The PGP sponsorship for the year 2020 is not open yet. When it opens, you can sponsor them while they will be living in Canada. They can submit their applications and supporting documents from Canada or anywhere else. Make sure they do not go beyond the entry allowed in Canada. Send them back or extend their status until PR application is finalized. To get landed, they can go out of Canada and enter again upon receipt of COPR or they can arrange appointment at a local immigration office or can avail at flag poling.

Usually a visitor under super visa category gets entry for two years. It could be less if the passport and visa is going to expire less than two years or a visitor does not show required insurance at port of entry for super visa and CBSA officer can allow entry of maximum 6 months.
-
You are correct that UCI always remains same for the person. Each time an applicant submits application gets a different application number but Unique Client Identity (UCI) remains the same. In your case your parents may have added surname or somehow never reported applied/visited Canada earlier; therefore, their UCI may have changed.
-
Prior to January 2014, the length of undertaking for sponsorship of parents and their accompanying dependents was 10 years. After January 2014, the length of undertaking was increased to 20 years. In your case, your parents and two brothers landed in Canada in October 2010; therefore, it has not been a full 10 years since they became permanent residents. As a result, your parents and two brothers will be included in your total family size. Your total family size is 12 members and the required income for the year 2020 for super visa is $103,518. The required income for 12 members for the year 2020 for permanent residence sponsorship is $131,555.
If you decide to file your parental sponsorship application after October 2020, then your family size will be 8 members (your parents and two brothers would not be included). Hence, the required the income for 8 members for the year 2020 for super visa is: 75,582 and the required income for the year 2020 for permanent residence sponsorship is $96,049.

The procedure to give your biometrics is composed of the following 3 steps:
1 ) You must pay the biometrics fee ($85) when you submit your application.
2 ) After you pay the biometrics fee, you will get a letter confirming that you need to give your biometrics and where you can go. You will need to bring this letter along with your valid passport to your biometric appointment.
3 ) Go to an official biometrics collection service point to give your biometrics in person.

There could be several reasons, e.g. check the expiry of their passports, the passports expiry date will be approaching soon. The person who filled out their applications for TRV, may have requested only six months single entry visa even though IRCC generally issues for 10 years multiple entry to visitors. Another reason could be that even if your grandparents were holding super visa, they may not have shown specified insurance for super visa; therefore, the CBSA officer allowed them entry for only six months.
-
Since your father lived 9 years without any status in Canada; therefore, a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) was required to overcome the inadmissibility of your father to Canada. It seems that your father’s TRP has been accepted; therefore, the super visa application shows withdrawn. Your father may be allowed to visit you for a short term in Canada, not necessarily 2 years as allowed in provisions of super visa.
-
Yes, you can invite your mother and 13 years old sister for a short visit to Canada. You will send them invitation letter (Statutory Declaration) signed by you and commissioned by a Commissioner of Oaths or a Notary Public along with your financial support documents, and proof of permanent residence (PR Card copy), proof of accommodation, supporting documents for reason of visit (Gurdawara booking for house warming ceremony or Banquet Hall booking for wedding anniversary or birthday anniversary) etc.
Your mother and sister will submit applications for temporary resident visa along with supporting documents, e.g. proof of funds (bank savings a/c or fixed deposit receipts), proof of earnings (job letter, business registration, J forms of a farmer), identity documents, family ties affidavits and submissions letter addressing why a visa should be issued to them. Our firm provides these services, if you need our services, we will be glad to serve you. Your mother and sister will email us documents and signed authorization forms (IMM 5476). For documents required, you can visit and view checklist on our website ‘crownimmigration.com’.

You can apply for name change and obtain a certificate from your province, e.g. Registrar General Ontario. You need to have completed one year of physical residence in Ontario before submitting your name change application. You need your original birth certificate and notarized translation along with the name change application. Apart from this you need passports, PR Card, Driver’s Licence or Provincial Identity, and your marriage certificate.
-
You are most welcome. Take care of your father, we wish him speedy recovery. Whenever you have any question about immigration, post it over the forum as our 5 admins are always watching the forum and ready to respond to questions even at odd hours. Good Luck !
-
Your parents have got their visas after a big struggle of 5 refusals. I do not suggest you should request to extend their stay in Canada. Better would be let them go now and hopefully they would have multiple entry visa, so they can come few days before your birthday.
