part of the spreadsheets, and I know the acronyms. I get my information from two different FB groups as well as this forum. But there is one thing I'm really battling to find information about...an acronym doesn't tell me what that so of the process actually means. I know AOR is acknowledgement of receipt, but what are they doing in that step, and what is the difference between AOR1 and AOR2? What does it mean when you get AIP as opposed to DM? What happens when you're forwarded to a visa office?

I'm not talking about processing times, and I understand everyone's story will be slightly different. I just see a lot of people on the FB groups asking "what does this mean" and "what's the next step", so I'm not the only one confused, and I also see a lot of people who know exactly what is going on, so I wonder if there is a document or explanation of the process somewhere so that I can educate myself and better understand the step by step of my application?

Thank you!

If you put AOR in search on this website it will give you the definations you are looking for also search acronyms and a whole page will come up . You might also want to look at the thread for explanations for GCMS notes as well Hope this helps answer your questions

When you say that you came to Canada, what do you mean by that? Did you get PR approved and come to Canada for the first time? If so, did you include you wife in the application?

Hi,

For those who submitted letters and/or cards as part of your Proof of Contact, did you submit originals or copies only?

Thank you.

Does anyone know how long the wait currently is for PR cards? My husband landed June 23 and we've recently started watching the mail. We are also waiting on his social insurance number. We went to Service Canada in July and they said his info wasn't in the system yet. Um?? No worries, we were told, it would be mailed to us later. It's now been two months and still nothing. I'm wondering if maybe he should go back to our border station and make sure everything is in order. It doesn't seem right that it would take this long for the SIN.

It's an irrelevant question for this thread, but can anyone please advise if someone can get married after PPR or visa stamping ( before landing),
Please share your thoughts!!
