My husband and I just moved, and I was wondering how to go about sending the lease to CIC as extra proof even though they didn't ask for it. How do I go about doing that online? I had to do it once, and I completely forgot how to do it now. Can someone help me out? Thanks

So after a LONG time waiting I finally got an email from CIC...telling me I may be inadmissible because my husband receives social assistance. He is on AISH due to a heart problem and they want me to send in more information proving we can provide for ourselves. I'm having a breakdown...I don't...

I have a few questions about notes that I just received for the first time. Will I get them emailed to me randomly when something gets updated or do I have to "order" them each time? Also, it says that I have an overdue fee for the sponsorship part of the application, but I sent that with the...

Have a quick question, how long does it take for the ECAS to update that they received your medical? I went to a place that submits it electronically and they told me the CIC gets it as soon as they press enter. I had to medical done a few weeks ago now but my status doesn't show anything...

So, I posted this in the main sponsorship forum, but to be honest, with that many pages, I would have a hard time keeping up with any replies I get, so I'm going to post basically same thing but in my own little topic. How long does it usually take for a sponsor to get approved? I sent in my...

If anyone is in the Edmonton, Alberta area looking to get their Immigration Medical and want a recommendation, I would suggest going to Kerry Pawluski at the Blatchford Field Medical Clinic. It was by far the cheapest place to go, whereas any other place wanted $300-$400 for just the medical...
