    Another reason to come to Canada.....

    Our police force is on the verge of being out of control like in the USA... eventually this will be more dangerous than the diminishing crime force in Canada.

    CIC approval system in Sep'11

    My wife in Brazil received a phone call. It took nearly a month as CIC only called once a week and my wife happened to miss the calls the first three weeks. The fourth week her cell phone never left her hands and she got the call with the happy news. Then it took another month to receive her...

    Letters of Support: What to do?

    We included only one letter. It was from a man who owns a restaurant that we had our very first date at. His restaurant was actually two doors down from my wife's mother's home, so he knew her very well, and had met me some years before. He also runs an English language school where my wife has...

    THE INTERVIEW IS NECESSARY ALWAYS TO DO? OR NO? HELP

    I will add my $2... My wife in Brazil was processed and visa approved after only 4 months. We were married the 18th of April this year, and by the 15th of May the application was in the mail. She was NOT asked for an interview. There is a big difference in our ages. Our relationship evidence...

    Ecas changed to Decision Made

    My wife in Brazil was processed in only 4 months. The Ecas said "Decision Made" and that they would contact her. It took nearly a month before my wife was contacted, but they did try about once a week to call. She missed the calls but did notice from caller I.D. that the number was from Sao...

    Texas to Canada: Harper's Crime Bill is a Huge Mistake

    Yes this is sad... I mean the new approach in Texas looks promising, but where our government is going is terrible. A prison state to go along with our rapidly growing police state. If our government was only half as human as the folks on this site, we would have an amazing beautiful government...

    Pictures supporting the relationship

    I read a lot of stress over the photos and I can't blame anyone for that. I was stressed too because I felt I didn't have enough. I submitted only about a dozen photos, poorly copied on to cheap paper. Anyway folks, my wife in Brazil had her visa issued in less than four months with very weak...

    CIC Sao Paulo makes decision after only 37 days!!????

    Thank you everyone what a feeling. Just made a quick call to Brazil and it's real, I wasn't dreaming! You know I actually didn't have a lot of evidence.

    Binding all the documents into 1 book

    I sent three folders. One was my application for sponsorship. One for my wife's PR application, and the third was supporting documents and photos. All three folders were labeled. Pretty and neat, and simple. SIMPLE is best.

    Yes I considered this but thought best to just streamline things as much as I could. Either way I suppose.

    # of years of education

    I was a bit stressed with this question also. My Brazilian wife started a sort of pre-school when she was three. Anyway total years in school for her was like 20 and she still never finished secondary (high school)! I thought "man if we say 20 years of school then she should be a doctor! Anyway...

    Job!!!

    Actually you don't need it but many people think otherwise. This is because they have been telling young Canadians in high school that it would be a very good idea to do this for the last oh, 35 years. We are not legally bound or obliged in any way to do this. A company can not legally refuse...
