It's better to call early morning (Eastern time) or Thursday/Fridays, and when you get the automated response you need to select Citizen and Immigration, then listen to the menu, I believe the options you need are numbered (in sequence): 2- for Status; 2- for Sponsorships, then stay on the line...

You can dial (613) 944-4000 from outside of Canada to reach the call centre.

You can try Schelle Sweets (http://www.schellesweets.com/) they have a $15 flat rate for delivery anywhere in the GTA. There's also Bunner's, great flavor choices (http://www.bunners.ca/shop/index.php/catering-and-deliveries) their delivery rates start at $10, and you can order online. Good luck.

Yeah, I wasn't aware that you could contact an MP from without Canada or if you could whether they'd assist with Immigration related questions. The same thing with contacting the CPC at Mississauga by phone, they specify that the Call Centre only serves applicants within Canada as some posters...

Question 5: Enter the number of years for each level, e.g. "Post-graduate studies" ---> "Number of years completed" 4. Question 8: Enter all the information about places you lived, as a rule I entered all addresses for stays longer than 1 month.

Very brave on your part to stick it through the whole messy affair. I commend you for not losing focus and sticking through the end. It's unfortunate that so many lives and relationships have to suffer because of the weakness of the immigration system in treating spousal PR cases efficiently and...

Re: is GST/HST credit considered welfare or social assistance??? NO.

1. Field 7. asks us for a CSQ; we do not intend to set up residence in Québec when we move back to Canada, and yet there is no indication anywhere that we can legitimately leave this field blank. Can we do so? Even if we intend to move to Vancouver, do we have to have a CSQ? Question 7...

once he gets his Permanent residence status he can live wherever he chooses. In order to keep his status as Permanent resident though, he needs to live in Canada for a minimum number of years on average (two out of five). See here for more: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/about-pr.asp

"Perhaps journal editors should require signed testimony of what each author contributed." :D

hahaha CharlieD ;) .... it's that déjà vu feeling once again! ;)

He would be dependent if: 1- He is under 22 years of age; or 2- He is enrolled in university full-time since before turning 22; or 3- he depends financially from you because of a medical condition. Otherwise he is not considered dependent. Double check with the OP manuals to be sure.

I can't believe I'm reading this "advice"! Obviously yours is not a desirable situation to be in, but going illegal is not an option I'd consider sensible. I'd suggest instead to get in touch with an immigration lawyer to find out what your real options are at this point. I wouldn't suggest to...

The UCI is normally given to you via any communication sent after your application (TRV, PR, etc.), look for it in letters sent to you as part of the TRV application process, or call CIC at 1-888-242‑2100. Still, you may leave the box blank if the UCI not known.

Agree with Riffa, though trimming the paper to match the sizes of the Japanese ones seems also like an acceptable idea, as long as the signatures are originals.

How do you mean? Which pages are you talking about? Which forms? All the official forms are formated in letter-size (8.5x11"). Do you mean additional sheets to be attached to the forms? Those can be letter-size as well.

haha LOL Baloo, that's so funny, yet so true! As Baloo implied, be prepared to invest time, energy, patience, patience, and did i mention, patience? But if you're serious about being with your dear one nothing (well, almost) should prevent you from putting all your effort into going through...
