I am sorry to hear that your lawyer has been less than diligent with your file. I can understand why you would be upset that they were not forth coming with information about your file being returned. They really should have told you file was returning but obviously were trying to cover up...

Unfortunately, your MP's office can't and won't help you until your file has been in process longer than the maximum posted timelines. When I contacted my MP's office I was not able to speak with the MP directly or have a meeting with him. I always dealt with his immigration case coordinator...

Try a second hand store like Value Village or Talize. You can get name brand (Tommy, Gap, American Eagle, Columbia), lightly used clothings, jackets and boots for men, women and children for excellent prices. A friend of mine came from Cuba and he got a Columbia winter jacket for $19.99 and a...

It worked for us and the MP was able to call the Ottawa immigration office and get information from the electronic file and he also followed up directly with the Embassy (email and calling to talk with someone). The Embassy is supposed to respond to inquiries from the MP's office in a shorter...

If you are concerned you should get your local member of parliament involved. They can call the immigration office in Ottawa to get information on your file and can also directly contact the Embassy. The Embassy always replied to the member of parliament's emails faster than the ones from my...

My husband's PR was done through Guatemala and they requested his passport and returned it to him a 3.5 weeks. However, our file did take over 3 years to be processed (never asked for additional documents or interview). It is a very slow Embassy and the VO's are over worked with files from...

My husband's medicals expired in September 2007 and he was given instructions in late January/beginning of February 2010 to have them completed again. He went right away and within a couple weeks the Embassy requested his passport and within days of dropping it off they called to say it was...

When my husband's medical expired our immigration consultant followed with the Embassy and asked they issue the appropriate paperwork so he could get his medicals done again to avoid further delays. The Immigration Officer responded by saying that they will tell us when he is to go and re-do...

Depending on where you are moving to in Canada will depend on the how cold the winter will be. Vancouver for instance has a rainy and warmer winter than say Winnipeg where it can be very cold with the wind chill. Regardless of where you are going to live if you dress for the weather conditions...

When my husband's medicals were expiring, the Embassy told us to wait for them to provide us with instructions to get the medicals done again and at that time they would provide the documentation that would be required by the doctor. My husband's medicals expired and they only requested that...
