    Thread for October 2010 Applicants

    Out of curiosity, has anyone who was sent a decision letter on Nov. 4 received it yet? I have not and am starting to get worried since it seems to be taking a long time for within Canada mail.

    If inland application fails

    Lizet, I know what you mean. I prepared to apply inland and had almost completely finished (but had not yet mailed it) when, through this forum, I realized outland would be much quicker for me (and allow more freedom to travel, if necessary.) So we decided to re-do the application to be outland...

    Apply as spouse in a year, my only route?

    Jessi, I have no idea what stage of your career you are at, so perhaps this is not possible at your career level, but have you looked into any sort of exchange programs in journalism? Like some sort of internship/research/cultural exchange related to your field? Perhaps some type of grant to...

    What does the FBI clearance envelope look like?

    HeatherUSA is totally right about the envelope size. I got mixed up because my other police report from another country came in the half-page size, with the folded sheet inside. Oops. Her comment jarred my memory, and mine was a big, light brown envelope too.

    What does the FBI clearance envelope look like?

    Re: What should the FBI clearance envelope look like? Huh, I opened mine and made a copy for myself before sending the original with the application. Unfortunately, I can't remember what color the envelope was. I think it was the size of a sheet of letter sized paper folded in half, but I am...

    Checklist question

    The region checklist has priority, so make sure you send enough (3 as it sounds in your case) to cover the region requirements. We checked off the list for Canada and the list for the region, based on making sure we included enough to satisfy each list. So on our sponsor check list for the CIC...

    Temporary insurance after applying inland.

    Yes, they asked if I had been to see a doctor in the last three months and what it was for (then they said that if I had a re-occurrence of that, it would not be covered in this coverage). I think they also asked a few other questions about medical history, but I don't really remember.

    Temporary insurance after applying inland.

    I got temporary medical insurance with Blue Cross Quebec. And it was less expensive because I had already had the immigration medical exam, so I would make sure when you inquire (with any company) to ask if there is a discount for having done that. I would also tell them you have submitted your...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    adi79, Sometimes the doctor's office does not give you this form. I got my medical exam done in Montreal, Canada and they only gave me a receipt which they said was all I needed as proof. After I figured out that the Outland list requires the IMM 1017, I spent about 3 weeks calling the doctor's...

    How to submit the application?

    I don't think it is required to do on every page, though the CIC instructions do include something about labeling supplemental pages with the relevant question number. But I personally wanted to do it on every page, and here's why: I used to work in an office that processed many, many college...
