we did not go to kijji we went to Portuguese consulate that deals with this lady and Portuguese Canadian lawyer so we paid for everything for translation close to 700 when we got married plus 225 to married at city Hall 135 for the registar office 35 for Mariage licenses

When I submitted my application, I didn't sent my school graduation papers. I was thinking to do it just in case, but it wasn't required in any IMM forms, so I was thinking they don't need those. In IMM history form I have listed my school years etc. Can this be a problem or do they request them later? I have bachelor degree if that matter..

Was inland 2016 forms anything about principal applicant travel history? Or is only for outland applicants?
It may slow their BG check down. They will find your schooling. You don't need education to immigrate, but they will want to know where you were and what you were doing during that time...

Yes there is a form that asks about education, personal history including travel history...

Not sure actually, when was that?

They had an iOS Ransomeware at some point I thought?

For us, the wife and I have mostly all Lin devices. Droid phones, Debian on our laptops, droid STBs, and she uses VBox for a win 7 virtual that's strictly used for work related stuff. And the image is backed up. At the edge, OBSD. Moral of the story: don't use SMB v 1.0.

The worm is spreading fast... So I hope people heed my warning...

Oh really. Im sure there wasn't anything about travel history, I haven't include anything about my travelling. I dont even remember when I have gone somewhere, only in Europe though so I don't have stamps in passport either. And there wasn't nothing about to include graduation papers... Do they call to my school or how they will find out? And do they ever contact for example my family in my home country? They don't really speak English. Just wondering how they clarify all information.
Was personal history form only for the applicant, not for sponsor?

And the most important question now; should I send in new updated form of personal history? And explain I didn't notice wrote down travelling? My application seem to be stuck in security now for an year pretty much and no contact ever. And now I'm in huge panic I have screwed everything, I know it probably looks bad we met date site and "no travel history".
I would appreciate your help!

Decision made on SA side on May 10 but still we can't see anything on ecas or my cic. I called CIC and they are saying they are working on my part and let us know when it is completed. Don't know what is happening behind the screen. Any guess from anyone will be appreciated?

First of all, don't freak out... I recall needing to specify travel on my wife's forms, and I think it was background info. Can't remember which form or why. But even if you don't, they can easily find out.

CIC uses CSIS, interpol, and friends to collect info on you. So they'd be able to find out most things pretty easy. They might call schools, past employers, etc. I doubt they'd call family though. English isn't a problem, as they could just have a local security operative do the calling.

So, they may collect it and I suspect, so long as there is no negative indicators, they will look passed it.
