    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks. They are in Montreal. Application was sent in March, they just got the letter by regular mail a week ago. I think your situation may be different because you got it back in a month. The CIC website shows that the docs must be dated at most 90 days prior. This is the letter they got. It...

    a friend of mine sponsors her husband within Canada, but they had their documents returned from Mississauga due to missing signature after 6 months. Long story short, it is not clear what they need to do next: 1. Do they need to fill out new forms dated in October, or they can just sign and...

    Super Visa online application

    Thanks, So the plan is her to stay 3 months, but in order to get the supervisa, I should indicate that she will stay more than 6 months? And should put in the invitation 7 months period? It's just a pain to gather all documents over and over again in case she has to come again. Also, the goal...

    Super Visa online application

    We are about to apply for SuperVisa online, but the person will be staying less than 6 months this time. If we answer "Visit - less than 6 months" (as opposed to "more than 6 months"), would this still be considered as a SuperVisa application?

    Tired of the Complaining

    Assuming you are right, Canada does not need you. You are complaining that the others are complaining. Like it or not, that makes you are a complainer 8)

    How much $$ for new life in Canada?

    1. New furniture - depends, if you want to buy electronics like 3D smart TVs, etc ... for furniture, check some sites like thebrick, etc to get basic idea. They usually run deals when you buy sofa + loveseat, you get a 50" plasma, etc. Also, if you buy fridge and stove, they'd throw a washer...

    Well, I know that we'll get the CSQ. The point is that this whole freaking process takes forever. Everybody seems to really really really take their time - eat doughnuts, drink coffee, play ping-pong or whatever they are NOT PAID to do ... It's not normal to keep families apart for more than 2...

    Sending additional proof to VO?

    That's the point - file has been transferred to VO, but they haven't even started looking into it (at least nothing shows up in ecas), so no PPR ... Obviously, if PPR was issued, I wouldn't bother sending more proof ...
