Hi Jade, thanks for the information. With regards to proof of contact, I did 8 pages, however when it was translated, it became 19 pages, is it crucial that once its translated it has to be 10 pages or less? What happens if I send more than 10 pages of proof of contact? Thanks in advance
Hi Jade, thank you for informative videos. My question is regarding Spousal open work permit (My spouse is student in Canada). We got married after getting her student visa but we’re daring from past 3.5 years (we have chat records, travel photos, bills, etc). Should we narrate the reason of getting married after she got her student visa in the “relationship narrative/ cover letter” OR should we NOT mention anything about this ourselves? Looking forward to your suggestions.
Hi there, I’d probably have to review your situation more closely, I would just be mindful to avoid any issues of questions pertaining to past cohabitation (could be seen as common-law). Regarding the timing of the marriage you can get married whenever you want, so I don’t see a need to explain.
Hi Jade - finding your videos very useful. I am a sponsor in Canada and my husband is in another country. We are in the process of preparing our application, and wanted to ask if I am able to use scanned printed copies of the forms he signs, or is it mandatory that he couriers the original signed forms to me? Please let me know. Appreciate your help!
Jade permanent residency application submitted on August 26, under fsw program with CRS score of 513 passport request sent on January 19 am outside of Canada and it took only 4 Months to receive an approval.
Can spouse name on passport, marriage certificate from government , marriage certificate from catholic church and Photos of engagement, functions , church weddings and reception, Which has large group of people attending. be enough for proof ? On letters from family , can i get it from sibling, and parents?
In this case I would take a look at what else you have to prove your relationship. Will they write letters of support? Do you have pictures with comments on social media? The application is looked at holistically.
Thanks for the help and lovely videos Jade. qq, So just wanted to know is the 5476 representative form mandatory to fill if I am filling the outland sponsorship for my wife. I am filling most of the forms by myself and then my wife signs the forms where she needs to. Sometimes we do screenshare. I am guessing the sponsor fills the forms usually in all cases. Do we still need to fill this form. Is there a way that IRCC will know if it was the sponsor filled the form instead of the principal applicant . Regards.
The form is for when you're using someone to help you with the application, paid or unpaid. Both the sponsor and PA will have access to the application.
Hi I have a query on Joint bank accounts.How can we show interdependancy? Like for example sending money on a monthly basis to the joint account to support the spouse Also Is there any minimum amount we need to show in the Joint account from the time of opening the account?
Hi Jade, thank you for sharing valuable tips for Spousal Sponsorship program. One quick question for Relationship Letter- how long can this letter be, as per your experience with such letters. Thank you.
Hi Neha, Yes it is. If it’s not available in your country you need to include a letter of explanation and additional documentation, I also include an affidavit.
Hello, ii am living with my partner for almost a year now, and we decided to apply for common law sponsorship. Probably few months from now...unfortunately, both of us are not really fond of taking pictures and probably also bec we never think that we will be needing pictures before as we never think of this spousal sponsorship before....aside from that, the relationship started and up until now diring the pandemic when the was lockdown and we cant travel r go here and there, pkus of course the pandemic greatly affects everyone financially....how can we possibly deal with that if photos are very important part of the application?
My partner just got laid off yesterday. We are planning to submit application end of next month. Are we still eligible to apply incase she get another job by next month?
Hello Jade.I am so concerned about the fact that I did not add any letter from friends or family who knows about our relationship because a lawyer told me if I consider would help my application but they did not mention that it was a must.Would that be a red flag for refusal application?
Hi Frangy, It’s not always a must for the application, other evidence is also considered. If IRCC has additional questions, they’ll get in touch with you to request more information.
Hi Paccy, it can take months to receive acknowledgement of receipt from IRCC. I wouldn't be concerned yet since you submitted your application in December.
Hi Walid, IRCC has stated that if they sent you a COPR, but you haven’t been able to go to one of our offices in Canada to validate it, they’ll contact you to tell you what to do. Use the web form if you need to update your contact information. You can read more about this here: bit.ly/3o98SlX
It does help as far as showing the relationship is legitimate in my experience. There is a second part of the legal test that says that you need to show that the application is not filed just for the purpose of immigration.
hi Jade, my soon to be wife hasn't been able to come to Canada due to covid and travel restrictions in the last year. I've been over to her a bunch of times and we have been in other countries traveling. She hasn't had a chance to meet my family because of this. My family knows about us though. I have met her family and friends though. Do you see this as a possible issue? Thank you.
