    Proof of re-establishment in Canada

    We sent in only 12 photos. A few from the wedding, and some random things here and there. Pic of us with her family. Keep it simple. It works. My wife's PR card arrived in four months from when I mailed the pack to Mississaga.

    While visiting Canada, received a hugh hospital bill. What to do now...

    Wait there is a remedy! First write letters to the lawyers to remind them you do not have a contract with them and they are only third party interlopers and not to bother you again or you will charge them $2000 an hour to talk with them. Get the letter notarized and send it registered with the...

    General advice wanted please

    Uggh... I wish I caught this earlier I would have said DO NOT send by courier! They list what they carry and as you now know they told Canada Customs so they stole it. They do this to discourage illegals... Best is to send regular mail, anyway too late for that now. If you have not yet decided...

    Sao Paulo - Brazil sponsorship

    I imagine that the Quebec process takes more time, as there are more documents involved. (What's all that about?) Our process took 4 months from the day I mailed my sponsorship and everything else to Mississauga. I'm from BC. My wife from Brasil has no children so I suspect this helped move...

    It took just a bit over one month then I received an email from Mississauga saying my sponsorship was granted and the application was sent to Sao Paulo. This email also gave me the client # required to access the Ecas. Good luck!

    Question regarding "Request for Passport"

    My wife was processed in Sao Paulo. After she received notice for the passport things did move along very fast. Our process, including my sponsorship deal, only took 4 months from the day I mailed to Mississauga. So perhaps your process is moving along now and soon you will be together! Good luck

    proving relationship is a genuine presentation

    My computer crashed big time and I lost a year and one half of emails... so I had none to show. I explained this and it must have worked because my wife was granted the visa (Sao Paulo) in record time. 4 months start to finish.
