I am planning to invite relatives to visit me in Canada, and I think I heard about some kind of a official invitation form that people get at their local municipalities in Quebec. I am having trouble finding anything about this online. Does anybody know what this might be?

Is it possible for my sibling and their spouse to apply for a visitor visa together under a family visit if I am inviting them? I am not sure if sister/brother in law counts as family, and I could not find anything on google or by searching this forum. Does anybody have personal experiences...

Is an appointment required for biometrics in London VAC, if so, how far out are the available slots now? Is it possible to catch open slots by checking at certain times of the day?

I am trying to figure out what is the right way to apply for a visa for a sibling to come to Canada to help me during and after a major surgery. I might possibly hire somebody local to help, but it would be great to have a family member to advocate for me while I am unconscious, and make...

So, Hon. Sean Fraser has moved on to better things; he spent less time with IRCC than I've been waiting for my citizenship application to be processed. Who am I supposed to blame everything on now?

I've been looking around, and most firms that are recommended here, or have lots of reviews are in Toronto. Anybody had good experience with Montreal firms?

I am getting a feeling that my application was flagged for extra scrutiny for either Prohibitions or Presence or maybe something else, but I was not able to find out why. It has been in processing for almost 23 month now, with no updates in 14 months. According to GCMS notes, in February 2023...

I was thinking it would be nice to have a graph where you can see how many people had their application finalized in a given # of months. It should be doable with our spreadsheet trackers. Has anybody done it already? My application is in processing for almost 23 months, and no updates in over...

I finally received my ATIP notes, after several unsuccessful attempts, but not sure how to interpret some of the data. I tried calling IRCC, but could not get through to an alive agent. I applied a bit over 21 months ago, so now I am starting to get very concerned about not having any updates on...

I am buying a 3 year old car through dealership, and they are applying for financing for me. They told me that they received some conditional loan approvals from banks, and the condition is GAP and credit loss of employment insurance. Does this sound legit? I heard that credit insurance cannot...

I am trying to rent a condo in GTA, and I was sent a document called schedule A, that contains this: "The Tenant agrees to be responsible for the repairs of all fixtures and appliances in the premises up to and including the first hundred dollars [$100] for each and every repair (including the...

I've been trying to open a bank account with Tangerine, and they keep requesting more and more documents. Last time they sent me this list, of which I need to send something from each of the 3 categories: 1. Proof of ID (Front & Back): (Select 1) o Canadian Driver's License o Canadian...
