    Inland Sponsorship DUI Trouble

    I have a simple advise, go back to USA. Then apply outland. You will end up with your wife being permanently inadmissable to Canada. Or you will spend thousands on lawyers and it will drag on for years. Entering illegally is a whole lot worse than a DUI. I know others in your situation who live...

    Is it really worth it?

    I moved to Canada for good after being a PR for 10 years. Took a decent pay cut. Still go to the US a few times a year to shop since the same things are a whole lot more expensive. I also moved when wife was pregnant and paid for the pregnancy and delivery out of pocket. I proudly identify...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    Hi all, I'll post a few things that might help you all out: 1. Regarding car, spend the $ to get a Canadian car otherwise you will get hassled by the border agents while entering Canada back saying you are a Canadian resident. Yes everyone knows that US has cheaper cars. As a "resident" you are...

    Can i sponsor my husband but I dont have a job!

    I just finished the inland sponsorship for my spouse (I'm a PR). I started the process without a job in hand and no Canadian income for last 1-2 years since I was out of Canada for that time. My GCMS notes clearly say no minimum income is needed for spouse. I can tell you no one will ask...

    Advise required

    Can you elaborate - "On arrival, I submitted a spousal application for her and it was denied because she was not examined by an immigration officer and so was not a family member"

    Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

    Thank you so much for clarifying this. I see on other threads there is a lot of knowledge about this. I am concluding that with CoPR land border crossing is not an issue at all in a private/rented vehicle as we will be travelling together. That said, as long as an airline lets you board, airport...

    Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

    Finally got email today that said "We are pleased to advise you that your final determination for permanent residence interview has been scheduled for". Thank you to everyone who has helped in the past. Now quick questions: Ecas and GC-Key don't show any update yet - not even SA. Am I right to...

    Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

    Thanks, this is what I thought, but just wanted to hear it reinforced back from someone. When I did request her notes last month to see what was going on, I did see an annotation of "Application identified for streamlined eligibility processing and is part of the 2016 inventory reduction...

    Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

    Hi folks, my wife is a September 2016 applicant, just got a request for medical last week and got it done this week. Police certs also requested 2 months ago and sent. SA/AIP/DM pending. Is it reasonable to assume she will be on track to get her PR in the next few months? We have been itching to...

    Private health insurance for first few months for a PR in Canada?

    Its up to you and what you expect your health expenses to be. Also note that you can use 1-2 months of travel insurance when you move for the first initial months. Its quite easy to goto a walk in clinic and pay $40 a visit if needed, or pay for labs or X-ray or basic stuff. This may also depend...

    Name on AOR

    Hi all, I applied for my wife's inland PR and received an AOR in her maiden name, even though the application was filed in her married name. She hasn't used her maiden name for years, although she does have a 10 year multi-entry Canada visitor visa in her maiden name that she uses to travel in...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I just mailed my spousal sponsorship papers for wife (inland) yesterday. Did not include the OWP papers since she is preg and we really weren't thinking about her working anytime soon. I am now thinking I should have done that, and probably still can send it on Monday, since it would help with...
