Hi Folks! Long time lurker, and hope to offer some of our experiences to help out in a few weeks: right now up to our necks in preparations! Need to check something ASAP, as about to commit to non refundable flights tomorrow...... So, just now panicking that we got everything in the envelope...

Awesome suggestions you guys! I have included a note that goes along the lines of what waitingintz suggested. Also, I have asked my friends to provide signed letters of support. Thanks so much everyone! :D

Yes, that makes good sense. I have decided not to include a request now. Thank you canadianwoman!

So many great replies! Before I begin, I'd like to thank all you guys for helping me out ;D It is heart-warming to see all the advice and support given here. It's been rather harrowing for both my spouse and I because we are living in a foreign land and don't have much in the way of...

Poetic, it's reassuring to know someone in the same boat! Goodluck to you too! :P

rjessome, thanks for the great suggestions. I didn't think to describe the toll it's taken/potentially will take and will include it in my letter. As well,it seems that others cannot ask for my information according to this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/index.asp I also looked...

Thanks for your replies everyone! Just to be clear, I have no intention of misleading CIC about the situation. I'm being 100% honest on every part of the application. I really want PR but am just not willing to take that sort of risk! Unfortunately, on the Sponsorship Questionnaire I must...

Hi everyone, Thanks to your help, I was able to call the CIC today :) One of the things I asked them was about privacy concerning whether or not they would contact my parents (since their addresses will be on the Sponsor Questionnaire form). They said normally they do not, but sometimes they...

Thanks so much both SaugaBoss and matthewc! LOL, I felt slightly ridiculous posting with that title but I wanted it to be catching to the eye. Guess it worked ;D To the mods: Should we make this a sticky? I think a lot of embassies don't take calls anymore and perhaps this number will be a lot...

Hi Everyone, Is there an embassy that will take calls regarding the PR application? I've tried calling Austria, UK, and Germany. I can't use the CIC hotline because I'm not in Canada now. I've sent off emails but don't know if they'll reply in time before one of the police clearances in our...

"Provide birth certificates (long form birth certificate for children, listing the names of both parents), baptismal certificates or other official document confirming relationship (including all pages of Household Registries) for YOU and each of your family members." I had the same trouble...

My thanks too, adzees!

Big Thanks Cdagal! And now to find somebody who can translate from Japanese to English in Prague ???

Same here, we are in Prague and the Vienna Embassy refuses to take phone calls about the PR application. If anyone can please help, at least 3 people would appreciate an answer! Thanks for the info about the IMM 5401 thaihubby. I was afraid I'd have to order one, which would've then delayed our...

one more thing... We don't have to get the photocopies stamped at the notary office do we? I can just photocopy the birth certificates and passports using my printer, right?

Hi Swede, As usual the simplest answer is also the correct one :) Thanks for the reassurance! Sandwish

I too, would like to know the answer to this question. Someone please help! And just to double check (no pun intended), we don't need the IMM 5401 document if we are paying outland? Thanks to anyone who can help,

Wait a sec, can't you pay with money order if you are applying Outland? You need the IMM5401 if you are paying at a Canadian Bank, but is that necessary if you are paying from overseas? If you are paying from overseas, you can use a money order right?! Neither my spouse nor can pay online so...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post here, but I've lurked this forum many times before to help me with my application. Here's one that I've searched high and low for but still can't find a definitive answer to. I would really appreciate anyone's help in this matter! They ask for "notarized...
