The next time you try to cross for a visit you have to show that your circumstances are no longer the same as they were the last time you tried to enter. As you said, you do this by showing a job, apartment lease, and other ties that will bring you back to the US after your visit. That should...

The child would need to fill out both of these forms AND your girlfriend has to revise her IMM 0008 and her own Additional Family Information form. She will be very, VERY lucky if they allow her to do this. She's misrepresented herself on her application. "No time or money" is NOT a good...

Understatement of the century so far!!! What a mess! They are in boxes in hallways and empty rooms. Sigh. CIC does promise to have them processed by summer though but we will see.

It is NOT a TRP. Your child is NOT inadmissible to Canada. It's another TRV application. You can request consideration of H&C grounds in a TRV. Only pay the TRV fee.

No, he is just named on the AINP certificate. That doesn't mean he's "accompanying". The other poster was correct. You include him on the application for PR, but list him as non-accompanying on the IMM 0008. You will still have to submit a copy of his birth certificate and photos with the...

The law is often heartless. And given the current global economic situation and all of the rights and freedoms as well as social programs enjoyed in Canada, it will be a long time before Canada is NOT number 1 as a destination country. These things happen in the USA, UK, Australia, NZ, and just...

I do this work for a living. I've sat through many conferences/presentations from managers at CIC where they talk about file organization. There was one specifically with the Program Manager from Mississauga where she told us about spousa sponsorship applications that come in boxes and how...

No the child would be visa exempt if they had a US passport. They would enter Canada as a visitor like every US citizen.

Re: Organizing your application Yes. BC_guy is right. All the envelopes, folder, separate clips, etc. are IMMEDIATELY removed and the file is reorganized in Mississauga or Vegreville (wherever the application is being processed). However, I disagree with the cling film/wrap to hold it all...

Actually, if applying via the In Canada Class the answer is YES as long as an Open Work Permit application is included WITH the sponsorship and PR application package and the fees are paid. It's not an extension. It's an Application for a CHANGE of Conditions. It keeps him on implied status...

Bottom line: If both you and your wife are PRs and the child is born outside of Canada, one of you will have to sponsor the child to become a PR of Canada. And that person must reside in Canada while the sponsorship is ongoing. For the child to travel to Canada before sponsorship is...

I know the message was harshly put. But the essence of it is the truth. That's WHY the Undertaking is there in the first place. A sponsor agrees to provide for the support of the sponsored person for the first 3 years they are in Canada. Full stop. If you sign the agreement, you pay. That's...

Manila has now taken over processing of spousal sponsorships from Japan (2012) and South Korea (2013). However, they have not increased their staff. More work means more time needed.

There's a group called IMEDA the does Canadian immigration related seminars for lawyers and consultants. However, you don't have to be a lawyer or a consultant to go to one of their seminars or buy a recording. I saw this on their website, a recording of a seminar on Spousal sponsorships...

It's called "officer's discretion". They have choice. :)

Having a work permit through the WHV program (now IEC) means that you had status as a worker. It's obvious from posters with experience that Alberta seems to act arbitrarily. That makes me angry. Here's why. I had a case. I had a client who had been in Canada for almost 7 years. 4 years...

The definition of common-law partner in IRPR states that the couple must be LIVING together for 12 consecutive months in a conjugal relationship to be considered common-law. This couple has not lived together. How is that unclear? In my earlier post I stated that if he moved to Canada to be...

Boxed? How much are you sending??

Actually, it is true that it ends when you leave Canada. The fact that they have information in the system does not mean that it is still valid. They use that information to decide whether or not to let you in again. Expiry date is written on the record. If all you have is a stamp in your...

When all else fails, read the instructions. You send the application to Mississauga. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#3900E6
