    Online Applications from the US

    When you apply online and the visa office requests your passport to put a stamp on it, they request to have EAPP written on the address in the envelope; I believe it stands for Electronic APPlication and is a way for them to know that this was already processed online and just needs to have the...

    do supporting documents need Certified translation?

    Yes, it is preferable to have them in English. I have a bank account overseas on a non-english-speaking country and I included it in my application, I mentioned that I was including the bank statements literally as I received them, and if needed I would provide any translation. What helped me...

    spouse visit

    Woah, woah, big words here. Yes, there are some occasions that CIC makes 'not-so-reasonable' decisions, however there is always a reason why they did it. I am hispanic, I am Mexican, I have a Permanent Residence application in progress and I have been granted two temporary resident visas to...

    SEPTEMBER 2013 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS

    I am intrigued by this as well, the only reason why I can think of (and please excuse me, maybe I'm going over the line here with a prejudice) is that they might have seen his tattoos on the photos and would want to clarify that he does not belong to a gang or something like that. Again, maybe...

    when does the "visitor visa" expires?

    Lets make clear the difference between the visa and the time you are allowed to be in: For single entry visas, they seem to be valid for 6 months after they were emitted For multiple entry it depends on how long the VO decided to extend it for. For most countries and unless specifically told...

    Mexico

    Has anyone ever done their PGR in advance? My app was forwarded to Mexico VO last month so its probably in a pile somewhere; I was thinking if I could get my PGR done in advance. I do not reside in Mexico (but I am Mexican), so I would need to do what is detailed here (which is pretty much the...

    Can the spouse apply outside her country of origin?

    Please keep in mind that is also up to the discretion of CIC to determine where the application should go, I reside in a country different than my nationality (for over a year) and CIC decided to forward my case to my country of nationality (same processing time, so it was ok with me!)

    Online Applications from the US

    To be honest I've also read horror stories about the times for NY. If you can, I would send it to LA, I've had now two relatively good return times with them. Also important (just in case) for internet based applications: Make sure you write EAPP on the address, a lot of people just write the...

    Thanks for the response, I'm trying to find the specific law/manual where that is defined to read further. I work for a company that provides a technology platform (like.. Amazon Web Services). This technology is open to be used by anyone. There are Canadian clients/users, however nothing is...