It is a good video. I am going to fill out the inland application form as soon as my future spouse arrives to Canada and we are planning to do a marriage certificate here in Canada, but I cant find the application form for open work permit? Anyone knows where it is?
You would apply for a regular open work permit through the Application for a work permit from within Canada: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/apply.html. I hope that this is helpful!
Hello Jade, greetings! I just wanted to know if some marriage 18 years old and have two kids even than they need to submit such documents as you suggest. your reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks and regards.
Hi Jade, Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the lovely videos you are creating. My wife and I met on a matrimonial website(we liked each other's profile so no parents involved). Chatted for 3 months. Then I went to my native country. Got engaged and legally married during my 3 month trip . I had a query related to IMM 5532e Part C. 1) Will this be called arranged marriage as per this question: Was your marriage arranged?. 2) If you are not living together, have you visited each other during your relationship. We met each other multiple times but only during the same visit that I was there for 3 months and not before. Was curious to know what to answer there. Thanks again for the help!
Hi there, I would call this a “love marriage”, arranged refers to those who are in more traditional cultural marriage where the parents match the couple. I think there is a bigger issue here about your visits to one another, sometimes I recommend waiting and visiting one another a few times during the relationship before you file for sponsorship. Your family should also be aware of the relationship and ideally have met the other person.
I have a fiancé in canda, she is a Canadian citizen, we are planning to get married in few months time, am in NIGERIA right now, she just sponsor her dad for the super visa, while filling the application, she made a mistake my saying she is sponsoring someone else as well, that was a total error as she is not, the application was refuse because her income is not enough to sponsor two people, so want to appeal if approve can that effect her sponsoring me
Oh no sorry to hear, generally you cannot appeal the decision of the officer, but I could take a look at the refusal. It shouldn't affect the application for the spousal application.
Hi jade how r u, hope u doing great, I came to canada Sept 2019, as a pr, now we r not longer together,me n ma wife, when I can remarry and apply for my spouse , can u guide me please, thnx in advance
Hi there, it depends on which program you came to Canada with originally, if you were sponsored you need to wait 3 years from the date of PR, if through another program then there’s no waiting time. You can email me at jade@calverimmigrationconsulting.ca to discuss.
Hi Dear MS, I hope you be well I'm a single refugee from Afghanistan 23 years old man and living in Indonesia under UNHCR organization I need a group of G5 private sponsorship from Canada unfortunately I don't have anyone in there And also I know all about the sponsorship regulations & the money which is neccessary for that but sadly I don't have someone to sponsor me could you please reply my comment that how I can find it or there's anyway!? Thank you so much and stay safe 🙏
Hi Jade, can an applicant travel out of Canada after applying for Inland spousal application? What if IRCC issues COPR while the applicant is out of Canada? I have a valid work permit though. Thanks
hello ma'am I just wanted to know something I've been talking to one of the Canada CIS but now I'm trying to call him and email him he is not responding I just wanted to know is Canada on lockdown I will be waiting for you to respond
Hi Ahamad, Canada does not have a job seeker visa. We have work permits; however, in most cases, you need a job offer from a Canadian employer to apply.
You are only talking that is possible in Canada,what. about a country like Morocco,every thing is the contrary,the Bank,no one will make you a proper receipt. With your name., it's hell on earth.
Hi Abdool, certain countries can be more difficult to obtain documentation from, we suggest often that couples look to get alternative documentation to support an application. For example, we submit many applications from Saudi Arabia where it's difficult to get documentation in the wife's name, as a result, we often look to provide more letters of support, photos, etc. and provide letters of explanation when documentation is missing. The advantage of the spousal sponsorship class is that it is a paper-based application that allows us to provide additional or alternative documentation in the absence of the requested documentation.

Such a helpful video! Thank you Jade!

Do the Canadian embassy hacks your phone records and txt message too?
Hello, Is this for inland application ?
Hi there, can the sponsored person’s occupation as a health worker help in the application process in any way?
Any news regarding COPR holders post March 18, 2020
My husband and I submitted 5 letters in total 2 on my side and 3 from his. I hope that will be enough!?
What if you don’t have any photos with friends and family
In this case I would take a look at what else you have to prove your relationship. Will they write letters of support? Do you have pictures with comments on social media? The application is looked at holistically.

@@JadeCalverThat makes sense. Thanks a lot Jade for taking your time to reply back.I truly appreciate your comment.
Hi jade, should the letter of support from friends and family should be handwritten ?
Hello Anne,
It is best that it is a typed document to ensure clarity and that way you'll be able to save digital copies.
@@JadeCalver thank you so much on your response. It’ll be a great help for my spousal sponsorship
