Okay VAC means something different to me since I am military (Veterans Affairs Canada) do you mean VFS Global where you apply for TRV etc in India?? The other option instead of travel document was to have a family member check my mail here in Canada, and then once the card comes, have them...

Not really getting great feeling on this. Hubby has been here since 13 Jan. No sign of his PR card yet and its now been more than a month. We have to leave on 2 March to go back to India. Is is safer to have someone here check the mailbox and when it comes, send it by courier to us in India or...

So is it difficult to obtain? Like could they refuse it for him since we left before he had the card? Will they grill us why we had to leave? According to the condition 51 we have to cohabitate for 2 years and since it's ME (the sponsor) who actually has to go back to India (for an Internship)...

Hmmm thats not good. Anyone know exactly how we obtain travel documents for him to get back into Canada if we leave prior to the card arriving??

Can anyone who has their PR card please chime in? Hoping to have it by 45 days as we have to go back to India (really don't want to have to deal with obtaining travel documents for my husband to come back without his PR card). Should we have it by then?

My husband was January 2016 aplicant (15 Jan) and just landed this past Friday. He got decision made on 21 Dec, and 22 Dec Passport Request. He submitted it in person 23 Dec and got it back on the 6th Jan. He flew on the 13th from Delhi.

My husband landed YESTERDAY! After one full year he is finally here in Canada :) Process was quick in Halifax (we are in Halifax) but for those who are going elsewhere it might be worth landing in Halifax and connecting to a domestic flight to elsewhere in Canada, as being small international...

So the marriage certificate wont be good enough if he was still in India for 2016? We were married Sept 2015. Can I claim anything at all? Like airfares to go see him since we had been kept apart? (Mind you I am claiming the airfare anyway under a different pretense as we did an IVF cycle in...

So I know that a spouse who is not working, and residing with me in Canada, I can claim their personal deduction come income tax time. For 2016 that's a nice big 11,500 (approx) credit!!! You don't actually need to prove you are supporting them either, as its assumed since you are living...

For all of you waiting at only about 7 months in, pease note that even though many had gotten it at 8-10 months, some people had waited for a full year, and that too without any red flags or anything. It took us only a few weeks shy of one full year. Hubby had no red flags at all, no missing...

Ok so this only comes into play in cases of divorce then? Obviously we will still be married... but there may be short trips apart. Side note: he arrives Friday! :) FINALLY! And I convinced him to come direct Delhi to Heathrow, then Heathrow direct to Halifax. That way he avoids Toronto to do...

I just have a quick question, is condition 51 if you have been 'married' for two years prior or in a 'relationship' two years prior? Hubby just got his passport back, along with the COPR and has condition 51 (conjugal relationship for two years after PR granted) but we HAVE been in a...

Ok I am a bit worried again... we dropped passport on the 23 Dec to VFS in Delhi. And still don't have it back! You got it back in 2 days only?

Passport was dropped in person to VFS in Delhi on 23 December. Nothing heard yet about it being dispatched back to VFS. Just wondering if anyone else submitted passport around that date and if they have received it back yet?

So we hand delivered passport to VFS Delhi on 23 Dec. Still waiting for the word that it's been dispatched. Hubby won't take my advice and book the flight anyway (I even found Air Canada flight using economy flex which allows FREE rescheduling) however if he waits any longer, he won't get a...

Are you sure about this?? I read on CIC website that time spent out of Canada WITH THE SPONSOR counts towards PR time. because you are still together. Quoted: Pursuant to A28(2), a permanent resident complies with the residency obligation provisions with respect to a five-year period if, for...

I did not send actual chats or actual emails (as in the content) what I did was screenshot my main email page on gmail, showing the email titles and dates. For call logs since I use a calling service (rebtel) I screenshot the list of calls over the last few months. I did not include chats at all...

So I have a dilemma. My husband dropped his passport today in person (well his cousin did) and they told him 10-15 working days before the passport is ready with the Visa. This makes it like the 18th of January and they told him don't book till 15 working days for flight. 18 January only gives...

I knew these dates as they take the same ones we get in the military. So they are done till the 28th now.

Just so everyone knows, most flights are completely booked in economy class right up to mid January now. There are business class seats left first week in January and the price on those are horrendous! I have a business class ticket (return) in March that was only 3200 CDN (I had a 30% voucher...
