Oh yes and proof that you can support yourself and/or somebody will be supporting you on your extended stay.

Everything except that which doesn't apply. If you are an Australian Citizen at birth then your passport and passport pages will suffice. A copy of your current immigration document. The application plus the checklist and a copy of your online payment receipt. I don't think they ask for any...

The document you are referring to is related to an individual that the leaves the country awaiting the PR card. They would have to visit the Canadian Embassy to obtain this document to re-enter Canada. At least that is what I believe you are referring to.

This is not really an interview, it is simply a formality. When you receive your letter it will detail what you need to bring; which is the letter you received notifying you of the interview date and time, two photos, passport and the sponsor. The sponsor will need to provide photo id. They...

My husband and I went on vacation in November of last year while he was in the final stages of his PR. He had no problem getting back in the country with his Open Work Permit although as everybody knows it does not guarantee re-entry. When it does become a problem is when the PR is granted and...

I recommend doing whatever is the quickest way to get your status renewed. I don't think uploading is a problem. I have always made sure renewal is done 30 to 45 days in advance because I am not a person that does anything at the last minute. If you and your partner are seriously talking...

If your partner is willing to support you while you stay here on the visitor permit then it shouldn't be a problem with the Canadian Government. In the visitor application it asks you how you intend on supporting yourself if your visitor permit is granted and that answer would be by your...

Re: Tired of waiting? I have an idea...but we have to do it together! I don't have any opinion with regard to whether this is or is not a good idea but for those of you who have been waiting a very long time I can tell you the best way to deal with this is to try and keep busy. Although this...

Just pray your file doesn't get transferred to the local office prior to AIP, then you will really be waiting, possibly an extra 4 months to 2 years. Many of us have had that experience and it isn't pleasant.

I always tell people that before they make the decision about marrying somebody in another country, be certain that you are willing to have your relationship in any country where you can be together. In our case, the reason my husband came to Canada was because he is a long-distance truck...

I don't have any first hand information about whether or not the Strike is affecting applications but it is my understanding that there are always delays during summer months. Maybe they have changed their policies about going through applications and this is why it is taking longer, who knows...

Re: REASONS FOR REFUSAL My husband and I met in October of 2011 online and then met in person in December of 2011. I went to his country for a visit. In January of 2012 he came to Canada for a lengthy visit, which he was questioned about at the border. In February of 2012 we married. In...

Apply for a visitor permit. Application to change conditions to extend your stay in Canada. I think it is $75.00. I don't know how long they are taking now to process but it doesn't matter. As long as you apply for it prior to running out of status, you have "implied status" and they will...

Hi Brightstar, I have heard conflicting information with regard to this topic so I cannot be of any help with you on this one, sorry. I would start a new thread and ask for advice from one of the more senior people that are regularly on this forum.

To Brightstar: Your valid immigration document such as Visitor or Work Permit (if you have one of these, they have sent it to you as it has to be an original) They definitely sent you a letter to let you know that you received your AIP. Those are the documents that were issued to you by the...

Hi Brightstar, If they are asking you to bring your passport as well as your immigration documents then this is a landing interview. I am surprised they didn't send you the invitation by mail however, maybe they had an opening and didn't have time to mail it to you. They will ask you a couple...

To Brightstart: It is a normal procedure to transfer a file to a local office after AIP. The average time for processing second stage of the application is 8 months. Since you received your AIP in January you could still be waiting a few months. If you call the CIC they will tell you where...

They are asking if she has met any of your relatives to date and when she has met them. That is at any time during the relationship before sending in your application.

You are safe with the certified copy.

Does anybody know how long it takes to get the PR interview or approximately how long after the security checks are complete contact is made by the CIC? Thanks.
