$100K or minimal income, you get the same treatment - very fair.

From what I understand, there is no guaranteed two week timeframe, the London office (and all others) only go as fast as it takes them. FWIW I doubt you would save much time having someone collect the passport.

My extension application was at Vegreville at the start of Feb 2010. The primary reason for the extension request was to have enough time to get married and visit new family members. As processing is taking a while, I am highly likely to be married, finished visiting and then travelling back...

You are going to deal with someone who may be nice or nasty, but we all do that every day. If you remain calm and tell the truth then you should have no problem. I assume you have a flight ticket that shows your onward flight to Australia, if you are civil to the POE officer you should not have...

Wow, they are now processing 2010 extension applications - 55 days :)

Check your call history, the times are logged. Also use the Skype chat facility when calling, that is saved forever by default.

The lies will end up coming back to bite you. Being apart from the person you want to be with for the rest of your life is a small price to pay. Be honest and then you will have much less to worry about when submitting your PR.

Hmmm, would not respond on my details, I guess that I will have to continue to wait. Congratulations.

General information - Medical in Ottawa. $185 for medical + $45 for x-ray + $11.38 for blood work = $241.38 Take: Spectacles, details of any prescription drugs, Passport, 3 photos, Section A form.

Doesn't make much sense. everything you describe is not that expensive in Canada. Why would you want to attract unnecessary attention? FWIW When flying with Prescription drugs I always keep them in the original boxes, and carry a copy of the original prescription.

Not yet,... wait times are at 60 days. What did I include? Details about why I wanted to stay - (getting married), proof of my job in the UK, proof of meetings that I must attend in the UK, proof of funds to cover my extended stay, a copy of return ticket and a note detailing the cost of...

Tango fares can also be changed, the fee for this is $150 CAN. This link does not show the price. http://www.aircanada.com/en/news/oneway/index_europe.html

As the visa extension process can take quite a while, there may be a situation where the applicant has to leave Canada before the paperwork has been started to be processed. The system allows for this (see below) a refund can be granted, but it raises a few questions. As the applicant will...

Visa extension processing times are currently at 60 days. Certainly seems like they are working hard on the backlog.

To be direct,..... if you (rather than a friend) are having thoughts about this, you must have some doubts. The liability is very real, I would want to be very certain that this is "the one" before signing the agreement. There are plenty of cases where the sponsored partner leaves after...

I think under spousal sponsorship it is three years. There is nothing that you can do to "protect yourself", once signed, you are responsible, no mater what happens.

Buy a return, make sure that the return flight date can be changed - changing a lower priced ticket on Air Canada costs about $150.

You can usually buy travel insurance in your country before you arrive in Canada.

Sell them in the UK, Canada does have furniture for sale :)
