I suspect she will want Sushi

I love sushi too!

Aww ...sorry to hear. Is she in a lot of pain? Can't you go to another dental office? Toothache is the worst.

No, the tooth is dead. Randomly the gum explodes and bleeds. They gave her an anti-bacterial/anti-biotic mouth wash yesterday to drop the infection until she can see him. They did suggest they can try to find another peridontist, but that they suspected it would take more than a month -- this one is already ready to see her.

@sylvain1 , @browning911 : ironically, if the PR Card processing times are correct, then she will receive her PR Card a year to the day she got her OWP...

... the breaker of dreams ... lol!

You're very right here. Though, once it's in the mail, it's pretty fast to get to us. We still have door service....

Can anyone count the number of fraud charges? We don't need to look at tax evasion -- despite the open admission to it, we can let CRA look into that one...

Thank you Browning, hopefully both of us will get landing soon!

Wow....despicable. Vstar was AD$200 000 for the skilled worker application. Unbelievable.

Okay. Hope she is not in too much pain.

I have seen several (many?) requests for additional documentation lately. I wanted to compile a list of what CIC's operations manual IP-8 states as examples of evidence for:

Relationship (Married):

• a completed Spouse/Common-law Partner Questionnaire (IMM 5285; included in the application package);
• a marriage certificate;
• proof of divorce if either the applicant or spouse was previously married; and,
• evidence that the applicant lives with the sponsor, such as
  • mortgage, lease
  • other documents showing the same address for both, e.g. government-issued identification documents, driver’s license, insurance policies.
• If the applicant and sponsor have children in common, long-form birth certificates or adoption records listing the names of both parents.

Evidence may also include:

• wedding invitations and photos;
• Proof of joint bank accounts, e.g. bank statement or a letter from a financial institution;
• documents from other institutions or other government authorities, such as the Canada Revenue Agency, that indicate a marital relationship.

Relationship (Common-Law):
In the case of a common-law partner, documentary evidence should include:

• a completed Spouse/Common-law Partner Questionnaire (IMM 5285; included in the application package)
• a statutory declaration of common-law relationship (included in the application package);
• proof of separation from a former spouse if either the sponsor or the applicant were previously married; and
• evidence that they have been living together for at least one year (e.g. documents showing the same address for both).

Evidence may also include:

• documents from other institutions or other government authorities, such as the Canada Revenue Agency, that indicate a marital or common-law relationship;
• documents indicating joint ownership of property (mortgages, leases);
• joint bank accounts; and
• insurance policies.

Co-habitation:
Documents provided as proof of the relationship should also establish that the spouse or common-law partner and the sponsor are living together. If this is not clear from the evidence available, the CPC-M should request further documents or refer to a CIC for an interview. Evidence of cohabitation may include:

• joint bank accounts or credit cards;
• joint ownership of residential property;
• joint residential leases;
• joint rental receipts;
• joint utilities accounts (electricity, gas, telephone);
• joint management of household expenditures;
• evidence of joint purchases, especially for household items;
• correspondence addressed to either or both parties at the same address;
• important documents of both parties show the same address, for example, identification documents, driver’s licenses, insurance policies;
• shared responsibility for household management, household chores;
• children of one or both partners are residing with the couple;
• record of telephone calls.

Persons who are not cohabiting with their sponsor at the time CIC seeks to grant permanent residence (persons who have been removed or who have left Canada voluntarily), are not eligible to be granted permanent residence in the Spouse or common-law partner class and may apply in the family class (overseas).

Your application can (and probably should) contain a few letters or (even better) Statutory Declarations from family and friends that would know of the relationship.

Profiler knows that we received a request for further proof of marriage back on June 3rd. For those just beginning this process I encourage you to send as much proof as possible up front of co-habitation! We sent a pretty good bulk of it back when I applied March 2015 including:

• wedding photos
• 3 affidavits from friends/family members
• other photos dated with explanations from the time we first met through wedding/application day

Apparently it wasn't enough. My rep (who finally responded to me today. YAY!) said gather as many affidavits as possible (I've got 4 people scurrying to meet the deadline of end of the month). Along with that, I'm submitting handwritten love notes, bills with our names on it, drivers licenses with our shared address on it, proof of goods purchased for home.

200,000 and 15k for you lol. These people are so rich it's not even funny

Well, I have a slightly prejudiced view, of course. Personally, not only would I think it would be worth it, but maybe even more.

That said, yes, they probably wouldn't want to pay $200k if they were not going to make any of that money back by working.

There is "advantages" to calling Canada home (even becoming a citizen). Part of the reason they brought in the RPRF, is to "offset" the cost of running the immigration program, and as a means to pay for the increase in "market value". If you live in the Commonwealth, or you live in the USA, then there likely isn't a value increase sufficient. But, if you want to work in industries where Canada is considered a leader, then you want to pay the money to be here.

However, I think consultants are slimy, greasy "human beings" ("so-called judges"). Not all of them, of course, but many...
