Spousal Sponsorship Interview Questionaires, Experience, Preparations

[YVR123]

are you a spousal condidate?

The section of the forum is about family sponsorship. So likely people are being sponsored as spouse/common law partner by their PR/citizen spouses/partners.

Not sure what you mean by candidtate.

Reschedule most likely take much longer time.

Reschedule most likely take much longer time.

Reschedule the flight is probably easier.

Hello,

I have sponsored my wife through the spousal sponsorship program and we are finally landing in Toronto later this month.

We just wanted to get up to speed with regards to the procedures to follow and the preparedness needed for landing.

Is there any specific information or documents we must have handy when facing immigration at landing for the first time, for example bank statements with proof of funds?

Also, since we will only be carrying our personal luggage with no plans to ship any household effects later, do we still need to fill out the BSF186 form at landing or not?

Are there any particular questions from the immigration officials we or my wife must be prepared to answer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

You don't need proof of funds for spousal sponsorship.

Hi,

I sponsored my spouse in January 2024. Medical was done in November and after that we received additional questions related to our marriage. Since then no response from CIC since then. We ordered GCMS which shows last notes stating An interview is required to further assess the bona fides of the relationship. We have not received any letter about interview yet? Does anyone else have similar experience?

It can take months to get an interview and longer in areas where there are no IRCC offices.
