Answer: 1) It is necessary. It shows that whomever is in Canada is serious about the relationship. We provided about 3 years of support for our relationship. That included, spousal support ($$$ I sent), telephone bills, flights (of me going to visit etc for the last 3 years), all emails for...

She's loving it and its only been day 2. Been so busy going everywhere. I was going to stay the full two weeks but she just wanted to get out and go. By leaving early, it saved us about $1,000 in additional expenses. So were having a cold vacation in Vancouver :P We slept for several hours...

LANDING UPDATE. So I departed Canada on March 10th at 1050pm. Landed in Toronto at 6AM. Departed Toronto to Jamaica at 10AM. Landed in Jamaica at 125PM. Spent about 5hrs with the family at the airport, took some pictures, left several gifts behind and then we both departed Jamaica at 715PM for...

Nothing you can do about it. Just get the police check re-done and re-send it. We had to do ours and one day expedite cost 10k JMD. After we sent ours in again, it took them just 3 weeks to issue a PPR. However, when they did ask for a police record check again, they also asked for the passport...

Congrats chickie72! :)

One thing to note. If you haven't lived with your spouse for more than 2 years in the same home whether that be in Canada or abroad, there appears to be new rules now. One of the requirements to complete permanent residency is now that your spouse lives with you in the same residence for a...

We have received the passport along with all papers stating permanent resident status. I have made the flight changes which amounted to extra cost of $1260. That includes my fee for changing my flight I bought back in Jan 2014 and her one way ticket to Canada. I have also purchased travel...

No you don't have to use a local MP. You can go request others for assistance, including the opposition.

Tx and Thank you to everyone that said their congrats. I may not sound excited but I am. But at the same time, I feel bad for those still waiting that were still waiting when I joined this forum. I hope that your wait ends soon and whatever the hold up is, it gets resolved soon so that you can...

chickie72, Can you update your spreadsheet? Decision Made on 3/1/2014. The VISA was issued the same day and passport handed to courier on 3/1/2014. Courier shipped it out on 3/3/2014 and we are expecting to get it tomorrow on the 4th. Also for the travel, I forgot, I still have to include...

West Jet has a $85 fee for changing flights for existing reservations + ( new ticket price $625 for one way return - minus my credit of $275) + cost of wife's flight $825. All prices include all taxes already and fees. On the day that I am looking, that is the price. There are cheaper options am...

How are they mis-leading? Have you noticed my provincial flag next to my name? :)

Good luck with that. I am in Vancouver, not Toronto.

Well it is peak summer month. They did tell me that when I bought my ticket back in Jan 2014, that was a good time to buy for march. Half way through Jan 2014, the ticket prices went up for march travel as the demand went up. There is currently 3 seats left in March for a return flight. So am...

West Jet. Apparently one way flights back are over $800 one way in the month of march as the prices have gone up. And for me to change my return flight, I get some credit which roughly requires me to add another $425 to the cost of my return flight for March.

Already have a ticket for me as I bought it in Jan 2014. At the time, the status was still unknown. The thing that really bites is to change my return flight. She wants to just leave Jamaica and come with me, so to leave early and get on the same flight, is costing me $1300 UGH. Oh well. Such is...

Yeah, I started preparing the application 8 months prior to the wedding. So that by the time we got married, a month later, the papers were sent off and filed.

LOL quite honestly. I am glad this is finally done. I warned her about this since I have been through it before deciding on going this route. I told her, it won't be easy. At first she said she could handle it. Well, that was breaking apart as the days turned into weeks then months. Its been...

1000 pages? That is way too much, that is a book! You don't want to send that with your application. Typically, your application should be no thicker than about 1.5"-2" max to fit into a large courier envelope. I submitted maybe a total of 50 pages which included yahoo chats (which were very...

Just got word. We are approved for the residency. Passport is on the way via DHL.
