Thanks jomz and habibti for your advice. There is no way I can afford to hire a consultant at this time. Jomz, I plan to submit application in December. If I go visit my husband again in Feb it will be before the interview, and I may be able to send a copy of my itinerary from the airline...

Well I finally am ready to compile my application now that I have the fee saved up. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on a couple of things. I know we have some red flags since I am 13 years older than my husband and also because we only knew each other for 4 months before we were...

Hi ranya, I too am new to this site so I don't know as much as some of the more experienced people here but I believe the process is that the email you received is just a notice that your file is now at your local visa office for review. Unfortunately, it could be as long as 8 months before...

AWWWWWW jomz that is sooooooo romantic! I did the same thing a couple weeks ago, started cleaning out closets and drawers to make room for him even tho it could be 9 months before he gets here. Long distance relationships are so hard, it's these little things that keep us going. Stay strong...

Ok hi all, sorry to stir up the hornet's nest! But rest assured I just got off the phone with CIC and as long as the document is in English or French it's acceptable and they don't all have to be one or the other. That's pretty much what the website says, but it can be misconstrued, especially...

O jomz, I had a feeling that was true, but the translator in Khemisset told my hubby that all documents had to be translated into one language, either English or French!! Do you know for sure it's acceptable to have some in French and some in English?

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, it's so nice to find support from others going thru the same unique situation. I will definitely pack warm jacket and pj's for Feb, thanks for that advice! terry73 I don't have a smart phone OR a data plan so I can't email with it, but I'll try...

Hi all, thanks for the replies and suggestions. For anyone's interest, even tho on CIC's website it says that you can pay at any financial insitution such as banks, credit unions, or western union, I did call them and they said you can't pay via western union. WU does offer a prepaid credit...

I forgot to mention I have several text messages that I would like to include in my application and wondered if any one had any suggestions as to the best way to put them in the application? I had actually typed them all out in microsoft word but I think somehow they want more solid proof of it...

Hello all, I just came across this thread and so excited to find compatriots who also fell in love with wonderful Moroccan men. I am laughing to myself about the weather comments, I was there for my first time in August and am actually looking forward to going back to experience cold weather...

I have a situation such that I can't afford to pay the entire application fee (sponsor, principal applicant and ROPR fees toal $1100.00) at once. I know applications are processed faster when all fees are paid up front but I wondered if anyone knows if I pay the sponsorship and prinicpal...

LOL! So you mean he wants you to take his name? Or is he changing to a 'christian' name. I know a lot of Asian students will take on western name when they come here.

Their website says you can pay online or at a financial institution such as a bank or Western Union. I didn't think I could call them, you know anytime you try to call a government office it seems like you run around in circles! But I can try. Thanks.

Does anyone know if I apply to change my name after I apply to sponsor my spouse to come here will it cause a delay in the approval process? I know that any other changes likely will

Thx for the suggestions, I think the prepaid visa sounds like a good idea. I asked my credit card company about paying a hundred dollars so my balance would be enough to make the payment but they told me I can't do that, they've been real sticklers and have blocked every idea I've had. I'll...

Has anyone ever tried to pay Immigration by Western Union? I am really stuck as I have 1000.00 on my credit card and cannot get any more so I have to pay the last $100 by cash and the only way is to go thru Western Union. But the official receipt I requested from Immigration requires a "branch...

Just wondered...anyone know what the average time is between the interview for the sponsored person and the approval (outland)??

Hello all! I am newly married to a man from Morocco (he is still living there and is a citizen) and beginning the process of applying for family sponsorship to bring him to Canada. LOTS of questions and any advice is greatly appreciated. So, 1) he has heard that it would be easier for him to...