-
PR Card is not a status document, it is a token to board a commercial vehicle (air plane, ship, boat, ferry, train, bus, truck, tow truck, taxi etc.) to come to Canada. Once the lockdown opens, you can come to USA since you have a valid visa. From USA you can come to border of Canada in a non-commercial vehicle and CBSA officer can hopefully allow you entry upon reviewing the explanation and medical documents for your father’s illness. You will not be allowed to board the plane directly to Canada. Once you are in Canada and eligible (730 Days condition s-28 of IRPA) for submitting your application to renew your PR Card, you can go ahead with your plans. We wish Good Health and Long Life for your father !
-
It would be courtesy of your parents that they will look after your children otherwise you can arrange a nanny for taking care of your children either from within Canada or abroad. Your parents can request for extension of their status in Canada to spend more time with their grandchildren. The way you are suggesting the reason, an officer may think the parents will be working even without pay because it will be benefitting you. An officer may refuse the extend stay application with that presumption.
-
Sorry, this option is only open for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. You have to wait until getting landed status. If you wish, you can invite them on a temporary resident visa (visitor visa).
-
If you are planning to sponsor your grandparents to Canada for permanent residence, the officer will look at your personal income (you can call it net income but it may not be same as net income of business) which will be reported to CRA on line 150 of your notice of assessment. You can combine income of your wife reported at line 150 of her notice of assessment. This income will be specified in the MNI chart which is 30% more than the LICO chart prepared by Statistics Canada and used by IRCC.
-
I would suggest that send us the application and supporting documents your brother submitted for TRV. We can assess and give our opinion after reviewing the documents. I will not suggest to postpone the house warming ceremony. If your brother will not have a copy of the application, we can access his records through ATIP. We need his authorization and a nominal fee for administration and reviewing. Once we are sure what was missing in the application, your brother can try on your birthday, marriage, anniversary, or any other occasion related to your family members.
-
We can draft and commission a statutory declaration for you to invite your brother to visit in Canada. The reason you will tell us why you want to invite your brother, e.g. birthday, graduation, marriage, marriage anniversary, house warming etc.
The reason of visit on its own does not make the application stronger because there are other factors to be considered as well such as: financial status of the inviter, financial status of the applicant, family ties to Canada and the country of the applicant, job or business status of the applicant, reliability of savings or resources, previous travel history, etc.
-
No doubt, IRCC is issuing visas to visitors in high numbers but visas are refused as well. I don’t suggest that you should put all of your eggs in one basket. An officer can refuse TRV on the basis of family ties to home country India. If all family members reach Canada, there will not be a reason to return. Try mother or father first or mother and sister first and then father.
-
Whatever income and savings you have will be fine to invite your parents to Canada for a short term stay. IRCC understands that you are being supported and funded by your parents for your study in Canada. The officer will be looking for income and savings of your parents as compared to yours.
-
I agree with you that if your brother is not earning much he will not have much chances of obtaining a visa. He will rather be responsible for the possible refusal of your mother’s TRV. Try for mother alone and let her visit you. Upon mother’s return, you can try for brother separately. I don’t understand the logic of agent suggesting adding 21 years old brother in the application along with mother.
-
You can invite your relatives, friends, and acquaintances for a short term visit to Canada. The closer the relationship with you, the greater the chances of obtaining a temporary resident visa.
-
If you have a rental agreement that shows you have enough space for the proposed visitors, it will be helpful. But it is not mandatory because you might be living somewhere and the proposed visitors will be visiting you for a short stay. If you do not have enough space during their short stay in Canada, they or you can book a place for them on Airbnb and they can show that to the CBSA officer at the port.
-
The CBSA officer at port has authority to grant entry to anyone upon examination. Generally, visitors get 6 months entry and super visa holders 2 years but it depends upon the examination of CBSA officer. If officer does not get satisfied, he/she can send a person back in the same flight or detain the person concerned. If a person concerned is sent to a detention centre, the person is presented before the member of IRB within 24 hours. The decision is given by the panel member if the person should be released or detention should continue. If a person leaves Canada within 24 hours, then officer does not write report on the person and the person concerned can come to Canada next time without obtaining ARC.
