Medicals are never extended, 1 year validity, period.

Can you ask him to borrow some money from his parents and show in his bank account? Also, I agree that he should get a letter from his employer for just a few week off vs. 6 months off! This shows he has prospects of employment up on return to states. Ask him to be super nice to the officer and...

I don't mean to confront or discredit you, however I'd like to see the UCC statue or code that states post dating is illegal or makes a check bad. AFAIK and done research on this, it's pure myth, one that even highly experienced bankers sometimes swear by. If it was the case, all check cashing...

I think he doesn't have too bad a chance. My wife had been to Canada several times on a Multiple Entry Visitor Visa before we applied for PR. The last time she entered Canada (after sending the PR but before file transfer to her local VO) the IO even asked us if we had applied for PR for her and...

There is certainly nothing illegal about post dating checks in US. The UCC does allow for post dating, however, it also allows banks to pay checks regardless if the check is dated in the future so long as the check is good otherwise. It is illegal in certain states to write a check above a...

Ok, I don't think you understand what I'm saying at all. No body talked about buying beyond your means or whatever, that's obviously stupid. It's alright, to each his own. Whatever works for you.

I'm not judging you at all. I'm very happy to hear that you're very successful but paying cash for everything is not as smart a move as you might think. It just means you don't know how to make your credit work for you. Credit Cards provide you with a lot of security (not carrying large amounts...

No disrespect, but lol, getting advice from a random sel-proclaimed 'good with money' stranger on an online immigration forum must be a classic. ;)

They generally won't give you trouble on your return for not having entry/exit stamps from the previous country. The reasons are well explained by Sweden. As stated, just make sure you have both if/when asked about it.

There is no exit control in Canada so you can use any passport you wish. When you return, you will have to enter with your PR and passport associated to that one.

Sponsor doesn't need to be present. In fact I doubt they let the sponsor in the interview room. However, I assume if you can go it will definitely count as 'relationship evidence' and a strong one in the eyes of the VO that you were willing to travel back for this. When interviews are called...

It's an addiction. When you go through the painful proccess of separation, anxiously checking eCAS everyday/night and the relevant forum thread for your application time and processing VO, you bound in a way. :D

I understand your point and making a counter point that everyone has a RIGHT to choose. You can plead and beg, but the reality is everyone has as much a right as the next person to go through this process as fast as they are legally allowed. For someone who voices his/her opinion quite openly...

That's awesome! This message should be framed and hung on every VO's wall around the world to encourage VOs to act smart and vigilant but with compassion and due diligence. Hope you two make a great life together. My wife will also soon be coming over. In fact if I had not already booked my...

Is this thread a joke?! Certainly sounds like one. As long as everyone follows CIC's rules, it's absolutely no one's business which path anyone chooses! Further, do you really think if a few hundred people (at most) get convinced to go inland, it would actually make a dent in CIC wait times...

Having just gone through the pain of separation from my wife and just finishing the 7 months long roller coaster ride of FAM Sponsorship at Beijing VO, I must say I feel truly sorry to hear this... It's so sad when honest and scrupulous citizens get caught up in the bureaucracy because some...

Wife's COPR and Passport with IM-1 Visa inside just showed up at my door today! Yup, even though we applied through Beijing and her residential address and Chinese address labels they had requested all pointed to her China address they actually DHLed the package to my Canada address. No big...

And PPT is finally back with visa inside! The strange thing is, they actually sent it along with COPR in a DHL pack to my home address in Canada, which was my wife's mailing address! :o Just a heads up to others to watch for this and yes, we had supplied mailing labels in Chinese and set her...

Marriage License and Marriage Certificate are two totally different things, at least here in Ontario! You will need to obtain a Marriage License from your local municipal office first and foremost. This can be done by filling out the forms that can be presented to the licensing office by either...
