    May 2022 - Citizenship Applications

    Just my luck that my ceremony would be scheduled on the day that the labour strike starts... It was supposed to be at 7:45am, and I received an email now cancelling it. FYI if you have a ceremony scheduled in the next few days.

    My email came in 6 days before the ceremony, so you're still good.

    The AOR said Sydney, so I'm assuming it's still the same office.

    Great, thank you for the reply! I have a paper w/ some information, so I should be able to follow up with RCMP if nothing changes by beginning of the year.

    May 2022 - Citizenship Applications

    I was also wondering why do they request FP. My full name is definitely very unique, and they had already asked for FP 2.5 yrs ago for my pr. Anyway... On the topic of FP, I went to an accredited digital fingerprinting agency 2 weeks ago, and nothing has changed so far. Is that normal? I'm just...

    Study Visa Denied - No evidence of lawful admission

    Also, wasn't the VAC job to let me know if something was missing? (i.e. the stamp) Why are they charging so much to do nothing?

    Study Visa Denied - No evidence of lawful admission

    Yes, I know that. Sorry, I meant... will it look bad? I don't want to do anything wrong.

    Study Visa Denied - No evidence of lawful admission

    My partner and I are discussing getting married because we don't want to be apart (ofc, school would be a no in this situation). But we don't want it to look bad on our application, this "last minute decision" (it's not that last minute, we've been discussing it for months -- but it would seem...

    Study Visa Denied - No evidence of lawful admission

    I see... It's very risky then. I called the Border and an agent told me there's no guarantee they'd even let me in. I do have a multiple entry visa tho. Like scylla said, I cannot apply within Canada. In my case, it must be Brazil or by mail in LA (which got refused because I can't prove I...

    Study Visa Denied - No evidence of lawful admission

    I called CIC again. The agent said my only option was to apply again. I could either wait for the Verification of Status (it takes 6 months, so no) or cross the border to the US and come back, asking for a stamp this time. Nothing guarantees I will be accepted into the country then so it might...

    Study Visa Denied - No evidence of lawful admission

    (Sorry I'm posting this twice -- I posted on the wrong board) My study visa just got rejected and I was hoping for a suggestion on how to act next. Here's my situation: I came to Canada in February from Brazil on a visitor visa to visit my partner. In May, I decided I'd apply for a postgrad...

    My study visa just got rejected and I was hoping for a suggestion on how to act next. Here's my situation: I came to Canada in February on a visitor visa to visit my partner. In May, I decided I'd apply for a postgrad course. I applied, got accepted and received a partial scholarship. I...

    Change Visitor Visa to Study Visa without leaving Canada

    I bet this question has been asked a lot, but I have one problem. I came to Canada to visit my partner and we decided to try common law in a year. However, a year is a lot of time to go without doing anything. I'm thinking of applying for a 8-month course. If I get in, will I have to leave the...

    Weak Common Law Proof?

    Thank you for the helpful tips! Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking clearly from the beginning (mid February). The fact that I said on my visa application that I would be staying at this address (as well as in the paper you turn in at the airport) doesn't count for anything, correct? I got a phone...

    Weak Common Law Proof?

    Thanks for the comment. I am aware of that, yes. So far we've only lived together for three months, but I'm planning to stay in Canada, on a visitor visa, for a year to qualify for common law. The two problems are, they might reject my visa extension application, and we do not have enough proof...

    Weak Common Law Proof?

    My partner is Canadian and I'm visiting her on a tourist visa. We've been together for 2,5 years, most of it on a long distance relationship. Originally, I came this time to stay six months, but we've decided to try Common Law. However, we don't have a lot of their requests, such as joint rental...
