    Spousal sponsorship

    Don't take my word as gospel but I believe there's a period of time that constitutes a reasonable visit. However , realistically, your application is already submitted so I wouldn't sweat it too much. Worse case scenario is that they would ask you to prove you intend to settle back in Canada...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Hi, I have a fairly simple question, but after searching couldnt come up with a reasonable answer: My partner immigrated in 2013 (Conjugal) and now we feel ready to sponsor his 2 dependent kids from the Philippines. Must I do two separate applications, or can I add one onto the others?

    Usually case specific inquiry or email. There are a few email addresses floating around this thread that will get to them. Your MP in Canada is able to phone them.

    Hi, If you included an email address, that is the way they will contact her. Make sure it's correct and the account is checked frequently. The only time they would send something to you is when the Visa is ready. Others in the past have put in a special request to pick up their visa at the...

    Go to the Canadian Embassy when you arrive in Manila to get this paper. Takes about an hour and cost about $50. If you have any previous divorces you should bring the documentation:

It's either that or get the Advisory On Marriage which involves requesting a CENOMAR once you're married and that's the resulting paper you get. The document checklist requires one...

    Moose is all over the hockey. He was cheering loudly when Canada beat the US. He knows all the players and even asked me who Crosby is because his face is everywhere so he must be really famous. However I couldn't get him to wake up for the 4am final game :(

    YES, they can. They have a big red phone!! Joking.. but yeah, they can communicate directly with them. Not sure by phone or email but based on previous people's accounts of interactions with their MP it seems certain they can do this. How about our hockey teams, EH?
