Oh, and no help needed. I just followed the guidelines closely and sent them a ton of pictures, wedding cards, etc. (that were all returned to me). I wouldn't spend the money to hire someone unless you are tight for time or feel really uncomfortable completing it.

Hello, Sorry for the delayed response. Everything went great! We have been here for almost three years. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello, We just went to city hall in the city we got married in. According to the city's site, "There are no citizenship or residency requirements when applying for a marriage licence in Ontario." We both showed our passports, filled out the form, and paid the fee and that was that. It was a...

Flights are definitely getting expensive. It seems you should know soon though. Air Canada lets you cancel any flight purchased within 24 hours. If you're worried they'll go up you could buy then cancel until you hear. You might have some explaining to do with your credit card company but it...

Cancol, we got all of our pictures, cards, and certificates back, which was unexpected, but nice.

They sent an email saying it was ready. I can't believe how fast everyone's is being processed! Happy for all!

Congrats to both of you! Great news. We sent it Servientrega and my husband had to pick it up at the embassy where they went over documents with him making sure he understood all of the conditions (which were just regular). I can't remember exactly now how long that was but I want to say a week...

Hello, I randomly come on here from time to time to see how things are going for other people. In a nutshell it's all worked out very well. My husband got his multiple-entry visa in June 2012 after being totally honest in our application saying we were planning on getting married. We married in...

Hi Cancol, Our status eventually turned to "In Process" but it took awhile and was a week or so after we go the passport request when it changed to "Decision made." In our experience the application tracking was not up to date.

Hello, I was just told by an immigration office in Canada that it would infact be illegal to send a PR card in the mail. Might not get caught, but certainly don't want to risk it. I was also told we could apply for a travel document before departure, which I don't quite understand as he hasn't...

Thanks so much Leon!

Thank you!

Cdnmom-There seems to be a chance he would have to show up in person at an office for the PR card from what I've read. Is it "legal" to mail a PR card? We will be staying with family. Thanks.

Hi Leon, Thanks for your reply. They have put two giant stamps through his TRV that says "Cancelled without Prejudice." I also have read that he may have to show himself in person at an office to get the PR card. Do you know how likely this is? Do you know if getting a travel document issued is...

Hi Heppster, Thanks for your response. We can only be in Canada for three weeks, which wouldn't be enough time to get the PR card and the Embassy here told my husband he would have to show up in person in Canada before getting the card. I worry that with the holidays in there that would be...

Hello, My husband has been granted his permanent residency but we do not plan to permanently land until July 2014 due to school and work contracts. However, we want to visit Canada for three weeks this Christmas. He went to pick up his passport today and was told it was a big hassle and to not...

Cancol, happy to answer any questions. We are living in Colombia and have been married since December 2012, dating since August 2008. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but he has a tourist Visa to Canada and has visited three times.

Bolt- It definitely feels good to be at the end of the process. Congrats! Won't be long now. Cancol- No idea. I was totally caught by surprise when we got the email. I was thinking maybe February if all went well. We actually even asked to delay the medicals deadline by a month and sent them...

We mailed it with Deprisa to the Embassy but we were not given the option to have it mailed back to us. The email said we had to come to the office to get it with a valid piece of ID.
