    Status maintain

    Incorrect. CIC states they will still proces the application even if if the person is out of status. That does not mean the person automaticall has status or isn't illegal. CIC doesn't seem to care. But CBSA does indeed care and they can deport anyone who is out of status, including people who...

    Need a crucial clarification

    Check out the wait times: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp For Inland, current wait times are 7 mo (for AIP and work/study visa) + 8 mo (+ 51 days to received the PR card and get SIN card) = almost 17 months For Outland from Beruit its 1 mo + 23 months = 2 years. So...

    help!!!!!!!!!! sponsorship denied

    If you only have one conviction of a less serious nature, after a prescribed period of ten (10) years has passed since the completion of any imposed sentence (and there have been no other convictions that affect your admissibility) you will be deemed to be rehabilitated pursuant to R18(2) of...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    Actually, what I want is for loving genuine couples to be able to marry and live as they wish without the nanny state overseeing every aspect of there lives for half a decade. As a Canadian, having these conditions put on me by my own government is offensive, especially since these restrictions...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    The wording of condition 51 is purposefully vague. This gives the CIC total control to use it in any way they wish without any regard for standards or fareness. The wording says you must live together with your spouse in a conjugal relationship for 2 years. This wording could be used to go after...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    Condition 51 is a draconian measure that severely limits the freedom of the PR. Previously, a PR could land, and then immediately return to their home country to finish their education, or wrap of affairs as long as they stayed within the very generous "2 out of every 5 years" rule. With...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    You disagree with every single thing the newbie has been saying... and then write: You really have lost track of the positions in this argument. She has openly stated she should not be responsible if her husband leaves her. Sure, heres the article about the grandma. Who was approved. And...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    I dont need you to tell me which opinions i am entitled to. You have zero say in my rights. In the case of marriage fraud, both partners should be punished. Treating the person who sponsored as a "vicitim" is ridiculous and sexist. They are an accessory to the fraud. And as far as whats...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    Meeting on the internet and marrying after the first date is not part of anyones culture. But maybe i'm just an old fashioned romantic. I have a problem with someone sponsoring someone to come to Canada, agreeing to pay their welfare - no matter what - for 3 years and then weasling out of it...

    many questions need lots of answers

    Conjugal partners who are not legally barred from getting married tend to have a high rejection rate. Some people have managed to do it, but you will have better chances if you do common-law or marriage. Conjugal is generally recommended only for people who legally CAN NOT marry, not people who...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    She lied to get him deported. Yes there is a 2 year provision now, it is called condition 51 and theres no evidence yet it has solved anything. Magical thinking? If they had a fool proof way then there wouldn't be a problem. The reality is, there is no test they can apply that can prove if you...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    Theres a lot of cases of women who get scammed after marrying African or South American men, and they turn around and start protesting the government. When they first apply for a spousal visa its all "why is this taking so long? why do they doubt us? why do they ask for so much proof??" then 3...

    Refugee claim acceptance in Canada appears to be ‘luck of the draw’

    "Under the new system, the lowest acceptance rates came from Stéphane Morin, in Montreal, at 16% of 50 cases, and Brenda Lloyd, in Toronto, who accepted 20.5% of 73 cases. The highest acceptance rates came from Christopher Marcinkiewicz, in Toronto, who accepted 89.4% of 85 cases, and Maria...

    has anyone been successful sponsoring a younger husband from a different culture

    Another question i wish they would ask at the interview: "when this guy leaves you after he gets his PR are you going to go running to the government complaining they didn't protect you enough from your own stupidty and try to weasle out of your responsibilities as sponsor?" I hope your...

    Marriage Fraud Investigation

    The difference is, that marriage is totally legally abd binding even if the woman says directly she married the man only for his money. The difference is, that couple didnt have to open their entire lives up to scrunity by the government. All they had to do was get a marriage certificate and...

    Marriage Fraud Investigation

    Because of idiots like you, CIC introduced condition 51 on honest couples. You have personally made the lives of thousands of honest hardowrking Canadians and their spouses more dificult and restricted their freedom, thru nothing but your own stupididy. You say you believe in karma, (i dont) but...

    Questions and concerns: Applying for open work permit with Inland application.

    Re: Questions about applying for open work permit with Inland application. If you include your OWP with your PR app it will be considered when you get to stage 2 AIP, which at current processing rates is 7 months. However, you are considered to have "implied status" during that time so you...

    I made half a dozen points and you only responded to one. I guess you agree with the other points and have changed your view. Well done.

    CHC High Commission of Depression & Mental Disorder

    Ridiculous. By that logic they could make everyone wait 10 years. Or 20 years. Or 100 years. Canadian citizens have the right to marry whoever they wish. While it may be necessary to put some restrictions on who is given a PR (criminals, cases of fraud, etc) they should only be denied if they...

    previous CL relationship, different law in my country, what answer should I give

    The forms do ask if you have been in a previous common-law relationship, which does mean 1 year living together. A Canadian PR or citizen, and a polish citizen, who live together in Poland for 1 year could totally apply for spousal sponsorship under CL. Polish laws (and Canadian provincial laws)...
