    Will it change processing office for PR application?

    From my understanding it would remain in Abu Dhabi unless the IO beleives that it should be transferred to Islamabad according to "program integreity" . I suppose it depends how far along your application is at the Abu Dhabi office because in the Operation Manual for PROCEDURES it states: "Visa...

    Can I send police certificate later?

    You can actually wait to submit the PCs and begin the processing of the Sponsor Application at CPC-M. But make sure you include a note to CPC-M that states you have already applied for them and that you will send them to the appropriate visa office upon receiving them. You cannot send the PCs...

    Sponsoring my common-law partner currently with a student visa

    tofuboi - that makes complete sense as IF an interview is required she would have to attend the interview in the USA. perhaps she can look into applying for a multiple entry visa for USA - or you can take comfort that although the inland process is longer, there will be no hassel of leaving the...

    Signature Dates on Forms, etc.

    the only problem you will encounter will be the date on the forms themselves. the signatures on the forms cannot be more than 90 days prior to the date CPC-M or CPC-V receives them. the entire package will be returned to you without any evaluation. as for employer letters or letters from...

    Thread for MARCH 2010 applicants!

    Hi abedelia, This is not true. You will still have access to e-cas (unless they upload your information incorrectly) and CPC-M upon approving your sponsor will even include in e-cas that the application has been forwarded to MICC (the Quebec office that will issue your CSQ).

    Confused about medical...

    I would say its a 50-50 chance - depends how far along they are with reviewing the file. If they are very close to issuing the visa it will most likely be extended - that being said, it really depends on the officer and what they deem necessary. I suggest you email them ...

    marriage question

    1. Requirement remains the same - and if you want to apply for Citizenship its 3 years in Canada within 4 years of the date you apply.

    you can also send an email to the visa office to ask that they confirm receipt of that package/letter/documents... all visa offices have a general email for file inquiries for example Buffalo: buffalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca; for any other office replace the city but still use...
