A mortgage in Canada doesn't prove you plan to live there. Lots of people own homes in countries where they don't live Canadian credit cards and bank accounts also don't mean you'll live in Canada. My husband and I have these but live in Australia Investment accounts - see above Driver's...

No, cousins are not close family.

If you and your wife are separated and not living together then it is not a genuine marriage. I have a lot of empathy and am not "mean". What I am is realistic. You want to know if you could have problems or your sister could have problems later if you don't withdraw. Yes, you could have...

How many different ways do you need to be told? You HAVE TO withdraw it today. Stage 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 987, it doesn't matter. If you are not still in a genuine, committed marriage then you have to withdraw your application NOW.

Friends are not relatives. Close relatives include your parents, sisters and brothers (and their spouses), your children.

CIC or an immigration consultant? If it's CIC then send them. An immigration consultant I would say no to. Your T4 is not necessary for your friends' visit.

If you do that you will be committing immigration fraud. Your PR could be revoked at any time and you would have to leave Canada and would likely face a ban. YOU MUST WITHDRAW YOUR APPLICATION NOW. TODAY, NOT ANY LATER.

Can you both travel and meet in a country that does recognise same sex marriage? I believe Taiwan has legalised same sex marriage. You could meet up with your partner, get married, have a week or 2 honeymoon then come back to Canada to sponsor her. That way nobody has to give up their job and...

That's a possibility, but unlikely.

If it's successful stories the OP is looking for, then I'll share mine. My (now) husband and I met each other online in December 2014 while I was visiting my family in Canada (I'm Canadian living in Australia for the past 13 years) and he's British but has lived in Australia since 1986. We met...

You are not single, so you cannot have the status of single if you are not single! You should change your status to separated. You are not single, you are not divorced.

Tell your ex wife that all correspondence from her must go to your lawyer and any direct contact will be seen as harassment and you will have no choice but to file a police report. Then mark her email address as spam and block her phone number.

Do you not have anything in your name with his address on it? Letters sent to you? Mobile phone contract? A driver's licence? You need to show that you actually live with your spouse.

Do you really want to start your working life with a lie of omission? Why wouldn't you be honest from the beginning and see where it goes from there? IMO it's much better to he upfront and your potential employer not be surprised by what may show up than they find out later and you're out of a...

It means that a non PR/citizen of Canada applied for a visa through an economic stream and included the OP and one of their children as dependents. They therefore were NOT sponsored. Sponsorship is when a PR or citizen of Canada sponsors their spouse and/or children to live in Canada. I am a...

Updating your status with CIC has nothing to do with your name. You update CIC that you are married, and if you choose to change your surname then you also let them know that. Your PR card doesn't have anything to do with applying for a spouse visa. You update CIC of your marital status, then...

Your name on your PR card or anything else is not relevant. There is no obligation for a woman to change her name after marriage. A maiden name does NOT mean single status - it means that you have elected not to change your name (perfectly legal and well within your rights).

So what's the plan B if his visa is refused? If he refuses for you to live there with him will you divorce then?

No, not complicated at all. Yes, there is a very high probability that a TRV will be rejected. She is from Syria (as stated above not the most stable place) and is married to a PR Yes. Sponsorship takes approximately 12 months, likely more in your case due to your recent divorce and your...

Did you submit a long form birth certificate that shows your parents names? I was born in Ontario and have 2 birth certificates - one long form with my parents' names and a short form which is like a wallet card with less information on it. CIC wants the long form.
