Hi, When you submit these evidences am I supposed to put them in the client information column ?
How to demonstrate we have strong evidence of financial and professional ties, family ties when we apply together?
Hi Jade, thanks for the informative video. I have one question. Is it mandatory to have spouse’s birth certificate in order to sponsor her (inland spousal sponsorship)
how many times do you think one must visit the person who they want to sponsor to make it all look legit ?
Hello jade thank you so much for ur information i just want to ask you something
My husband actually living in QUEBEC as you know there is CSQ additional file + IRCC file because of covid we waited too much finally we got AOR i advise my husband to leave the province before the final submission we don’t want to do the CSQ so my question is does the IRCC check the addresses registered ( because he will live with his friend) and do this movement effect the processing?
Hi Jade,
I'm Canadian in the UK and will be sponsoring my spouse (we are both outland) what will they look for in terms of proof of planning to move to Canada once he gets PR? We are emailing estate agents for viewings, opening up Canadian bank accounts but we won't be purchasing a house until our UK house has sold so just wonder how we would best go about showing that proof? Thank you x
Hi Ma'am i want to ask about tranlation format of conversation in messenger.? Does it have exact translation format
Hi Jade. Thank you very much for your information. But I would like to ask you some question. My fiancé and I are together for 2 years and we have seen eachother quite a bit last year. And now during this pandemic. We can not see eachother. Is there a best way to bring him to canada? Hes in USA. Thank you in advance!
Hi jade I’m sponsoring my wife from Somalia I married her in 2014 I had a son with her I filled the application I send my wedding test I send my documents and I paid the money

A company in canada is preparing my LMIA, but it taking too long
Hi iwanna ask u what's meaning decision made
hi Jade, thank you so much for much needed info. You're best. I've a question regarding study permit based spousal work permit. My wife recently moved to Canada on a study permit (Jan intake). Is there any recommend duration after which I should put my application for the spousal open work permit? Some people are recommending me to apply after the completion of my wife's one semester (i.e. after 5-6 months), let me know your thoughts, Is it mandatory that i can only apply for open work permit, once she completes 6 months of studies? or i can apply early. Thanks in advance!
Can I apply for a study permit and open work permit for my spouse together in one application? if so, what about the chance to be approved?
Ya it is a big problem
Hi Jade, just wondering if we gonna provide the conversation log to prove our relationship, do we have to include all of them, mainly focus those cheesy convo, or can we just provide screenshots of the messages at the beginning and end of each month from the start of our relationship to present? Thanks!
Hi Katie. Keep in mind you can only submit 10 pages of letters, text messages, emails, or social media conversations. I often suggest that my clients select messages that best show ongoing communication (some texts from the start of the relationship and leading up to the current date). If you'd like to discuss further, you can contact me by email at admin@calverandassociates.com
mam.when i lodge my wife study permit in embessy during that time we get married. In application we dont show via web form.we have marrige certifiate is any problm when i apply for open permit

Hello. If you would like to discuss the LMIA further, you can contact me by email at jade@calverandassociates.com
Can my spouse who is to be sponsoring me and lives with me outside of Canada and currently not working sponsor me? Can my job as a nurse outside of Canada help with our application?
hi. my wife has been accepted for study visa for canada. we have been married for 15 years and have two children do we still need to show proofs other than marriage certificate
Thanks for the information, Jade! I am planning to visit my spouse next month and plan to apply for in-land sponsorship. How do we prove we are living together since I will only be on a visit visa and obtaining the documents as you mentioned in the video will be hard like rental agreement etc.
Hi Haider, generally I recommend in-land applications for those who are already in Canada on a Temporary Resident Status. I would need more information to provide recommendations to strengthen your application.

