    2012 Quebec Inland Applicants

    For my German wife's driver license translation to french (for the exchange at SAAQ) we went to : http://asiatis.ca/fr/contact/ Might not be the cheapest however at it was 57.45$ with taxes for it. Might be worth to get a quotation.

    2012 Quebec Inland Applicants

    It is why when people apply for PR it is best to also include in the same enveloppe an application for OWP (with mention to be processed only when AIP is granted please) or even a visitor extension. That combined with the PR will give what is called implied status which means you are considered...

    AIP is not really a status in itself, as far as I know CIC will rarely remove people that have AIP even if their visitor status is expired, but technically an applicant should remain in a valid status the whole process. OWP is handy because that will keep you in a valid status, you can get a SIN...

    At the time we did our application back in late 2011, it was still taking 10-11 months on average; since 2012, it is usually faster, some got it in 5 to 6 months but these are only average and could differ based on each case.

    Visitor cannot have a driving license exchange but with an OWP it is fine (gives a temporary resident status). However it can take 2 months to get an appointment..depending where you are (we were at the Henri Bourrassa Office in MTL). Take note a flat lease contract or "bail" is not accepted at...

    Wrong Address Shown

    Don't know at what step you are, but if a wrong or incomplete address is showing on the left like on my wife's it was (when the mailing address was fine) it could mean CIC might have wrong information in part of their system. Better to call them to clear that out. We did update our mailing...

    Food for thought - marriage fraud and scam-artists

    I double that, you enter canada because of your sponsor ? If you played such a game to enter Canada and then vanish in nature that is misrepresentation to me and should be immediate deportation

She...

    2012 Quebec Inland Applicants

    Hello, Both the sponsor and the applicant got a different UIC number. Make sure you use the right one for the right user. I could never manage to connect using the application number before we got our AoR and both our UICs. If you are sure you enter the right information, name, birth date and...

    If my wife had committed any crime since she was in Canada and if she had dependencies back in her country, it is pretty much it. Really nothing to worry about.

    Visitor Status paying health contribution in Quebec?

    It is not as a dependant per see I declared her, but we just did a joint tax report. Impot rapide (even the one online) let you choose to do a joint tax report which we did. That way I could add her 0$ revenu to mine and also have her personal credit transfered to me. However both tax reports...

Result: even if...
