The guide says you cannot sponsor "If you are in default of support payment obligations You were ordered by a court to make support payments to a spouse or child and have neglected to do so. You may not sponsor until you resolve the family support matter." If you are making payments...

The inland PR application was submitted in November 2014 before the OWP pilot program was in effect. According to the instructions at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/updates/2014/2014-12-22.asp [i]Effective December 22, 2014, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will...

I guess there are two sides to every story but from the OP's point of view I would be hesitant to contact CIC until the divorce is finalized. Otherwise the spouse, in order to maintain PR, could make abuse and neglect accusations in the divorce proceedings. If the divorce goes through without...

http://www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign_workers/reform/imp.shtml "International Experience Canada (IEC) International Experience Canada consists of 32 agreements with partner countries that allow young Canadians to live and work abroad for up to two years without meeting labour market or many of...

"Family Members" is defined as a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children.

We did the same mistake and did not even realize it until long after getting PR when I was reading the forum. I think it's a non-issue. If you are filing common-law then you are likely providing a 6" stack of paper that shows the dates you lived together so the officer is going to well aware...

A person with a job offer and LMIA can flagpole to get a closed work permit. This is not related to spousal sponsorship and it seems a lot of details are missing from the other posts.

A sponsor can have a criminal record, however they are not eligible if they were convicted of an offence of a sexual nature, a violent criminal offence, an offence against a relative that results in bodily harm or an attempt or threat to commit any such offences—depending on circumstances such...

Isn't it just a letter stating period of employment, salary and hours? Employers issue these all the time for people getting mortgages, loans etc. Unless it's a really small company this is generally standard procedure for an HR dept. You should not need to provide any explanation as to...

Has anyone had experience importing raw gold? My spouse will receive some gold from her mother in Korea to bring to Canada. She is a PR now so it is not on landing. The gold is not a coin, bar/wafer and I do not think it can be considered jewellery. It is more just like a button shaped lump...

I think the question of age goes to whether or not she could get an IEC visa. The poster asked how she could come to Canada and this would allow her to come to Canada and stay (and work) for an extended period to qualify for common-law.

When asking a health care question you should state what province you are living in. Each province has different rules. In Alberta you may be able to get an extension and can get health care on a "positive first decision" which I assume means approval in principle. I suggest you look up the...

I believe children with a Korean parent are one of the groups that will be able to have dual citizenship. Also foreign spouses of Korean Nationals can acquire Korean citizenship and retain their own citizenship.

I do not want to jump ahead too far for some people, but I am curiouse as to what your spouses think of obtaining Canadian citizenship since Korea only allows dual citizenship in very limited cases. My spouse is eligible right around now, but it doesn't really seem like an option at this time.

You have implied status as you filed a request for change of status before your WHV expired (I assume that's what "W&H" means). I do not think the 30 day thing is a requirement, only a recommendation. We certainly ignored it with no problems. The only times to flagpole that I am aware of is...

It seems to me there was a similar post a few months ago. Additional information on the plans to move to Canada was requested as the VO felt that, although the relationship was geniune, the spouse was not really interested in establishing a life in Canada but was getting PR for the convenience...

If you are a factual resident of Canada you can file a tax return using your ITN. If you are filing inland then you probably could be a factual resident. One of the purposes of the ITN is to allow people, who do not qualify for a SIN, to file tax returns. The advantages of this will depend on...

I thought all outland medicals go to Ottawa now. Maybe somebody could confirm that. My experience is becoming too dated and things have changed since we went through it.

If you have a written agreement you do not need to be living together for 3 years. From what I see it is 3 years or having a child from the relationship or a written agreement.

Normally you would do the medical up front and file the receipt with the application. The Physician would send the medical results to Ottawa. You would only get the receipt. In your case, you should send the receipt as proof of medical to Ottawa and they should match it up with the medical...
