I need help. We submitted our application in December 4 with an expired police certificate. PA was in the Philippines that time. IRCC issued MIL SA and BIL then asked for a valid police certificate on Jan 23. We submitted the valid police certificate by regular mail on Feb 09. Canada post...

Congratulations. Can you share the date eligibility started? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation. As for not leaving Canada, we live very close to the United States's borders, and we were planning to visit for a few days. Is the rule that restrictive? How about a day visit where we actually return on the same day?

I researched the group for answers before posting. I was under the impression that once my wife arrives in Canada on TRV while her outland PR application is being processed, she can apply for an OWP. All posts regarding this said no OPW for outland applicants. Is this true, or has that changed...

I see your PA I in the Philippines. On your sponsor approval letter from IRCC, did they send the application to the Manila visa office for "further processing?" They did in our case. I'm asking if we should consider this a prolonging factor compared to an outland application processed at the...

I appreciate the alacrity with which you presented your thoughts, a testament to the lively nature of our forum. Yet, allow me to dispel any misconceptions: I am indeed a sentient being, endowed with flesh and blood, a mind brimming with thoughts, and a consciousness steeped in self-awareness...

The recognition of foreign divorces in Canada hinges on various factors, including the specific government agency involved and the objective for which recognition is sought. When the aim is to sponsor a spouse for immigration to Canada, IRCC is generally inclined to recognize foreign divorces...

I checked this thread, hoping someone would have replied. I have the same question and would love some advice. Thank you all.

I read other replies, and I know you said you are single and never married, and she is divorced in China. This is what I did: I was divorced with a foreign divorce certificate. She was single and never married before. I had to translate and notarize my foreign divorce certificate and get a...

Unless you are landing to live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland & Labrador, expect to bear the total cost of the hospital charges for the delivery. The healthcare coverage for the baby itself is different if your destination is...

It’s important to understand the type of admission to Canada you make when you land as a sponsored immigrant. While travelers entering for temporary purposes would have some expectations to carry proof of financial ability to support themselves during their stay, immigrants are entering with the...

Hello, awesome people, While visiting Canada on TRV my spouse visited a hospital urgent care unit twice on two consequent days. One day, she waited for a long time and decided to leave. She came back the next day and waited until she was attended to. The hospital billed her for the two visits...

Can you please explain more how this is a tax fraud? How one can benefit from filing a tax separate from their partner? Also, filling under the same address is not a proof of common law. Using the same logic, do you means thousands of roommates are common law partners?

Hi Preet, What's FBI Clearance? Is that what you did for BIL? Or is that like a police clearance certificate like the ones we did from home country? Have you not received instructions for medicals yet? Thanks.

File your 2023 taxes separately. If you are still living together but not legally married before the end of 2024, file your 2024 taxes as common-law partners. You need to contact neither IRCC nor CRA. Until now, there has been no paper trace of you being in a common-law relationship. You are good.

Questions were straightforward at the port of entry, and answers were brief. +"Who are are you visiting?" -"Visiting my brother" +"What do you do back home?" -"I work as an elementary school teacher." My wife is well-traveled, and she visited Canada several times prior to the trip on which we...

Our situation was somewhat similar. My wife entered Canada alone on a TRV. Here is what I recommend to avoid issues with immigration: Book a return ticket. You can book a fully refundable return ticket and once in Canada you can refund the return leg Back her luggage for visiting and not for...

Thanks, Tarikla. I checked the PR Tracker, and it's safe to say that IRCC systems need an overhaul service. The PR Tracker and the Online Service account show different information. Here are the differences: Item Online Services PR Tracker Biometrics Done Required Sponsor Eligibility...

Hello, wonderful people, My wife was in Canada a few months ago, and we applied to extend her stay. She did biometrics as part of the extension application. She left Canada, and then we applied for Family Class Sponsorship (Outland). We received AOR and BIL. When I linked the application on the...
