    Did the national police check work with CIC? Also, why did you need a hand signature on the Schedule A? I thought that if you submit it through your online account, no signature (hand-written) is needed.

    Hey guys, I got my AOR #1, and need to submit my Schedule A + Police Check. I have them both in PDFs. Unfortunately I submitted the Schedule A on it's own, and now have no option to upload the Police Check. Then I researched this, and realized you're supposed to combine both docs into one PDF...

    Hi guys I have a quick question. When exactly can you link your application to an online account? Is it after you've received an e-mail from CIC that they have received your application and includes an application number included OR can I link it right after I've filed it? Because I sent it...

    It's a sticky situation, but I guess this is what I would...a few options. Please know that I am in no way a lawyer or have experience in this, however, I have worked with women in domestic violence situations so I know a few things for immigration, but minimal. And the best thing to do is to...

    I'm sorry to hear that as well. Not sure how it is with this new law in place, and if he has already been in Canada for a few years I'm not sure if this applies....however....i know that if you prove domestic violence then you are likely to get him sent back. This is an unfortunate case and I...

    Hey Minosis, thanks! I'm wondering though...how did he get it in 15 days? Doesn't it need to be legalized? Or you just obtain it, and translate it. I thought it needs to be (1) obtained (2) legalized for foreign affairs (3) then translated (4) then submitted. and this process i believe takes...

    Hi friends! So I've been reading up on everyone's issues here with medical + police records. Since this is part of their "new" application process (to not hand in these docs with your application, but afterwards), it seems that it's not ideal at all...urg. I will send our sponsorship...

    You can actually change it even before your sponsorship gets approved. You just go to ServiceOntario (depending on your province) with the translation of the marriage certificate and it can be changed. While I was reading the application again, where it asks me for my name it says "same name as...

    Havana, Cuba

    Hi all, I recently got married to a Cuban in July. I am unable to send our sponsorship application until December 2017. I was hoping to invite him (as my spouse) to visit Canada for a month BEFORE I even send my sponsorship application (i.e. before I'm accepted as a sponsor, and such). Is this...

Would you guys recommend maybe that I do it through a lawyer rather than on my own...

    Hi guys, I need to change my status from 'common law' to 'single' since I am no longer living with my common-law partner. I am aware that I need to contact CRA to make this change, however, do I need to in some way inform immigration that me and my ex-common law partner (who I sponsored through...

    Thanks Rob_TO, however, why is it that CIC mentioned in brackets the 5-year rule....which it seems to concern me (not the ex common law).
