    Question about "travel documents"

    In the application, Q#14 asks if I've held travel documents. I have visited a few countries in the last 5 years that have given me travel/tourist visas by way of stamp or sticker. Do these count as "travel documents" and should I state them? I ask because these countries are listed in physical...

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    I see. Thanks! We even called CIC today and they said the same thing, as long as the TRV is not expired and she has a valid permit of some sort (in this case, OWP), she should be able to come in. We will also have our 21 month old baby in tow so hopefully we won't be too inconvenienced :(

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    Sorry, no more visitor record. Now, she has a Work Permit expiring in 2018. She received this Work Permit while waiting for our Spousal sponsorship to process. And yes, MEV (Visitor) expiring in 2018. So she can come back into Canada showing her MEV (Visitor) even though now her status is that...

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    Hey guys, Just adding to this. So now she has a work permit, and a multiple re-entry visitor visa. However, her visitor status expired in Oct 2016. After looking around, lawyer said she can't leave the country and return showing the multiple re-entry visitor visa. She will now need to apply for...

    Been in Canada for 3 yrs, but form shows I've been absent for 1428 days?

    Wow, you're right. I was looking at the old version of the checklist!! So that means all I would need is the copy of the passport (and not all pages) and that's all I would need? Or do I include the proofs of residence as well? For some reason, everything seems to have gotten updated and now I...

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    Oh one more thing to add: While visitor status document says expiration is October 6, 2016. Her visitor visa (multiple re-entry, stuck to passport) expires in September 02 2018. This should make it fine for her to leave for the holidays, right? And by that time, she will have her work permit...

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    Ah, I see.. thanks. Thanks Ponga! Her visitor visa is expiring next month. So we were thinking once we have the work permit in hand, we can apply to renew her visitor visa to leave around the holidays. Except the work permit may take another 2-3 weeks.

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    Thanks guys! She's from the Philippines. Wouldn't the work permit mean she can leave and re-enter as needed?

    Work permit that comes with Sponsorship application (Question)

    Hey guys, I sponsored for my wife and we put in her sponsorship and also applied for her work permit. I was told that in less than 4 months after filing for sponsorship, she may receive her work permit. So, we filed on Jun 5, got Acknowledgment of Receipt on Jul 31. So hopefully we get her...

    PR Renewal - confused about what documents to include?

    Ok, and just to make their job easy ... it's ok for me to include grayscale and colour copies of pages that aren't clear?

    PR Renewal - confused about what documents to include?

    Great, thanks so much for all your help ramkris! One last question, does it matter if the copies are made in full colour? Or is there some kind of a rule on how the copies should be made? Also, page 23 has a sticker visa of another country that if I copy in colour - doesn't come out right and...

    PR Renewal - confused about what documents to include?

    But if I put the passport pages, then no need for the health records, right? I don't think I have time for health records to arrive because I need the card by Christmas so I can go out of the country around that time.

    PR Renewal - confused about what documents to include?

    In the document checklist of PR renewal, it is quite clear on what I need to add (especially secondary ID). But then when I read the instruction guide, it has no mention of a secondary ID. Should I follow the checklist, or the guide? Oh, and in the guide it also mentions something about scanning...

    Hey guys, Soooo... I didn't end up putting in the application that day as mentioned above because of some additional issues I ended up having. Here's my problem: In the document checklist, it is quite clear on what I need to add (especially secondary ID). But then if I read the instruction...

    Been in Canada for 3 yrs, but form shows I've been absent for 1428 days?

    Got it. By the way, thanks so much for your help guys. For my absence, the actual date of absence I was thinking of including earlier was: 2010-10-03 TO 2013-09-25 But if there's no need to list absences going beyond that, and given that 5 year span it would mean I would have to cut up the...

    Been in Canada for 3 yrs, but form shows I've been absent for 1428 days?

    Haha yeah but I did that to avoid overcomplicating by showing exact dates - either way, totally didn't occur to me that the dates got bundled together. I could probably leave the top line and remove the last two and I'm under 1095 days! My card expired in October 2013. And yes, added the bit...
