In fact, we are both wrong. CIC's own website says what to do when you need to report immigration fraud. She needs to ring them up and they will deal with it. Although, I'm not sure how she can dial an 888 number internationally. Maybe just call the main number and they can redirect the call...

Sorry, I disagree with this. You do not need anything except your own marriage certificate. I am assuming they will have applied through Islamabad. Send them a case specific enquiry through the cic website. Just full in the fields as best you can. Don't worry about the optional fields. Give them...

Only in Canada would you go for ice cream when it's -20°C with the wind chill :P

Ridiculous isn't it? Makes the whole +1-1 a complete joke. He's mentioned it to the admin and they've done nothing. Whoever is doing it has likely got a chip on their shoulder because zardoz called them out for trying to scam the immigration system in some way. Total douche! +1 for you for...

LOL accidentally deleted my message when I tried to edit something. Yes, I do agree that it helps that the applicant has employment lined up, but the entire application is moot if the sponsor cannot convince them.

As you are a PR, you must reside in Canada in order to sponsor your spouse.

Processing time for Manila is 14 months. You are still well within their time lines. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp#asia

You cannot get an OWP when you apply outland.

As you've given virtually no information, we can't really guide you. Here is the link to processing times by visa office. I'm assuming you've applied outland. Have a look and hopefully you'll find the answer you are looking for. Beyond that, we can't really help you. Every application is...

Please don't worry yourself over "what ifs". I know, I know, easier said than done. My husband and I have a twenty year age difference. On the day I was born, he was likely helping to plan his first wedding lol. He has two children from his first marriage. Yet, our application sailed through...

Being brutally honest, I don't think they care. I doubt a holiday would be seen as critical in their eyes. :( Can your shipping company not store the items for you until you are ready to receive them? Have you got family or friends who can help you out and arrange to have them shipped at a...

OHIP is based on residency. You cannot apply until you actually live in Ontario. Here's a link to OHIP's eligibility... http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/publications/ohip/ohip_eligibility.aspx

If it wasn't important, they wouldn't have asked for it on the checklist. That letter does not just apply to sponsors working in Canada. Why risk your application because you deliberately didn't include something? I wish you luck, but I would err on the side of caution.

We were in the exact same position. I am Canadian living in the UK and sponsoring my husband. I too didn't want to let my employer know what I was doing. I simply went to our HR department and said, I'm Canadian, I need to provide a letter with these details for visa purposes. I left it at that...

Oh no! That's rubbish. With so many countries involved, they should assume that not every country writes dates in the same sequence. They should have written out the month in words to avoid confusion. That's what they did on my husband's CoPR. I hope they come back to you with a favourable response.
