    Romanian Timeline - In Process

    I would concur with most of the comments made above. There are hours of operation for Immigration Services, so I would ensure that you are landing within an airports hours of operation. My hubby landed in Calgary 6 weeks ago, and once he landed, he did not need to send in another application...

I think the most you could get in terms of help from your sister in Immigration's eyes is a visitor visa. However under a visitor visa you cannot work, and there is a point in time...

    August 2012 Applicants Thread =)

    My huby landed on April 9 2012 :) He said that everything went smoothly at the airport, and it seems that 2 hours and 45 minutes was sufficient at the Calgary airport, with some time left over. His English is minimal, and he didn't have any trouble completing the landing interview and the works...

    Another Option C Thinker...

    Hey, What ended up happening in the first application package (horrible mailing/my error, we had to redo our application package), was that I had written a letter and explained what the mix up was, and attached some payment stubs as proof. However, when we redid our package, I had received our...

    Hey, Sorry to bump this thread! I was just going through the thread, and I have a few questions regarding the specificity in detailing electronics. My hubby will be bringing his laptop, his phone, a camera (that I gave to him), and tiny little speakers for his computer. I presume that I should...
