He could ask for it, and yes, it probably would be a problem. But in 99% of the cases return tickets are cheaper than one-way anyway (one-ways are in 'higher class', more flexible and normally unrestricted), so you could just come on a return ticket and then cancel your return flight.

No, because if your sponsorship application gets refused the rest of the application goes right down the drain with it. There is no way PR application could possibly be accepted if sponsor was found ineligible, don't think too much into that question :)

Sigh. Yes, in other words they did. The problem with it is that the law they "got wrong" was the law they were in charge of applying, so if they "got it wrong" it means they're not doing their job properly. You may not consider that to be negligence, but it certainly isn't due diligence ;)...

Um... except they didn't "get the law wrong", they - an official government body, while making a binding decision, with a power to enforce said decision - wrongly instructed the applicant about legal remedies available to them, and apparently did so contrary to the law. That's a rather hefty...

It is possible, and you can extend your visitor status from Canada by sending an 'Application to extend my stay, change conditions or remain in Canada' with a $75 fee and proof of submitted spousal application to CPC Vergeville. You wouldn't be able to work in Canada during this time and you'd...

rjessome, if I'm not mistaken the OP said they are waiting for annulment and then plan to get married and apply as spouses: All the evidence listed was for the TRV application, I think.

Yes, to lift the condition. But what would be the criteria for a relationship lasting 2 years or more BEFORE applying? Married? Living together? Something else? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Lol, me too :D And I love how calm and collected he is in the face of some of the more interesting, uh, meals *chuckles* (Forum-appropriate, though, he did look a little baffled in Montreal, when Martin Picard served him some sort of foie gras-sprinkled mousse dessert :D). I like Ramsay too...

Heavens, no! I'm so sorry if it sounded that way, that really wasn't my intention. I can only hope authorities really start working more closely with such a knowledgeable (regardless of where that knowledge comes from) and dedicated "immigration insider" as yourself, for everyone's benefit :)...

Because the government wants to make sure it won't be losing any money in case the applicant goes on welfare. If the applicant is actually already employed, contributing both to his family and Canada itself, and obviously adjusting well - all the better. Go ahead and get the LMO. (And if you're...

First step towards President of the World title :D

In theory, it should allow for a less extensive/rigorous scanning, knowing that there is a possibilty of correcting a mistake later in the process. I already put in my 2 cents regarding that... here, a quote: ... and rjessome feels this method will actually only reveal mistakes being made on...

Oh, and if anyone is interested in reading something Canadian-but-different, I would very warmly recommend 'Green grass, running water' by Thomas King. Mr. Husband gave it to me when I first got interested in Native background in Canada, but it's a great read from any point of view. P.O...

You want to tick A and get your money back :) If you choose to proceed, due to ineligibility to sponsor your application will be refused, period - but for some very special cases this is unimportant, because in those very special cases applicants had no hopes of their application being accepted...

wilson, the form specifically says "including half- and step- brothers and sisters". That could of course mean only those related to your mother, but I think the question is being asked so broadly with the exact purpose of listing all relatives of that nature :) Personally I would do all I can...

Another fan here, but judging from the feedback from people who borrowed my copy of Kitchen Confidential (which was a wee bit better than Underbelly, IMNSHO) one's opinion about the book will depend entirely on their opinion about Bourdain himself. I find him charming, funny and an amazing chef...

As a matter of fact, there is: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp You'll find all the forms in PDF format at the bottom of the page.

Specify to whom? They have different forms with different questions, but I'm not sure what you're asking. There are no financial requirements for spousal sponsorship, so there are no co-signers either; this category is for other family class categories. (They of course do need a marriage...

Thanks for the correction! I just assumed all Applications to extend stay, change conditions or remain in Canada go to the same place, and specific work permits with LMOs and stuff are processed at 303. Self-slap for assuming :)

If she is planning to move to Canada for the duration of the process anyway, and since it's always a good idea to get the medicals done as late as possible before sending the application (because they expire in a year and you want to avoid having to do them again if you can), why wouldn't she...
