    Problems with Application for PR travel document

    As I expected, my PR travel document was granted without problems. I posted the application on 14th August, it was granted on 20th August and my passport with the appropriate sticker in it was delivered to me by courier this morning (24th August). 10 days from start to finish! My faith in...

    Problems with Application for PR travel document

    Many thanks for all of you who have replied to my query. I am writing this before following the steps recommended by Goose 21, but will do so this morning. I landed in Canada in April 2014 and my spouse has subsequently had a house built for us there. It is at present lived in by a...

    Problems with Application for PR travel document

    Many thanks 21 Goose; but I am familiar with the page you refer to and can see nothing helpful in it: notwithstanding the title 'how to pay your fees' at the bottom of the first page (and over) it really says nothing of any use: ''remember to include your receipt..keep a copy for your records''...

    Problems with Application for PR travel document

    I am a PR, granted my status in 2014. For the whole of the 5 years since then I have been living in the UK with a Canadian common law spouse and so can rely on the whole of those 5 years as complying with the residency requirement. However the validity of my PR card has expired (in June this...

    Residency conditions and BC medicare.

    I would be very grateful for some advice on the following points. First, however, a brief outline of the background. I have been living with a Canadian citizen in the UK for the last 25 years. She has a house in BC and it has been our intention for several years to live there eventually: she...

    A few questions I can't get answered anywhere else please help.

    Although a landed PR I have still not moved to Canada and am therefore not writing this from personal experience. From reading the discussions on this forum for several years however I believe it is correct that the medical coverage varies from province to province in Canada; so it depends...

    typo error

    I would not worry about such trivial mistakes, though it would be a good idea to get your representative to send a letter correcting the mistakes.

    Catch 22 - London Office much compressed processing times

    Sorry, I have nothing further of much use to say in reply to your queries. I only resorted to a case specific inquiry once in my own case: progress with my application had been very slow, nothing untoward had been revealed in the searches I made and I was concerned that the validity of my...

    Catch 22 - London Office much compressed processing times

    This is just a suggestion which you will need to check carefully against the facts which you know and we do not: for example whether you have children (which would complicate any new plan), what your financial circumstances are, what exactly you told CIC in your application form as sponsor, and...

    simple divorce in canada

    You appear to know very little about matrimonial law and realistically your only option is to consult a lawyer to act for you. I am not a Canadian lawyer and so this short post is simply to provide some minimal guidance. Point 1 is that no one can force you to live with your wife. The second...

    undeclared marital status

    I agree, but simply add a further point which no one has as yet identified. If she gets an annulment of her first marriage, will she ever have been married? If never married, no misrepresentation and no obstacle to sponsoring a new husband! But is a Filipino marriage which is annulled void ab...

    Medical

    I am from Wales but did my medical in Canada in April 2014. I see from my file that I paid the panel physician C$200 and a further fee of C$80 for an Xray. I think that was it: C$280, about half what you would have to pay in Ireland (and probably Wales as well). Before you decide what to do...

    Notarise documents?

    My last contribution to this thread. Via Google I have discovered that the Immigrant's Documents Checklist relevant to Australia is for present purposes identical to the requirements of the checklist relevant to the UK. It requires two 'statutory declarations' (that is a quotation, from the...

    Notarise documents?

    I understand that you are in Australia. I know nothing of Australian law. If you were in England or Wales you would not need to be present at the signing. You would simply hand the document to the declarant and tell him/her to take it to a solicitor to get it signed (promising to pay the fee on...

    Notarise documents?

    Correct: describing the relationship over the period during which they have known you both. So, if you are applying as common law, for at least one year, but the longer the better.

    Notarise documents?

    Good to hear that someone has such faith in lawyers! After 50 years in practice as a lawyer I read that as if it were music to my ears! A pity that what he was told is wrong.

    Notarise documents?

    Sorry, I do not fully understand your question. Statutory declarations are not 'notarized'. The use of that word simply confuses the issue. Nor do the statutory declarations required by CIC have to be written on any CIC form. IMM 5409 is not usually required at all; it is only required when a...

    Notarise documents?

    That is not quite right. Superman is confusing statutory declarations and notarized documents. The latter are sworn before a notary public. Notaries public do exist in the UK but they are few and far between. So far as I am aware CIC does not require anything to be sworn before a notary. I...

    Medical

    Are you applying inland or outland? If the former, you are not required to undergo an upfront medical and in that event you can postpone the medical until CIC asks you . In such a case CIC will when requiring you to submit to a medical exam send you a form IMM1017 which you must take with you...
