    Tired of the Complaining

    That is the crazy part, they asked for a second FBI report (there was nothing on the first or second one), and asked for a second set of medicals at the same time they sent the AOR (nothing out of the ordinary on the first or second set). I think someone goofed up and lost part of our file or...

    Tired of the Complaining

    We followed the rules too. We knew exactly what to expect. Our case is straightforward. I am an American (so are my ancestors going back 100's of years). We were married for 2 years before applying. We submitted everything that was asked on time. When we applied, the wait time at Buffalo was 11...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    US citizens are allowed to stay 6 months for a visit. As long as he states he is visiting, and not moving, it will not be a problem. I have been "visiting" for over a year while we wait for ppr. Just make sure that if it is longer than 6 months before he lands, that he applies for an extension...

    Any thoughts on this? opinions from both ends; Sponsor and Sponsored Spouse

    This applies whether the rule is in effect or not. You cannot take a Canadian child out of the country without both parents permission.

    Any thoughts on this? opinions from both ends; Sponsor and Sponsored Spouse

    I think the intentions are good here, but: *2 years does not protect the sponsoring spouse, it should cover the entire time period of the sponsor's financial obligation. *Removal of conditions should be automatic and not require any application. *The sponsored spouse should be required to...

    What are some examples of "convenient marriages?"

    My idea of convenient marriage is a 24/7 wedding chapel. CIC's idea is that you marry someone because you want to use that marriage as a way to get into Canada.

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    I meant that the company did the prints, and I mailed the application to the required FBI address as stated by CIC. I did not use a channeler, The girl made me "dirty" fingerprints on the FBI standard card, and I mailed them. I got the report back about 9 weeks later, if I remember correctly.

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Are there any private companies that offer fingerprinting in your area? I used a company that offered mobile fingerprinting service, it cost me $25, but it was nice because the rep met me at my office, so I didn't have to take time off work to get it done.

    Renting a Car in Ontorio/Toronto

    Agreed. I have never purchased insurance from a rental car company, because I always pay with my VISA card. And if not that, my auto insurance covers car rentals, and the best deductible they can offer is the same as my auto insurance, so I saw no point in paying extra. Definitely check with...
