    To be on the safe side - I would have all things translated by a certified translator. But maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

    How I organized our applcation and a summary of all helpful tips I have learned

    I wasn't talking about photos in specific, just the 400 pages... And, I in no way want to offend anyone at all or discourage people that have gone to that much work.

    Police Check

    Hello - quick question: I was reading thru a 2013 thread about inland visa applications. One person said they received a request from CIC for police checks for all family members (siblings etc) that DID NOT apply for PR and most likely will never visit Canada. Does this happen often?

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I'm a Canadian citizen... Yes, we could have applied from outside the country but we had no $$. As it is, it is still frustrating that the wait is so long for couples (not just my situation, but all couples that have been married legit for more than a year or two).
