The thing is there is a broad spectrum of mental illness. If you're thinking of mental illness as depression, then no, most people wouldn't commit crimes. But mental illness also encompasses schizophrenics and these people hear voices, or see things that compel them to do things out of their...

Probably a few reasons. 1) Climate in Vancouver is warmest in Canada so a lot of homeless migrate out here. 2) Government shutting down Riverview, which was this huge psychiatric hospital that once had 7000 beds. I worked there in the late 90s when I was still a student and it still had 800...

congrats ddrobro2! Have been praying for you for a long time. Hope you'll still stick around to give those of us behind you support.

They used to be institutionalized, if psychotic enough. But since the 90s, governments have been closing down institutions in favor of treating these patients in the community. In fact, it is known that a large proportion of the homeless in the downtown eastside of Vancouver have mental illness.

She's obviously mentally ill. DIdn't read all of the posts but risperidone is an anti-psychotic (I'm a doctor). We use it to sedate people or people who have schizophrenia or bipolar sometimes take it on a regular basis. The fact that she keeps posting nonsense and reading her words feels like a...

Dunno if it's worth posting but ecas now says my wife's app is "In process" and medical results have been received.

We were transferred to LA. Buffalo is quite busy now so they are offloading their workload to other satellite offices. Doesn't mean anything except that it may be faster processing.

SSM is legal in NY state now too, so I am guessing they haven't really updated that page.

Yanik, what is your citizenship if you don't mind me asking?

Unless she is a student or has a work permit or has PR or citizenship, delivering in Canada will be very expensive.

Thanks guys. I think for this year we will file separately as I don't want to go through the hassles of joint filing. We'll wait til she's here. There is an option that says to pick "single" if she is married and either separated, or spouse is a non-resident alien. I am assuming I am a...

Hi guys, this is a question about US taxes. I am Canadian, my wife is American. Right now, I am in Canada, she is in the US. How should she file her tax return? I do not need to pay US taxes do I? I know this is a stupid question but just want to make sure. She should put she is single, no? I...

I forgot what I paid but it was definitely less than the 1040. Probably something like 400-500, don't remember exactly.

Is the RPFP fee the same as the receipt you include at the beginning of the application? Or is it another fee on top of that original fee?

I think HK is the VO for southern China including Guangdong so it is the correct visa office. This is probably why they are so busy (they also are responsible for applications for Taiwan). I don't think you can request they transfer your app to another office as BJ is responsible for probably...

The 11 month figure is when 80% of the applications will be processed. So the vast majority will be done before that. Gives us hope

Will do... Keep checking the Buffalo thread. All of us Americans and those with American spouses are congregating there.

Did she notify CIC of the divorce? I am guessing you guys may need to start the process over with you as the co-signer. And seeing that they've put a moratorium on parents and grandparents, you will probably not be able to apply at this time. They can be, however, eligible for the super visa.

My wife got transferred. Nothing special in our file. Just says to "expedite the process" they're transferrign our files. Looking back at the other threads, most people get approved in a few months after transfer, so here's to hoping that we'll all get approved soon. Looks like LA may be more...

Does anyone know if e-cas will still get updated if your file gets transferred to LA?
