Thank your so much ur information
The principal applicant, my mom, is a 72 yo senior living outside canada. Dad is in canada and 70 yo. and they havent seen each other for two decades. I prepared all the docs as they are both getting old. Tbh, my dad attempted sponsorship before but he didnt know where to start. He found it confusing and difficult. In the application pack, i am the authorized personnel. Will i be allowed to represent and/or assist my mom at the embassy.
good tips
Pls add interview tips for FSW candidates. Thanks.
Good luck to me....its tommorow..😭
My interview is coming very soon!
How did it go?
Any tips to share?
Hi,
For spousal sponsorship, is black and white copies of the passport pages sufficient? Doesn't have to be colour copies?
Hello Ali, yes you can submit black and white copies - color copies are not required unless it is mentioned on the Document Checklist
What if my English is not very good?
You should then use the services of an interpreter.
but they dont usually take the interview for canada spouse visa
wish you were our lawyer!
Great video! I'm a doctor looking to migrate to Canada - specifically Toronto, from UK. Do you have any information on this in particular?
Hello:) I would like to know how long , I have to wait before I get a date for my interview
Hi Kaniza, the interview is not always a requirement. If there is an interview, it will happen closer to the final stages of
processing. Spousal sponsorships take about 12 months to process but in some cases it can be much shorter or much longer depending on backlogs and the complexity of your case.
Is Canada reply?
thank u soo much for the information
i had interview today and the officer was so nice and was okay for the answers.
i am in Egypt and my wife had applied for me and sent the application before.
before the interview ,they asked for the alot of papers including the same like what my wife sent before.
so after the interview, the officer gave me everything and the my passport
is it normal?
After interview .how many i wait for visa .thanks alot
Hello ma'am. You are a great presenter. My case is that my husband got PR in Canada under Alberta Immigration Nomination Program ( AINP ) on March 4th 2020.
He did not go to Canada due to lockdown. In May 2020, we got married ( after 2 months of his PR ).
Then we informed ICCRC about our marriage through webform, and they sent a document checklist like education, work, passport etc. Of me. We provided the docs in October 2020, and since then we were waiting for their response.
Then, on 30th August 2022 ( after almost 2 years ), we received biometric request 4 me. I gave biometric on 5th September 2022.
Now, on 12th September, my husband received an interview letter from Delhi embassy of Canada.
I want to ask that whether, according to you, this is regarding the genuineness of marriage, or they will ask for my husband's current employment, as he left the job in 2020 on the basis of which I got AINP call?
What sought of preperation do we need for this interview? And majorly they will ask questions from my husband or me?
Do they take our interview together or one by one?
Kindly provide the following information. Thanks in advance.
If you and your husband got married after he became a PR of Canada, this means that you he filed a spousal sponsorship to sponsor you?
I did my biometric for pr 5 weeks ago but I haven't recieved a tracking # and it haven't been updated in the online tool should I be worried?
Keith Thomas what kind of application did you submit?

Hello
Your video is very helpful..!
I have a question plz help me ..
Should I bring my in-laws and my parents birth certificate and passports true copy as well to the interview? Or just mine(Principal applicant) and my husband (Sponsor) ??
Thank you
If this is a spousal sponsorship then no you do not need those documents as they are not relevant to the file. Immigration should alreayd have a copy of your birth certificate and passport. You can bring them again if they are indicated in the interview letter.

@Keyork Immigration Law
I have a question regarding updated documentation. I submitted my application a few months ago and am planning to return home for a brief trip before my current visa expires, will I need to let CIC know (send updated documents) that I left/returned to Canada or would I just need to let them know during an interview that I have an extra stamp in my passport?
If you have updated documentation about visiting your spouse, I highly recommend that you submit this as an update as it demonstrates the continuation of the relationship and the genuineness of the relationship.
@@keyorkimmigrationlaw My partner is a common law partner, I am already living in Canada and am visiting my family in my home country before my current visa expires. Would I need to send updated documentation in that situation as I will then have another Canada border stamp upon my return.
When doing spousal sponsorship does this take place before or after said spouse comes to there new home. In this case say Canada. I have been looking for info on this subject. One saying before for entry purposes and another say u can do spousal sponsorship and permanent residency at the same time if read right. To say the least confusing to me and what to know as much as possible before hand thanks
Kory Scott the spousal interview will take place before an officer makes a decision on the spousal, if an interview is requested. Upon entry to Canada for landing purposes, typically there is no interview but an office can chose to ask certain questions. Yes you can have both a pending spousal and a pending PR application on another category however you would need to withdraw one at some stage.
Good day! So nice to see your informative topics about the spousal sponsorship :-)...actually I'm looking for conjugal sponsorship because my current status was in conjugal partner but I have previous spouse but we're not living since 2012 we are now both Canadian.
I have a question please allow me to ask here..
DO I NEED TO FILE DIVORCE 1ST B4 APPLYING CONJUGAL SPONSORSHIP WITH MY CURRENT PARTNER?
Please help us. Thank you!
Hello, if you are still married at the time of your sponsorship, you would need to demonstrate why it is impossible for you to obtain a divorce. Otherwise, your application would likely be refused.
Will the visa officer after the interview give the applicant for spousal sponsorship the visa right there and there or are they gonna send a letter first to let the applicant know if he passed or not? Thank you very much for this informative video.
Thank you for your question! You will receive your decision via a correspondence.
@@keyorkimmigrationlaw Thank you for your reply!
Hi. My spouse who is a Canadian citizen sent our application package (outland sponsorship) to CPC-Mississauga on 6-28-2018. We were not able to monitor from CIC website that beginning June, 2018, Outland Sponsorship applications shoud be sent to Sydney, Nova Scotia. Are they going to forward our application package to Sydney NS. I hope CPC Mississauga will do so to avoid delay in the processing of above. It is almost a month now. We are praying and hoping for the best. Please advise us. More power to your office. This is Maria Theresita from the Philippines.
My file also in cpc mississauga can you tell how much take time your file in mississauga to visa??

