Kiev is the English spelling for Kyiv and both are interchangeable so it is okay. I would not say this is a clerical error, that's just how we spell Kyiv in Canada.

ACTUALLY, its not being touchy, it is being sensitive to peoples natural anxieties! Some people (myself included) waited for 7 years (or more!) for the moment the letter comes for the oath invite. And they have to leave town for which ever reason, and don't want to miss the letter. Some people...

Agreed with this! When my husband went for his exam they asked for our travel dates as well, and we gave them and he was scheduled for his Oath 1 month after we arrived in Canada.

You know what they say about people who assume! People come to the forum to discuss with others who have been in this situation and believe it or not, there are Immigration Consultants on this page who come and help people instead of calling CIC and queuing for 2-5 hours to talk to someone who...

Thank you all for your responses. We will take all comments into consideration.

Does anyone have experience with getting a visitor visa approved with no travel history? As she is visiting family not just for tourism.

Hello all, My husband and I would like to invite our niece to visit Canada in the summer time for no more than 1 month. She has just graduated university and it would be a graduation gift from us. My husband is from Turkey and will be a citizen in June. My niece is living in istanbul and is...

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. It feels like it has been forever since I've been here checking in! My cousin is currently waiting for his passport to return so I thought I'd come look at your beautiful spreadsheet and see if I can find someone close to his application date! Good luck to...

AWW THAT SUCKS!!!! World Cup would have been amazing to see!!!!! Stupid PR Card backlog! I can't believe they said JULY! I hope we get the card before July! I wanted to take my husband to Las Vegas for his birthday... but his birthday has come and passed!

Hey!!! Did your hubby receive PR card yet?? We are in the backlog unfortunately :( haven't received his yet...

Abe, I am so sorry on the outcome. Sometimes those visas officers don't look at the evidence in front of them and just go off one red flag! I was really scared on mine as well because my husband is Muslim and I am not converting... which is another red flag (weird I know!) I hope that your...

I've sent an email to this address and I didn't get an answer from them. Turkey2013 did receive an answer from them, it is in the thread how long it took them to answer her.

Congrats, Doll!!!!!!! So happy for you both!

Usually 1 or 2 days! Not too long of a wait for the visa stamp.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insallah!

It all depends on the case. Many of us who applied at the beginning of 2013 got held up in the strike fiasco. So for me and my spouse, we waited 10 months to get his PR Visa. Some wait more than 16 months. Some only wait 3 or 4 months... There is no valid answer. I know that is what you are...

To those asking about Military Service. My husband did not do military service because he was a student and then moved to Canada (i.e. had it postponed) and this did not affect our PR application or the decision from the embassy!

If she hands in her passport, she will most likely get it back the following day. Or, she can have it mailed back.

Yes, of course. It will take longer, due to shipping times, but this is acceptable.
