Spousal sponsorship

[marioB96]

Hi Guys, Just wondering who receives the AOR. The sponsor or the applicant? I am sponsoring my wife and i received an email confirming my application to sponsor has been received.

Is this the AOR email or is there another one that the sponsor will receive?

Thanks!

Yes, that email should have your UCI(sponsor) and the application number.
You can link it now to your IRCC account.

Hello everyone,
does anyone has experience with Ankara visa office? Do you know if it is one of fast visa offices or a slow one? Our file is sent to Ankara visa office.

Hello,
I have a question about biometrics. We received request for biometrics for PA and went to VAC to submit one. They said that because PA is over 80 years old, he is exempt and their system does not accept his information. Biometrics request letter is dated after PA birthday. So I am not sure why they sent us one when he is exempt?
any one had similar situation? What should we do?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Just a mistake, it happens. Open a webform and inform that cannot give biometrics as over 79 years old. It might take a month or more to get a response, but don't worry, it'll proceed in parallel (and eventually they'll mark the box that means biometrics not required or whatever).

Hi Friends,

We have received IMM 5604e form to be filled and signed by non accompanying parent.

My wife has sole custody of the child with all rights only to her with NO access or NO visitation right to the divorced Ex-husband. Should we still need to get this document(IMM 5604) signed from the ex husband who has NO custody or NO access or visitation right to the child?

Is this form still required in this case?

Please let me know if anyone has fallen in this situation. Can my wife sign the IMM 5604 document by herself in this case while she's the only only parent who has all the custodial right?

Please help with this enquiry.

Regards

Thanks Armoured for the response. I sent a request through case specific form and attached documents showing that we did book appointment and did go to VAC.
Now, it is only medical. I don’t know if being over 80 exempt applicant from medical as well or not. For now we have booked an appointment for medical. I wish that one was waived because it costs a lot.

It does not, at least not as far as I'm aware.

Let's start with this: do you think the ex-spouse would actually sign it?

Because obviously, this will be easier if you can get that letter.

If not: I could opine that I don't think it should be needed etc but the reality is, you probably need a lawyer.

Because:
1) The issue of parental rights is not so simple and in some countries, it may not be obvious that the person who has custody also has the right to remove the child from that jurisdiction. (No-one on this board could give a complete list of countries nor be able to comment knowledgeably without specifics about what your custodial/parental rights arrangements allow). I say this with a bit of experience as I do know of countries where only a specific court decision or agreement removing/renouncing all parental rights would allow this - even if the other parent is barely involved.

2) When you/your lawyer respond saying you cannot / will not provide that form, you're going to need the lawyer to make the best, succinct and coherent legal case that the parental rights you have (those your spouse does not have) also mean, unequivocally, that the custodial parent has the right to remove the child from the country without the other spouse's consent.

That said, others may know better based on country etc and possibly a letter would convince IRCC. But I'd get prepared by speaking to a lawyer.
