    CoPR received but name is wrong

    Somehow, I don't think it being their mistake will make it any better. :) I'm not that far from Niagara, so it might not be a bad idea to do that. I've tried calling the CIC hotline, and the customer service representative answered my question with "I don't know." So that isn't encouraging...

    CoPR received but name is wrong

    Ugh, that will be a mess. I'm American, but I'm currently visiting Canada. The CoPR is currently IN Philadelphia with my parents. I don't think I was actually issued a Visa due to being American? ETA: Emailing them was already done again this morning. I asked them what should be done and...

    CoPR received but name is wrong

    Despite having emailed them the appropriate information regarding my name change months ago and having included copies of my new IDs and passport as well as a scan of the marriage certificate (I knew they had a real copy, but I didn't want to leave anything to chance), my CoPR is showing my...

    June 2015 - Outland applications

    Congrats to everyone who got moved along recently! I, myself, officially sent in the application on June 24th, so I think we'll still have a few more weeks before they acknowledge it's existence.

    Did anyone change to their married name After Landing??

    This was actually one of the questions I asked the immigration lawyer when we spoke to him. Although it was more in the context of "should I wait until I'm there to change my name, because I don't want to delay the paperwork?" He told me that it was actually it was a sticky thing and would take...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Baba88, Arranged marriage is legal, but it's not common in Western countries like Canada and the United States. When you add in factors like not meeting your wife before the marriage, the only thing you even knew about her was that she was pretty, and that you received large valuable gifts at...

    US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

    Thanks everyone. I think I'm just freaking out over everything, and that unfortunately probably won't change for months yet.

    US Police Clearance: FBI Processing Times

    I only just saw a few days ago that the CIC doesn't except 3rd party channeled reports, and I'm panicking now. When I was making notes on all of the needed things, I swear it didn't say that, but this was eons ago. We've got my Outland packet together and were planning on sending it out...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I guess the real question then is how much faith I have in the strength of my Outland packet, which we already have prepared. I'm worried it's hampered by us being so tech savvy. We use computer programs to talk rather than phones most of the time. We have records of nearly 20 visits over the...

    Spousal sponsorship

    If I enter on tourist status and apply via the inland process, what happens when that time period expires without the PR application being approved? Can I still file for a visa extension even though I'm visa-exempt? Or would hopefully being approved for the open permit provide some coverage...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Hi everyone. Completely new here and completely lost as to how to go about this immigration thing. My husband and I are intending to file an application for me to join him in Canada. I am an American, and we have been in a long distance relationship for over 3.5 years, but only married...
