You have made one mistake by overstaying illegally in one country. By not being truthful and not submitting the PCC, you will be making a 2nd mistake with a second country's immigration system. Consulting an immigration attorney would be the best course of action. If it were me, I would be...

When one goes from Temporary foreign worker status to a landed immigrant status, it doesn't have effect on how he is employed by his current employer. Assuming your friend is still holding the same passport, he can be on his native country's payroll (because he is a citizen there) while working...

The solution is in your question. The entry/exit stamps from your spouse's passport are the best way to substantiate travel movements. I always take a picture with my cell phone immediately after a customs officer stamps my passport and save it in my laptop because sometimes they tend to stamp...

There are many successful cases where the applicant resided in Quebec province and applied for PR under CEC program. However, it is imperative that you move out of Quebec during the process or immediately after. Either way, you will have to prove to CIC about your intention to relocate out of...

Sent our passports on 01/19/2015 and received them back today 02/07/2015. That's 3 weeks from door to door.