If a person is considered at flight risk, he/she is detained then their first review will happen within 24 hours. The second review will be after 7 days and then every 30 days after the second review. If the person concerned has a guarantor, an early review for release can be requested. The person concerned can be bailed out based on their performance or the cash bond.
-
First of all check if they have valid legal status to date. Generally, a visitor gets entry for 6 months and a super visa holder for 2 years. If they are in status, you don’t need to worry. If they have 6 months or more status in Canada on a super visa, then their application for PR may be processed as per your calculations. If their status is going to expire soon (if 6 months general visitor), extend their status quickly. If they have lost their status, quickly restore their status. If you can do it by yourself, then good-luck, otherwise you may retain our services.
-
Your question is easy but answer is not that easy. First of all when your sister applied for a temporary resident visa, why she did not apply for a work permit, I need an answer for it. Secondly, what kind of job or experience she filled in the application, I need to know. Thirdly, what kind of work permit she is looking for, I need to know, e.g. a child care worker, an elderly support worker, farm worker etc. Last but not least, I need to know her educational qualification and English language skills if she has ever written an IELTS (Academic or General). Get her application for TRV and all the documents then I can provide my opinion.
-
Instead of going to border, if your brother-in-law may have applied while working in Dubai or if he may have filed online application even after coming to Canada, the outcome would have been different. The CBSA officers use their discretion at the border. If a person applies online, an officer has more time to look at the application and make decision as compared to an officer at the border who will only observe a few documents. Your brother-in-law might have provided contradictory information to the officer at the border that he did not believe him and his purpose of visit. Due to big contradictions on his application for temporary residence that he filed outside before coming to Canada and in person responses at the border, the CBSA officer cancelled his 10 years multiple entry visa.
Further, you can try for a study permit for your sister-in-law. If she receives a study permit, then brother-in-law could be her dependant spouse for future applications. Your brother-in-law is lucky that he is not given exclusion order otherwise he could have become inadmissible for one year.
-
You will use income of line 150 from your notice of assessment for inviting someone to visit in Canada or for sponsoring for permanent residence in Canada. If you are married, you can add the income of line 150 for your spouse as well.
-
If you have proof of income or savings, it would be helpful otherwise you are being supported by your parents for your studies. The parents need to show their income and savings when submitting their application for temporary resident visa.
-
The kinds of Removal Orders are based on the Grounds of Inadmissibility. For example,
1) Departure Order (IRPR s224):- This is the least serious kind of removal order. A person who receives this removal order is supposed to leave Canada within 30 days. The person concerned can return to Canada if he/she fulfills the requirements of IRPA in the future. If person concerned does not leave Canada, the removal order turns into deportation order.
2) Exclusion Order (IRPR s225):- The person concerned has to leave Canada immediately upon receipt of exclusion order. The person concerned can not return to Canada for a year. The person concerned needs Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC). If the reason is misrepresentation, the ban is for 5 years.
3) Deportation Order (IRPR 226):- This is the most serious kind of removal order. The person concerned will leave Canada or will be expelled from Canada. The person concerned needs Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC).
-
First of all, each person’s scenario is different than that of others. If it took more than two and half years for your friend, he may not have answered questionnaire properly. If you want to save little money no one will stop you from doing that. I can only suggest that you should seek assistance from an immigration professional whose fee in return will provide you easy and tension free life.
-
First of all who signs an application is responsible for the contents provided. Secondly, you might have provided the address, travel, and work history to the travel agent for renewal of your PR card application. Thirdly, if the travel agent would have ICCRC licence and immigration experience, he might have caught the issue in the beginning. Last but not least, some how you have provided indication that you did not stay with your husband upon reaching in Canada. This is called misrepresentation and who commits misrepresentation may face serious consequences for this section under IRPA. If questionnaire is not dealt with seriousness, you will end up spending thousands of dollars and wastage of time. You may be declared inadmissible and ultimately deported from Canada.
-
Your grandparents should see a Designated Medical Professional (DMP) as soon as possible to perform their medical examination, in the given specified time. If they think, they have already got their status extended and there is no need to appear for medical examination, they are ignoring the requirements of IRCC. In future, they will face refusals on the basis of non-compliance with the instructions of an officer who extended their status now.
-
A male applicant can also apply and obtain work permit and ultimately permanent residence in Canada as a nanny/caregiver/ support worker.
