I'm not sure, but the first thing that popped into my mind when I read your post was the question: Did you pay all of your fees upfront? If you paid the landing fee there might be a possibility it could be refunded. Also, I think you might want to mention it to them so that it's on record if...

You each write a letter. You don't need one from her parents necessarily, but if you have letters from other family or friends that you can submit as proof that you are in a genuine on-going relationship these things will only help your case. It might be wise to disclose the fact that you...

I think it's kind of awesome that you're experiencing all of that now with him. You'll remember what to point out to him when you get home in Canada (I pray that will be soon!) I find otherworld countries to run at a much more relaxed pace than Canada does. That might be just what the doctor...

If you haven't dealt with CIC in the past, you won't have an ID number Leave that space blank on the forms if you don't have a number If you are sending in extra information (some questions require additional sheets of paper) make sure you have your full name and birthday on the top of each...

First off, congratulations Second, everything you need to get your application filled out is on the CIC website I'm guessing you are applying from outside Canada. If so, your checklist and forms are here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp#immigrate And here is your...

Whew Well, one worry down at least. Good luck with the rest of the process! Wouldn't it be sweet if that ends up being the only bump in the road?

As long as they can read it, you're fine. Use black or dark blue ink though.

What might be considered proof aside from my plane ticket? Just so I can have additional on me just in case. My marriage certificate and proof of my spouse's address?

It's usually one year after the medical, but sometimes they extend it a month or two to allow the applicant to get their affairs in order and buy their ticket at a less insane price before they go. If an addition medical has been done (after the first expires) it's based on the passport I think...

Great! Thank you so much to all of you for your quick and helpful replies!

From what I understand, I will need to land in Toronto or Montreal before heading to my province of residence. I realize there is an added form for those wishing to reside in Quebec when we fill out our original visa application, but if I'm just doing my landing there and heading home do I need...

CIC will know you are married if your husband sent in the forms. If he didn't send anything, they don't need to know. He would need to mention it for income tax purposes, but that's not through CIC

If you are divorced you will not come to Canada through your husband. As soon as CIC knows the relationship has ended he will no longer be able to sponsor you Legally you can find other ways to bring yourself to Canada without him sponsoring you. If he decided this recently, you might want to...
