I understand that in theory it shouldn't affect couples who are legitimately, happily married (or common-law or whatever). But in some cases it does. My husband and I are currently outside of Canada, because we won't be ready to move for awhile. Now we've got to somehow prove that we are...

Thanks for the response. Waiting a couple months to re-enter Canada is fine by us. Mainly my concern was does the card need to be signed for when it arrives? And if so, would somebody else (my brother or a parent) signing for it be a problem? PS - how can I "+1" someone?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but... is there a problem with landing, applying, having the card mailed to your Canadian address, then leaving to go take care of something and getting it mailed to you abroad by family at the house? ??? As I understood, you don't need the PR Card to leave...

As mentioned above, they're definitely granting you a visa if they've already stated its validity! Don't worry! We kept asking our VO what was causing the delay - why they would tell us 5 business days if it could be 2 months. They said they were waiting for the confirmation from the Canadian...

Hey, have you got it back yet! DON'T WORRY. We got the email telling us to send the passport for them to put the visa in, and that we had to arrive before September. The email said we could pick the passport with the visa back up in 5 business days. So we sent it in by courier then booked train...

Hi all! I haven't signed in in quite awhile, I thought it was better to stop dwelling on our application given that the timeline given on the CIC website for Kiev was 15 months. Anyhow, our ECAS changed to "In Process" February 25th - so only about a month after SA. Nothing happened for awhile...

Your pay stubs and bank balance, while helpful to convince CIC that you will be able to support your wife, do not make the Option C any less necessary. It is needed to prove that you haven't claimed any welfare or government financial assistance, not that you have money. I would suggest you wait...

I can only speak from my own experience, but for what it's worth, I was in the same situation (working for three years outside of Canada where I was living with my partner), and hadn't filed taxes since I'd left, since I would have been a non-resident. The way I understand it, they want the...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has an application pending in Kiev right now, or maybe someone recently went through the process and could answer some questions. I searched the forum for a thread like this, but the only one I found was from quite a while ago, and it seems the process has...

I wondered the same thing. It wasn't listed as one of the possible reasons for sponsorship ineligibility on any of the official websites, so I went ahead and applied, and just got my sponsorship approval a couple days ago, despite having defaulted on my student loan (which I am now trying to...

Just got SA by email! 89 days after receipt of the file (Oct 23rd) 10 days (!) after AOR. At least it got done in the end ::) I was starting to get worried!

I also just got my AOR by email yesterday, on day 79! I was surprised to get it on a Saturday afternoon - are they working weekends?

Good morning! I'm sorry to hear they weren't helpful. I also got up early to call this morning right at 8:00, and the guy I was speaking with was really helpful/friendly. He also said they were working on Oct 16th still, but was able to confirm that our application had been received and give us...

Hi! I've been following the thread and the rest of the forum for awhile now, and added myself to the spreadsheet a couple months ago, but never actually posted. Waiting for SA to sponsor my common-law husband in Kiev. When I moved here I thought Ukrainian immigration bureaucracy was horrible...
