Dear Members,
I am a Canadian citizen (permanent residence)who is temporarily living in the Philippines. I am in the process of sponsoring my wife as a PR. I Fedexed our application package to Mississauga on May 22, 2009. As of yet we have not heard from them. We have not received an acknowledgment that they have received our application. Am I being impatient?
Any insight into the time frame would be helpful.
Thank you

Time line for spousal sponsorship (in reply to: Time line for spousal sponsorship)
Peter, it is unclear whether you are a Canadian citizen or a Permanent Resident?
If you are a Permanent Resident you must be residing in Canada to sponsor your spouse, if a Canadian Citizen it is ok to be overseas during the sponsorship process.
The first stage approval (sponsor approval) is done in Mississauga Ontario and the normal time is approximately six weeks. You should hear something any day now. After the sponsor approval your wifes file will be sent to Manila for approval where with a bit of luck you should get her visa in about 4 to 5 months.
I have just read an interesting article in the Toronto Star, the refusal rate for spousal sponsorships in Manila is 9%
So you have a better than 90% chance of approval,just be sure to prove your relationship is genuine and you have intermingled your affairs.
Good luck,
Mr. Magoo.

Dear Mr.Magoo,
Thank you most kindly for your encouraging reply. I am a Canadian citizen with a resident in Canada. Hopefully we will be among the 90% approved. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to share the information.

Hi Peter, you are very welcome. I am sure you will have no problem with your application. Those that do from what I have seen appear very suspicious, even to me.
My friend here in Naga sponsored his wife to Toronto. He got sponsor approval in about 6 weeks and she got her visa in just under 5 months.
Where are you in the Philippines? Where is your home in Canada. I have a home about 3 hours East of Toronto.
Wish you luck
Regards,
Mr. Magoo

Mr. Magoo (in reply to: Time line for spousal sponsorship)
Good morning Mr. Magoo,
I hope my wife and I have the same luck as your friend in Naga. Our marriage was very straightforward with no impediments or complications. It was solemized in a Catholic church with all the necessary legal documents. We are both highly trained professionals. Yet having said all this, it has been six weeks now and not a word from Immigration Canada.
We are in Manila. My home in Canada is approximately 21/2 hours outside of Toronto,in the Kingston-Belleville area.
Thanks for your encouraging words.
Peter

Timeline for spousal sponsorship: (in reply to: Time line for spousal sponsorship)
Hi Peter, my goodness what a small world. I have a house on 3 acres just South of Cloyne Ontario, about 2 1/2 hours East of Toronto and about 1 hour North of Belleville.
It is a small bungalow but land backs onto a lake, I have been renovating it and we hope to live there if we are successful. I wont submit our application until September and after I submit the application I will return to Canada for a couple of months.
I am sure you application will be successful, you should be getting sponsorship approval any day now. Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Raymond.

Hi Raymond,
You are right, it is indeed a small world. I am closer to Napanee than Bellville. I have a house that is literally a stone´s throw from Lake Ontario.
I hope your application in September is processed quickly and smoothly.
Best of Luck!
Peter
