Thanks! I hope you hear some good news soon. Our interview is scheduled at the Niagara office (the one on Portage road).

Hey guys, I received a letter for the landing interview earlier today (woohoo!). It’s surprising though to receive the letter from the Niagara office since I was expecting it to come from the Etobicoke office, being that we’re located in GTA. It seems that CIC is trying to speed things up so no...

That’s awesome, congratulations! I’m glad we’re almost done with this process.

Apply for your GCMS notes. The notes will include details on when and why your file was transferred to another office

Our application was received on November 6th and we received AIP and SA on October 3rd. We got DM in ECAS on the next day. You should hear from them soon!

I think this applies to Express Entry specifically, since the Schedule A/PCC request for Family Class clearly states the following: "In your online account, the system generated text in the blue box where you upload your documents may advise you that you need to submit a police certificate for...

We're in a similar situation as you - we live in a condo owned by her parents, so no lease. We had them draw up a lease for when we moved in and a letter stating clearly that they are not charging us any rent so we can save up for our future. I'm not too worried about the lease, since we have a...

Or you could both live here for 6 months and then you move to the States for another 6 months to fulfill the conditions of 12 months. Seen some other people go down this route on this forum.

Hi Canuck, thanks for your detailed reply! I wasn't working more than 5-7 hours a week, so surely didn't break any laws. I thought this would show up on my background verification/check as not having a T4 for this job, which is why I was worried. But your reply is definitely reassuring. The...

Thanks for your reply, KBH! That puts my mind at ease. I'll definitely sort the issue out with CRA.

Hi there, I've got a question that's been nagging me for a few days now and thought I'd ask here. I worked a couple of odd part time jobs while in university. While filling out the Schedule A form, I realized that one of the jobs never gave me a T4 or pay stubs. The owner paid in cash, and I...

That's good to know. I heard some similar advise from a consultant, but wasn't sure of the accuracy as they seemed so relaxed and carefree about it. She told us to just go ahead and submit the app, saying that we're not a 'red flag' case so we won't have any problems. It seemed too vague, as...

Thanks! That's great advise. We'll try to do just that. What are your thoughts on not having a lease for the past 2.5 years? Would a notarized letter from parents and a sibling living with us be enough to replace the lease? I know this package is quite new and it's difficult to assess how VOs...

I completely agree; we're going to be picking the most solid proof from our package before sending it in. It seemed excessive, and we were saving things for the past two years based on the old application package. Issue is, there is 5 years of relationship history to show. Should we focus on...

Good to know that you think this might be enough. That's pretty much the same for us, as utilities are in her parents name too. They already offered to write us a notarized letter stating that I've been living here for more than a year. So, in your case you're providing a joint lease and...

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read this! As an overview, my partner and I have been in a relationship for 5 years and been living together for a little over 4 years now. We have a lease for the first 18 months of us living together after which point we moved into a condo owned by my...