-
Whenever a visitor knocks the door at any border (land, sea, or airport), a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer conducts examination of a visitor. The questions are asked who is he/she visiting, where staying, how will support himself/herself, funds at disposal, any invitation letter etc. If a visitor will have a sworn statutory declaration, it will make his/her life easy. A tired visitor will satisfy the officer and will be free quickly.
-
There is no limit on an inviter to send Statutory Declarations to his/her relatives or friends. An inviter should have resources to accommodate the proposed visitors. Moreover, the inviter knows how many invitation letters he/she has sent. The Canadian High Commission does not keep track of these matters. The track is kept for permanent residence sponsorships and super visa.
-
Your brother can try for a visitor visa for USA once he comes to visit you in Canada. I would suggest he should try from India which is his country of permanent residence. He will be able to provide his identity and economic establishment documents easily. If he will have his necessary information for filling out online application, he can do it upon his arrival in Canada. He may or may not get an appointment at the Embassy or the Consulate General’s office during his short stay in Canada.
-
Your mother should see a Designated Medical Professional (DMP) as soon as possible to perform the medical examination, in the given specified time. If she thinks, she has already got her status extended and there is no need to appear for medical examination, she is ignoring the requirements of IRCC. In future, she will face refusals on the basis of non-compliance with the instructions of an officer who extended her status now.
-
Don’t be naive, it seems like your wife has complained against you to Immigration department of Canada that you left her after obtaining status in Canada through her. You may become entrapped in misrepresentation under section 40 IRPA. This questionnaire is not a simple questionnaire; seek assistance from a professional in order to fill it out and submit it to the office with detailed submissions. If you do not fill out the questionnaire properly, you could face severe consequences such as deportation; therefore, do not ignore this letter and take it very seriously.
-
The removal orders become effective as follows:
1.) The day the removal order is issued and when there is no right of appeal
2.) When the time allowed for an appeal expires. In this case, the applicant has right of appeal but the applicant does not exercise his right of appeal.
3.) The day the appeal decision is made; if the right of appeal is exercised.
-
Firstly, get a recent photograph of yourself without a turban with your recent appearance and then fill out the passport renewal application. Upon receipt of your passport, fill out PR Card renewal application. In addition to the photographs, you will also need affidavit which states that you are the same person who was wearing a turban earlier. Crown Immigration can commission an affidavit for you.
-
If your income meets the LICO figure for the last year and have Notice of Assessment, you should invite your parents on a super visa instead of temporary resident visa.
Hon. Minister of Immigration by using his Ministerial Authority (OB357), given in IRPA in section 15(4) launched super visa on December 01, 2011. It is an optional process according to which Canadian citizens and permanent residents can invite their parents and grandparents to Canada on a temporary resident status. Each entry of parents can be granted for up to two years unless the validity of the passport or super visa is for a lesser period.

Basically foreign nationals (FN) who are inadmissible or who do not meet the requirements of Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) or Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), may make a written request for consideration under section 25(1) of IRPA.
If a foreign national is in Canada and wants to get an exemption based on Humanitarian & Compassionate or public policy consideration (IMM-5283), it must be accompanied by an application for permanent residence (IMM-0008). The application must be submitted according to requirements specified under R10 of IRPR.
If applicant is overseas, (s)he must use one of the existing departmental application for the 3 immigration classes namely: family class, economic class, and refugee class. Additional written information submissions are also required to support the request for consideration under subsection A25(1). There are some restrictions with respect to examination of H&C applications. Contact our office if you or a family member may be eligible for H&C application, we can assess and give our opinion after assessment.
-
You will have to apply for Canadian citizenship search letter from IRCC. It takes 10 to 12 months approximately when you will receive it after applying.
-
The minimum requirements for Federal Skilled Worker are:
1.) Skilled Work Experience: you must have at least one year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) experience in the last ten years. This work experience must be in a skilled occupation listed in Skill Type 0, A, or B.
2.) Language Ability: You must meet or exceed CLB level 7 with a IRCC-designated language testing organization.
3.) Education: You must provide a Canadian education credential or a foreign educational credential with an ECA from a designated organization.

-
If you are eligible for super visa, you can invite your mother but you cannot invite your sister under the same category. If you wish to invite your sister, you can do so on a temporary resident visa.
