Sponsoring A Spouse Is Like Holding A Time Bomb Which Can Explode Anytime​

Sham marriages are of two kinds. One occurs when a foreign spouse conspires to trick a Canadian into a marriage. The other occurs when two people conspire to trick Canadian immigration authorities into believing their marriage is genuine when, in reality, the foreign “spouse” has paid the Canadian “spouse” a large sum of money (estimated $50,000) to get into Canada.

The government has implemented a regulation that gives immigration officers authority to reject a spousal sponsorship application if a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident has sponsored someone whom he or she met in this country and got married, but where the sponsorer does not have legal status.

It has always been obvious that any sponsorship application should be rejected if the visa officer decided the marriage was fake.

But rejecting a spousal unification application even if the marriage is considered genuine but was done for the purpose of immigration?

There have been many dissenting voices about this.

There is concern that with the concept of arranged marriage still popular among South Asians in Canada and in South Asia, they might be adversely affected by these changes.

This is because even many young Canadian-South Asians get married to citizens from South Asia whom their family members may have arranged, or whom they may have met online.

It remains to be seen how far the visa officers will go in using the new guidelines — whether they will take them literally, or whether they will still abide by the principle that genuine partnerships should be approved.

mine is still there but only when i login through my id

Hello Gwalyat & thecoolguysam

There is no need to worry about the ECAS status, its just a tool about our status and whats happening at the back but you shouldn't rely on it. For many applicants "application received" directly changes to "decision made",there have been some instances in past where applicants got their passport back with visa & their ECAS was still stuck at "application received" or "in process".

Once normal processing time gets elapsed i.e 6 months, than we should lite candles under the CHC table or somewhere else than they will act accordingly to process our files.

I trust everyone will get there Visa in time and including myself

Best Wishes

How can I check the status of my application?​

You may check the status of your application online, using the e-client Application Status service (eCas) of the Citizenship and Immigration website: Client Application Status.http://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/ECAS.jsp

If you are a sponsor of a member of the family class, you may also check case status through the CIC Call Centre. In Canada, call 1-888-242-2100. You may also submit enquiries by using Case Specific Enquiry Form.https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=ankara

The processing time for 80% of applications is considered the normal processing time. If the processing time of your application is within the processing time for 80% of applications of the category in which you applied, please do not submit a status enquiry. Enquiries on applications which are within this processing time will not receive a response.

Your husband has signed the IMM547E agreement I.e He authorized to conduct business on your behalf and receive information on your case file.

My Advice approach the representative and request him to enquire on your case file.

Regards

It seems you may receive PPR at final stage !

Surely they should have started processing and due to the maintenance and updation in the GCMS , the ECAS status have not updated for most of them and including myself buddy !

Kind advice just wait one week more, If Ecas status reflects application is in process than everything normal, don't worry even if you wont receive your PPR.

No updation in ECAS nor PPR, than request your representative to approach CHC in this regards.

Regards and best wishes.

Status does not mean anything in ND, there is no specific order as listed in the guidelines...and they never follow guidelines with this Office.
I have seen a ton of them here get a Visa directly from App received and finally ecas would read - app received, in process & decision made.

So chill and relax, all is well...i would be more worried if it changes to In-process soon..that usually is an indication of a delayed BC or delay than others.
We have discussed abt this a million times on this thread..back in the old days

Nope. you need to wait until contacted, i filed for my citizenship and am waiting..its a lengthy slow process.

If they gave you a questionaire, your application is not considered regular and will take more time than regular applications according to the site.

What is a routine application?

An application is considered routine if:

* we receive all the necessary documents and the correct fees;
* you meet the residence requirement;
* you are not subject to any immigration, security or criminal prohibitions;
* you pass the knowledge of Canada test (citizenship test); and
* you do not need a hearing with a citizenship judge.
* you are not asked to provide additional documents such as fingerprints, a residence questionnaire or documents proving residence in Canada
