We got our sponsorship approval, does this mean that they found my husbands outline/intent part sufficient? Or is this reviewed under my portion of the case?

hmmmmmmm according to the timeline u probably didnt receive your AOR it was the file transfered to Buffalo... the basically found the sponsor eligible...next step to see if your relationship is genuine then medicals background checks etc...

u will get your AOR from Buffalo (the applicant receives this)

Yeah, there is a bit of confusion on the AOR thing.

But still am asking if the intent for my husband is looked at during sponsorship approval or my PR portion.

your part (the applicant part) thats why they might ask for interviews etc if they need more proof

i thought the same thing with the AOR as well when i got one in Mississauga
 
I think they might do both - because I would think it would be part of the sponsorship approval, but then people have had their applications rejected because it was not believed that the sponsoring partner would return to Canada when the visa was issued.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but there you have it.
 
with wich one do they statr checking ??? then medicals background checks etc...


1-- genuine
2--medicals
3--background check

wich one first and if there is other stuff they do !!!

thanx
 
Yeah it's very confusing - though I can see where perhaps it's looked at in both sides.
I guess I'll just tell my husband that we aren't in the clear on that yet (and I had said I thought I'd read about them askign for more information from people during the PR portion).

Tick tock time.
 
I mean, I would think it would make perfect sense to have the sponsorship evaluation consider the re-establishment plans. That way CPC-M considers the sponsor and the other visa office only has to consider the applicant....but if things at CIC ran the way that I think makes most sense, we'd have all been granted the PR visas we desire within a couple of weeks...but I'm sure we all have our very own lists of things that we'd change if we could run CIC....
 
Lol, isn't that true!

Yeah, you'd think they wouldn't approve him as a sponsor if he wasn't cleared on that part too.
I think it's probably more safe to say "until the passport is in hand, visa stamped/attached" we aren't in the clear :)

It's all reviewed at the visa office. There was one case on this forum where the PR visa was refused because the visa officer did not believe the sponsor would reestablish in Canada. After complaining to his MP, the decision was overturned, and they got the PR visa right away. From this I took that the visa officer must have reviewed the complete file and decided the relationship was genuine, but then decided there was not enough proof of plans to reestablish in Canada. If the visa officer had also not been convinced the relationship was genuine, he would have added that to the refusal letter as a grounds for refusal. If not, a couple with a non-genuine marriage could have won on appeal just by proving they were going to live in Canada.

Thanks, yeah. I told him I wasn't personally worried about that being a reason for refusal. In the end at that point, we could literally just be ready to move there. Though I am not sure if we'd go thru the appeal process if we were denied (is it not long and pricey?) since we are together legally now in the US - we just have no supporting family and that's the reason we are intending to move back, to have family.
