Hi folks, Currently completing my citizenship application (finally, woohoo!). I've got a pretty extensive travel history over the past five years, with multiple stamps in three passports that have been valid within the eligibility period (two from one citizenship, one from my other...

Hi folks, I'm doing my PR Card renewal at present, and am looking at the "additional proof of residency" parts of the application. I spent 678 days outside of Canada within the past five years. Not anywhere near the quota you're allowed, but still a considerable amount. Currently, I've got my...

Any thoughts? :)

Hey folks, Completing my PR Card renewal at the moment. I spent a decent amount of time outside of Canada during the past five years (although I still easily meet the residency obligation), and lived in Armenia and Lebanon with my partner during my times away. On the application form, do I...

Hi folks, I'm just in the process of applying to renew my PR Card. I wasn't sure what to write for Question 16 "Place you became a permanent resident of Canada - City/Port of Entry" On the CIC guide it states: "Write the city and province in Canada, where you became a permanent resident. If...

Hey folks, I'm sponsoring my wife to come here via outland spousal sponsorship. Anyway, her passport request email just came through a couple of days ago (woohoo) and she's been in Canada on a tourist visa for a couple of weeks, so we want to submit it whilst she's here. Just confused about a...

No thoughts on this? :(

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew if you can present your passport to Moscow CIC embassy in person to collect a tourist visa (with the passport request letter)? If so, do they give visas on the same day? Thanks!

Hi everyone, My wife (Armenian, living in Armenia - me in Canada) was granted her Temporary Residence Visa a few days ago. We are both flying to the United States next week to spend a couple of weeks together, and had hoped that after that we could come up to Canada for a few days for a visit...

Hi folks, My wife and I are currently in the process of spousal sponsorship. I'm a PR, living in Vancouver, my wife is Armenian, living there. Anyway, we've applied for a Temporary Residence Visa online so she can visit me here. In her MyCIC account, we just received a message with a letter...

Ah ha, thanks for all the info - very helpful :) Yeah I think we have a fairly decent application. Glad it doesn't affect anything PR related! We already have a trip booked to the USA (flights, everything). I'm flying back to Canada a week before she flies back to her home country - we wanted...

Hi folks, My wife and I have a spousal sponsorship application in process with CIC. Currently, I have received my Sponsor Approval status, and our application has been forwarded on to the appropriate CIC office. My wife has since obtained a ten year multiple entry visa for the USA. Next month...

Great, thank you :)

Thanks for the thoughts everyone :) I actually gained Sponsor Approval just last week, so now this is why we're pushing forward in search of a TRV now. We aren't expecting that she will get an approval for the visitors visa, but it would be a huge bonus if she did. I have always traveled to...

Fair enough, seems like a bad idea then! She has work with a reference that it is ongoing, an existing long-term housing contract, we have plenty of travel history together (and she's from a lesser developed country and we've gone to Schengen zone Europe twice and she's not overstayed), and...

Well, my lawyer stated that with Family Class sponsorship, CIC cares more about me (the Canadian) than her (the non-Canadian), thus her being allowed to be with her Canadian spouse for a time would be a beneficial thing, as it will be helpful for him (and her is a plus). She has plenty of ties...

I mean a letter of support stating that I will be happier to have my wife with me in Canada for the summer.

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of sponsoring my wife to join me permanently in Canada. She's from a country which she needs a tourist visa to visit. I was wondering if a letter from a registered counselor would be a helpful piece of evidence for our tourist visa application? Basically...

Hi folks, I was wondering if one has to update their work information if they get a new job and are a sponsor? I'm sponsoring my wife to join me here and have sponsor approval status now. Also, does the spouse have to update this type of thing too in case she gets new employment? Thanks :)

Ah ha, so I should put it with the immigration documentation then? :)
