Hello, My wife is approaching 30 days from the expiry date of the 6 month visitor's permit she received upon arriving in Canada. As we are in the midst of our process still, we would like to apply to extend her stay another 6 months while waiting upon the decision. I called the number on the...

Many temporary visa restrictions prevent people from enrolling at educational institutions or working. I am not sure what you mean by study English but many places may wish to see a PR card. If you just mean, be in an English-speaking country and soak in the culture, then that won't be a...

Hi guys, Yes I found it odd too that proof of communication would be asked for if we have been living together for so long. As I mention there were no emails or letters or anything written, just photos, so this may have been the problem. They are probably accustomed to receiving at least...

I cannot comment on your situation but I can tell you about how my wife got her 6-month permit. Basically the special visitor's permit or "6 month visa" is something they give to people who have PR applications in the system. Before receiving it at Pearson Airport I had received approval as a...

You're welcome, good luck getting the Option-C and with your application.

Interesting, there must be some international agreement there. The MOT here in Ontario did not confiscate my wife's Japanese license, whether by mistake or intentionally. Maybe if its outside North America they don't want the burden of returning it.

Hi all thanks for replying to my long post its greatly appreciated. canadianwoman The process is a bit foggy to me now but I think explanation of the development of the relationship entailed a written paragraph in each of our respective background forms. I did write details there, as did she...

Can't speak for BC but in Ontario my wife kept her foreign license. They are the property of foreign governments by definition, I'm not sure any other country has the right to confiscate them.

I cannot speak from experience but I would imagine getting photos taken correctly and sending them by trackable courier to your processing center with a letter of explanation is the best bet. The photo has to be verified by the photographer, so emailing things probably doesnt work.

I forget exactly what I did. I think I called one of their numbers as listed on the CRA website. If you call, your account (SIN) is required for them to look at your file. They will transfer you to someone you can speak to. Eventually I did speak to someone at CRA and they were very helpful...

Your will have to complete all tax returns (T1) for any incomplete years in order to receive an Option C. Even if you make a low income and don't pay much or any tax, this needs to be indicated via the Option C. The Option C　is a form indicating all records (tax returns)are up to date with no...

Hello all, I have a question pertaining to proof of communication. Sorry for the long post. Here are the facts in a nutshell. 1) We met in October 2012 but did not start dating until Feb. 2013. We saw each other here and there at local spots around town. We were just acquaintances. 2) In Feb...

Thanks for the replies. I will try those! Rob_TO thanks a lot for the information. I will check out GCMS notes in December using that vid. Never knew we could actually view the whole process like that for $5, amazing.

Just to close up this topic and for further reference Bought a one-way Air Canada ticket for my wife and I. Advised by travel agent we may have problems boarding. But, no problems at Narita Airport when checking in at Air Canada counter, Terminal 1. (boarded together) No issues with CBSA upon...

Actually... I feel a bit silly now. Upon closer inspection of the Sponsorship Approval letter it clearly states that CPC Ottawa was selected from the beginning. "Should you need to submit additional information or make any further enquiries regarding the Application for Permanent Residence...

Thanks for the replies guys this sounds like it is, at least, not bad news, so .. this is good. To be honest, our file wasn't complicated. We are legally married (not common-law), my wife has never resided anywhere but Japan and myself nowhere but Japan and Canada, tons of translations, tons of...

Hello all, I am applying for PR for my wife. I am a Canadian citizen, she is Japanese and I have been approved as a sponsor. Our case was accepted at the end of July, and I was approved at the end of September. We arrived at the beginning of October and she gained entry on a 6 month visitor...

Relationships have ups and downs. It is not necessary to tell them about every little argument you had, unless for example, you had an application in the system, then cancelled it due to this 'unpleasant experience'. People I think, tend to look at their situation too subjectively sometimes...

Hi all, GCMS notes, this is the first time I have heard of these. Where do I order them from? The outland office or the local office? Or is this something I can get through the online portal? Yes, if my wife is rejected for OHIP I will certainly want it in writing so as to make a proper...

Hi all Thanks very much for the replies. Rob_TO: Thanks for the link. It seems that the intermediary step for inland applicants also exists for outland, in this case being called the AFP instead of First Stage Approval. I will have to inquire at Service Ontario about getting them to interact...
