Spousal sponsorship

Question about spousal sponsorship immigration.

If my spouse and I applied for immigration previously, it was approved for both of us. I came to Canada to live. On the other hand, she stayed in our home country (due to her employment and elderly parents) and didn't came to Canada to keep her PR status. Fast forward several years, can she apply for spousal sponsorship?

I recently applied for my PR through the inland common-law/spouse sponsorship program. We paid the work permit and open work permit fee with the initial application we submitted online. Do I also need to submit a separate work permit application now, or is it a part of the application process for PR? I also already applied for an extension on my visitor record so as to not have to leave the country while it is being processed and am not sure if I can have two separate applications at the same time (for both visitor and work permit).

Hi everyone,

Has anyone from Pakistan applied for Spousal Sponsorship application in such a way that they do a Nikah ceremony in Pakistan and apply for spousal sponsorship and then after the approval of sponsorship go back to Pakistan and do big wedding and Valima ceremonies?

I heard that one need to show two separate events in spousal application representative of Wedding and Valima Ceremonies. I will appreciate if anyone can advise.

Thank you.

Hi Experienced Members,

I currently have the visitor visa for canada and I am waiting for ECOPR but have to make an unavoidable travel soon outside the country.

Will I be able to travel back on the visitor visa in case I do not receive ECOPR?

Any suggestions on what will be wise here is much appreciated, Thanks!

You will have to pay all these fees, if you don't pay right of permanent residence now, you'll end up paying it later.

Biometrics: basically they take fingerprints of applicant. It's paid for separately.
