hi all,

Greetings! It seems a lot of experts in this thread; thus, I would like to ask some of my doubts to get clarification.

Brief details about my issue:
I am about to get PR but my wife name in an application as a non-accompanying member. However, during my PR process, she also went through medical and PCC as requested by CIC. My plan is to bring her with me through visitor visa when I land and then apply PR through spousal sponsorship category. She currently works in a different country than her nationality. Well, when I land I will get regular income ( not more than 2300CA$ per month) for next 2 years from another country. In addition, I can also work in Canada. It is worthwhile to mention that I have enough bank balance to prove my financial status. We both are Ph.D. degree holders from an English speaking country universities, so academically and financially have positive point.

My questions are:

Is it a problem to bring her through visitor visa during my landing?

Is it a problem to get a visitor visa for a spouse when the husband is a PR?

Thank you in advance.

Why not immediately switch her to accompanying? Save the money of a new application, and she can enter Canada once she has her COPR whenever she wants...

She can collect her PR as long as the medical is valid. So waiting a few months is ok usually...

Anyway, there could be an issue with a visitor visa, as they may wonder about her overstaying or what would draw her to leave with you here..

You may want to check into the thread which has more people in your situation (PNP, etc).

Hi Guys,

I have a question about my Inland PR application and hopefully someone can answer..

My application was received by CIC on May 8th, 2016. Application was sent when I had no status so I am just sitting here and wait...

My question is that I have done my medical on May 26th,2016 so it's been over a year now. However, when I logged into Mycic(I linked my application), it said that I did pass medical.

Should I still re-do my medical as it's been a year? I really don't want anything to slow down my application...

Thank you

No need. As you passed it already! May applicant here too.. they're still in April so hopefully they get to us soon.

Over 13 months... No medical exam request, no AIP, SA, no nothing. Our application can't be done very soon (people here talk 13.5month) because doesn't medical exam take some time to do and they to process.

It can be processed within a couple days and there are those who get a decision made couple days after medical also.

Congratulations Maria, given a July, 16 one, that was quick. Cheers. Still waiting for June 01

Thanks a lot, Sam. I believe it was a fortunate combination of luck, solid research before submitting the app and a high compatibility in regards to the age and cultural background between my husband and I , also a lot of time spent together before me moving here.
May this week bring all of you guys a DM in your ECAS

Clearly, congrats are in order, of course. You're landing next week! Don't do what my wife did -- don't get all worked up about "going to the immigration office". And probably not a good idea to laugh when they start asking the questions we know they will ask .

Most importantly, enjoy that time, as once you have that COPR, really, only a judge can take it from you!

Speaking about COPR... it stands for conditional PR, right? But since condition 51 is waived, what are the other "conditions" you have to meet?
And yeah, I am a lil nervous about meeting in person immigration officers... and also about how my pictures that I have to bring in will look like - scared squirrel -

COPR is the sacred document that you cannot ever lose. They tell you not to lose it, spill coffee on it, laminate it, nothing.

yes, they told us even if you get citizenship in the future, you should keep your COPR and CSQ for the rest of your life.

LMAO!

My wife did hers twice, and still hated them. She opted to use the first set she had done. I did tell her, and I will tell you, it's for government ID only. Only the CBSA will see those...
