Is EI considered government assistance?

I have been awol since October (lay offs at work) but wanted to check in on Taffy & Andrew Britt, Congrats you two! Brilliant news.

When my SO was waiting for a work visa (years ago) after a successful LMO, the person working on his file went on vacation in the middle of July/August for a MONTH, his file was not transferred to someone else during that time. We were anxious as his current visa (then) expired October 2...

well chuffed. His last work visa (prior to this) came through with England on it as well. ::)

Its worth noting that my spouse, who was born in Wales and is Welsh was listed as English under the CIC website and the only way I was able to log in for him was to put "England" as his country of birth every time I logged in. Despite his birth certificate, passport etc all saying Wales.

In our case (transferred to Mississauga, not London) photos were requested the day the file went to DM. They only requested two additional photos. I believe the photos were requested because my spouse was bearded when his original photos were sent, and beardless when his medical was completed...

I had no "proof" of first contact with my spouse either. We met by chance, and explained this. He moved to a different city two days later, which I thought might cause some eyebrows to be raised, but it didn't.

:( thats disappointing, but also good I suppose? I can't imagine waiting as long as you have with no answers. It just doesn't make any sense.

It really does depend. I have two photos of my spouse by himself. One at the continental divide in Arizona, and another showing him and my mother together at Christmas time. The first showed our trip to the US, and the second showed him meeting/spending time with my family

I would then apply outland (sooner than later) as you will likely have a decision made before August of next year from what I've seen on the Sydney office. (I see they are showing 11 months on CIC so its entirely possible) You can have an outland application in process while working in Canada...

calling once a week will not expedite the process. While you may not agree, I would hang tight. Check your junk mail folders and be patient. It took just about a month and a half to receive SA after AOR.

If you are worried about your interview being delayed pay the fee. If you cannot afford the fee, borrow the money from friends/family to get it paid. It sounds like it would be a short term loan anyhow. Only CIC can tell you if your interview will be delayed for not paying RPRF upfront. Even...

Is there any reason the immigration consultant would need a copy of the PR card front and back? They have requested a copy from my spouse, and I find it a little odd.. Claim they need it to complete the file.

landed the end of may, received PR about two weeks ago. I believe it was 98 days total.

As the spouse of a PR with Condition 51 its a total non issue. We joke about it, but really it hasn't changed a single thing. We applied when we were ready to be committed as a married couple, despite being together three years prior to applying. Having an arbitrary period where we must prove...

I applauded Edin2Vans sentiment. That he/she would not object to refugees taking priority over his/her case. You will see I was not the only one to do so. It is not public revenge. It is refusing to engage privately with someone who feels the need to make personal attacks. I see you too are...

News! :D I checked yesterday and they were 28 :) I keep checking back to see if you've had any movement Taffy. ETA: they are still showing 28 months here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp

I recieved this lovely little gem in my PM inbox. Rather than engage privately. Yes Mike2015, we were fortunate that our application went to Mississauga instead of London. We were fortunate that it processed quickly, that does not however negate my rights to have a humanitarian stance on the...

You asked about how a very hot button political topic may affect your personal circumstances. Unfortunately it will be and is a political topic. No one can say for sure how the refugee crisis will affect your application.
