Thank you very much. I thought so and initially filled out the form as such but then when double checking everything I got worried. For me, it's kind of confusing the way it's written. Thanks for your advice.

Hello I'm confused on this area. We are a family of 4 moving to Canada. Husband of 10 years is the sponsor and is Canadian. Daughter 4 years old Canadian. Wife, Japanese with son Japanese. The son is 18 years old. Who does the wife (applicant) add to Dependents? Just the son? Or...

This was a big help. That's the vibe I got from my friend, too. But we have to drive 90 minutes to the place so I don't want to make any mistakes. Thanks for helping! Hopefully there are no hiccups. :)

Hi Not sure if anyone out there has applied for a criminal record check in Japan but we did so last week. They asked us when we come to pick it up to bring a document from Canada IMM. IMM hasn't requested a criminal record check from us yet as we haven't even sent off our application. I've...

Hi all, I live in Japan and my family and I are moving to Canada. My 4 year old daughter and I are Canadian. So I'm in the process of collecting everything to sponsor my wife and step-son. I have been married to her for 10 years. We decided a few years ago that we would leave Japan after...

I'm also curious of this. I am getting close to submitting my application to sponsor my wife and I am thinking that showing a purchased ticket to Canada will help with the "Proof of Intent". However, if it's a return ticket that might not work. One way tickets for my family costs about...

Thanks for your help. Hope that's enough. Out of curiosity, will not submitting a letter of resignation from my job in Japan be a very bad idea? I don't want to tell my job I'm leaving until about 3 months before I go. Telling them now makes things a little complicated here for me. But if...

Hello I'm sponsoring my Japanese wife for a permanent resident visa. We live in Japan at present. My good friend in Canada has offered me a job to start from the day I get there. He's flexible on the exact start date. We are curious of how to show immigration proof that the job offer is...

Thank you for your advice. I'm a little confused now. I'm a Canadian living in Japan and my wife and I both have permanent resident visas for Japan (she is from Brazil). On the Government of Canada Immigration forms IMM3999 I found my way to this checklist specific for those in Japan - the...

Hello Getting close to submitting everything to IMM. But I read that the expiry date of the passport must be valid for at least 18 months from the date you submit your application. Well, my Brazilian wife's passport falls a month short of that. Then I tried to find if she can renew a...

Last year I applied for a visitor visa for my wife and step son and they got it. This year I'm trying to sponsor them to immigrate. Would they have been given a UCI number last year when their visitor visa's were accepted?

Never mind. I phoned the closest VAC and they helped me. Cheers.

Hi My wife was just approved to send passport to the visa office. Hurray! The problem is I'm not sure which office they want us to send it. My wife is Brazilian but we reside in Japan. If I was a betting man I'd say we must send it to the Philippines. However, I want to be 100% sure...

Hi I am Canadian and my wife Brazilian. Our daughter has both a Canadian passport and citizenship and a passport for Brazil. Surprisingly her Canadian passport and citizenship paper do not show any place who her father and mother are. Is that odd? Is it because when I applied for her to...

I will apply on-line. So I am curious if I can take screen shots of my on-line banking statements and attach them to a word document along with other statements from other bank accounts.

OK. Sorry for the confusion but to clarify, all my on-line statements need to be printed and then scanned back into the computer as jpeg or PDF files right? I cannot save the on-line statements directly as a PDF or JPG. Is that what you are saying? I must download, print, scan and then...

Thank you for your reply. But what does this mean? Thank you.

This must be some sort of scary territory for this question. No bites. I didn't see it written anywhere on the site so thought I'd ask. Continue with same login or start a new one....

Hello When reapplying for a visitor visa does one keep the login name and password and try from there or is it best to create a new account? Also, the barcode I received before, do I use it again or redo that too? Thank you very much

Hi Wouldn't it show good faith that you have been to Canada twice before and both times you left on the dates of your plan ticket. Also, it would show you didn't cause any hick-ups when you were there last time. I think it would show a relationship with the country. That's what I think.
