Indeed - Canadians living abroad have to send proofs to CIC that they intend to return to Canada and establish themselves there once the PR for their spouse is approved. In this case, if the husband goes and visit his wife, most likely he will still have strong ties to Canada - a house to return...

you should inform CIC once you're a citizen and send the proof of it, also because it means that you can be outside of Canada if you wish... as a PR, you're required to be in Canada the whole time while sponsoring your spouse, but as a Canadian citizen, you can be outside of Canada as well - so...

If you're worried about it, you can get a "travel document" - it's mostly used for people from non-visa-exempt country that need to justify their entry to Canada before they board the airplane, but it would work in your case... You could flagpole (so the clock starts ticking for the PR card)...

As Zardoz said - the COPR is enough to get you back into Canada. If you're driving, you can show the COPR stamped when you get back into Canada. If you're flying, you can fly on your british passport, and when you get to the border, you tell them that you are a PR and they can look you up on the...

Because you're visa-exempt, you don't need the card to go back into the country. So if you live close to a border, Seattle/Vancouver it seems, you can drive to the border, flagpole and complete the immigration process at a land border. From Vancouver, in total it could take you less than 3h (...

Hey, There aren't many applicants going through Rome on the forum, but I can try and answer. I went through London, but the processes are similar since your husband is visa-exempt. Usually outland is a better way for most visa-exempt. It's faster, and it allows you (or your husband in that...

try and call CIC and ask, to confirm that it can be changed at the port of entry. For some details on the COPR, it can be done, for others, the COPR itself needs to be re-issued, and I'm not sure about the DOB. Good luck, Sweden

CPC mississauga is the same for everybody. In Singapore, if you have all the documents about your relationship with your children, it should be faster than the 30 months. There is no "given deadline", and nobody can tell you how long it will take... but typically, what takes a lot of the VO's...

there is no limit to how many times or how many months it can be extended, so applying again is an option. When asking for extension, just include proofs that you already have the sponsorship part done and approved and you are only waiting for the second part, and ask for another extension. If...

it's hit and miss... you can ask for it, and in your case, I would - explain that you would like to get all the proofs back, and hopefully they will send at least some of it. Some people had more luck than others, but if indeed your application is denied, then you have nothing to loose.

Whether to withdraw now, or wait until the decision is made is up to you. You can apply immediately after marrying, as long as you have a marriage certificate. If you have been together for a while (and have proofs of that), then there is no reason why you can't apply just after getting married...

Which VO is processing your visa? for most of visa-exempt applicants, this type of email is the last stage, and you won't be required to send in your passport, as you don't require a visa to enter Canada. Most likely, you are asked to send in a copy of your passport so that they can make sure...

You've done everything you could, and her case is probably well documented. It will protect you in the future as you won't have to pay back welfare (unless she needs it), and once the 3 years of sponsorship is over for you, you won't even have to have contact with her at all - it's hard that you...

There is no definite answer to that :-) as CIC will decide. If you move back to China, you should inform CIC about your change of location and address. If you want your application to be transferred to Beijing, you can let them know at the same time, but it's their decision. They may decide...

B4 are for the goods that you will be bringing with you from India, either now, or later. It allows you to bring things without having to pay taxes on them. If you will be flying with only a "normal suitcase" (nothing very valuable, clothes, etc. ) then you probably don't need anything. If you...

Hey aj~ To answer your question: yes, there is an expiry to the Police certificates, but CIC doesn't always ask for a new one. For the medicals: they need to be valid when you land, and CIC can decide to extend them (and you won't necessary know about it, as they don't inform you about it -...

CIC and CBSA don't necessary have the means to investigate much further. You have done your part - reporting her to CIC and CBSA - and because of that, IF she tries to sponsor somebody else (even after the 5 years), it will be more difficult for her. I'm not sure you will ever get a report back...

no you don't. Bring the COPR + passport, that's the only required documents. Make sure that your passport get stamped and the COPR # is written on it, otherwise you won't be able to get a permanent SIN right away. Sweden

for inland, once a decision is made you will be given an appointment to officially "land as a PR" at one of the CIC offices. Waiting time vary depending on your place of residence, as it depends how busy the CIC offices in your area is. Sweden

How did you apply for your PR? if it's through spousal sponsorship, it doesn't matter - it's a federal program and you can move to Ontario without issues. If you have applied through a specific immigration stream, then it depends on the conditions. Sweden
