    one-year pilot OWP for spouses and common-law partners

    I don't know if this question has been replied yet : Does anyone know about the difference between case types 20 and 27 that appear on Open Work Permits (OWP)? My wife got her OWP from the pilot project. Her case type # is 20, but we were expecting 27. I called CIC and they told me that 27 is...

    Income splitting for couples on Family Class Sponsorship

    2 questions... My wife arrived in Canada in August 2014 and applied inland for permanent residency in October. She didn't get any income in Canada in 2014 because she's not allowed to work yet. She got Aknowledgement of Receipt (AOR), but not Approval in Principle (AIP) yet. 1- Does she HAVE TO...

    one-year pilot OWP for spouses and common-law partners

    Question for all : My wife didn't submit her medical examination with her PR application, because we decided to wait until it is asked. If I understand well, an OWP can still be delivered without medical examination, but it will come with those restrictions : "Not authorized to work in 1) child...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I'll wait before I see it announced with more details before celebrating. "Pilot programs" are often very narrow and are designed for a limited amount of people.

    Questions about status and AOR

    Big thanks to all of you, Cathy, January and Canuck, this is all more clear now. Looks like my wife will ask for a 1,5 year extension of her visitor status, probably in February. This forum is really awesome. By the way, 28january, my wife crossed the land border back from a trip to New York...

    Questions about status and AOR

    You mean will are granted a kind of extension that doesn't require you to leave the country every 6 months? My wife already has a multiple entries visa that is valid until her passport expires in 2018. But next March, it will be 6 months since her last entry. So if we don't want to take the...

    Questions about status and AOR

    Thank you for your reply. Regarding point 3 : I've read in some places, but can't get confirmation, that it may be possible to ask for an OWP (in my case, one month later) and have it joined the PR application. I'd like to know if anyone ever did that. If impossible, then I suppose we will...

    Questions about status and AOR

    Hello everyone, I'm the sponsor of my wife who applied for her PR inland at the beginning of October. She's currently under her temporary visitor visa (a multiple entries visa valid for 10 years, as long as she leaves the country every 6 months, which she can't really do after applying for PR)...

    Any travel insurance that covers pre-existing minor infection?

    Thank you very much! That confirms what my searches have given me so far as results. But we will definitely buy an travel insurance anyway for emergencies. And let's hope that her sinusitis is over when she arrives in Canada!

    Any travel insurance that covers pre-existing minor infection?

    My Thai wife is set to arrive to Canada (Quebec) in 2 weeks. In the past month, she has dealt with a mild sinusitis and has been taking precription drugs to fight it. I'm now starting to worry that it might not be completely cured after she arrives to Canada. Since she will apply for PR inland...

    Proof of relationship question

    Are you sure about the bolden part? In another thread, I asked a similar question : Is there anything as "too many documents". My wife and me have over 200 pages of Skype chat, over 20 pages of Facebook chat, many emails, common plane tickets, many hotel vouchers. I even have emails and facebook...

    Getting the PCC in Thailand

    My wife went to the Royal Thai Police today. I can confirm that they don't need any proof of application in process or "request for more information" by Immigration Canada or by the canadian embassy. I worried for no reason. But also, for a few extra bucks, they offered to have it ready for us...

    Getting the PCC in Thailand

    I finally called to the embassy and they told me they would not produce that kind of document for me. They also where convinced that it was not necessary to have this to get a PCC, despite what the police website says. So we will probably take our chance and go at the thai police without it this...

    Getting the PCC in Thailand

    Thank you both for your reply. The Police Clearance service center here in Bangkok clearly states, among the required documents, that they want a "request for record check". I assumed it's the document that the immigration would send me once they find out that the PCC is missing. But I think...

    Getting the PCC in Thailand

    Here's a few questions for those who had to get a Police clearance certificate in Thailand : 1- Can we ask for the PCC before submitting the PR application? The Thai police website says that they need a proof that the immigration process is underway to give my wife her PCC. Is that correct? 2-...

    Spousal sponsorship

    And while I'm at it, I have a few more questions, since we're in the process of gathering all the documents together for the sponsorship and permanent residency application. Is there anything such as "too many documents"? I mean : me and my wife have overwhelming proofs of the genuineness of...

    I have a question about getting the police clearance certificate (PCC) from Bangkok in Thailand. Next month, my thai wife and me are gonna go back to Canada and the plan is to apply from inland during our first month there.

    Banking / marketing industry : any market for jobs?

    This is obviously a life changing decision and I'm not taking this lightly at all, and she doesn't either. None of us is doing this move for "professional" reasons, and she understands that too. We do this because we want to live together, and after evaluating the pros and cons of every option...