-
Since January 2014, a sponsor is required to provide income for the past 3 years before submitting a sponsorship application for parents & grandparents. Until 2011, it used to be that you only need to show income for the past 12 months. In 2011, the parents and grandparents sponsorships were paused and were reopened in January 2014 with lots of changes.
-
Choose an experienced heart surgeon and get your grandparents assessed by that surgeon. As soon as you receive the report from the heart surgeon, contact your immigration consultant or lawyer who can look at the medical report and assess the excessive demand criteria. Next, send your response to the officer who sent you the procedural fairness letter. If your submissions address the issue raised by IRCC, then your grandparents will receive permanent residence. If not, your maternal grandparents will receive a refusal letter to which you can respond by filing an appeal. At the immigration appeal division, you can argue your case on the basis of humanitarian and compassionate considerations. If your submissions are strong, you can save money and time by not going to the appeal division.
-
The imprinted QR code is a security feature that we implemented because unauthorized agents were forging the statutory declarations solemnized by us. We came to know of this through IRCC when we were asked to verify the authenticity of those forged statutory declarations. Since then we started imprinting the security feature QR code along with information which cannot be removed from the page. If a person forges the names on the declaration, the officer may detect it by just scanning the code to check whether that QR code belongs to that person or not. Whenever there is a doubt, IRCC contacts us and asks us for a quick verification to which we respond to on an urgent basis.
-
Well, you have some confusion that your sponsorship application was approved by CPC Mississauga. Actually, your sponsorship was declined due to a shortage of MNI but you might have ticked “proceed even if you don’t qualify”; therefore, your application was sent overseas. The visa officer has now made a decision and refused the application of your parents. You can appeal the decision based on your financial and humanitarian circumstances.
-
Make sure the application is completed properly, signed, and dated. Double check the dates & other important information, submit the documents as per the required checklists. If possible clarify any issues in your case in a submission letter so that the reviewing team does not send it back to you or requests documents from you multiple times. Last but not least, you can retain a professional immigration consultant or a lawyer who are experts and do these jobs on a regular basis.
-
It depends upon various factors such as: education, age, experience, and timing of the year. If you have found any guaranteed job there, you can move to those provinces but seek an appointment with an Immigration expert and make sure if going there is worthwhile for you or whether you can get PR in the province you are currently residing in.
-
If you choose to sponsor your mother alone, you will still have to meet the MNI, medical examination, and police clearance requirements for both your father & mother. However, if your father is inadmissible for medical & security reasons, then regardless of whether your mother meets these requirements, she would also be considered inadmissible. If your father is inadmissible, then the sponsor can appeal the decision.
-
No, you cannot sponsor your cousin as she does not qualify under any immigration class. However, you can invite your cousin to Canada as a visitor.
-
Pursuant to section 117(1) of IRPR, the following qualify under the family class:
- Spouse, common-law or conjugal partner
- Dependent child (including adopted children)
- Parent
- Grandparent
- Sibling, nephew, niece, or grandchild under 18 years who is unmarried and whose parents are deceased
-
You mother may be eligible to apply with Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application. The Minister may look at the individual circumstances and grant permanent resident status to your mother. Section 25 of IRPA has provision for the H&C factors. Please seek appointment from my office and see me to discuss the matter in detail.
-
You fall under exception given in section 28(2)(ii) of (Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). You will not lose your status even if your PR card will expire while staying in India for an extended period of time. You can renew your PR Card from India or you can return Canada upon obtaining travel document from High Commission of Canada.
Further, your future children will get Canadian status even if they will be born in India due to your husband’s Canadian citizenship status.
-
When did you get married?
-
You can find your UCI on your Permanent Resident card. It contains either 8 or 10 digits. You can also find your UCI from the correspondence that you received from IRCC.
-
If you are eligible, you can search for the application for Canadian citizenship online. You can then fill out, pay, and send your application.
-
You do not need a name change certificate as you only need a sworn affidavit (by a notary or commissioner for oaths) along with the application to renew your Indian passport. I hope it would serve your purpose.
If the consulate general of India does not accept this, then you would have to submit an application to the Registrar General of Ontario for name change. Upon the receipt of the name change certificate, you can make an application for the renewal of your Indian passport.
If you want to send a name change application to the Registrar General of Ontario, you need to prove that you have been residing in Ontario for at least one year.
Once you will get your passport as you want to see your surname reflected, you will need to change your other identities and study or work permit accordingly.
