    Getting Married in Canada on a Tourist Visa

    No problems with doing it that way. My fiance came here on a TRV and we got married at City Hall within a month. The only difference is that she stayed here in Canada and we had to renew her visa twice before our application was approved. Look at it this way. Either you go to Canada on a...

    Can Sponsered Person Leave Canada during process?

    If you're applying from outside Canada, your spouse can leave any time, but there is no guarantee that they will be granted a visa to come back into Canada. If they are from a visa-free Country, there is no guarantee that they will be allowed into Canada either, if the IO isn't convinced that...

    how many photos

    Give them what you have. Some phone records or some msn printouts might not be much on their own, but everything helps build a case to make it strong. I printed out selected emails, and had about 150 developed photos. It might be a lot, but now we got them back and they're going in the album!

    Landing for PR Card, leaving before it's received

    You probably got confused because you're not allowed to ENTER Canada by commercial transport (Air or Sea) until you have your PR card. You can leave whenever you want, using your UK passport as your travel doc.

    When you land...

    To add to what others have said, if you tell them you're going back to the US and not settling in Canada until a later date, they most likely won't send you your PR card until then. They even asked us for a phone # for our Canadian address so that they can confirm residency.

    I am landing this Friday..:)

    Hi Rorita, Have you started the LINC classes yet? My wife landed a week ago, and she just enrolled in the full-time English program at LINC, but we really don't know anything about it or how effective it is. Just wondering if you had any experiences to share! Thanks!

    Help! Passport/Approval letter lost in the mail?

    Thank you for your response, Wilson. We've emailed the office twice, even asking if they could provide the tracking # for the package, and haven't gotten a response. Do you have any other suggestions on what we can do?

    Help! Passport/Approval letter lost in the mail?

    rorita, I am worried that the passport was somehow lost in the mail when they sent it back to us, not the request letter. We sent them the passport back in May, and two weeks after ECAS said Decision Made, we still haven't gotten anything back. Our friend who got a Decision Made a week after...

    Help! Passport/Approval letter lost in the mail?

    On Aug 4, ECAS changed to Decision Made. We figured we'd get our passport back and the approval letter and COPR in the next few days, since we're in Toronto and it's the Tokyo office. It normally takes 5-6 days for delivery. However, we still haven't received anything. A friend whose ECAS...

    Is it okay to shop at outlet malls/duty free before landing?

    Hey all, We're driving from Toronto to Buffalo to land, probably at Peace bridge or Rainbow bridge. We'll be in buffalo for less than 24 hours. Would it be a problem if we did some shopping at nearby malls or at the duty free and brought the stuff over during the landing, or will they make us...

    Possibly Lost Passport In Mail - Please Help!

    ukmike, I'm not familiar with the UK postal system, but with the system in some countries, you won't get an update from Canada Post once it leaves Canada. For example, I sent documents to Manila from Canada, and after "item has left Canada" there were no updates, even though it arrived at its...

    Question about landing at the border and duty/taxes

    Thanks for the response, rorita. The thing is she won't be bringing in any other belongings, as we're already in Canada and we're leaving the country only so that we can re-enter for the landing.
