    How to inform VO for pregnancy of Principal Applicant?

    What I meant to say was that if the VO had known about my pregnancy earlier they might have made the decision faster, in time for me to get to Canada and give birth. I was afraid to "bother" them :)) The file went into processing right after I informed them about my pregnancy. But things went...

    Notary refuses to certify photocopy

    You can't double-certify an already certified document. In theory, the translator gives a translatation already certified (which wouldn't require certification). If that's not the case of your legal system, then you either get the translation and certify it (which is done by making a copy of...

    What to do after receiving the Certificate of Selection Quebec?

    You should have already sent that with the initial package. I don't think they would've approved the sponsor if it was missing.

    No, don't worry. You might or might not receive an email saying they received your papers and that they are proccesing your request for sponsor approval. Or might just receive the mail with the decision around the end of the processing time for the first stage which u can find on the cic...

    Can sponsor leave canada?

    I think a good lawyer could explain better the difference between residing in another country while PR of Canada and visiting another country while PR of Canada. Canlii decisions explain pretty well why those cases were dismissed. In the end i have nothing to gain and nothing to lose, but...

    Oh I'm sorry for your husband, hope everything goes well. Might just be an urinary tract infection or a stone or some sand.

    Can sponsor leave canada?

    I said the VO was fully aware if the visits, that includes length. I have no mention in the notes, that we requested a month before DM, about us breaking any rule. And living and visiting are two different things. They allow visiting, they dont say for how long... But if everyone says they're...

    Can sponsor leave canada?

    I didn't mean to insinuate the rule says anything else than it actually says. I'm saying that when trying to understand a law, one should also think about what the ruler intented to prevent by inforcing that law. CIC didn't wake up one morning and decided PR sponsors have to be in Canada just...

    Can sponsor leave canada?

    Whoa whoa, wait. Advising to cancel the application is a little bit extreme. I have read many times this advice for PR sponsors, that they shouldnt leave Canada for more than 2-3 weeks even if i havent seen the lenght of time actually written in the CIC procedure manuals. I won't tell you "go...

    Romanian Timeline - In Process

    I would write a letter explaining them that and add proofs: - letter from friends or family saying they are waiting for him that they will house you or help you find a lease - potential employers or explain his job prospectives once he returns - bank accounts in canada if he still has - any...

    Betine don't bother about security and criminality. I received PPR in oct and the GCMS notes dated in september had security and criminality not started, so they might do that at the end of your processing. If the date concerning sponsor's return is bothering you and you don't hear anything...

    They did a little mistake I think. They left the name and personal email of an officer in charged with eligibility .. I thought they were supoose to show only initials :)) I think the medicals are the last step and it doesnt take that long anymore cause it's done online.

    Being on Welfare - Something you guys should know

    It's not such a black and white rule. I know cases of sponsor that got approval while being on welfare. For sure being on welfare before applying has less chances of affecting the application.
