Marriage took place outside Canada, the spouse was sponsored and PR given for Canada, now resides in Canada. Can a divorce be initiated and granted in the country of the marriage not Canada? thanks

If you have a document that says you are a "full time" employee, it is assumed that your hours are 37 1/2 hours ( a 7.5 hour day) or 40 hours ( an 8 hour day) worked each week by most work standards. If you were part time, then proving the specific hours would be more important to show just how...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081001.wimmi1001/BNStory/National HALIFAX — The investigation into a controversial program that allowed immigrants to buy their way into the country has been handed over to the police. Nova Scotia auditor general Jacques Lapointe would only...

PR Card arrived in the mail yesterday, so that was pretty much 5 weeks, not too bad.

thanks, guess we'll wait on that timeline.

The last info. I read said it would be received in 30 days, anyone have another timeline? thanks

travel_fan, that was great advise for any part of ones' life from marriage, to jobs to other interpersonal relationships. Taking control really does set one free.

We were told that since Toronto Pearson was a main landing point, there would be no problem in ecountering an immigration officer with the language required. Spanish is one of many common languages, but when my husband landed on Sat Aug 9, there was no one there who could communicate in...

hi Chris, My husband was finally approved on July 22 and he arrived on August 9. In late June I wrote to the Embassy in Lima and did not get an answer (I wrote several more times as well and never got an answer), and after two weeks I got my MP's office involved again. They were told from...

Canadian Marriage Fraud NPO, I feel terribly for the situation you are now in. Of course it is not right that this person was able to scam you. Unfortunately, sometimes we spend all our time nurturing the relationship and believing there has been a connection made. That person has made it seem...

That is great that you were able to get information on your case. CONGRATULATIONS on your successful outcome! Before I got my MP involved for a second time on our case and ultimately his PR was granted on July 22, my husband went personally to the Canadian Embassy in Lima in early June to ask...

thanks! Would you believe that when he landed in Toronto, contrary to what I thought and had been told about many immigration officials having various languages, there was no one who could speak spanish!! It many have been a blessing in disguise, they couldn't grill him with their questions and...

If it's to help people to understand what Canadian customs and laws and what acceptable behaviors are here, and to leave certain ones behind, I'm all for it. I've been saying for a long time that immigrants need to have some "cultural adjustment" training before arriving here. Sorry if this...

Thanks again to you all. Yes, it's been long long frustrating and draining experience. I am dreading having anything more to do with the Gov't any time soon in the future. This experience has completely taking away any confidence or positive belief I might have ever had in the Gov't. I haven't...

There is soooo much paperwork I don't know how you can avoid using binder clips or other methods of holding it together. I don't know why they would object to receiving free stationary supplies like that when they'll just be removing them and using them internally again. Think of the free...

Mechanical in the dictionary is defined by machinary or moving parts. Absolutely you can use staples and paper clips to attach the various sections or groups of paper together so they are in the correct order and groups intended. Taping would mean they have to tear the tape off and then you...

leinad, I don't believe he CAN cancel sponsorhip, he might have been able to cancel during the application process before you were granted PR status, but now that you have PR here, he has signed on for the obligation to be financially responsible for the time it states on the application...

My husband had an appt at the Cdn Embassy in Lima on July 22, 2008. They FINALLY gave him his PR Visa!!!!!!!! Timeline: Application Date August 8, 2006 Sponsorship Approval Date Sept 20, 2006 Lima Embassy started processing case Sept 26, 2006 Interview Nov 30, 2006 Passport Requested, handed...

Thanks to you all again. I know many of you have been in a long wait the same as us. I hope "the system" comes through soon for you too. Just keep the faith that it WON'T take 22 months once it got to the processing Embassy, like it did for us.

He submitted the first set of medical and police clearance back in the fall of 2006 when it all started. In Feb 2008 they asked for renewed medical exam and police clearance because this had taken so long it had all expired.
