Probably a good idea, thanks again.

Thanks for your reply Stef. I have called my MP's office (to double check, they are usually helpful) as well as the Trinidad Consulate located here to figure out the turnaround time for requesting the police certificate. Even if we were in Trinidad it can take 6-8 weeks. Glad to hear of your...

Thanks for you reply as well NewUser2018. I was hoping it would not be needed. I think I need to send it with the application though......I did not think you could submit the application and they would start processing without it.

Thank you for your reply razerblade, I think you are right. I guess I was hopeful that it would not be needed.......

Hi folks, my husband is now applying for his citizenship. I'm not sure though if he needs a police certificate or not. During his eligibility period, he had to travel back to Trinidad twice because his mother was ill. The first trip in 2014 was 17 days. The second trip in 2015 was longer as...

You are welcome and best wishes. I always vote for being proactive with IRCC.

You are most welcome. In the immigration process relief is usually much needed. ;) You are blessed that you can both be together for the waiting game. Typically the US/Canadian couples have the least painful process so that is on your side as well. Best wishes.

Yes you must declare him because if you do not and they find out you have "misrepresented" yourself - that can have very serious consequences. And no you will not be able to include him at a later date if you do not declare him now. Many divorced spouses have acrimonious situations with their...

Yes you can do a simple fix now because you have not submitted it yet so just put a line through it on the paper app. and make a note it was done in error and state the correct address. I had to do a few fixes by hand (not address but other items) on my husbands PR app. after I validated and...

Here is the link to the thread below, that I started when I encountered my problem - and the ensuing frustrations it caused - in trying to get it resolved. Also the support and encouragement I received from others. All the details are discussed in there...

I suggest you write a very detailed letter outlining factually what has happened. If you submitted a paper application then you would send the letter to CPC-M addressed to a "senior manager" and make sure you get proof of a signed courier slip when you send it. Alternatively if you have linked...

Yes it is because in many countries the VO is located very far away from where the applicants live. There are also Visa Application Centres (VACs) in most countries now and they do the routine processing of most applications - TRVs being one of them. You still need to check the specific...

I do not think this is an option (however I am not 100% sure). From what I understand about the process - if Pakistan is your home country the passport must be processed by the Visa Office (VO) that serves your home country. Do you need the TRV and your passport to travel to Libya? If not, I...

If this is a common practice in China with birth certificates the VO should be aware of it. Yes for sure you would still need to include a letter explaining the issue so that it is not left unaddressed. Once the babies are named is it typical that people would then apply for a new birth...

I would recommend she renew with her married name after you are wed but before you file sponsorship. It just adds another layer of proof and it all helps. I would guess that when renewing a passport with a married name she would have to have proof of the marriage (not sure what country you are...

Hello simpsol22 and everyone else who offered encouragement and support regarding the situation with my step-son's PR application being mistakenly returned to us as "incomplete" when it was not. Sorry about the delayed follow up but it has taken this long to be fully resolved. After submitting...

Thanks simpsol22 ;)

Reply: Application Refused but it is complete!! Now What? Hello all and my apologies for the absence. I was "rushing out the door" on my last post and then have not posted since. :D So, I heard back from the minister's office (USELESS) tried to get some help from a few of the call centre...

thanks methyl +1 and hope springs eternal ;)

rushing out the door now but will be back with an update later ;)
