Hey guys I was wondering if u can help me !
I had my AIP on April 27th, 2012. CIC sent me a letter that time to renew my passport, so I did and I sent them a new one. I was just wondering if I have to pay the rights for permanent residence now or wait for them to send me a letter or do I pay it at the local CIC office which is most likely in my case is Scarborough office please tell me what to do

Hello everyone,
I landed yesterday and it was less than 30mins for the whole process. the officer just called us on our time, told me to sign, looked at my photos, then congratulated me wit some explanation on things i can do as a permanent resident, he said i can travel too but shld call for my travel document since i dnt have PR card now. I got my SIN and OHIP too.
I just thank God for the whole process and lessons from this experience. I thank you all for been there, for the encouragements and words of wisdom. To all of you still waiting, you will soon laugh and rejoice soon. I know God is launching us all to a better life and higher heights . The patient dog eats the fattest bone. I will still be around to cheer you. Its time to know what Canada holds for Us..(as per job)
Big Congrats to all those that got AIP & 2nd stage
Have a wonderful day ya all

hi all,
so it was brought to my attention that if you go through immigration process
your self...chances are the response will be slow, however if you have a lawyer
things go alot faster and easier...
how true is that?...anyone has experience with a lawyer

Lawyers has nothing to do with the Immigration process and cannot make your process faster. They would double check the forms(like we all did 200 times) and make sure that everything is included so there will not be any delays. They will take your forms and send them for you and once they are in the queue it doesn't matter if you had a lawyer or not. I even read that they suggested to people not to send meds exams and background checks before first approval which is weird due to the fact it delays the all process(especially when the first stage is less than 11 months and meds are for 12 months with possibility for extension to 15). The only reason I would think you will need a lawyer is when your case is not straight forward for example you have dependants abroad, divorced from a Canadian before etc... Ask around here for more advice and get the bigger picture| Hope I helped |

It all depends on the lawyer/consultant. We used a reputable consultant who used to work for the CIC. It didn't cost us that much and he didn't make outlandish claims about speeding up the process. Anyone who claims/promises they can they can beat the system...if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. They're preying on desperate people. If your friend wants to use a consultant to do it, there are much better people out there. Otherwise, there are plenty of resources (like this forum) if she wants to do it herself. |

Hi everyone,
I applied last year in 31 August 2011. I have visitor visa which is valid till 15th August 2012. I also applied for the owp in jan 2011. I am wondering should I apply for the extension of my visitor visa or wait till August to hear something about Aip?
Second my wife is pregnant and she is due with twins in November , will this help my case even on humanitarian grounds? I have already gave Cic a letter about my wife's pregnant in Jan along with owp application
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Naz
Hi Naz, If you want to travel before you receive your second stage approval, then yea, renew your visa. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother... According to the CIC website, pregnancy doesn't help any case. Good luck! |
