    Leaving Canada before pr card arrives?

    Hi I just landed in Canada a week ago, but need to go back to Korea for an emergency. Can I leave Canada without my pr card and have my spouse send it to me before I come back? Or will I run into any trouble? Thanks!

    Application Processing Times

    Somebody posted a link to a CIC Excel spreadsheet a few months ago that had a lot more details on application processing times for different offices. It contained, for example, not only the processing times for 80% of all cases but also for 25% and 50% or so. Does any one know what I'm talking...

    Letters from landlords

    I was trying to get my landlords to write or sign letters that confirm that and how long we lived there. While I still have the leases that we signed, I thought this will be helpful because the leases were all month to month and I have no proof of how long we actually stayed in one place. Most...

    2010 Tax return for common law couple - confusing!

    Well, she didn't have any income anyways, I'm just declaring her as my partner for the 2010 tax year to show CIC that we declared our relationship to other government bodies already as well. I'm no expert on anything tax related though and I don't know if CRA should/would/could tax her income if...

    Translation of documents

    If we don't need to hang on to our originals, we can just all requested documents as originals with certified translations, right? (Originals of all documents requested are very easily obtained in the country we are getting them from)

    Translation of documents

    For any docment that is not in English or French, I will send a certified true copy of the original and a notarized tranlation. Unless CIC specifically asks for the originals, i which case I will send the original and a notarized translation. Is this correct? Edit: Also, a copy of the...

    statutory declaration of common-law union

    Once again I'm trying to understand this form but can't make any sense of the top line :( With out any explanation as to what these boxes refer to, there's a box which reads 'Country' and one that reads 'Province/State/Territory'. Right above these boxes it says '(if applicable)'. I have no idea...
