So how did it go???? I hope you are celebrating!

It doesn't mean anything, they are just confirming. You've had the letter for quite awhile, yes? Perhaps they've had some issues with no-shows lately. BTW, my husband only got the letter via email from Accra. He never received one in the post, nor did I in Canada, even though they said they...

Won't it be difficult for the OP to add a common-law partner on his application when he has no proof of living together? At least getting married after he lands is some type of 'proof' of the relationship. That along with cards, gifts, phone records while he's in canada, emails, photos of their...

You are not a common law couple if you have plans to marry. You would be considered an engaged couple, and Canada does not allow immigration for fiances. I would say your best bet if you want to immigrate here soon is to have a small civil marriage ceremony, apply under the spousal category...

that final ecas update is absolutely the best, isn't it? it gave me chills when it arrived in my inbox 5 days after my husband finally got to Canada!

I am trying to understand the choices you are making: 1. Your family is not supportive of this relationship 2. You want to get married because your family would not want you in a long-term relationship (does this mean living together?) without being married Would your family really prefer that...

No, as I assume you are living together in the US, right? It would cause no problems at all. The issue is when a Canadian marries someone from overseas, the sponsor lives in Canada, the applicant in another country, yet they do not put in their application for a long period of time. This looks...

I think you will have a hard time proving your relationship is genuine with this course of action. Getting married on your first visit to each other is VERY suspicious, as is submitting your application a year after marrying. They will assume if you are genuinely married you would want to be...

I'm in the middle of this right now. I changed my driver's licence and Alberta Health Care the day after my husband arrived, only because we were at the registry anyways. I changed my name with my bank, but before that I opened another account at another bank with my maiden name, so that I have...

http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/12/22/santa-claus-a-canadian-immigration-minister-reaffirms/ No mention of Mrs. Claus - maybe Santa will have to sponsor her? Merry Christmas to everyone here, especially those who are still waiting to be with their loved one, and for those (like me) who will...

I would say that you have never resided in another country. When it says have you lived together, I would say yes, and then in the box below explain that you co-habitated during your visits to her country.

For goodness sake - stop being lazy and file your damn taxes, it is your obligation! If you've been paying a reasonable amount out of your paycheques and have some deductions, you aren't going to owe anything. It doesn't matter even if you owe taxes, your sponsorship will still be approved (as...

I think you are right. We can never plan the way things will go with pregnancy and birth, and heaven forbid you have some complication or need to deliver early and you are not yet covered. Just get your baby a passport as soon as it's born and you'll be ready to move. Seeing as you're from UK...

No, but he technically landed at Pearson and then went on to Alberta. His landing papers clearly state that he landed in Toronto, ON. My point is that they didn't question where he landed at all. I am absolutely positive that if the OP did not take up residence in Nova Scotia they will be...

In BC, your health care will start on the first day of your third month. So if you arrive Jan 1 it will begin on April 1. If you arrive on Jan 31 it will still be April 1. In BC midwives are covered under the provincial health plan (they are also covered in some other provinces, but in some...

I disagree. If they never took up residence in NS or applied for Health Care, Alberta will cover them from day 1. The three month wait is because Alberta assumes you have health coverage from another province which will cover you. If you have proof of Alberta residency and that you do not have...

2. Depends which province you will be living in. Alberta will cover you from the day you arrive. In other provinces you have to wait until up to 3 months after moving back. It would be much easier for you to have your baby in Canada, if you are able to get things in order and move before then...

If finances are not an issue, I cannot see why you would not want to stay and be with your family! Try to find a volunteer position that will help you with employment once you receive PR. Hopefully Pretoria will finish processing your application before you would have to leave Canada. Just stay...

Sorry you have to wait another 6 weeks for the interview, but at least you know when it will be! If you're at all concerned about travel due to advanced pregnancy, I would call the embassy to see if you can reschedule.

Don't worry about that 2nd part, that's just about decision made regarding the documents to send in. If the photo is okay, etc. Congratulations!!!
