    VO has not replied to email, what should I do?

    It is normal for VO's to not respond to emails, especially if you are still within the normal processing period which you may or may not be. Maybe somebody with experience with Vienna can provide their experience. You should order CAIPS notes. They may not tell you much but at least you can...

    PGWP and common-law PR application

    How long was your degree program? A PGWP is generally for 3 years or for as long as the program if the program was less than 2 years. The PGWP is non-extendable but if it expires and you have filed an inland application with a OWP application before expiration you will have implied status...

    HELP children not added to the app are they.....

    If the husband has a good enough relationship with the mother and the children that the children would actually come visit him in Canada then he should add them to the application as non-accompanying dependent and have them get medicals. This way he retains the right to sponsor them in the...

    Request for passport biopage COPY and correct....WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

    Generally, the expiration date for landing is one year after the date of the medical. I think you said the medical has been redone recently.

    Request for passport biopage COPY and correct....WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

    Isn't this your "passport request"? They stopped issuing PR visas for applicants from visa-exempt countries since they do not need a visa to enter Canada. Now they do not request your passport but a copy. I see from the link below that the op bulletin says they want every page but Seoul may...

    sponsoring my gf

    When a person is arrested, they are photographed and fingerprinted. If the charge is withdrawn and settled by way of a peace bond the fingerprints are still kept on file. When the conditions of the peace bond are satisfied you can get the mug shot and fingerprints destroyed. They will not be...

    Question about having a formal ceremony

    We just said that we did not have a formal ceremony because everyone knew about our relationship and there was no reason to have a formal ceremony. We did not consider it because in Canada it is not normal to have a formal ceremony to start a common-law relationship. We also added that we went...

    Sponsoring my wife from Korea

    I am pretty sure our Family Relation Certificate and Old Family Census Register, among other things, were received in January or February but we did not file until September. I can remember thinking about whether they were "recent" enough but filed as they were. They were not difficult to get...

    confused about Quebec, conjugal partner or de facto spouse

    "de facto" is latin. Australia and New Zealand also use the term de facto to describe a common-law relationship. I agree with the other poster in that this is a proper translation under the Quebec legal system.

    My husbands immigration case got rejected

    As a PR you cannot sponsor your husband if you do not live in Canada. To sponsor you husband you must move back to Canada and live here and do a new application and actually remain living in Canada. I'm interested to know how you originally got PR within a one month timeline.

    Amount of money most be reported to border customs

    "The answer of your question is maximum 20000 CAD for 2 adults." If two adults bring in $20,000 ($10,000 each) they are required to report it. The answer is really a maximum of $19,998 (rounding to nearest $). Carrying the extra $2 could mean leaving the airport with nothing versus leaving...

    Response from MP.........

    The response will vary from MP to MP. Note that the response is carefully worded "...XXXX office does not make enquiries..." Some MP's who have high levels of immigrants in their ridings set limits because otherwise they will just be overwhelmed (not just with PR requests but they are also...

    Will my husband be able to add me to his Bank Account?

    Banks willingness to do this will often depend on how good a customer your husband is. Is his credit good? Has he been a long time loyal customer? Does he have banks accounts, investment accounts, credit cards etc with BMO?

    Apply for Credit Card on Impled Status?

    To get back to the OP's issue, I read it as he has provided a SIN and the CIBC just wants confirmation, so I do not see why he cannot provide a copy of the expired SIN card. The last poster was correct in that completing a credit card application is not an allowable reason for requesting a...

    Apply for Credit Card on Impled Status?

    Providing the SIN to the bank is optional, not mandatory. You can tell them that, but they know that very well. The only bodies which request your SIN are the Government of Canada agencies, like CRA. Banks and such institutions are required by law to request your SIN as they require it for...
