My GCKey updated and said I was approved with the message "Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.". However, there are no messages below. Any ideas?

Edit: I am the principal applicant
It's normal. It takes a while for all the systems to sync up. Sometimes you get DM emails while your GCKEY still says in process and sometimes it's the other way around. I had my interview scheduled before I got the DM, lol.

No need to worry, it can take a few days.

Also, does this mean they received my PPR request documents I mailed to them? We are having issues with potentially it not getting to them (either being lost in the mail or delayed), I was working on sending it to them again

Hello all,

I recently got married to the love of my life in my country of origin. I am a Canadian citizen and wish to apply for my wife’s immigration.

Upon looking at her current passport, I see that her first name has been left blank and the last name section is where her first name is printed. Her birth certificate when it was made mentions just her first name and no last name to go with it.

Please advise what I should do in order to ensure a complete application for her immigration

Thank you in advance.

Yes, this is possible. Mine changed to application approved the day they issued the visa. I found an email address for CPC Ottawa on my old papers. It is CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca. You could ask them if they received your documents and explain your situation again.That would probably get you a quicker response.

Hi there,

My partner ( the application) has received his temporary work permit but he is still waiting for an answer for his PR.

Can he traveled outside Canada? I would like to take him to a trip in Jamaica at the end of February, however if he is not able to come back to Canada I might not invite him o_O. ( It's a business trip f

If someone could help with this it would be much appreciated.

There is no guarantee if he'll be allowed back. It's recommended to not leave when you have applied inland.

Hi

I am permanent resident living and working in Canada, my spouse is permanent resident of US. She intents to visit me as I do not have a visa to go to USA. She plans to live like for a month or two and then travel back to fulfill her green card residency obligations since the last time she entered she got a hard time at immigration explaining her reasons to be away from USA.

I am also intending to apply for her permanent residency as my dependent. I am going to apply her as an out land applicant and it is my understanding that she will be able to visit me in Canada during this period.

Will she also face strict questioning at Canadian immigration ? She will tell the immigration officer in Canada that she is visiting her husband (me) for a period of 2 months and would be staying with me during this time. We recently got married (in the country of our origin) but haven't filed her immigration papers yet as we have been debating if it would be better for me to move to US or for her to move to Canada.

I was reading this http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=196&top=17

and I thought I'd ask you guys if someone has been in a similar situation like me or have any words of advice.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm asking few questions for someone and if someone can help that would be great.

Scenario is that a guy is in Canada after marriage and girl is outside of Canada. Guy wants to sponsor the wife so they can live together in Canada. What are their best options? So far they are thinking on the following lines:

1. Girl applies for a visitor visa so she can come to Canada. If this is ok then what are the chances of getting a visitor visa?
2. After getting the visitor visa, girl comes to Canada and guy applies for her sponsorship and OWP.
3. Girl can stay in Canada till the finalization of her sponsorship application. Does she need to keep extending her visitor visa or OWP?

Is the above process legit without any challenges? If not what could be the challenges or other options? Thanks
