Hello,

Below is my progress for sponsoring (me, citizen in Canada) my wife (from India).

Application submitted: May 2020
Medical and biometrics request: March 2021
Pre-arrival letter: July 2021
Status updated to "Decision Made" this week.

May I know the approximate time it would take for my wife to get her passport request letter?
Congrats! How you are tracking application, through online portal? Can Sponsor link the application to his own CIC account used for his on PR application?

Hi, I just want to ask if my application will return? if I accidentally put a wrong number of studies in total? It should be 14 but When I check it again I wonder why number 4 is the only number that reflect. WhAt should I do?

Hello, I'm about to submit sponsorship application for my wife, she did visitor visa request in 2020 and therefore she submitted her biometrics and got letter stating that her biometrics are valid for 10 years, but now when i search for her biometrics on IRCC website i couldn't find it, shall i pay again for her biometrics or submit letter as proof that biometrics are valid for 10 years? Thank you

I would do no more than submit proof she submitted biometrics before.

Note, previously IRCC always required PR applicants to get new biometrics. During covid they have waived this and are accepting previous. Because formally it's a temporary special measure, there are sometimes oddities or minor confusions in processing and especially in what the update pages say (they may say biometrics needed when they aren't).

Personally I'd pay and wait for them to refund (they do seem to do this consistently) because once in a while they ask for payment before they realise it was already paid. But it probably makes no difference.

This is what we did. We paid for it upfront, but they linked it automatically from a previous TRV application and then refunded us.

Hello, I just noticed that the name is wrong on the COPR paperwork. We already landed and just looking to get that fix, anyone know who to reach out to, to correct it? Should we speak/email IRCC?

Hi, can you please help with the following question:
Is it okay if I handwrite the date (after printing) on the forms (IMM 0008 and 1344) with a barcode vs typing the date? Also, can we put future dates?

Thanks for your reply. If I handwrite the dates on forms that generate barcodes, won't the dates be missed when they scan the barcode?

Personally, I think once a specific form requires barcodes then best everything needs to be typed, unless the specific space does not allow for typing. Eg. Date section does not allow for typing. I feel the barcode is what is scanned for records as it captures all typed information.
As for the date, provided it hasn't yet been submitted to IRCC it is only a future date for you should be fine, meaning ircc has no idea of when you filled or printed the docs. But if you mean a future date for ircc then I dnt think that's advisable.
