It should not be a problem. People on the forum have done it before with no issues. Also include a cover letter explaining the error, and that you have corrected it.

Unfortunate situation. In my experience, it is always better to obtain a renewal of your status in your country of residence than overseas/home country. Had you done this while in the US (before your trip), you would not need to show "strong ties" to your home country, which is difficult to do...

Awesome! Congrats! And thanks for sharing the update.

Fill up the form that needs correction.

Right now, it's taking 62 days for assessment of sponsor. CIC is working on applications received Sep 2nd. You may want to send a case specific inquiry to CPC-Mississauga but I don't know the email address. Do you have a Client ID number? It's the 8 digit number found on a work or study permit...

If you can't find her diploma from the College, can you ask the College for an attestation that she graduated, the year, program, length of program? I think that, plus a letter from her university attesting that she's a student, program of study, etc should suffice.

Check the "appeals" thread - people have posted questions they were asked. It might help you get an idea. Also, you may want to order your husband's GCMS notes to see the officer's reasons for requesting an interview. It costs $5 and takes 30 days to receive them. How to request notes...

Ofcourse we all know that CBSA makes the final determination at the port of entry but that`s not what being discussed though.

The only way to know if there is a chance is to try again, right? You have nothing to lose at this point. From what I have read on the forum, your MP (member of parliament) can send inquiries to CIC on your behalf and CIC is required to respond within a specific time period (few days I think)...

Sounds like you have never applied for a TRV before. Visa exempt applicants (e.g. US citizens) have the possibility of receiving a Visitor Record at the border. Though not common, it happens sometimes if the border officer has concerns about possible overstay, etc. Here...

As you pursue appeal, also consider sending the visa office an email through the case specific inquiry form and ask for for re-consideration. The circumstances were beyond your father's control and you informed CIC of same at the time. Gather all the information/evidence you had sent to CIC at...

To clarify about visitor visas: Applicants who need a visa to visit Canada get a temporary resident visa(TRV) with status being "visitor". This visa serves as both their status document and also enables them to travel. If they wish to stay beyond the expiration date, they must apply for an...

According to the guide for outland sponsorship, here's CIC's definition of "family member": http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3999Etoc.asp Family members Your family members include your spouse or common-law partner, your dependent children and any children that are...

FYI... I`ve had 3 immigration applications done by the same lawyer, who by the way was once the Chair of the Immigration Law section of the Bar Association in my province. The forms were completed as I described above and we had no problems. So I don`t believe she is wrong and the many...

The previous poster makes a good point. If she`s on a visitor record(sometimes given to visa-exempt applicants like US, UK citizens), she can stay legally for up to 6 months at a time. She can leave after that and re-enter and it resets the 6 months again, or apply for an extension. If she`s...

Wrong. If being denied a visa was the same as being denied admission for all applicants, there would be no reason to separate 6d and 6e. Some applicants don`t need to apply for visas to enter Canada (e.g. UK, US citizens). They just come to the border and seek entry. If they are turned away at...

People with work permits can not sponsor spouses/dependent children. Only permanent residents and Citizens can. It seems what you mean is that you invited her to Canada and she was able to get a visitor visa/record. If this is correct, she is free to stay in Canada as long as she renews her...

6d = yes (because he was denied a UK student visa, which a type of temporary resident visa) 6e = no (this applies if you arrive at the border and they deny you entry, or you are given a departure order or deportation order). If this has never happened to him, then it's 'No'.

Yes, it can be considered misrepresentation and punishable by a 5-year ban from Canada. Send an email to the office handling the file notifying them of the error and that you will be sending a corrected form. Fill the form again, sign and mail it.

Ofcourse, you were convicted and it's the reason you were given a fine. The fine is your sentence - this is how CIC views it.
