I've been thinking of what we can do. We can see the issues across the board - new digital applications are wrapped up in good time. Paper-based, pre-digital applications are almost forgotten until yearrrs later. Can we all file complaints or suggestion messages to CIC in an organized matter...

Hi all We have an interview in 1.5 weeks and my wife, working in health services, needs to know exactly how long she can be away from the hospital. We have a relatively straight-forward situation. She has a kid, we both work here in Canada, no criminal history except some stupid minor thing...

Would this be problematic? Do I need to get it changed at my interview or does the issuing office (High Commission in London, England) need to send a whole new one? What happens? I am eager to figure this out because my interview, which I was warned by CIC call centre would be 8 weeks...is only...

Hi all If I include a IMM1444 - Application for criminal rehabilitation for INFORMATION ONLY, do I pay any fees? I am not asking for rehabilitation application, rather I am just providing some info regarding my police check as 'no live trace', indicating I have been arrested but it was all...

Hi all Quick one. The spouse-sponsor questionnaire asks about how we met, how our relationship developed, marriage engagement and honeymoon info, and how we stayed in contact......but then the checklist IMM3901e asks to include proof of relationship. How are these any different? We haven't...

Hi I found the following form: xxx .cpj.ca/sites/default/files/docs/stdec_3rd.pdf I thought this could be good for everybody to do it as quick as possible or would individual letters by each person have better weight/more convincing it wasn't set up by me or the sponsor? Thank you.

As the title says. I am from the UK, and if we travel within Europe we don't get stamped. I did a whole bunch of travelling on a work contract during a 6 week period and cannot recall the details whatsoever. Detailing travel info for modern people that travel MINIMUM once a year is incredibly...

1. Does the medical result 1-year count down start as soon as I get the results or as soon as I submit them? (I am also assuming the count down doesn't freeze when I submit the application like the police check..?) 2. Does every document that I submit need to be notarized? E.G. copy of passport...

Hi So this is gonna be a long one, but I'll try and break it down in to chunks. Setting: I am in Canada from England on a temp work permit (working holiday initiative) that expires January 2015 I am working in a fantastic security job in a career I don't want to risk disrupting by having to...

Hi all I luckily received an open work permit through the International Experience Canada (IEC / Working Holiday) initiative and it's valid for 1 year. Now, does this year start from the actual entry to Canada or from 1 year from the issue of the Port Of Entry (POE) letter through CIC online...

EDIT: Nevermind. I just got the acceptance email :)

Hello all. I know I do not need any special permission to enter Canada as a tourist being a UK national. But stay with me on this... I came to Canada for 6 months with my return ticket booked and paid for at the 6 month mark. It is currently just after the 2 month mark and my partner...

Can I do this? EDIT: It is probably worth adding that I am here as a tourist from 12th Sept 13 to 01st Mar 14 (6 months) staying with my fiance. We originally wanted to get married then apply for PR by being sponsored under family class (UK to Alberta), then apply for the working holiday as a...

Hi all. We have a bit of a conundrum. I am in Edmonton, Alberta from the UK. Been here a little over 2 months and therefore have approx 3.75 months left for my stay here. Clearly we will need to extend the visitor permit by approximately 12 months as the spouse-sponsored family class visa...

I am having some trouble on how to cite the following offence on the rehabilitation application form. The application PDF will not allow any more than 17 characters so I am thinking either I am doing this wrong or I am completely off. Maybe the form just isn't created correctly and I am thinking...

Hello all My partner and I had heard of some horror stories of being detained and questioned before being allowed to enter Canada, and even from a brother-in-law with coming from USA and only being allowed 1 month despite everything else checking out. See here: Tourist for 6 months visiting my...

Hi all I am coming over as a tourist for the first 6 months, marrying, applying for PR, extending stay for another 12 months until PR comes through. My partner and I were discussing how to improve our chances of being able to enter Canada at the airport. We come up with having a quick letter...

Hi all So we are going to get married February 2014 but I need to pack in 4 weeks to travel out there as a tourist. I have been looking over the Service Alberta website and it says: "Both parties must provide their parents' full names and place of birth" does this just mean I write it down on...

Hi all Quick recap of our plans. I go from UK to Canada with a plane ticket booked for just under 6 months to show I plan to return if I need to. We marry within the first 6 months and send off an application for PR under 'spouse' in family class. After 5 months of my visit we apply for a 12...

Hi all. I am intending on applying for family visa through spouse route. My sister who will not be coming with me, had last night been cautioned for weed possession. Will this be detrimental to my application?