What about the undeclared family member? Is there any chance to go to Canada?
Jessa Bordo There is the option of a request on humanitarian and compassionate grounds but this depends on the details of your case and why the family member was undeclared.

Hello, I did not receive the letter for my interview I think it was lost at the post office and I received an email saying that I was not present and I could be disqualified from getting my visa I sent them n email telling them that I never received.. What s next!!?? I'm from Algeria and my visa is processed In Paris
I am sorry to hear about this situation. Typically IRCC correspondence is sent out by email or mail. Did you check your spam folder? Did IRCC have your most updated email address and mailing address on file? If you did not receive it, you need to advise them in writing that you did not which you have done. You should submit an email and a webform to notify them that this might be their mistake. Hopefully they will reschedule the interview.
@@keyorkimmigrationlaw hello mam how do we get the interview letter?is it through email or post?
@keyork immigration law.
Thank you for this video.
I am holding a PR for 3 months now and working for 2 months so far.
Can I initiate the sponsorship process to sponsor my wife and my 2 kids and @ the same time apply for a 90 days visit visa for them ?
TIA
abdelbasset chaabane Yes you can file for spousal sponsorship if you meet all requirements. They can apply for TRVs however the decision will depend on the officer as they will have both dual and temporary intentions. The TRVs need to be completed properly and with strong supporting documents and explanation.
So how long is the typical interview and how long does it last?
An interview can be very short about 30 minutes or it may also be a few hours, all depends on the officer and the case.
Anything for funds To show?
Hello mam.i applied for spousal sponsorship for my husband living outside Canada one year ago and there was no updates till now.i sent several webforms asking for status and now they say application is queued for interview.application is in India.do you know when we can expect the interview date?after the interview when will they announce the results and when can we get the visa stamped in passport?
Hello Merlin. If it is indicated that your file is in queue to have an interview scheduled, it will happen closer to the final stages of
processing. Spousal sponsorships take about 12 months to process but in some cases it can be much shorter or much longer depending on backlogs and the complexity of your case. Especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, processing time are longer. Depending on the final decision you will receive after your interview the last step would be with respect to the Visa stamp and COPR if your file is approved.
How long will it take for the immigration to email you they receive your documents?
Dan Tett it can be anywhere from 2 months to 5 months about depending on backlogs.
Happy New Year Mary.I would like to ask you.I forgot to send my supportive letters from family and friends cause I did not have the right advice on time and we heard from the wrong source..I sent the rest of documentation though. This is outland application.Should I be ready for a refusal because of that.What do you think about this?sorry it sounds Negative but I am very concerned.
Thank you for your kind wishes! This will depend on whether or not the documentation you provided met the minimum requirements to submit an overseas spousal sponsorship. If not, your application may be returned. I encourage you to review the document checklist to determine if the documents you submitted were adequate. In the meantime, you may be able to submit additional documentation in support of your file which will enhance your application.
@@keyorkimmigrationlaw Thanks a lot and we were told that :-Pr application + biometric = $1130 and- work permit =$255. So total 1385 us currency.I tried to check the website but could not confirm this info for the total fees.Are those fees correct for my spousal visa Application.Is that the total fees that needs to be pay ?

