take it easy, step by step. think about it this way. the new semester will be starting on Sept 2nd (well, the tuesday after that). even if in a day they process 10 student applications and 1 family one, very soon student applications will be reduced considerably (at least until Term 2 of the...

i was just reading on here: http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/diplomat-strike-could-be-major-blow-for-canada-s-colleges-universities-1.1391767 that foreign students in Canada bring in $8 BILLION DOLLARS per year. no wonder why the gov't is getting on top of things for them, making sure they can all...

This is also consistent with an email I received on Monday from the university. I quote: “… although students are encouraged to apply (for visas) as early as possible, the Government of Canada has allocated the necessary resources now to ensure that all students will receive their permits and...

thank you! glad you found something useful. i know this board was a lifeline for my immigration questions. i think if people take the time to read and search through the threads, they'll be able to find invaluable information. for my interview i was able to compile a list of over 200 "potential...

this may not offer too much help (and i can't say i've been a regular contributor to this board because i think many of my issues were not as relevant as the ones being raised here) but last friday (as in two days ago) i received a letter from Immigration Canada requesting my prescence to (i...

well... i learned yesterday that the mexican consulate (at least the one in vancouver) gives away letters requesting police certificates too easily and the PGR offices down in mexico didn't quite like that. but the heck with that, if they're giving them they're giving them. nothing more to...

this is what prompeted me to post that thing about the police certificates and the (very unkind) response i got from CIC. me: "hey... so you guys are on strike. i guess that means i get an extension for my police certificate right? i mean YOUR instructions say that i need to ask YOUR embassy...

to the best of my underestanding, these strikes are rotational, so that means certain embassies (or consulates or missions,visa offices, etc.) go on strike for a certain period of time, then they resume operations and another set of them go on strike. i think when you're doing labour...

yes, it's something like that. my father works in lima, peru (he is mexican) and is coming to visit me during the summer. he mentioned that the canadian embassy in peru is not part of the rotating strikes (at least not yet) so he got his temporary resident visa to come visit me in like 5 days...

yes, i know! if you google "Constancia de Antecedentes Registrales PGR", the first link that you get gives you the instructions on how to obtain them by yourself without having to go through the Canadian Embassy. i was just very frustrated because i didnt find out about this strike until...

i know. but i felt compelled to share it with everyone so that if any part of your process (like in my case getting the Informe/Constancia de Datos Registrales) can be done without requiring the embassy, people should maybe consider doing it since it appears as if the attitude of CIC is either...

so i called CIC today asking what to do with the strike that's going on in the canadian embassy because my request for the Informe/Constancia de Datos Registrales (the final document i need, i'm doing an inland application) is most likley stuck there (sent it back on may 21st). the agent's...

which kind of interview? my spouse was interviewed for his investor application and we were both interviewed when as my sponsor. i'm not sure if any of these to relates to your case?

well... here's the thing. look closely at what the link you posted says. on your first link it reads: "Offices that process permanent and temporary residence applications from applicants who have lived for six consecutive months or longer in Mexico since reaching the age of 18 are now required...

i am working on mines as well right now... there seems to be debate in this issue but i believe the answer is 2: the first one is the PGR one which it seems you requested already (the "Informe de datos registrales") the second one is the "certificado de antecedentes no penales" that can only...

maybe this what's different between both of our cases? so did you go and get your PGR police certificate "before" they sent a letter requesting it?

thank you Loops! oh god, this is getting so confusing. ok, so back to basics. i was re-reading this link: (the forum won't let me post links, but if you google How to obtain a police certificate - Mexico it's the first link that shows up) so, i think it says that to get the Constancia de...

i greatly appreciate your help. thank you :) i'll make sure to report back with my experiences to make sure other people can find some guidance regarding what to do...

the person at the consulate told me it takes about 3 months for the informe de datos registrales to be processed when you don't do it in person because it goes from canada to the embassy in mexico, from the embassy to the PGR, then the PGR sends the documents to the embassy and the embassy sends...

so... i'm in the final stages of my process (inland application, my spouse/sponsor and me got approval in principle after the interview, got the open work permit and CIC requested my medicals yesterday). they haven't formally requested the police certificates but my lawyer told me i should be...
