His new job is in a restaurant. They have promised him X salary but there is no contract and he it isn't the end of the month yet so we don't even know if he will get what they promised. Would social assistance take that into consideration?

I am sponsoring my husband under the family class. I was overseas for 10 years working. We landed in April with our child. He is working but at minimum wage and I am still unemployed. We are having a hard time making ends meet. I called social services and they said my daughter and I are allowed...

I'm wondering what the rules are for a Sponsored Spouse? I'm responsible for his well-being for 3 years. He is working now but if he lost his job would he be entitled to Unemployment Insurance like others who have paid into the system?

My husband is a new Landed Immigrant from Thailand. Now we want to know if we can bring his younger brother here to study English for 6 months on a Visitor's Visa. In the past my husband was refused a Visitor's Visa so I have no idea if his brother could even get one or not. What would we have...

Hi, I'm starting this thread to get some opinions before I book our flight. I was looking at a 5:30pm landing time at Pearson then connecting flight to Ottawa at 7:00pm...will we have time to 'land' and catch our flight?

Thanks so so much SATDXB and for Captain Qorax's linc...he is a god. I was looking at flight where we would land at Pearson at 5:30pm then a connecting flight to Ottawa at 7:00pm. Do you think we can make it?? I can't really afford one night in a Toronto motel.

Hi, We are finally nearing the end of this journey and the beginning of a new life. Landing next week. What is the rundown of what will happen when we land? What documents does my husband need? Is there a list somewhere? Also, how long will it take? Landing at Pearson then only have a 1 1/2...

I've got news that my husband has received PR. If we fly from China to Canada it seems many flights fly via the US. Will my Thai husband need a US transit visa for a 4-6 hour layover in an American airport?

Dear babynsx, thank you for your hopefulness. I wish everyone on this forum the best with their applications. Maybe I should start a new thread asking those who are dealing with Beijing, Tokyo, Manila and New Delhi processing offices how long after the passport was requested did they receive PR...

I don't think this request is a mistake because other people are saying that this is standard procedure in Tokyo, New Delhi and Manila. I am just wondering how someone can be without a passport for up to six months? and Why they need the passport if a decision has not been made yet?

Hi, I'm trying to keep my thread active because I really want an answer if anyone out there can enlighten me. What happens if the Canadian Embassy in Beijing retains my husband's passport for -up to six months-according to the time line for processing outlined on the web while they are...

Hi December Applicants, I just wanted to share our happiness. CIC received our Outland application December 7th, 2010. A decision was made January 11th, 2011 on ecas, and yesterday January 28th, 2011, I got an email from the Embassy in Beijing that our application is in process and to send my...

Yes, exactly. We are in Mongolia. My husband is Thai. They are asking for us to send his passport to the Canadian Embassy in Beijing and will have it for an indefinite length of time. If they ask for an interview, they will need to send us his passport back to Mongolia in order for him to get a...

Thank you Forum for confirming that it is standard procedure to ask for the passport by some processing offices before a decision is made. If that is the case and the processing office is holding onto an applicant's passport for several months, what happens if the applicant needs their passport...

I'm starting a new thread here. The Canadian Embassy Beijing has requested my husband's passport before a decision has been made. Check following from email sent to me: We are committed to processing applications for permanent residence in Canada in the immigrant category in which you have...

Dear Forum, I am so happy I could cry. Before getting the letter by snail mail from Mississauga saying whether I had been accepted to sponsor my husband or not I have received the following email directly from the Canadian Embassy in Beijing: We are committed to processing applications for...

Is there a number that I can call from overseas? IF (and I'm praying to dear God) the decision made was YES then, how long later would it normally be before they transfer it to the overseas processing office, in our case Beijing.

Dear Forum, Our application was received CIC Mississauga December 7th, Ecas says a decision was made January 11th and a letter sent to our address in Mongolia. We are still waiting for this letter to arrive. I know it's only been 2 weeks and a day but is there anyway to know what they decided...

Ok, I'm sort of following you Zagalo. This is the Family Class Sponsorship Page forum you know. My husband's medicals were sent in already with the whole package so I don't think I will have to send them in again. I'm just wondering when Beijing asks for the passport? When they start processing...

Zagalo, what is FSW? My husband sent his Medical Clearance in with his initial application to CIC Mississauga. We sent it in Dec.7th, 2010 and ecas says a decision was made Jan.11th, 2011. We are waiting for the letter in the mail to hear their decision. If it's positive, I dearly hope so and...
