    Receive AOR

    Medicals are nothing extraordinary. You get a questionnaire that is filled by one of the 3 CIC approved doctors (Tegucigalpa, Comayagua and SPS 1 each), the contact info for these doctors are attached along the questionnaire but you can also look them up on CIC's webpage. The doctor will fill...

    Receive AOR

    Nice, very fast, gigab. I don't understand your question though. Are you expecting them to call your employers and colleges to confirm what you sent? They should though to be honest, I never heard of them confirming anything with my employer, I would have found out if they had since my employer...

    apply police clearance in caracas

    You can contact the entity that gives the PC in Venezuela yourself and ask for a suggestion. I, for instance, needed one from Mexico and one per each state I lived in. I lived in two different states and only was able to obtain one because I called beforehand and asked what was needed for me, a...

    May need to return back

    Canada is kind of expensive (depending where you come from), there's a reason why the proof of funds are so high and people here usually say that you need to multiply the CIC amount times 4 to have an actual projection of what you will spend on your first 6 months. Having said that, $500 won't...

    Money received after landing

    Well, it's tax money. I pay 1.5% of my salary to the government in order to safekeep it so when I want to buy a house I can request and the state finances the house, at least that's the idea of the tax. It's an obligatory tax whether you own your home already or not. Since it's more like money...

    Money received after landing

    I apologize but I need to hijack this thread for a question of my own. There's a tax in my country that I can collect back if I leave the country for good, ie. leaving to Canada, but I can't collect it till I have the PR card. It isn't my intention to return and collect it as soon as I get the...

    May need to return back

    1. Since your wife is staying there, she can receive the PR for you and send yours via UPS, DHL, etc so you could get back in Canada once your business at your home country are done. 2. It's not free but she would be a PR, she can apply for scholarships or financial aid but the specifics of how...

    Questions around Canada PR (Skilled Worker)

    You may need to present your proof of funds in two occasions: 1. When you submit your application (must show it) 2. Before issuance of PR on your passport (they will ask you -sometimes-). You will also need to present it when you land.

    Card expiry while abroad with Canadian spouse

    1. Not possible. 2. Yes, she can; but she can enter with her passport alone as a visitor. 3. No limit, your wife hasn't lost status as PR because she's married to you, a Canadian citizen. The card has an expiry date but this isn't expiry of her status, just the card itself. She could be 20 years...

    principal applicant die

    Yes, that's what I figured but I wasn't entirely sure and didn't want to give her false hope but having PMM's confirmation helps, I suppose. The only thing is that is now up to the OP to keep the children in Canada now.

    principal applicant die

    Looked over CIC's manuals and there isn't any reference in case this happened. I think this is best left to an immigration lawyer. I read about a similar case where the principal applicant died and his wife and children weren't granted PR but he himself hadn't become a PR, he died before he...

    Visitor Visa denied even with invitation letter! help!

    Hi, maybe I'm a bit late in posting but I'm also from Honduras and have been to Canada over a year ago under a visit visa. When I applied for mine, I had an invitation from a friend in Montreal, I had him attach a copy of any document that would prove he is Canadian, I think he attached a copy...

    I Got my Visa Through a CSQ

    Hi, From what I understand, you can "land" anywhere in Canada but since you -have- a CSQ, you must also clear yourself with MICC whose offices are only withing Quebec. If you land in Pierre Trudeau for instance, you go to CIC office and then MICC (someone explained me this was the procedure)...

    Federal Application returned for CSQ Holder

    Pelican, My case was processed in Guatemala (takes 15 months to process according to CIC), I know of another case processed in Vienna that got sent back just like ours (his was processed after it was sent the 2nd time). It seems sometimes CIC doesn't get the whole instructions or bother to read...

    Federal Application returned for CSQ Holder

    Hi, Pelican I apologize since I just noticed your post. My application was processed after I sent the application a 3rd time. I had to write up a cover letter with the procedures for QSW and FSW clearly laid out and the contents of the letter were short from calling them incompetents. I did...
