    Definitely outland. Its way quicker. Inland just went from 6 months to 10 months to get stage 1.

    Re-apply

    Judges are much much more accepting of any evidence of genuine relationship. The cases of appeals being dismissed are almost always because there were serious problems with qualifying as a sponsor. Basically, if you cant win on appeal you will never be accepted by reapplying (unless the...

    kids with no staus

    You can still sponsor them even tho they have no status. (assuming they qualify for all the other reasons). If they have visitor visas they should try to extend those and keep their visitor status during the whole process. But even if they dont have it or lose it they will still process the...

    October 2012 Applicants! Here's our thread!

    Since its not possible to get the medicals, he should look at giving custody to the children to her. If he is planning to immigrate and never see the children again then that is probably best to give up all custody anyway.

    Whoever can help me!!

    I guess so. But that was just on one race of people. And our government has since had to apologize several times officially and also pay reparations to the grandchildren of those people. I wonder why the money I have to pay to CIC isnt considered a "head tax"?

    Re-apply

    Appeal is better because it is 99% sure to succeed. They dont deny appeals unless there is a serious unredeemable problem, like for example you are already married to someone else and not divorced and marry a second person and try to sponsor both of them as your spouses. That wont succeed on...

    Whoever can help me!!

    Canada has lots of space, and lots of small towns that are dying because of lack of population. Even our "big" cities are miniscule compared to world standards. Obvious importing a zillion people in a single day would be difficult and cause a bunch of problems. But Canada could certainly allow...

    Whoever can help me!!

    They don't NEED to control it. They currently have a policy of controlling it and using immigration to benefit corporations at the expense of Canadian workers and families. That's a policy that many agree with, but it is not an absolute unquestioned "necessity". My ancestors immigrated to...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

    The idea is good but the wording is not very convicing. Yes all applicants wish processing times were faster, and they should be! But you arent makiing a strong case for exactly why. For one thing, CIC purposefully processes inland applications slowly as a method for encouraging outland...

    Fiance Visa

    There is no such thing as a "fiance visa" in Canada.

    A simple case?

    The wait times are currently more like 8 months and rising. They havent updated their website yet, as it takes CIC months to complete even the most simple basic action.

    Sponsoring illegal Spouse inland Canada

    You can apply regardless of your status, so since you are married its best to just apply now and not wait. At the same time apply for any work permit you qualify for and try to keep your status valid if you can (not sure if that is possible not that it has expired, but if there is anyway to get...

    lost appeal

    lol "fast" and "CIC" never go together. If you say "hi" to a CIC office on the street they stand there like a statue for 3 months before saying "hi" back.
