Good luck to you!

Here is our update: Buffalo received our application and began processing it on June 11, 2010. Our medicals have also been received.

I included about 100 photos or so of us with friends and family, on trips, holidays etc. Just a couple of shots of each event. Joint lease joint bank account proof of beneficiary -life insurance and health and dental evidence of joint travel and other activities (concert tickets etc)...

Oh that's great. So we don't all have to look it up ourselves, will you please post a link to the relevant IRPA provision and/or regulation where you found this information?

The best way to find a lawyer is to get referred to one either from someone you personally know who used that lawyer or a referral from another lawyer or someone whose judgment you trust who is familiar with the lawyer's work. Most lawyers have a list of lawyers outside their practice area whom...

You don't ever acquire rights to "common assets;" at least not in any of the jurisdictions I've practiced law in. There has been Supreme Court jurisprudence very clearly stating that there's no right to a division of net family property outside of marriage -if the parties want those benefits...

Correct. No one's being removed to Iraq right now and this has been the case for some time. Saskatoon Tree, I feel like I say the same thing to you in every thread, but this is a serious interview and it would be really great if your partner talked to a lawyer first to make sure his...

You can never be certain of anything in life, you just need to take the risk. I remember being terrified when I left my ex for my current (and true) love. It was a terrible unloving relationship but I had financial stability, many friends and a family whom I loved in my in-laws. I lost all of...

Niger-wives but no Niger-husbands? How sexist!

This obviously isn't a literal translation but the gist is the same: De los escarmentados salen los avisados.

A lawyer you visit to ask for legal advice cannot and will not report him. Lawyers are obligated to maintain client confidentiality and to not act against their clients' interests. Once you visit a lawyer and obtain legal advice you have entered into what is called a "solicitor-client...

He cannot be deported to Iraq right now. Canada has a temporary suspension on removals to that country.

Yay Nej!

Unless he has a genuine fear of persecution he should not file a refugee claim because to do so would be fraudulent. Refugee claims are not a "get into Canada for free card," they are intended to protect persons who face real risk in their countries of origin. You mentioned that you can't...

I already posted about this in the April 2010 thread but I want to post about it here too so Buffalo folks who aren't looking in April can see the timeline. I was approved as a sponsor and my file was transferred to Buffalo May 17, 2010. I'm so happy -I was fully prepared to wait the full 2...

I think when this lawyer gave you the example of a couple from Iran it was because she or he was trying to stress just how exceptional the circumstances must generally be for this category to be accepted. In Iran gay couples risk death. Another example would be persons who cannot be together...

We received a letter in the mail today dated May 17, 2010. I have been approved as a sponsor and our application is being forwarded to the case processing centre in Buffalo!!! Yay!

I agree about being honest. It will come out eventually as your wife must disclose her siblings' names and addresses on the Additional Family Information form and this kind of information will be extremely damaging if it appears that you were trying to hide it.

Hi there! CIC Mississauga received our application April 14, 2010. Me: Sponsor, Canadian Him: Applicant, Mexican, but living in Canada as a TFW since 2008. We're applying as common law partners. We have lived together for one year, we're similar ages and both professionals, the only thing is...
