The letter is Mississauga informing you that your sponsorship was approved and they have sent things to Vienna for them to finish the PR application. Since it's from Mississauga, it only says they have sent off your application, it's not confirmation it has been received. In Mississauga, they do...

In order to remain a PR, the person has to live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years. And there's nothing to say you have to stay in Canada after landing. In fact, as a PR you're free to leave the country whenever you want, so it's no problem if you leave the day after landing. The only...

Ah, I see. I really just glanced over it. I just assumed that a page on a Canadian site would give instructions on how to apply for a visa for Canada ::) Hmmm, this? http://www.visabureau.com/canada/working-holiday-visa-for-canada.aspx And this...

The immigration photos (the ones similar to passport photos) need to only be provided for the applicant. The sponsor doesn't need to get them. How many you need is listed in the region specific guides - for London, you need 8 photos. The specifications are clear enough and those photos should...

I'm surprised you didn't know about the working holiday visa. Especially since your girlfriend got one. Here's more info: http://www.international.gc.ca/iyp-pij/description.aspx Yes, in most cases you can get everything yourself. Most people do their application on their own. If you don't want...

I was just looking for a post about conjugal relationships on another forum when I came across this one: Sorry about the language and tone, but you can see there that the difference in education did play a factor. I seriously doubt it was a main factor, but looks like it was a contributing...

The applications are sent via diplomatic post, so it's very unlikely that an application would get lost. I guess it's possible it arrived in Buffalo and somebody misplaced it or it could've accidentally be mailed somewhere else. A number of possibilities. I'd give them a couple more weeks and...

No, it shouldn't make a difference. The only time court things are an issue is if there are criminal charges against the person applying.

Global visas? That sounds familiar. See here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t32471.0.html If that's the same company, then I would stay as far away from them as possible. Look, if you ask me, you are conjugal partners and you should be able to get the visa as...

I would suggest you wait until you've lived together for 1 year and apply as common-law. You can start preparing everything now, get your police certificates and medical in August or September and the day after you've lived together for a year, have the application sent off. If you're lucky, you...

It's still possible something could go wrong (the possibility is not big enough to worry about it), but yeah, if London asked for his passport, then they intend to give him his visa. Congratulations! :)

I think I just answered this on another forum >_> With very few exceptions, the visa expires either when: a) the medical expires (1 year after it's taken) or b) when the passport it is in expires Whichever comes first. So if your medical is valid until Dec 7th, but the passport expires on...

Haha! There are some men on this forum who did a mighty fine job of their applications and might be offended by that insinuation ;) But yeah, it's usually the woman. Except when her English is not that good xD I didn't fill out my husband's part of the application, but he did have to fill it...

Yes, a job offer would be great. Owning a house in Canada would also be a big plus. People also include letter from family/friends who know they intend to relocate. It's not uncommon to stay with relatives until you can find your own place in Canada, so if anyone will be helping you with that...

No, this will not affect the PR application whether it is approved or rejected, so feel free to apply. The fees are not that great and you might get it :) When applying, be sure to show everything that your parents have to return to - evidence of their jobs, property owned/rented,... Having a...

You say you're a Canadian resident. Does that mean you're a permanent resident or a citizen? I ask because as a citizen, you would be able to sponsor your fiance and her child (either as a common-law partner if you have lived together for 1 year or as your wife after you marry) while you're...

In theory, you should be able to apply as conjugal partners, because you are conjugal partners. However, conjugal partners is a tricky category, because not every immigration officer handles it the same way. The category was originally intended for people who can not live together long enough...

If you "forget" to mention something like that, it's misrepresentation. Whether it was intentional or not. That's why you have to be really careful when filling out the forms. You can always try appealing, but I'm not sure if it would work in your case.

The forms can also be filled out on the computer and printed already filled out. That way they can't know who filled them out ;)

You can apply for an extension because you are not extending the visa, you are extending your status as a visitor. Upon entry, people from visa exempt countries are given the same status as anyone with a temporary visa - they are a visitor and that status can be extended. See here...
