    College conditional acceptance w/ English course - eligible for study permit?

    Hi, Seneca college accepted an international student into a diploma program. Because the English test score was not great they required to take some English courses starting Sept 2018 till December. The student did not apply for a study permit as these courses are not part of the main program...

    Which documents did they request for PPR? We were just requested a scan of the passport's first page and address confirmation. We just scanned the passport and emailed it as attachment along with a PDF of a prepaid shipping label.

    Common law PR checklist?

    My partner was on study permits but in the end the school did not work out. We estimated that visitor's visa will probably be refused, and that could turn into a departure order, which cannot be ignored. It wasn't easy to decide to be either separated for a long time or an overstay but we had...

    There are really only two options here: you got either an incompetent agent who doesn't know the immigration process or lazy one who doesn't want to work on your requests. Either option is not looking good and I would not trust such a consultant. Ordering notes does not and cannot affect...

    Validity of marriage questioned?

    I know a couple that got their marriage registered in a city hall, with literally just 2 friends attending as witnesses. Sponsorship was not an issue for this couple.. Not everyone is a fan of big expenses and parties, and some don't want anything to do with priests of any religion and most CIC...

    Common law PR checklist?

    We started the process right after 1 year of common law - sent the application just before the beginning of 13th month of cohabitation. It was fine and was approved without issues. Other than lease - try to get BOTH of your names on as many documents as possible - Utilities in both names -...

    We're talking about the Mexican police certificate, right? Has it been requested? If it was requested, you should have specific instructions on how to get it included within the request letter. The instructions can be different, based on whether the application was inland or outland, and whether...

    Please Help for my 4months old child!

    Sorry to hear that you're suffering for this bureaucratic idiocy that we have in regulations. However, in the four months that passed since birth, and your wife's visa expiring soon, how were you planning to bring your son without a visa? Have you/your wife done anything in relation to visas...

    I believe there are two options in the request form, towards the end - one requests the application and the other GCMS notes.

    filling in form IM5532

    It's a valid question to ask if you made your relationship public or presented it to society in some way - for CIC this can serve as further proof of the realness of the relationship. Some couples will have some kind engagement event without any set date for getting married for example. For...

    Your lawyer does not sound like they know what they're talking about or just want to avoid extra work. In our application we had more red flags than probably more than 95% of the applications here - applying through outland process while out of status in Canada and without even being married -...

    Is that 'someone' really knowledgeable about the process? If it's not documented in official CIC documents don't do it. There is a lot of misconceptions floating around, just follow the official process.

    Looks normal. If you order the notes you will probably see next review date set to October, but chances are it will be reviewed before.

    If anything it's probably the longer the gap the more questionable the relationship. If you truly want to be together wouldn't you want that to happen as soon as possible, rather than wait some months after marriage to see if you really want to live together and apply only then.

    Spousal Visa Interview not went well

    I think personal questions should be asked, I agree. In this context it should not be interpreted as rude.

    Spousal Visa Interview not went well

    For sure they need to weed out the real from the fake, but I don't see how being rude helps with that. They need to ask direct questions, and probe from every side - yes, for sure. But getting rude and getting upset at applicants doesn't achieve anything and is just unprofessional.
