    Blue or Black Ink?

    Honestly! I'm normally VERY careful and precise, but apparently, I spent too much time focusing on what I thought were the really important parts of my wife and step-daughter's PR application, like the information and details! Now, I discover a detail, that granted, I missed, but didn't think...

    Ukraine: Family Class Questions/Possible Complications?

    Hi all. In advance, thanks for all the patient and helpful assistance. My Ukrainian fiancee and I seem to have determined that while being apart for 18 months for an outbound application, while less than ideal, is the possibly the quickest, safest, and easiest way to bring here and her daughter...

    Ukrainian on TRV & PR app but child in Ukraine. Can child join parent in Canada?

    Good day. Like so many of you, my story is both similar and yet unique enough that I don't have a clear answer to my dilemma, so I'm turning to the experts here, because trying to get through to the CIC is next to impossible, and I can't afford to waste time. In advance, thanks for reading...
