Thanks for the reply scylla. We're in Ontario.

Hi Bs65, Can you clarify this part of your reply: "Also as a visitor generally recommended to stay out of Canada for similar amount of time as spent in Canada. " Never heard of this so was curious, as we had visitors that stayed 6 months and didn't know they would have to stay away for 6 months...

Hi All, not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, so if I'm in the wrong place, or if there is a better thread to post this to, would you mind letting me know? Thanks. Anyway, we had a question regarding an American married to a Canadian: Does an American married to a Canadian get...

Hi everyone, Was wondering if anyone can recommend a good place that does the photos that we need to submit with our application? Obviously I'm not from Canada and since always got my photo for various applications/documents done at home so not sure where to go in Canada (specifically...

Hi Toby, Thanks for the reply. I was talking specifically about the 1095 days rule. I was hoping someone with expert knowledge would help us all and tell how this really works. I think there has got to be a way that the government keeps track of comings and goings otherwise how would they...

Hi All, as I'm accumulating days in Canada I realized that often when I crossed the border no one stamped my passport, not by land or air, so while I keep track of my time outside of Canada I would like to confirm the dates that the authorities have with the dates that I have (after all I might...

Hi Swede, thanks for the reply. I haven't tried the CIC hotline yet, are they willing to go through specific questions with people? 'cause sometimes people need to make sure they are filling the information the right way...wouldn't want the application to get back to you after it sat at...

Thanks for the reply. So you suggest ignoring the question? since the person lives at his/hers home country, country of citizenship and the address given at the previous question is the only address for them? so do I leave it blank? or do I put Not Applicable? (there was a warning at the...

Hi All, Awhile back someone mentioned that there are organizations that can help us fill the forms, make sure we're filling them right etc., I asked for more details but didn't get any so I was wondering if anyone knows of organizations (maybe legal volunteers?...) that can help with the...

Hi AMB, Thanks for your reply. How do you suggest we can find out more about those organiztions you mentioned that help with the forms for free (and do those have people that know how to correctly and legally fill those forms)? becasue I read through the guide that you included the link here...

Hi Accreddy, thanks for the quick reply. If you don't mind I'll reply to your answers with 2 more questions :o) 1) so since working for a canadian company will not deduct time from physical presence, how do I then deal with it when submitting the application? is there something in writing that...

Hi Rasha, It is interesting that for our own application we proved we can support ourselves by showing how much we will bring in with us, but for a sponsorship of parents that cannot be used to substantiate ability to suport them. The tax part is tricky only in the sense that Tax submissions...

Thanks Leon. Kelly :o)

Hi Leon, Thanks for the quick reply. So if I only worked 10 months out of the last 12 months it might not satisfy the requirement or it might indeed meet the requirement (depending on my annual salary), but if we submit our tax papers those might show only part of the amount (since at tax time I...

Hi All, I was wondering a couple of things about calculating time away from canada: 1) how is time away from canda calculated when one travels to the USA for work for a canadian company? meaning, a canadian company sends you to the US for a few days, does this then get deducted from your time...
