Hi Triple P, I am an international student in Canada and, for the most part, I had been in your girlfriend's situation in the recent past. I agree with Daehder, get her study permit extension done prior to filing her PR application. It is better to stay on the safer side. Besides, her study...

Hi, you should be ok. Just make sure you use the Client ID number from now on. It happened to me before (didn't provide Client ID No.) on my renewal and I was fine. CIC officers have other ways to identify you and find your information in their system.

Hi, you have to send original IELTS.

Hello Happy Mom, There are actually lots of other Filipinos in this forum but most of them are applying in other visa offices and not in the Manila visa office. You can check out the other threads they started here as well.

I am guessing that amount available should cover airfare and reasonably sufficient pocket money during duration of trip, as a minimum. Of course, the more funds they can show, the better for them. I've been traveling to Canada as a visitor even before I moved here as student and each time I...

Hi, I know that ecas updates can be viewed Tuesday mornings. It's a little strange though because I saw a change this morning (Monday first thing). I know it was just changed because I just viewed it last night and this new update was not there yet.

Hello all, I want to know how long it took between date of your AOR from Buffalo (not Sydney CIO) and the date when e-Cas was changed to "Received by Visa Office". And when you click on "Received by Visa Office" can you please tell me what details you can view? Thanks.

Hi, I think ja77 has answered your question that copy of passport page need not be notarized. Actually, all documents for Sydney CIO need not be notarized, just photocopies. It is when you submit the full application to your local visa office when you have to get all photocopies notarized.

CIC wants to know how your new study program fits into your plans in the future. It is trying to make sense of what you intend to do by going to school. CIC just wants us to apply under the correct category i.e. if not a genuine student and instead an intending immigrant, then it wants us to...

I am in Canada right now as an international student and I have a 7 year gap between now and my prior study period. So I don't think gap in years matter at all. What CIC is quite concerned about is how your new program of study will fit into your present career and what you intend to do after...

Hi, on form IMM 0008 only include the following: "Family members include a spouse, a common-law partner, dependent children, and dependent child of a dependent child" basis: p.23 of http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf. It is on form IMM 5406 where you have to disclose...

CIC's intention in asking all of us to show proof of funding is to make sure that we all have funds to cover our living expenses upon arrival in Canada. Depending on a lot of factors, we may find it easy or quite difficult to secure jobs and so the funds should be there to tide us over. It is...

Hi, letter of registration with includes statement that you are in good standing should suffice. Read the instructions and the checklist very well. I hardly remember it from the top of my head anymore. You are welcome.

Hi, if you are a non-native English speaker it is incumbent to take IELTS. If you've been reading threads in forums like this, you will realize that it will be to your great advantage to take it. If, however, you have calculated your points and you have exceeded by more than a few points the...

You have to go to the CIC website for the country where the Canadian embassy or consulate you need to apply for a visa is located. Each country has its own specific rules and all the steps you need to take as well as list of documents you need is there. Also there is a link to see processing...

Couldn't agree with you more. I found myself lurking on this site all the time since I applied and eventually answering questions whether I can. Just a sign that this application has been on my mind since. <Sigh!>

Hello, Even while waiting for AOR, and if you are quite certain that you are an eligible applicant, I suggest you start collecting all supporting documents for full application. Start with IELTS and look on your local IELTS administrator the dates available for testing and register to take the...

Hi, your e-cas status that reads "CIO-S Eligibility Review Complete" means that you should either be receiving an emailed communication from Sydney or a reply sent to you by post. Mine only said "Application received on x/x/09" until it was suddenly changed to the same message that you quoted...

Hi, It might help for you to go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf as everything you need to know in sending your application to Sydney CIO is there. Good luck!
