just exactly how detailed do these lists have to be? do you list every shirt and every shoe, or just the big stuff?

What is the best way to get affordable car insurance as a newcomer to Canada? They seem to rip off immigrants from what I have seen by the sample quotes I have been getting...

It seems that Canadian insurers think that immigrants from countries other than UK and USa are made of money...I was quoted 400 bucks a month to insure a car..how to keep it cheap?

Thanks for the advice, always nice to try here before I brave the bureaucratic machinery and try to get an official answer. Needless to say I will check in with Canadian immigration before we head out. We didn't know about the baby until after I had sent in the paperwork, and this is a confusing...

What to do? I just got my visa and plan on landing in Canada around July. By that time our baby will have been born, but outside Canada. The wife (sponsor, naturalized Canadian citizen) plans on getting the babe hooked up with Canadian citizenship right after birth, and we will take the little...

Sounds like you provided enough proof. Just sit tight and if they have any doubts, then yes you will be called in for an interview.

they probably pour over the paperwork and ask you about any inconsistencies, for a start. they also probaby ask you about how you met, which side of the bed do you usuallly sleep on, whether you wear boxers or briefs, favourite food, etc. What's the problem? Refusing to answer any questions is...

good for you, it sounds like they want the passport so that they can glue the visa into it...relax, they wouldnt ask for the passsport otherwise.

the sponsor is a citizen of Canada but living overseas (with me). I wanted to go first, get a head start on job hunting, and find a flat; the sponsor (wife) would join me in about a month's time after she quits her job, and ties up loose ends, etc...that's our prefered plan anyway. The lady at...

We have been told on this forum and elsewhere that the sponsor (in this case spouse) must either be waiting in Canada or accompany the immigrant through the first point of entry. Yet today at the Canadian embassy, the lady at the window told me that this is not the case (ie I can go first and my...

..and can I expect to be told that my wife (who is the sponsor, living with me outside Canada) has to land with me, or can I go a month early?

excellent, thanks for the info.

Hello, so we have the visa and supposedly we have until August 2010 to "land," as they call it. What happens if we don't have our flat sold by then, or other issues? Can we come back to our country of departure for however long we want after we land in order to tie up loose ends??

ok got the passport request today by email, looks like were good to go!

Passport request recieved today via email! Good luck to all who are still waiting!

what about listing former employers and residences on the applications? I left out a few here and there just because I honestly couldnt remember (ie, some part time job I had for two months way back in 1999, some flat I lived in temporarily over the summer while in college, etc). They surely...

Sure, why not? That London office seems quick. Lucky you!

just out of curiosity, which visa office is your husband applying from? At any rate, your safest bet is obviously to contact an immigration lawyer. your case will demand professional help.

A good idea would be to fax the form with all the required info, and just in case send it with a cover letter explaining that you are sending extra info that they requested. In the cover letter be sure to include ALL your personal info (name, address, phone, and case number).

well, sorry to heart about this major snag in your case. I hope you get it figured out. As for how they found out about the marriage, the question of how isn't as important (although it certainly is interesting) as is the fact that the boys and girls at CIC sure do their homework. So if anyone...
