I haven't posted here for years, hope my comments are helpful. I took "wedding proof" not as a request to prove that a wedding actually happened, but as a way to demonstrate that this was a real relationship and not a marriage solely for the purpose of immigration. I pasted a bunch of wedding...

In the email I got it said: "Your visa(s) will be ready within 5/five working days from the date your passport(s) reaches the Embassy." We delivered the passport in person on a Friday, received a phone call the following Tuesday saying it was ready, and it was delivered by courier on...

Ours was transferred to Ottawa: no dependents and not from India. It was from Ukraine.

A few people I know have been granted TRV's in similar situations. The common things they did was to wait until sponsorship approval before applying for the TRV. They also limited their visit to Canada to about 3 weeks. In your letter you could mention the status of the PR application, and be...

1. Pay online with your Dutch credit card. Print out two copies of the receipt: one for your records, and attach the other to your application. 2. Don't worry about the "option C". Write a simple note explaining you have been out of the country and do not have one. In lieu of the option C...

You are a naturalized Canadian citizen, so your child will be a Canadian citizen whether born in or out of the country. Your child will not have to be sponsored. I am also a naturalized citizen and was in a similar situation with one of my children. She was born outside of Canada. I just had to...

Ours was done in Ottawa: no dependents, but also no super visa.

Lots of info on times in this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/2010-parents-sponsorship-applicants-join-here-t186409.0.html;msg3970890#msg3970890

In our case it was about two months: AOR: Dec 13, 2013 Sponsorship approval: Feb 6, 2014

You can add mine to your list: (applied 16 Jan 2010) Sponsorship approval: 6 Feb 2014 (Ottawa) Medical Request: 26 June 2014

Keep in mind that this is based on residency, not where you work. So the issue really is whether or not you will be able to demonstrate that you are a Canadian resident. How much time are you out of the country? Do you spend the majority of your time in Canada? Do you maintain a house or...

If you are a Canadian citizen, you can sponsor your spouse while living or working outside of Canada. Typically, you will have to provide evidence that once your spouse is granted a PR visa, you will both be living in Canada. If you are a Permanent Resident, you must be a resident of Canada to...

I agree that it may often be of benefit for new immigrants to file a tax return when they do not owe taxes. However this is a choice that can be made, not a requirement.

This isn't correct. The requirement to file tax returns is based on taxes owing, not residency. See the following: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/flng-blgtns/menu-eng.html

Perhaps the solution would be to delay her landing until your return from China?

You will go through the landing/immigration process at the first place you arrive in Canada. It is no problem to do this in Toronto, then continue to travel to Calgary. This is exactly what we did when my wife came to Canada. My suggestion for travel would be to get the best priced tickets you...

As a first step, check to see if there is anything on ECAS about the PR card. Hopefully you will see something like: application received (same date as landing), date in process, and "complete".

This is normal and it is good. You should receive an email or letter telling you whether or not they have decided to issue a visa. Odds are that it is a positive result because it was processed quickly. Depending on where the sponsored person is living and what passport they carry, you may...

I hope your new accountant can get some good answers. When it comes to GST, they do some crazy things: actually making up tax bills and demanding you pay. Been through that before. The solution was getting my books straight and filing on time. Good Luck!

Presenting evidence of your time spent together will be an important part of your application. Nothing in your posts indicates that you have spent any time together.