My husband will sponsor me and on the spousal visa form it is asking if I have relatives in Canada.I have an aunt who is resident and has been there for 29 years so far and has children and grandchildren.Do I have to say that I have relatives in Canada and include their names just to answer their question.I live in Nicaragua .Regards
Hi pls help my partner in Phils is married but they're seperated for almost 15 years and we cohabitated for almost 10 years in the Philippines.. Can i sponsor him as common law partner
Hi there, I’m a bit confused in providing conversation papers. Do I need to send both Original conversation(Tagalog) and Certified conversation(English) to IRCC?
Yes, you need to have a certified translator complete the translations, they should stamp the originals and you would include both.
@@JadeCalver thanks for the reply. But I’m still confused, so the total papers are 20 pages? The original and certified included?
So my girlfriend is trying to sponsor me for the common-law spousal sponsorship and I have some issues that I really need answers for pls. She's currently struggling financially even though she has a full time job but have been home sick for the past three months. She has also in the past taking student loan for her career education and I'm wondering if these two issues will be a problem if we decide to put in an application? I have also overstayed my visa for the past 7 years because an immigration consultant screwed up my application for PR and got me in a limbo so got my working visa and passport expired. I had applied for H&C after that but got refused based on some strange facts and not about me overstaying my visa. Will these things be a problem for me if my girlfriend has to sponsor me in Canada?
hi jade i have problem on translation. im from the philippines and my language is tagalog, i want to translate my language into english, is there any recomendation or tips you could suggest? my partner is live in canada.
Hello. I would look for a certified translator to have your documents translated to english. You may be able to find one here: atio.on.ca/directory/
Hi Jade, thanks for the informative video. I have one question. I have all the correspondence with my spouse since the day we met till now when our marriage is almost 4 years old. However, the correspondence is on WhatsApp when she was using different phone number before marriage. How should I make it part of application as an evidence.
Generally they will trust that this person had a different phone number. If she has an old bill on hand showing that this was her number, it could be helpful.
Do I have to mention about my pregnancy while writing an SOP for spousal visa
Hi
You must as that is stronger proof of marriage relation
Hi,
Does ircc takes longer to process complicated relationship? I am divorce but have dependents in Canada. My spouse from another country have a dependent from previous marriage. We have ackoledgwment for our application but its taking them to give me my sponsor approval. We got married in different country other than Canada and the country she lives now.
Yes, if you have other dependents, this means there are additional background checks to do.
Hi,
My initial communication took place through a few short emails. All the rest of communication happened on the Skype .I took screenshots that show both of us ,but printing those might degrade the quality .
Can we send evidences on digital format?
Hello Ali. Yes, you can send screenshots of video calls as proof of communication and relationship. The images don't need to be perfect quality but you and your partner should be recognizable.
@@JadeCalver
Thanks jade,
Can I ask another question please.?
@@alir3556
Can you contact me please....
If you have applied for PR through the conjugal partner.
A married person applies for single PR (not for his spouse but mentions in PR Application that he is married) in case finally he gets PR, can he sponsor his spouse right after landing in Canada and how much estimated time it takes to get PR for spouse?
A Permanent Resident can sponsor their spouse to come to Canada. To check processing times, you can use the Processing Time calculator. This will give you an estimate of how long it will take once your application has been received.

Hi,need a sponsor from Canada
Hello Mss. Jade
Thx for your effort ..
İf İ am applying for Tourist visa to Canada with my wife and children, do İ need to show chats with my wife since 7 years ago or the official family certificate if sufficient evidence ?
Your assistance is much appreciated
Hi there,
If you are visiting your spouse, you don’t need evidence of relationship, it’s more so focussed on what you’ll be doing here and proving that you’ll leave after your authorized stay.
@@JadeCalver
Good morning and thx for the reply.
İ am not going to visit my spouse, she is already with me.
We would like to apply for Tourist visa as Family ... Does she requires proof of fund in this case 🌷
Hi! I'm a Canadian that's been married to a Lebanese for 5 years, and we're both living in Lebanon and have a son together; on the application form to sponsor my husband, it says that if I can provide at least 2 documents to prove that our relationship is genuine, I don't need to provide photos or conversation. I did that (proof of joint-owned property and a recent electrical bill). Is it bad that I didn't include photos of us or conversations? I just followed what the application said....
Hi Farah, this is correct, however I usually still include the photos and relationship support letters as officers will often request them.
Thanks alot for replying, Jade! Do you think I should send some photos now before they ask for them? It doesn't seem like they've started processing yet...the application was delivered on April 8th and I haven't heard from them yet...
Hello am Ugandan ,am in need of sponsor ship proposal please to up litf my life and my kids please am an orphan please some one to help us please .
do i have a chance to get my wife even if she is pregnant ?
we dont have a billings or joint account, is it automatically get refused or high chance to not get approved? :(
Hi Angela. You must be able to provide at least 2 of the following:
- proof of joint ownership of residential property
- rental agreement showing both the sponsor and principal applicant as occupants of a rental property
- proof of joint utility accounts (e.g. electricity, gas, telephone, internet, etc.), joint credit card accounts, joint bank accounts
- vehicle insurance showing that both the principal applicant and sponsor have been declared to the insurance company as residents of the insured’s address
- copies of government-issued documents for the principal applicant and sponsor showing the same address (e.g. driver’s licenses)
- other documents issued to the principal applicant and sponsor showing the same address, whether the accounts are held jointly or not (e.g. cell phone bills, pay stubs, tax forms, bank or credit card statements, insurance policies)

