@ can_usa_97: Congrats! I think you'll be happy with your decision. At least this keeps your options open! @love_young: Congrats! Long wait is almost over! Good luck!!! We landed about 7 weeks ago and i love being back in Canada. Took us almost 3 hours to "land" at a very busy Vancouver...

Perfect: Keeping my fingers crossed that you will have news soon. At least you know what the delay is. My partner and I also found it to be a difficult time... and getting the PR hasn't made things easier as there's still the stress of moving, packing, finances, etc, etc But I do believe...

Hey Malawi We did have an extra doc request because we hadn't submitted our police clearances with the application. Definitely will save you time if you don't have that extra wait but as you said, it was pretty quick anyway. I'd just say go through everything five extra times - the forms, the...

Congrats J! Keep us posted Perfect! Hope you get answers regarding your medical soon. I am now in SA and sorting out customs forms etc before the final move back next month! Can't wait to finally get there and settle in :)

Hello all I, a returning resident, and my partner, a new resident, are working on our B4 list for customs when we arrive in Canada and I have some questions... 1. Do we need to submit separate forms in each of our names or, as we are common-law, can we just consider it all "ours" and submit it...

We'll still be here waiting to hear your good news Love_Young!

Just document everything. It sounds like immigration can be quite reasonable about these things. If it's an issue contact immigration with proof that you only had x number of days from when you received it and see what can be done. On the other hand, I would be prepared to make a plan for a...

right... thanks for the correction. all the packing has melted my brain :)

Way too early to be worried. It definitely takes more than 28 days. They update it regardless to say a decision has been made and then you get a approval or rejection letter. So no update means nothing.

Sorry about your crummy lawyer. Does seem to happen quite often. I think the problem is that people hand over the whole process to the lawyer and trust that it will all get done perfectly for them. The only person to suffer when it's not done correctly is you. So if you're going to use a...

1: The medical report is valid for one year. You must submit it with your application. If it expires, a new one will be requested when your application process is concluding. 2: The application is submitted to mississauga then forwarded to a local office (for inland application I assume). Each...

No way to know for sure. It's not rare to be given very little time to land. It'll depend on the individual... Just have to wait and see.

Not a legal expert but I'm pretty sure it is the individual (or individuals) who mis-informed you and acted outside of standard operating practices that are at fault. I know it won't help you but I would definitely follow up with the visa offices involved to ensure that disciplanary action is...

Americans do not need visas to enter Canada. However, he have to demonstrate at the border that he intends to return to America with in the timeline of his visit allowance (generally 6 months I believe). He certainly cannot move to Canada with his things and stay there without applying for a visa.

You follow the guide for the office that you are submitting your application with. It doesn't matter where you are living. If you do not want to send original certificates, send in notarized copies. I wouldn't think it's likely she'd need to submit an original ever... the only original...

Passport is listed as one of the required documents for the process. It clearly says to make sure your passport will be valid. I would think the embassy might be able to issue you some kind of temporary travel document that might suffice. Otherwise possibly they can issue one at another...

If there's any turbulence on the flight I will probably beg (bribe, threaten...) one of the flight attendants to check on her... I've heard that's possbile?? So stressed for my poor puppy... the thought of her lying down there whimpering for hours on end makes me want to cry already and the...

Again - sorry this is happening to you. It sucks and I'm definitely curious as to why there's been this delay. I know of four applicaitons, including my own, that has been processed in Pretoria in 6 months or less recently. None have been called for interviews. The background checks have taken...

Hi Steaky It's so expensive! I won't be using any kind of sedative because we have a 10 hour flight to london, 20 hours in london and then a 10 hour flight to vancouver. There's no way a sedative is going to help beyond the first flight. I'm sure she'll be miserable and stressed but she's...

It sounds like the biggest reason for rejection is if they don't believe the relationship is genuine. Anything else you would be rejected for would be obvious (criminal history, major health concern etc) You don't need a notice of tax assessment, you just need the Option C print out. You should...