-
Yes, it is possible to get admission into certain institutions without having completed IELTS.
-
Yes, if your parents have a valid reason for extension then they should submit their application as soon as possible along with the supporting documents.
-
Yes, you can but do not wait till the last minute.
-
The versions of the applications change often but in your case it seems like there is a problem of residency obligation on your part or you did not fill out the PR card application properly. Respond to the questionnaire properly if you can yourself or seek professional assistance from a Consultant or Lawyer. Otherwise you would face complications and it would be a waste of your money.
-
The eTA is valid for 5 years or till the expiration of your passport, whichever comes first.
-
Earlier PR Cards contained signatures or thumb impressions of card holders but it is not the case anymore. These days signatures or thumb impressions etc. are not imprinted on PR cards. Your mother’s PR card is OK, you do not need to take any action.
-
No, there is no age limit for H&C applications. The H&C applications are based on multiple factors including age.
-
Canada started biometrics services in some countries in 2013. These services were extended to Europe, Middle East, and Africa on July 31, 2018. Further, Asia, Asia Pacific, and America were included on December 31, 2018. Biometrics services in Canada were started on December 02, 2019, through service Canada Centres. Now biometrics are mandatory for temporary and permanent residence applications.
-
It is better not to take any overlapping courses because if the schedule for both of the courses fall on same days, then it would be problematic for the student. I suggest you should check with the college for schedules, if the college is the same for both courses. If the student has chosen courses in different colleges, then he/she should cooperate with the colleges and inquire about the schedules as soon as possible. If the overlap is not sorted out, make sure the course is taken in the coming intake. Furthermore, if the college has no objection for both the courses, then most likely there won’t be a problem. But, contact the college as soon as possible to avoid any conflict.
-
Yes, you can apply to obtain the confirmation of Permanent Residence document. The processing time is approximately 4-6 weeks.
-
The online application for PR Card is not available at present. The IRCC tried it in June 2018 but it was paused after a few weeks, maybe for some technical reasons. Currently you must fill out a paper application which can be found at the following link:
You must also pay the fee online by creating an account and then mail the application to the address provided in the checklist.
-
The processing fee for Permanent Resident Card is $50. The time it takes to get your PR card depends on the caseload at the processing centre as the processing time keeps fluctuating. However, the current approximate time frame is 6-8 weeks but it keeps changing.
-
Inderpreet, as Bavneet responded, online application for Canadian citizenship is not available at present but may be possible in the near future.
-
A stay from removal is granted in the following circumstances:-
1) If the Minister grants stay
2) If there is a pending judicial review
3) If there is a pending appeal to IAD
Apart from the above, if the person concerned reports regularly to CBSA as scheduled, keeps peace and good behaviour record, makes reasonable efforts to seek full-time employment and gets integrated in the society.
-
The governments and the immigration department is fully aware of the Covid-19 situation. Moreover, it is not mandatory to go on a honeymoon to far away places like Mumbai & Dubai. The main point is that if you live together as husband and wife and try to understand each other then even pictures you take at your house, in your garden or backyard will be sufficient. I hope these pictures will suffice and satisfy an officer who would be examining your application. But make sure you send all the other supporting documents along with your application.
-
Yes, the process in Canada and outside Canada is a bit different, that’s why my answer would have varied. For example, here in Canada, you might have obtained a marriage license from the city which was signed by the priest or authority who solemnized your wedding. As mentioned earlier, the authority or priest would submit the documents to Registrar General of Ontario and then you can apply to receive your marriage certificate.
On the other hand, in India, for example, the marriage takes place and then a couple goes to register it and then the marriage certificate is issued by the designated authority. If you happen to be in India, your spouse might have to return to Canada (upon the resumption of international flights) and then your spouse will be able to submit the application for you. In India you can obtain a marriage certificate the same day or the next day. Usually there is no delay. But in Ontario, it sometimes takes up to 4 weeks or more. In the previous years, the solemnization of record was acceptable by CIC for submitting a sponsorship application. But this is not the case anymore.
I hope your spouse flew to India immediately upon receiving his PR Card.
-
The person who performed your marriage will send the marriage solemnization record to the Registrar General of Ontario. Then you can apply to obtain a certificate of your marriage. Upon receipt of marriage certificate, your spouse can sponsor you.
-
May I know whether both of you are in Canada or outside of Canada?
