    Taxes...

    I had a couple of warnings but it was basically just a confirmation that hubby's income was 0. After it told me that i am ready to NETFILE, which i did and was able to do without any hitch. It asked me for his SIN and I just put in zeros. Most importantly, by filing a single return, I was able...

    Taxes...

    I was finally able to file my taxes. The mistake I made with Quicktax is that I was trying to file a joint return. I had to redo it and file a single return. There was a question with regards to whether my spouse was a non-resident of Canada. That explained the 0 income. After completing it as a...

    Taxes...

    I am going to call the Quicktax support line tomorrow. I am in the exact same shoes. I know it's possible to file electronically in our case because i know someone that has done. However, I think what I did wrong was saying at the beginning that we are preparing taxes for both of us. I should...

    Net Income Question On Sponsorship Evaluation Form IMM-5481

    That part of the form doesn't make any sense. I was in the same dilemma back then. I just put a round number very similar to what my option C was saying. Don't worry about too much. You certainly don't have to do a manual calculation.

    Hello? Right hand, meet Left Hand! Crazy red-tape and double-talk

    I understand your frustration but do not panick. It will not take Buffalo 30 weeks to send you an acknowledgment of receipt. Give it about 3 weeks and by then they should have a file number for you which you will get in a letter when they start processing your application. Hang in there!

    question about approval letter

    The client ID on the sponsorship approval is the sponsor's Clients Id not yours. Yours ( on the letter from Buffalo) is a different number.

    FBI Clearance Letter request issue from Buffalo Consulate

    We are in a similar situation. We sent the original state police clearances and then we got the same letter asking for them again and gave us 90 days. That was in October.

    What's the usual first contact from immigration?

    The sponsorship approval will mailed to the sponsor. After the file hasbeen transferred to Buffalo, you'll be the one who is contacted and you'll also get an Acknowledgment of Receipt once Buffalo started processing.

    What would you do? Doctor gave me wrong form

    On top of all the stress you must have been through prior to submitting the application, I am sure you're furious and have every reason to. Maybe you want to wait until the sponsorship part gets looked at and see if they will send your application back or not. If not, once Buffalo starts...

    The final Chapter

    All my best wishes are going out to you. I cannot even imagine what you have gone through. A few months of this process is enough torture as it is much less 2 years. Wishing you the happiest life together and good luck with the re-processing. ;)

    Question - DUI 5 yrs ago

    Most likely this will cause complications but most importantly you have to make sure the incident was more than 5 years ago. It it has been over 5 years, she should be able to apply for Rehabilitation but you're probably looking at a longer than usual processing times. When are you looking to apply?

    My husband has a job offer and the potantial employer is ready to apply for a Labour Market opinion. Since his line of work is pretty rare to find in Canada, I thinkwe have a good chance of getting a positive answer. As a US citizen he could just go to the border and have it processed there. Is...
