    Is the expiry date of a newly issued PR always extendable?

    A few thoughts: 1) When the time comes, your visa will be issued up to the validity of your medical (or her passport expiration date, if it were shorter). 2) You cannot ask for the visa date to be extended. If you can't land in time, they will advise you to reapply. (Well, perhaps if...

    Thanks, it does! Hopefully they consider our case 'straight-forward' but we will never know until we get there. :)

    Also for anyone reading in the future who might be in a similar situation, my husband is undocumented in the US since he was a kid and that had zero negative affect on our case. He just had to get FBI clearance. He never had to go to Mexico to get the visa and if he did he would have had to do...

    Oh, gosh. It's one of those you-know-it-when-you-see-it type of things. In general, things that help include: - A well-established (long) relationship for a couple living together for an extended period of time in line with cultural expectations (e.g. met at school, long courtship, family at...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    You don't need to provide a police certificate in China as a sponsor. The V.O will check your background in China anyway. If you have a job letter, family members, and financial documents such as a bank account, credit cards, rental agreement / mortgage / line of credit or school enrollement...

    You're welcome msjoyce. It is so sad and frustrating when you think you are doing the right thing and the VO turns it around as a negative. So hard to know what to say to prove your ties and intent to return home. They say you can reapply when your situation has changed, so I hope you ar able...

    Thanks CharlieD, I do have kids who are already Canadian Citizens, and have all already started taking the necessary steps to taking them our of school, all shots up to date etc. I have been setting up everything to move but not having a set date due to hubby's papers makes it king of hard for...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    Canada used to process applications directly at visa offices. However, they have been moving much more to the centralized model to filter out applications that, even with a cursory look, are incomplete or don't qualify. This way, all applicants save time and the government saves money...

    Your evidence will be fine. Don't make me get on a plane to China just to come bop you on the head and tell you to cease and desist this worry-wart of the year audition. :P No, it's not pointless for the applications to go to CPC-M, there is information needed about sponsors that the visa...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    To build on this, [color=blue]OP-2 says: "Officers must also be satisfied that sponsorship requirements are still met at the time of visa issuance. If a sponsor is no longer eligible, officers must refuse the application..." Given that the sponsor must intend to return to Canada (and meet all...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    So then it makes no sense to send the application to Canada. We should just send everything to the visa office to reduce the processing time. If CIC-M doesn't do very much, then it's kind of pointless. I only hope that the evidence I have submitted will be sufficient. There is really...

    Good morning! Lovely day outside, I hope everyone has plans to enjoy it. Blondie, if CIC says you're approved, relax and take your mind to the next stage. The actual letter itself is just confirmation of what you already know, and while I know it's important to have the actual letter in your...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    I'm wondering the same thing. I'm living in Colombia with my wife, and we've been approved for step 1, so I'm assuming the evidence I provided of intent to return to Canada is sufficient. If the VO also looks at that evidence, they're duplicating process that obviously leads to delay. It...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    CPC-M looks at the bare minimum, so to speak, when it comes to the sponsor's eligibility. They confirm that they are over 18, not in jail, not an undischarged bankrupt, and not on social assistance for reasons other than disability etc. They don't do much more than that. It is the visa office...

    Intent to Return - Who looks at this?

    Hi all, I'm a bit confused. Who is responsible for approving the sponsor's intent to return to Canada? If CIC-O has approved the sponsor, doesn't that mean they are satisfied with the evidence presented proving the sponsor will return to Canada? If it's the visa office abroad, why? I...

    April 2012 applicants, join here.

    I've signed a new contract for 2012-2013 (September to September). My company will renew my visa for that period. I didn't mention this, aside from saying I cannot resign until I know what's going on with my wife's visa, as I am the only one with an income and we want to continue saving while...

    FS, if they aren't satisfied with your intent to return it would be the VO that contacts you in step 2. However it is very unlikely. You gave waaaaay more proof than me and it was fine. Someone in January had to provide more proof because all they did was write a letter saying they would move...

    Thanks everyone! Yes, it is an amazing feeling! I can't wait for all of you to feel what it's like! It should take about 10 days for the application to reach the VO in HK, at least that's what my wife has read on that QQ group. Also, by getting approved, does that mean they believe my intent...