What is the best way to fill out the forms? Computerized or Handwritten?
@@JadeCalver we don't have those either. we are on a long distance relationship and we just got married and we don't own any conjugal property yet.
hi thank you so much for this video we applied for conjugal partnership visa of canada we sent all the letters proofs photos.. etc we have been in relationship for 3 years and we are wondering what happens for our 20 ages gap we love each other deeply and we don't know how it Will effect our process to live together thanks
Hi Serdar, it is up to IRCC to determine if your relationship is authentic/genuine.
R you now in Canada?
hello jade...my husband lives in montreal and he wants to sponsor me but he doesnt have document proof of sending financial support to me since i earn so i didnt needed..is this harmful for my application...what can we do now?
Hi Afsana. There are other ways you can prove financial support between spouses. For example, you can show bills you have paid together, expenses you have shared, proof of joint bank accounts, etc. If you'd like me to look into your case further to provide advice specific to you, I'd be happy to do so. Please feel welcome to book a 1-on-1 virtual appointment with me through my firm: bit.ly/calverconsult
@@JadeCalver Thanks for your kind reply Jade...but since i am staying out of canada we didnt get the opportunity to share any expenses..but we have proof where my husband paid for our honeymoon expenses...r those okay?
even though we are 20 years in marriage do we need pictures even we present our marriage certificate
Hi Joey, yes, you will need to include all of the supporting documents required for a spousal sponsorship application (photos included).
Whats the success rate for common law partners applications?
Hi there,
I’d have to look at statistics to pull an exact number, but generally my advice is that you need to have really strong proof of common-law in order to be able to file under the CLP class. When the CLP period is short, we need to prove each month of cohabitation. Read more about my services and book a consultation if you need more assistance www.calverimmigrationservices.com/about-calver-associates
@@JadeCalver does marriage build strong case then common-law?
@@parvindersingh4591 Not necessarily, it more depends on the strength of evidence of the relationship. If a CLP couple have been together for quite a long time and have lots of evidence of cohabitation, this would be stronger than a very new marriage. With this being said, a marriage exists by law, and a common-law partnership by fact, so the common-law partnership application does usually require more evidence.

Dear Madam,
My wife wife who is in Canada submitted Application for a Permanent Residence under Provincial Nominee Program Class in Canada dated June 7, 2018. When we checked our online application status, there is a note that the decision has been made, however, in our CIC online profile, the note stated that the application still in progress. What does it mean???
Any clues?
Hi Jaison. It may take some time for the system to update. I would recommend monitoring your email (and check your spam inbox). An officer will contact you by mail or email to provide you with the decision on your application. Best of luck!
@@JadeCalver thank you for info
We are same did u received ppr
Can i withdraw and reapply immediately for my spousal Sponsorship application? Or do i have to wait for a certain amount of time?
Hi Nnennia. Technically, yes. However, before proceeding, we would need more information about why you are withdrawing the application, as this could raise concerns with the immigration officer.

Hi Hamid, I would need more information to determine the best option for you and your spouse. However, I will note that Canada does not have a fiancé visa. In order to qualify for common-law, you must have been living together in a common-law partnership for 12 months. If you would like to discuss your options further, you can schedule an appointment through my firm: bit.ly/calverconsult

I did my application on my own and came here in 5months you can too if you want. Great video Jade Calver.
If anyone wants to follow my channel of how I did it on my own visit my channel. I am not an immigration consultant or lawyer but I am very street smart. If you have extreme cases then I would recommend the use of a lawyer. It's not as difficult as you all think.
All the best Jade, also if you should I think Jade would be a great person even though I don't know her but its best if you let someone from Canada help you with your immigration process.

Hi Rida. Arranged marriages, especially ones that occur quickly, are typically subject to extensive scrutiny by Immigration Canada. It can be difficult to prove that your relationship is genuine without evidence of ongoing communication and relationship development. That being said, it's not necessarily impossible. If you'd like to discuss your case further, you can contact me by email at admin@calverandassociates.com

We have been married for a year ,we used whats app to talk every day but we did not save copy of those chats neither my husband.The worst case is that my phone got broken so I lost of the history of our chats. I have some from after a month ago when I got a new phone. We have flight bookings,many photos together,I am not in canada yet,my husband is in canada and we are applying soon but we are recollecting all we need for the form.I am concerned it might get refused because we both do not have evidence of our first chats.Do you think this can really affect the process of being approved?

I am planning to marry my Brazilian girlfriend... I do have records on Messenger, and WhatsApp.... Also been to Brazil 4 times now and hundreds of pictures... But her English isn't so good at this time... Would that harm chances???
Hi Boyd. You can see the full requirements for spousal sponsorship here: bit.ly/38HqpuH
Your spouse will have to answer whether or not she can speak English and/or French on the application. However, IRCC states that "This question is not for selection purposes. One of Canada’s immigration objectives is to support and assist the development of minority language communities in Canada." Visit the link above for more information.

Hi! just wanna ask a few things, We only message and call call each other through facebook. We also have pictures together , family and friends.
The only thing we don't have is text messages, emails, greeting cards, letters. is that ok?
Hello. I would advise you not to disregard Facebook logs. We often use social media screenshots as proof of correspondence and proof of relationship. Social media is also great because it shows time stamps. So, we often use this documentation as proof in an application. Best of luck!
Hi jade my partner is Canadian citizen and were married by Islam wedding can we use our Islam marriage certificate for spouse & dependent sponsorship PR to canada?
