MR was approximately 4 months after the file arrived in Bogota. My file was at the embassy for 6 months.

My process through Bogota was done in 7 months and 10 days, and I had to complete a relationship interview which delayed the process by 2 or 3 months. I saw a couple of applications through Bogota that took only 4 months to complete. The timeline I am talking about is from the date of AOR1 until...

Yes, I landed in Canada on March 10th this year. My situation wasn't very complicated, I believe we had a couple of red flags and then some questions the immigration officers had, like for example, why my English was so advanced despite never leaving the country.

In your case, an interview would be practically guaranteed. Spend more time physically together, gather more evidence and let more time pass. If you rush it, you can expect an interview and possibly a refusal if the interview doesn't go well. Like Canuck said, even genuine couples can have...

Sure, message me if you'd like.

Not exactly true. In my case, for example, the application was received in Mississauga within a month after I (Colombian) got married to my wife (Canadian) back in Colombia. People can send the application a week after getting married, that does not matter. What matters is the background, how...

Hi. Your coverage will start after two months + the remaining of the month counting from the day the person lands. So if you landed in April, your coverage would start in July. At ICBC they will take the photo and enter the information in the system, then they will give you a paper with your...

Hi everyone. I landed yesterday at 11 am pacific time. Going through immigration and all that stuff was really easy at YVR. There are lots of people there to help you out if you need it. The whole thing just took about 20 minutes, from leaving the plane to leaving the airport. Immigration was...

And... I am flying in 5 hours from now! Arriving in Vancouver tomorrow 11 am local time. :P

Hey guys, my passport came back with the visa and COPR today. I think I will be travelling today or tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!

Each VO does things differently. Does the email mention your husband's UCI and the application number? Perhaps you should show us exactly what the email says.

Hi, I'm glad to see you're feeling better now. Please do figure out the cat thingy. The COPR is the Confirmation of Permanent Residency, it is a paper sheet with information, that your husband will need to show the CBSA officer when he does the landing at the airport. The visa (counterfoil) on...

Correct, that is what it means.

Yeah I've had a really rough time for the past 7ish months. I haven't slept well during all this time, which makes things even worse. I've been abused in several ways by several family members for over a decade, and it got worse during this time too, so I'm really looking forward to leave and...

Awesome! So now you just have to figure out if bringing the cat will be okay. I'll probably have to pick up my luggage in Mexico, and I'm not looking forward for that. I've never been on a plane, so I don't want to be overwhelmed by doing a bunch of airport things.

Did you have to pick up the luggage? We found a website saying this: Airport transit privilege does not apply in the following cases and you will need to get a visitor visa if: You have to pick up your baggage and/or have to check-in again You are transiting through two or more airports in...

Awww I'm sorry. I didn't read it all the way so that was my bad, I apologize. I want it to be over too, I am really exhausted. The cat could be an issue if your husband needs to check it in again, because he would have to leave the international area, and probably picking the cat up would count...

This is very important though: KEEP IN MIND Airport transit privilege does not apply in the following cases and you will need to get a visitor visa if: You have to pick up your baggage and/or have to check-in again You are transiting through two or more airports in the Schengen Countries You...

Also this: Nationals of the above mentioned countries Do NOT require an airport transit visa if: have a valid visa for the UK, Ireland, Japan, Canada, USA, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Lichtenstein You should call an airline just to make sure, but it looks like you are okay!

The link has this interesting information: In these five airports in Germany you can stay at the International Transit Area without a visa: Cologne/Bonn Düsseldorf Frankfurt/Main Hamburg Munich Also it does mention that if you have a Canadian visa, you don't need the transit visa. I hadn't...
