So pretty much the only option is going for social assistance and letting them go after her?

Hi all. I landed as a PR in January and the relationship was ended a few weeks later. I know by signing the sponsorship agreement, my ex is supposed to be responsible for what I need for up to three years from landing. I'm having a hard time finding out how to enforce this. I've been to...

1. no, when i started my application my girlfriend was 19 2. proof of funds/funds do not matter for spouses on PR applications 3. you will have to continue to renew. 4. no, you can get one in canada. on the CIC website there will be a list of 'designated medical practitioners' in your area...

don't believe it if you don't want to :P out of the MANY times i have crossed, i remember only three times being easy/with no further questions. and everytime they ask said 'fairly standard question', we get taken into immigration and questioned for 40 min to two hours. it doesn't freak me out...

honestly it's up to you and your judgment what you choose to do, no one here can really offer you advice because it's all up to whatever IO you get. anyone can miss their flight or choose not to leave canada, having a return ticket really doesn't mean anything, and you going in with your...

they can't tell because you paid the fee to mississauga, not to detroit. mississauga, i believe, should just be forwarding them the confirmation that you paid the fees. have you tried calling and asking anyone? i personally paid my fees after they asked for them, and i had to send them to...

at buffalo, you can park right in the HSBC centre, they have an underground parking lot. oh, don't forget some cash to pay for your parking! i think mine was $2-3 dollars but i didn't have cash so i had to use an ATM. it's a HUGE office because it's not just for canada, they are just renting a...

hi again all! i'm back with my story of landing. just to backtrack a bit, i was in canada as a visitor before i applied for my outside PR, and i stayed in canada with my common-law the entire time my application was being processed. we didn't have any hitches except when they wanted a common-law...

all went well! took less than 45 minutes! now on the way home, thankfully it's not supposed to be too snowy today. hope landing is quicky and smooth!

about 4 and a half, i got my e-mail a few weeks ago! thank you so much for the help, scylla!

blah! yeah, reading through it, it looks like i'll be there around 7 AM. time to get to bed then. i'll report back with my experience in a few days, i probably won't get home until tomorrow night! i'm nervous and excited. sooo glad it's almost all over. another question while i think about it -...

i'm in buffalo right now, waiting to go get my visa in the morning! two questions: do i have to be there at 8 AM, or from 8 to 11 like the e-mail says? just wondering because i drove from florida to buffalo last night with looots of snow in the way and wouldn't mind getting some rest! also, do...

if i returned it to a company over the border, i would have no way to get back across the border ::)

since a uhaul is too expensive, we've decided to ditch some of our furniture and just rent a car to take from FL to canada to land. but i can't for the life of me find a car rental place that will let me rent from the states to canada! which is ridiculous - obviously there are SOME out there...

thank you! also, when submitting my passport w/ 3 recent pictures.. what are those pictures for?? i just dyed my hair blue and i don't really want the pictures to be used for any ID cards or anything, haha!
