Can the sponsor who is on pr come to visit in Pakistan while the case is processed

After the case transfer to visa office e.g LVO then he can visit Pakistan for longer than a month but make sure he get a letter from employer mentioning that he us going on vacation for one month or two month and will be back to duty on this date.
It is good to keep the trip secret till he reach back. LVO has no problem with someone staying longer in Pakistan, they just want to know that he/she is permanenlty staying or going back to canada.for which they asking Letter of intent.
If someone have vacation letter and some payable bills which he suppose to pay and cannot avoid them. Or any pending deals etx.
Means any things that show that he will come back to handle it.
Then PR can live for long. But for safe side if he want to stay for more than a month, keep it secret, get an employer letter for vacation.

Hello, I have a question for you. I'm in a process of sponsoring my wife from Pakistan. Since there is no minimum income requirement for the spousal sponsorship, which 1 of the 2 forms do I need to fill? The "FINANCIAL EVALUATION" FORM OR " SPONSORSHIP EVALUATION" FORM?

sponsor evaluation form plz

 

[posse]

hi does anyone have a letter format they use when communicating with LVO or sending them documents voluntarily? i have never sent anything before

my wife has changed her name to have my name as her last and updated her CNIC to her updated name and it also now shows me as husband. her address was also old on the previous CNIC so that has been updated also. she has also updated her Passport to reflect the new name.

just wondering if anyone can help me out with a format to use when sending them a letter/email and when submitting it through webform with all the new updated info.

2nd thing, is webform and email to LVO enough for this or do i need to snail mail it?

hi, i am copy pasting a very good and informative post by one of the admins on facebook (all credit to the admin)

Anyone who is planning on landing, here are key things you need to remember:

Before Landing:
1) Passport with stamped Immigrant Visa
2) COPR
3) CSQ (only for Quebec residents)
4) Declaration Card (you will get it inside plane. Sample

bit.ly/2yX4qO4 . Leave blank 'Purpose of Trip' in Part A, 'Duration of Stay' in Part B and whole Part C. You can fill this form in Plane)
5) Good to Bring and Goods to Follow Form, commonly known as B4 and B4A Form (can be explained in comments section if requested)
6) Food Items listed here

( cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/fpa-apa/menu-eng.html ) are strictly forbidden. Do not carry them with you or face possible fines. کینیڈا میں سب دیسی کھانا ملتا ہے
7) If bringing any form of any currencies equal to CA$10,000 or more (you should know currency conversion rates), you must declare it in Declaration Form.
8) Clothes (choose them wisely and do listen to your spouse ... PLEASE! *praying kitty*)

Procedure:
- Exit Plane and follow the signs "Arrival"
- Upon reaching Immigration area, ask any officer standing before queue that you are here to complete your "Landing" process. Officer will guide you to the Citizen/Resident line, which is usually short.
- Don't use automatic machines (they are for returning citizens and permanent residents) and insist on seeing immigration officer at desk.
- Upon reaching desk, greet them gently and inform them that you are here to complete your "landing process" and then hand them over your Passport, COPR, CSQ (if landing in Quebec) and Declaration Card. Sometimes, officer will verbally ask you about any form of currency amounting to CA$10,000 or more just to check your body language.
- Your IMM Visa will be crossed over, your documents will be returned to you. Officer will ask you to follow 'Exit' Signs.
- Collect your luggage from relevant conveyor belt (look for your flight number)
-Your Declaration card will have "IMM" written, usually with a red marker. This will indicate other Custom Officials standing before 'EXIT' signs to redirect you to "Secondary Inspection" area when you hand them over your declaration card. Your COPR will be processed there.
- In Secondary Inspection, another officer will take all of your documents and process them. You need to provide them with a Canadian address too. This is going to be a long wait if you have landed during peak time, so be patient. Use WiFi and watch some videos or talk to your spouse or something.
- Officer will return with your documents, ask you simple questions (already listed on your COPR) and ask you to sign your initials on your COPR. Make sure you go through spelling of your name and date of birth, etc, before signing. Once done, they will congratulate you on becoming Permanent Resident.
- Officer will also stamp your 'Goods to Bring' and 'Goods to Follow' forms.
- You will be redirected to a booth to set an appointment date for your medical card registration. It's a fairly easy process.
- You also need to get your Social Insurance Number (SIN). Sometimes, they have desk situated at airports. If not, go to any Service Canada office and get it from there. (They don't issue SIN cards anymore)
-Follow 'EXIT' signs and VOILA!!!!

Canadian Officials are very friendly and you will also find most of the Canadians smiling, without knowing you. Do NOT be alarmed by it, as a new resident

Best of Luck and Happy Landing Everyone!

You can upload your details on webform of mississauga first. There is an option in drop down menu says replacement, amendment of documents. Something like this.
Select it and in description write PLEASE UPLOAD THESE DOCUMENTS TO MY APPLICATION FILE.

and if you want to explain then do it in the same description space and send it.

After sending it to Mississauga, once again send it to webform .just to make sure. After file transfer to LVO , you suppose to send everything to LVO webform . But the option of amendment in documents is only in Mississauga webform

There are too many comments to go through, if anyone can let me know that would be great!
