Thanks, yes that's exactly it. I replied to the mail and they confirmed that spouse is included by default. Also, I thought mailing address is not that personal because so many marketing firms have that already to send us flyers etc. Thanks for your inputs.

Hi everyone, We received the Oath ceremony invite via Zoom meeting. The format is pretty odd with spacing issues, and not very clean. Also the file number quoted is just for me and not my spouse. They are also asking for our mailing address. Did anyone receive such invite for Zoom based...

You can show POF in INR. I included a separate letter addressing Visa Officer with CAD equivalent amount as per the conversion rate on RBC website. Also photocopies are not accepted. Get a account statement from bank with seal and sign of branch manager. Regards, SWA

Your kids would have a birth certificate with your name on it yes? If so, that might appear in background checks. Immigration is a huge deal. I would not leave unattended business behind specially with legal matters. Even if you file for divorce, unless its finalized before you submit...

For India, apply through Passport office. Much simpler than running around SP offices. For USA, you need to apply through FBI. There is a complete process wherein you need to get fingerprints on the form (on their website), attest it by local law enforcement and courier the same along with a...

zhuss is right. I got married but did not immediately inform CIC. Once you receive next correspondence from them, include this information. Nothing to panic about. Regards, SWA

Update: I have been able to secure a full-time job in Toronto within my own area of expertise. We also got our PR cards. Exact 5 weeks from our day of entry. If anyone is planning on landing in Ontario, please get a travel insurance. We did not have any and OHIP kicks in only after 3 months of...

Re: Proof of 'Landing Funds" >>> Urgent Hi Shalini, A cashier's check is akin to a personal check, only that it is issued by bank and bears your name in print. It serves as a proof that you have funds in your account and will use them for your personal account elsewhere. You can of course...

Re: Proof of 'Landing Funds" >>> Urgent Guys, No offense but there are numerous threads advising against carrying bank account statement as POF. If you do not wanna convert currency or cash out, carry "Cashier's Checks". That way you can satisfy the requirement yet have checks cancelled...

Birth certificate is mandatory. Mine was in non-english language so I had to get it converted by a notary. You can always get one made don't you. Regards, SWA
