Hi everyone, I recently sponsored my husband who received his PR in July. We also had our first newborn baby in July. It turns out that she requires a lip and tongue tie release as she is unable to breastfeed efficiently, causing me lots of pain. This is considered an oral surgery under dental...

Hello, Our inland spousal sponsorship application has been approved and we have our landing interview on July 18th. We had paid for the biometrics fee upfront because the CIC website had said that it would be mandatory due to where my husband is from. However, they never ended up asking us to...

We have our landing interview on July 18, and would like to visit our family in Germany for 2-3 weeks before September. Do you think it's likely that the PR card will come soon enough? We live in Etobicoke. What have your experiences been like? Also, do they take your passport at the landing...

Hello all, I am currently sponsoring my husband's PR. He is on an open work permit right now. We anticipate that he will get his PR latest by August, but of course we can never be sure. He wants to start school starting next fall, and the deadline to the program he is interested in is June...

Hello, I'm sponsoring my husband and I'm a Canadian citizen. We sent our app on Dec 21, 2018. We really want to visit the US for the weekend at the end of March. My husband has an OWP, and the application is in process. He passed the medical exam but the background check or anything hasn't...

I realized I made a mistake in my form! I wrote that I'm a citizen by descent. The reason I made this mistake is because I got my citizenship as a minor from my parents and I was born outside Canada. But I wasn't born to Canadian citizen parents. They became citizens after I was born. Should I...

My husband already has an OWP which he got after graduating from university here. It's valid for almost two more years anyway. Would this in anyway mean that my file would move somewhat faster since there's less processing of files? We're December applicants, and have completed our medical...
