    Need help, I'm so confused

    There are 2 ways to apply for PR: inland and outland. Applying outland does *not* mean that you necessarily live outside Canada. If you apply inland, the last step of the process is what is called the "landing interview". Once the application is complete, your local office contacts you and...

    Getting married at the court house....

    There is no minimum income required for spousal sponsorship, but as Sweden explained, if the income is low, your bf will have to explain how he plans on supporting you. I don't believe he has to live in Canada while you guys are applying, but you will need to prove that you plan on living there...

    JULY 2012 Applicants join here

    There are political reasons behind all these processing times ;) And it is the same in pretty much any country. There are always reasons behind these numbers. It is not "fair" but it is the way it is

    If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from ? Are you from a visa exempt country ?

    When does the medical exam need to be done?

    You can do both. You can eitherget them done as you send your application or wait for the VO to ask for it. If you get them done before, the only risk is that they expire if CIC doesn't get to your application fast enough. However, if they do, this will accelerate the process. It is your call. I...

    Certifying documents -- how far should we go?

    As said above, you don't need to get all of these certified. One more thing that I thought was good to get notarized was a support letter. We sent quite a few, but we only got the one from my parents in-laws (sponsor's parents) notarized.

    No you cannot get in the US on a Canadian visitor visa. However, what you can do is flag-polling (just go through the border and come back)

    Inland Application 2011

    Thank you =) My landing will indeed be tomorrow. If I were you I would go to your local Service Canada office and ask. This is the best way to know. When I asked them if I could get my SIN on the same day as the landing interview they said "No, unless you are from a visa exempt country. If you...

    Inland Application 2011

    I was told by Service Canada that the only way to get the SIN straight after the landing interview is if you are from a visa exempt country. If you aren't, you need to wait for your PR card. However, you're saying you would have to go to the US, therefore the SIN is not the only thing you need...

    A better future with My True LOVE...

    Hi Vicky, If your fiance is in Portugal right now and you're in Greece, I take it you haven't been living with her ? B.C does allow same-sex marriages. There is no minimum income for spousal sponsorship. They might look at it though to make sure you can support her. If you marry her in...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

    I never sent any communication log and it worked (my landing interview will be in 3 days yoohooo). I would say that it depends how much other documents you can send them. For example, if you have credit card statements, bank statements, bills, leases etc with both names, as well as pictures and...

    How do I change visa status from tourist visa to working visa when in Canada

    Go to the closest border, cross it and come back ;) I've done it before with a work permit I got from France. You can't go to the airport if you're already in the country

    Please help me

    Does Bangladesh recognize a religious wedding as a legal form of wedding ? You seem to say that you will not have any papers so I'd say no but can you confirm ? Is your wife to be in your application (as common law partner ?) or not at all ?