Hi, can you please let me know, whether it is possible to apply for both student visa and depentent same time or is it possible for both spouse and main applicant to travel together to Canada?
Hi Shabeeb, thank you for your question - do you mean to say that if an applicant in a spousal sponsorship application can also apply for a study permit? And if the applicant can travel to Canada during the processing of a spousal?
I submit my application but forgot to make a copy of my file ,what i can do to get a review of my file? please

I was asked to submit my passport for Canada PR Visa like 2 weeks ago then days later they send me a email saying I have to wait for interview call.
Can You help what this means?
Do I have to submit passport for VISA or should I wait for an interview? In e-mail they said Within 6months. Can guide me plz?
Thanks
You should send an inquiry first through the webform or visa email depending how they communicated with you and ask if you should at this stage submit the passport or wait until after the interview. The office should respond to you.
Good information..
Can you please tell me that is it compulsory to change surname and middle name in my documents after marriage for applying Canadian spouse sponsorship? I m living in India and my husband lives in Canada . So please guide me
No it is not - its a personal choice
Hi,
I have submitted my spouse sponsorship aplication about 6 weeks ago to the Sydney office in Canada .We never got any confirmation letter.
Is that normal? How about documents which have expiry date like police certificate.
What happens if they get expired in the middle of the proccess?
I appreciate if you reply .
Thanks
Ali R it’s very normal and it can take a few months to get a confirmation letter due to backlogs and the pandemic. If IRCC determines that your docs have expired, they will simply ask for new ones.
@@keyorkimmigrationlaw thanks
Hi, ma'am. Today I received a letter of invitation pre arrival services, could you explain to me what this means? Does it mean they approved eligibility? the agent checked that my marriage is genuine ?, thank you very much :)
I want to add that I did not have an interview, are there still chances of being asked to attend an interview?
Daydreaming. This is just a standard letter that is send automatically. It does not mean approval or refusal - you will receive a final decision when the time comes.

If you the applicant are outside of Canada, you have to apply for an overseas spousal sponsorship which can take about 1 year. To apply for an inland sponsorship, you have to be physically in Canada and that can take about 1-2 years.
Hello Mem, how are you..
It's very good to see and like for new information about interview.

Hello .. my husband is a Canadian citizen and he sponsored me but I need 5 references letters. Can the reference letter b a normal one or u have to write it is different form
All references letters should be unique and describe details of your relationship and why they support your couple and immigration application. It can be typed in a word document and sign and dated.
Do u by chance have any samples so I can see
Hello mam
I am new in Canada. And I got my pr card. But I am unemployed. I want to know that when I can sponsor to my husband . Is there any income statement is required or not. Kindly guide me.
Samia Naeem You can sponsor your husband right away and there is no income requirement. You do not have to wait for the issuance of your PR card.
Hi Mam..what things should we take to the interview??
Gurpreet Kaur It is always best to bring updated supporting documentation about your relationship at the interview. This way you are demonstrating to the officer that your relationship continues and you still have a strong and genuine relationship. I also recommend you make a copy for yourself of all the documents you provide to the office, in case of a refusal, you have a copy for a possible appeal.
Okay, for the interview, is it only for inland?? Or both inland and Outland??
Interview can happen for both but a bit more frequently for overseas applications.
Keyork Immigration Law overseas mean Outland??! What if the principle applicant is not with sponsor ? So only the person being sponsored being interviewed??
@@viraltv7597 Yes overseas means outland. If there is an interview, it's the applicant who will be interviewed. In some cases, the officer may request the sponsor for the interview as well, if the sponsor is living in the same city at the time. Sometimes officers may call the sponsor over the phone to ask questions but this is rare.
I love you ❤️
There a big age gab between me and my husband
Will that affect my application
Hi Margo, as long as both of you are above the age of consent and were when you were married it will not technically have any impact on your application. However, if the difference in your ages is very significant it may be useful for the officer if you contextualize the relationship so that he understands it better, and of course including strong supporting documents so that he understands it is genuine.
24 years difference hes younger
@@margolaroche9298 The age is not an issue as long as the relationship is real and permanent. However we do like to explain the age difference in our application so we can show the officer the common joint plans of the couple despite any major age gap.

If it an overseas spousal and not an inland, you will need to submit a webform and request that the entire application be returned to you so that you can file it at the proper location as IRCC will not do internal transfers. The issue is that it may takes months before they open your envelop as it’s most likely in a mailroom in queue. Please contact our office at info@keyorkimmigrationlaw.com and we can schedule a consultation with you to further discuss. We can look into filing a new application perhaps and withdrawing the pending one so that you don’t lose so much time.
I am Bangladesh i mem thanks
Hello madam, my wife is sponsoring me, I am from Colombia and she is a Permanent Resident in Canada, we are a same-sex couple. My question is, two months ago they sent us an email requesting some documents, including the CSQ, I sent everything except the CSQ because my wife was waiting for her quotation notice but a month ago the application was sent to Quebec, But Canada has not contacted me for medical exams, it is already a month and a half of silence from them and that scares me ... I do not know if the Midi liaises with them to send the Csq when it is ready, Could you help me clarify this question? why don't they send us anything? Thank you:)
This is normal processing time. The entire spousal process can take about 1 year. Once you have the CSQ submit it to IRCC or send a webform to advise that you are currently waiting for the CSQ.
