    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    Hello there, I have a similar (but not exactly the same story). In our case, the CIC website said one thing, but the actual law says another; thus, when I was gathering all the proof I can to prove our relationship, I actually proved myself wrong according to the law. I went to immigration...

    Need an advise, please help PMM and everybody else

    yeah I found it out now =)), but the CIC website states, quote: "your sponsor immigrated to Canada and, at the time they applied for permanent residence, you were a family member who should have been examined to see if you met immigration requirements, but you were not examined" and nothing...

    Need an advise, please help PMM and everybody else

    Yep, I am pretty sure, I went to CIC today, and the guy there told me that: first, he had never seen anything like that happen before, and second, since I showed that I intend to stay in Canada, I might have problems applying for any temporary resident visas (including post grad work permit). It...

    Need an advise, please help PMM and everybody else

    We can;t get married right now, because my BF is religious (I am absolutely not). we had 3 people die in 2009 in our families (namely his dad and grandma and my uncle), so according to his (and mine too, although I don;t care as much) religion we should wait for at least a year after that.

    Need an advise, please help PMM and everybody else

    Well, I think I will try to contact the local MP first and see if they can do anything about it , may be there is someone out there who can overrule the decision. Who knows, might help. Mean while i will gather all the papers for the outland application, thought I will be refused for sure, and...

    Need an advise, please help PMM and everybody else

    Hello guys, today when I returned home from the university, I got a letter from the CIC saying that my partner's sponsorship was refused, due to the fact that when he landed more than 2 years ago he did not declare any dependents (meaning me). At the time he submitted his application (3 years...

    Is complaining about the visa officer a good idea?

    Well, i have been following your story for quite a while now, and I would complain! If you write your complaint in a diplomatic manner, it should not hurt you case (in my mind), plus you will have more to say during your appeal (which will be absolutely beneficial). So, I would complain...

    Why such a big difference??????

    Hey people, in my mind it is equally frustrating both ways. For those who applied outland it is obvious - not being with your loved ones. And for us who applied inland it is putting your life on hold and the uncertainty (after all we cannot appeal, which is stupid). I am super happy that I am...

    INLANDERS!

    If they transfer your application to the local office before the AIP, this means that there probably be an indepth interview (like what is your spouses toothbrush color etc). That's the answer I got when I asked the same question (but Saskatoon instead of Mississauga, which really is the same...

    INLANDERS!

    No I did not get my AIP yet (just like you). IO asked why didn't he put me on his application when he was applying for his PR as a skilled worker (answer: because we were not common law at the time). That's about it. I am in Saskatoon not Mississauga. Cheers, Raccoon
