Although I can't answer ALL of your questions, I CAN comment on a few as I too asked this question on the forum previously and had gotten this response: 1. The date FROM is the most current entry (last entry) into Canada. For the date TO, a previous forum member told me to put the date of...

After speaking with an immigration consultant he advised that: - Address letters to Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada - Letters should start with the person's full name, date of birth, and address. And their relationship to sponsor/applicant. - They should state specifically when and...

I have the same question! How did you answer it? Can anyone please confirm what is meant by this question? (first time you ever came to canada or original entry under current status?

Hi, we are submitting an IN canada spousal application. We were married in Gibraltar and have an official Gibraltar Marriage Certificate. I know that it IS recognized by Canada, but I noticed that in the guide it says to check to see what additional requirements are needed when submitting a...

So, I am still supposed to list ALL family members (mother/father/sister/etc) on form 5406 but they will NOT have to submit a medical because they are not dependents. Is that correct?

I'm still a little confused about stating Family Members. The checklist says to include form IMM5406 where it asks for mother/father/brother/sisters/children. In the guide it says that ALL Family Members listed will need to submit a Medical Exam! So does this mean we have to ask everyone...

Never heard of an airline NOT accepting excess luggage. You will be fine. Just logon online to your airline to see flight and check in 48 hours before flight and there should be an option to purchase right there extra bags. Remember when filling out forms to state "Used" and "Personal Effects"...

We are just about to apply and I am in a similar situation where husband (Applicant) only recently came to Canada and as a visitor so name/address has been hard to get. Banks won't let you set up a joint account unless you have a SIN which visitors don't (although some members of the forum have...

Agree. This is what I was thinking would be best. Better to give them ALL the information then leave stuff out. Thanks

Just an idea. If you are young and healthy with no pre-existing health concerns, you may want to look into using a Midwife and doing a home birth. This may be more cost effective (I believe it's half the cost of hospital births!). Yes, there's always the chance with home birth that you may have...

Thanks! So the nearest immigration centre where I'm living.

My husband (applicant) is flying to Canada in a few weeks and we are planning on submitting our INLAND Spouse PR Application after that. If all goes well down the line, where is the landing interview held? Is the location for the interview based on where your last port of entry into Canada was...

Still would like some guidance on how to fill out the Employment History section in the OWP IMM 5710. Do we have to account for unemployment periods and gaps in employment? In other words, do we copy what we put in Personal History for IMM 5669? How come there's only 4 spaces, do we add more on...

Thank you! Once again you always provide such quick and confident and clear responses/answers. You presence on this forum is invaluable!

Agree with above poster. In this circumstance "residing" basically means living in and in your case the applicant is living in Canada in order to apply INLAND so for this question put residing in Canada and canadian address. Further on down the line in the application forms there will be a...

Not sure what to put in the box for Monthly Gross Income if I've been a). Unemployed. b). Done small freelance contracts lasting a week c). Self-employed but only a few hundred dollars a month but nothing regular as this amount would change every month. Can someone please advise? For the past 5...

Definitely write a letter of explanation! They are looking for official proof, but if you have none, think outside the box: Online shopping invoices, delivery invoices, magazine subscriptions, gym membership contracts, health care, dentist invoice, letters/postcards/greeting cards sent to you...

VERY helpful. Thank you for clarifying.

One last question if you don't mind. what happens when your passport expires after you get PR status? Is it somehow tied to your PR status, or are they separate documents? Can you just simply renew your passport without having to do anything with the PR card?

Oh, I see, so because we are applying INLAND, this doesn't apply to us anyway does it? So what you are saying is that once approved for PR status, you've got it forever, but it's just the physical card that needs renewing every 5 years?
