The experience described above speaks to randomness of the process, not to its stated procedures and protocols. As always, buyer beware :)

Include proof of your income and current bank statement. When I acquired a visitor visa for my mother in law I didn't even bother to submit her bank statement since she has no money. I did, however, submit the deed to her apartment along with proof of her miserable monthly retirement check. Was...

No, stamps in a passport are not always sufficient. Both me (the sponsor) and my wife had to provide official government immigration documents that attested to our entries and exists from the country where we had been living before she was approved for PR.

Many thanks! Sometimes it is difficult to read the bureaucratic language ... my wife is in Level 4 LINC so she should finish before she applies.

Thank you. Is there a link that shows this?

Thank you. The question is on behalf of my wife. She does not have the necessary proofs and will need to study for the English test, which is why I am wondering about the time between submitting the application and being asked to take the test.

Does anyone know how much time it takes after submitting the citizenship application to being asked to take the language test?

Interesting. Most of the documents you list were not mentioned in the new portal. Cuba is also a country where everyone wants to immigrate. Yet a current bank statement from my wife and the necessary IDs were sufficient. For example, no one in Cuba has money so we didn't even bother to show my...

Are visitors from India subject to different requirements than those from other countries? When we got a TRV for my Cuban mother in law we did almost none of the suggestions given above. We wrote an invitation, showed one recent bank statement, and indicated she wished to stay for a month. No...

Here is what I personally showed to IRCC after sponsoring my wife while living outside Canada for 30 years: 1) my Canadian bank account with substantial funds 2) printed internet searches of every-thing from housing to medical clinics to bank branches where we planned to live 3) a Canadian...

It's not quite so simple. According to CBC: "The new system will sift through the person's application and determine how likely it is that they will be granted permanent residency. Those with a high likelihood will be put in a category that fast-tracks their temporary visa."

If they didn't stamp his passport I would presume there is no visitor record so he can stay 6 months again. But I'd get more official advice if I were you, just in case.

And first you have to export your car from the USA.

I would not think that nationals of the countries where visa offices are located would be part of the strike. And foreign nationals do the bulk of the work at the visa offices. Nor would be the Canadians who work overseas. Nonetheless I would be very careful in making assumptions about how...

According to CBC: "Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada warns that people can expect delays with applications and appointments."

I'm not sure about your exact situation but when I moved to Canada I arrived from the USA in a U-Haul truck with my possessions, a month after arriving myself by air from the Caribbean. When I originally arrived I said nothing about possessions and it didn't matter when I finally brought them...

To foodie69 Sorry, you are mistaken. I never said the process was easy and I do not have collector car insurance. My rates are relatively inexpensive due to my age, driving record, and to the limited mileage I put in the vehicle. Most people would not qualify but it's useful to point out that...

There is a lot more to getting collector plates than this...

Have the child in the country where the child will live.
