Hi, Kamal - I found this website helpful: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/washington/imm/federal_worker_hints-conseils_travailleur_federal.aspx?lang=eng Your approach sounds similar to mine - I used tabbed dividers and wrote the name of the documents on the divider, and the point number...

Just FYI - I sent an email to Buffalo and they wrote back to say they don't need the letter. :-D

Thanks for your advice, everyone. I did include the file number on the cover letter and several other documents. Plus, I enclosed the receipt I got from Sydney showing that I paid the application fee. I'm leaving the country for a few weeks and wonder whether I should drive it up to Buffalo...

Hi, everyone - I submitted my full application to Buffalo this week. After I sent it off, I read the letter I initially received from Sydney, which said I should include a copy of that letter with my submission to Buffalo. Since I was so focused on including everything on the Buffalo...

Suggestions? Anybody?

My initial application to Sydney noted that my husband and I were separated. I included him on the application as a family member, noted he would not accompany me to Canada, and also included him on the Additional Family Information form. He also completed the Additional Family Information...

I got my police certificate from Maryland. It wasn't very difficult, but I did it in person and it sounds like you'll have to do it by mail. I went to the state police barracks, was fingerprinted on their card, mailed it in according to instructions they gave me, and less than a week later I...

I may drive up to Buffalo in the next few weeks and would rather hand it off in person rather than mail it. Has anyone done this before? Is it permitted? Thanks, susan

Hi, everyone - My divorce is in progress but won't be complete by the time my 120 days runs out. I'm planning to submit my application as a "separated" person and then send in the divorce papers when it's finalized. Does anybody see any problem with that? Thanks, Susan

Hi, Tim - It sounds like we're in exactly the same stages of separation/divorce. I plan to send on my separation agreement since there's no such thing as a separation certificate in Maryland. If my divorce isn't final by the end of the 120 days, my husband will remain listed on my application...

Thanks, everyone, for the information and well-wishes!

Hi, everyone - I had cancer 4.5 years ago but there's been no evidence of disease since treatment. Does anybody know or suspect that I'll get turned down because of it? Does anybody know if someone with a similar diagnosis was accepted? Thanks!

Jada, I'm going to write an explanatory note. My initial application included the value of my interest in two houses, but documenting that is expensive (appraisals at $350 each) and time-consuming, so I'm going to exclude them. I can't imagine that would be a problem as long as the remaining...

Good morning, everyone - I have a few questions about available funds. First, can I include deferred compensation plan balances? Second, do I show gross or net (savings less outstanding credit card, etc. debt) funds? Finally, is an original bank statement sufficient or should it be something...

Hi, everyone - I've been at my current job for over 13 years and it will be next to impossible to get a letter of reference from my former employers. Would a letter of explanation suffice as long as I have a letter from my current employer? Has anyone run into this before? Thanks, Susan
