If they want a cover letter then *ask for* a cover letter. The Government of Canada has spend thousands of man hours and millions of dollars of OUR taxes designing this system. Its completely inexcusable for there to be "unspoken rules" or purposefully misleading directives (although both are...

My advice is, apply from the place you both are willing to be trapped in for the longest amount of time (years) with no chance of leaving for even a visit. [im not saying it always takes years, or that its always impossible to travel, but it's a good way to think about where you want to be when...

When you move you have to update your drivers license address. Ive moved 3 times since my license was last renewed in 2010 and I had to get a little address admendment "stickers" each time with the new address to stick on the back of my card. You should change your address with *everything*...

Just announced new rules of family reunification. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2013/05/10/pol-immigration-family-changes.html

"The family used f -a -k -e passports to fly to Toronto in 1993. Their refugee claims were rejected but, since they were stateless, in 1998 they were allowed to stay under the “deferred removal” program and later became Canadian citizens. But Mr. Jaser was ineligible for the program because...

People immigrate for lots of reasons, not just to escape poverty or political unrest. And I think Canadians, the vast majority of whom are either immigrants or decendants of immigrants do indeed owe sonmething to new immigrants. The system should be fair, just, respectful, and difficult for...

Very true. As a Canadian born and raised in Vancouver, despite years and years of trying, my first full time job was when i moved to Japan (I was 25). Canada has a lot of nepotism in the job industry. It's all about who you know, especially in Vancouver.

Then stop reading them. I stopped reading after this. Americans do not have to go through what most other applicants from non-visa exempt countries do. You could have done everything wrong and you still would have been approved. Im very happy that you found the process easy and painless --...

1) Inland can't appeal. 2) No VO has ever lost his job because his/her decision was overturned on appeal.

You can keep your old passport if you say you lost it.

They also laugh at you if you stop to help an injured child, or don't want poison in your babys milk. Theres a reason so many Chinese are fleeing to Canada.

To get the visitor visa your bf will have to lie and say he is going back to brazil. I think it would be very unlikely he would be granted the visitor visa if he says he is planning to stay and apply for PR. So you may end up getting questioned about that at a later date because they...

Strigent laws wont stop people who are already breaking the law. Maybe what you mean is more strigent punishments? Like locking people up for years for breaking immigration rules? It costs the taxpayer a lot more to jail someone than it does to let them work and contribute and be a part of...

How can i report corruption in the Canadaian government? I know of millions of dollars that is being handed to freinds instead of being tendered? Has the government setup any service where I can report it and it will be investigated? No? WEhy not? We are talking about millions of dollars here...

This sounds like a nonsense. The government can't keep track of their name for 2 years? If so, then they know they applied before.

I would recommend anyone coming to Canada without a job to look in Edmonton or Calgary (both are in Alberta). It is MUCH easier to get a job in those cities, rather than in Toronto. And Vancouver is very difficult to find work as well. I am a Canadian citizen born in Vancouver but even I had to...

Here is an example of a case that won on appeal. You can clearly see the thinking of the VOs is out of step with the thinking of the Judge. http://canlii.ca/en/ca/irb/doc/2011/2011canlii95622/2011canlii95622.html

If this was true then the appeals wouldnt win. But they usually do. What VOs think and what judges think are not on the same wavelength. It creates inefficiencies in the system, and that IS the CICs fault.

They are done for economic reasons, not for love. In fact, its quite common in many cultures, including Canadian culture, for economics to be a big driving force behind marriage. But CIC has this romantic, unrealistic view of marriage that its all about "love", that no one should mind if they...

Arranged marriages including ones with a dowry are legal and also accepted for spousal sponsorship. Canadians have the right to marry anyone they want without the approval of the government. Chosing to marry someone does NOT negate my human rights. Then we should make rules that deal with...
