Maybe he's just not suited for that field and should choose a different field. I had a friend who was studying linguistics at my university and she was asked to leave. She applied for education at a different university and she must be doing okay with that because 2 years later she is still in...

That is what I am doing. I'm driving to a U.S. airport and flying down to Florida. Then I'm loading up his stuff and bringing it north to his father's in Pennsylvania and a storage unit in northern New York state. Then we're picking up my car and driving together to Canada. I am following what...

I have way too much evidence myself. I will have to find a way to be selective. Our IM chats from Sept/07 to Apr/09 would be over 3600 pages if I printed them out. Last April I had to make a new ID, and I don't know how much more has been added since then. Besides the fact that some of that...

My advice would be to provide records for as far back as you can and explain what you've explained here. You really can't do any better than that. Does anyone else from Georgia call you on that number? I'm think the answer is probably not. The fact that you probably got that number just for...

I think that's intended to mean family members who are immigrating with him. I'd probably try to get clarification from CIC if you can't find a definition in the guide of what they mean.

Well, I'm talking about a "dual intent" Visitor Record situation where the immigrant is allowed to stay in Canada as a visitor until a decision is made on the VR app. I'm not going to worry about it. It looks to me that Quebec health insurance is available in this situation after only a 3-month...

The thing that concerns me is in the manual OP11, pages 19-20. I'm just wondering how much of a concern this may be. I don't think I want to buy emergency medical coverage if there's any chance he won't be allowed to visit.

For anyone who has received a Visitor Record at the border as described here, I have two questions: 1) Do you need a photo for this document? I'm assuming you don't. 2) Is it necessary to have private health insurance coverage on the person being sponsored? From looking at the manual, it seems...

Locrian, you can't imagine how excited I am to see that you made it successfully. I'm about to do the same thing as you with my (same-gender) "conjugal partner" from Florida, and it should work the same way. We already thought about leaving his stuff in storage in Florida and just flying up...

The problem is that if he stays at your place "a least 3 times a week" he's really living in Canada and just commuting to Detroit for work. It sounds like he's sleeping in Canada more than he's sleeping in Detroit. This is definitely a problem. There is no income requirement to sponsor your...

But, most Americans have less reason to stay permanently in Canada than he does. The following quotation from elsewhere on the Internet sums things up: U.S. citizens don't need a visa, but they must meet the same general criteria. If you're coming for a short vacation, and you claim to have a...

Well, I know that he can file for an extension and we'll probably have to do that, but for now, I'm more concerned that he will be permitted to come in the first place, because he's not here yet. I know that border agents are reluctant to let unemployed people cross the border unless they are...

I have a same-gender conjugal partner living in Florida (U.S. citizen). Our initial contact, via the Internet, was in June of 2007, but we really started IMing regularly in September 2007. We first met in person April 2008, and I've visited him 5 times and he has visited me in Canada twice in...
