    CIC say they will be accepting more spouses. Let's see

    Having read what it says in the actual plan versus the news release, I think that they have forecast that there will be more family sponsorship applications therefore they estimate more people will be admitted. I don't think it means they will be admitting a relatively higher percentage of...

    How long until you're in the system online?

    I would guess it depends where you send it. If you sent Mississauga, it will not show up until you have reached the "processing applications received up to" date shown on the CIC page for checking application processing times. Based on my experience in September, you have about 28 days to go...

    applying for student permit while waiting for permanent residence approval?

    She can apply. Do a search on "dual intent" which essentially means that applying for permanent residence cannot be used by an IO as a basis for rejecting a temporary visitor, study or work permit. The IO is supposed to assess if her intent is to stay in Canada even if the PR application is...

    Disclosure of work history (without permit) in application

    Has anyone had any practical (or anecdotal) experience in what repercussions a person faces when they disclose in the application a period where they worked without a permit. Simplied facts are that for about six months the person being sponsored worked illegally on visitor status until such...

    Paying when is the earliest you can?

    There is a warning in the Sponsors guide (page 25) that not paying your Right of PR fee when the application is filed will result in a minimum addtional 2 month delay in finalizing the application. If you pay it on-line you have the receipt and the transaction going through your credit card...

    common law application - need opinions

    The processing times for Rome are 30% of applications finalized within 5 months to 80% within 12 months. Your application is not outside of normal processing periods so it is best just to be patient instead of comparing yourself to others and speculating the worst. I know that is easier to say...

    Common Law Financial Responsibility and Being a Student

    You do not mention the children. How are they being provided for now? If you are just sponsoring a spouse with no dependents then isn't the obligation 3 years and there is no financial evaluation?
