Hey guys, I've asked this before, but never got a definite answer. I am an American on a 2 year visitor record. My husband and I are in the process of submitting our application in. Is there a way I can apply for a work or study visa? Don't get me wrong, I love being with my husband, but being a...

Hey all, I was wondering if I could apply for an open work permit / study permit? I am in Canada in the process of submitting my spousal application and I have a visitor's record for 2 years. I have read around that if someone in my position applies for these permits, that they are likely to be...

I was issued a 2 years visitors record and was wondering if I could study at a 6 or under months course. I know it states on my Visitors record that I can not study, but then on CIC website it says that visitors can study if the course is 6 months or less. Can I do such a thing? Thanks. :D

Here is my story. I wanted to share this with everyone who was in the same situation as me. I am the American, my husband is the Canadian. Enjoy! I flew from California to Montana, where I landed 2 hours from the Alberta border. While I was flying and such, my husband was driving down to...

I will be crossing the border in 2 weeks :) My hubby is visiting for a few days and will be coming up with me. I am American and he's Canadian fyi :) I have a few questions to anyone who have had this experience or knowledge: 1. We want to be 100% honest with the IOs, so my hubby are going to...

Just like my title said, my hubby who has a credit limit of $500 had to use his father's credit card to pay the application fee. He paid online and despite using my FIL's credit card, my husband technically paid the amount to his dad in cash. Does this affect the payment at all? It doesn't say...

On #4 it asks for details of my father and well my situation is very complicated, but to make a long story short, I have never met my father (who's on my birth certificate). The man who has raised me since I was born has always been there. Whose details do I put down? Note: I have no details...

Hey all, I'm hoping to finish my application once I'm up in Canada. There's a section on form IMM 0008 asking for my residential address and also a current mailing address (where they'd send all my stuff too). Since I am hoping to wait out my application while I am in Canada, which address...

I just got my passport back after I requested a name change. I wasn't expecting them to give me a whole new passport book! I was going to use my passport pages as proof that I visited my husband in Canada, now I don't have those proofs! I don't have flight itenieraries either. Ahhhhhh. Those...

Hey guys this might be a silly question so pardon me but I was wondering if there was an option to type on the forms other than IMM 1344 and IMM 0008. I really don't want to hand fill the forms due to my 'unique' (ahem, chicken stratch) penmanship lol

Hi guys, I'm about to get my FBI Clearance and would like to know on the form do I have to put my maiden name or my surname? Thanks.

Should I mention I was taking a 2-months course (that I didn't finish) while I was in Canada on implied status? I ask this because on question #8 they want to know my personal history of what I did age 18 to now. I'm stressing about this because I know legally I would be able to study in...

I was wondering when cic meant photocopy of marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc does this have to be certified or not? On the guide it says documents are supposed to be certified photocopies but on the checklist they don ask for "certified photocopies."

On the advice of someone in this forum I wanted to know crossing border stories before, during, OR after their spousal sponsorship. And If you guys have tips please tell me! I am going to be marrying a Canadian this month and would like to be up very soon. But I don't know when I should do it...

I need major help with my situation. And i am sooo sorry if this is long or maybe confusing. So my bf and I have been together for over a little year now. We are looking to have a court wedding. We aren't really "officially" engaged (he didn't propose). We really love each other and we knew...

Hi guys I have questions about the Spousal Sponsorship. I've done a lot of research on forums/reading the guides both for the Sponsor and PA (Me). There seems to be some answers that I have found on forums that contradicts to what the guides says. I need to clear up a few things. (1) On the...
