I am trying to use this Law Society of Upper Canada's Lawyer Referral Service...you get a free 30 minute consultation.

Thanks for the link. I think she should be fine. I wonder where they get their sources from. I think she will be OK as long as we explain the circumstances, but I am going to have to contact the police department again and talk to someone. The last time I called around Xmas, they told me that...

Exactly, I was thinking the same thing, but the police department told me the only way to order the records is for her to go there :/

Of course, that is the right thing to do. If you love your wife you will live anywhere with her. But before that happens, I want to make an actual committed effort to try to immigrate to another country and get a work visa. If that also fails then I understand that we can't live the rest of our...

Hi Ponga, thanks for the reply. She was living in KS but working in Missouri when she had the tickets (she was driving to work). One was for speeding and the other was for careless driving (a little too far over the yellow line, so a police officer had to swerve a little to avoid getting hit)...

She lived and worked illegally in the US for 2.5 years. She has two missed court dates for speeding tickets. She missed the dates because she left to come back to Mexico so we could get married. She never did anything else illegal. Her reason for entering the US in the first place were to get...

We have not applied yet. I was having financial problems in Canada and was unable to find employment for two months, until I had an offer in Mexico City, which is where I am currently working to this day. We just couldn't think of any other way to be together. Because she had a previous 2.5...

Ok thanks for the link. Also, you got your Family Class Sponsorship visa in less than five months!?

I am having a hard time finding any info on this on the internet. There are some news posts from December of last year saying how Trudeau is committed to removing the visitor visa requirement for Mexicans coming to Canada, but I am trying to find out if there is an ETA on this. I want to take my...

I've never heard of that before; we'll look into it! We used Western Union because we still didn't find anything convenient and time was running out. I should have just given the car back to the dealership! Oh well, when it's time to come back home in a few years we will still have a car :D

Hi all, I need to find a cheaper way to send money to my Canadian bank account. I have my FM3 and am working, and they put money in my Bamamex, which has a Master Card attached to the bank card. They, and many other banks, want about $50 to $80 Canadian dollars equivalent as a service charge...

According to just about everyone I talk to here, in Mexico you are not allowed to change your last name. If for some reason you are able to do it, it appears it would be quite expensive and a big hassle to do so. With that being said, can I request for CIC to issue a PR card to my wife (when she...

It looks like a study visa is out of the question, especially considering the international student fees. At least we are together now. I just have to be careful living here and hopefully there won't be any safety issues.

Alright, thanks everyone for the advice! Hopefully our approval doesn't take so long.

Hi, Can someone help me determine the options available for my wife to get permission to work in Canada? We are going to be applying very soon for Family Class Sponsorship. She is a Mexican national, and can't demonstrate strong ties to Mexico, hence us not bothering trying for a TRV. She...

What if we are not yet ready to move to Canada after PR is offered to my wife? Will they eventually say the offer is no longer valid? I just started a decent job here in Mexico and I am getting good experience, so maybe 1 to 1.5 years later we still want to stay for the job? Obviously we are not...

Thanks, Rob and Ponga. You have both answered quite a lot of my previous posts. I may soon have to begin sending you consultation payments haha. Note to self: Fly to Mexico City next time; don't drive there from Canada.

Hello all, I discovered that shortly after I moved to Mexico to work and live with my wife, I went into collections for some small personal credit card debts, a small financial loan, and an internet company. I am hearing mixed responses of a sponsor's eligibility to sponsor someone if they have...

Hi everyone, I have a few questions. #1 When my wife (Mexican national) gets her PR, she will be eligible to attend Canadian colleges and universities with the same tuition fees as I (Canadian citizen) would, correct? #2 She doesn't have any post-secondary education so I'm sure she'd just have...

I am a Canadian citizen.
