At last there appears to be movement for you. Sounds like they are getting ready to issue you with the visa - I am assuming if it was a no they would have advised by now? What are you waiting for? Respond to them right away and tell them that yes (or no!) that you have your passport ready etc...

I landed via the Lewiston/Queenston bridge back in February, and we decided to combine it with shopping in Buffalo and an overnight stay. When we crossed into the US my plan was to simply say we were going for an overnight shopping trip. We had to go into the separate room on the US side to get...

1. I believe that if you check the document checklist they do require a minimum of 2 declarations from third parties stating that you are in a genuine and ongoing common-law relationship. I don't believe that it says anywhere that they must be family, in fact I think it says family or friends...

2nd that. I got my fingerprints done in Toronto. The guy doing them was quite nervous - he wanted to know what the Australian guidelines were in terms of what format, as he didn't want me to have a wasted journey. I showed him the instructions and he opted to just do my finger prints on a...

I would say you are perfectly fine to carry on as you are. You will both be able to prove that you are only staying for a short stay as you have return tickets. Plus your previous too-ing & fro-ing will prove that you have left the respective countries when you said you would. When visiting...

CIC don't hold that as a valid reason I'm afraid. I was in the exact same situation, and had no choice but to give up my job, leave the UK and live in Canada as a visitor together for a year and then submit our application. Marriage wasn't an option for us at the time due to a divorce being...

Assuming you are in Italy at the moment and you are both eligible to work in Italy, my advice would be to submit an outland application via Italy and wait it out there. At least you can both still work. Alternatively you can as others have said go to Canada and still submit an outland via...

Yes - it means COPR is on it's way. It arrives by registered mail and requires a signature, so make sure you look out for the delivery card if there's not going to be anyone at home. I've never heard of anyone being rejected who hasn't had prior warning either in an interview or because they...

My situation is sort of similar, and mine was granted no problems. Here is what my timeline was like: July 2010 - moved to Canada to live with boyfriend, gave up job in UK etc. Sept 2010 - took a 3 week holiday back to UK for a wedding - boyfriend came with me for the first week, but then had...

As I see it, you have two options. Obviously your wife, as a Canadian citizen, doesn't need a visa to work in Canada. You do. How old are you? If you are aged between 18-35 you could apply for a working holiday visa...

Doctor is incorrect - he maybe thinking of another application. It needs to be completed before and you need to send the IMM1017 form along with your application to Mississauga. The Doctor sends his part to Ottawa I believe where it is all entered onto a system so that London can match it up...

Fantastic news. So now is it off to Buffalo this weekend?!

Great news - but did they confirm they had sent it to your lawyers new address? It could well arrive tomorrow or Friday then I would say.

Finally Tricky! Now you presumably enter the next waiting game aka job hunting? That is much less fun and slightly more mind-gamey than this. Annoyingly there are no spreadsheets or forums that I can find to help me through it!

Oh crikey! That's frustrating, but I do know a little of what you are going through. I suspect if they have moved building then it is likely to have been returned because there is no one at the original address. They will act on your message - just make sure everything is up to...

2nd that, it's the date of landing. So the key is to land asap. Then gather the docs you need.

I used my Ontario Driving Licence to prove the address. I can't recall what else was in that document column - just go to the Ontario health website and there is a list of documents you need. Your COPR covers one column, your passport another column and then I think the third is your address -...

You're welcome - just wanted to make sure you were clear on the advantages and disadvantages. An inland application is sent by you to Vegreville, Alberta and it is processed there entirely - the first & second stage. An outland application is first sent by you to CPC-Missisauga for the sponsor...

Thanks for the congrats everyone. I am so relieved. Now the job hunt begins. Getting OHIP and the SIN number was easy really. Just make sure you check out on-line for the documents needed so you don't have a wasted trip. You need three pieces for OHIP - one from each list.....I took COPR, my...

Hello Gemy I assume you are doing an outland application? If so, then I have just looked up the form you are referring to on the CIC site (version 02-2012), and can confirm that: Part 1:Application to Sponsor & Undertaking, Q5 should be the DOB of the Principal Applicant - i.e. the person...
