well done for getting the system to work for you :-) which province was it? we are in ontario. part of the problem we were told by the registrar's office was that the application was already in the system.

UPDATE ON EXPEDITING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND OBTAINING A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE hopefully someone in the same situation will read this and be forewarned about what is required. we called the registrar generals office in thunderbay. it's a freephone number. we faxed a 'proof of urgency' to...

as for the lawyer. i've paid half the fees and i am in a contract. seems like i have every right to get out but it's almost done now. her lack of interest in the case extends to never having remembered my wife's name correctly.

thank you. we are so far in to the application, we literally have everything ready and are now just waiting for this damn certificate. i am going to be proactive and try and get the certificate fast tracked first as well as look into extending the temporary visa. i really thought we were getting...

We got bad advice from a lawyer which means our spousal visa application has been delayed until we get the wedding certificate. We were married here in Canada and we had been told it was the licence which we had from the ceremony that was needed for the application to go ahead. We have now been...

We got it all sorted at another branch of TD. I've been added to my partners account. From next month you will only need 1 piece of ID.

Hi I am a UK citizen in canada on visitor status. I am trying to open a joint bank account with my Canadian fiancee in ontario. Canada trust will not accept my birth certificate as a second piece of ID because it is from the UK although they will accept my passport. They have not been able to...

thank you for clarifying.

With the changes in the application procedure, as I understand it, everyone now goes through the same online application procedure, is there still an inland/outland distinction? Most importantly does an inland application still not have the right to appeal?

Hello. I am looking for a law firm to assist in a spousal visa, pull everything together and take away some of anxiety and uncertainty. We are based in Hamilton, Ontario. If you can recommend a good law firm that would be greatly appreciated. How much should I expect to spend? Kindest...

Is the information in this post still applicable. There have been a lot of changes since the liberals reviewed the process. Do outland and inland apps still get treated differently if they are going through the same online application procedure? Specifically regarding the right to appeal.

how did your applications go? my partner and i are also using whatsapp, skype, email and facebook messages as evidence. have any of you had feedback from CIC on what is required?

thank you. 1) i am arriving as a tourist with the intent of being married and applying for PR through the spousal visa program 2) i have a return flight and sufficient funds to cover that time period. i would ideally like this time period to be 6 months. 3) i intend to extend the visa to allow...

thank you. i have heard it suggested that inland and outland will be merged. i don't see how processing times for inland can be reduced from approximately 27 months to 12 months without a significant input of resources and officers looking at applications. just changing the application procedure...

I am arriving in canada from the UK in 2017 to be married to a canadian citizen and applying for PR through the spousal visa program. one of my anxieties is the arrival itself. at the border i understand that i need to demonstrate that i have sufficient fund to stay, an itinerary, a place to...

in 2017 i will be arriving in canada to be married and applying for PR through the spousal sponsorship program. i will be applying for an open work permit along with the spousal visa application. i am from the uk which is a visa exempt country. as such, how does that effect the application for...

i am arriving in canada next year from the UK to be married to a canadian citizen and need some advice on the medical examination required for the spousal visa and when to have it. i currently understand that the medical does not need to be included with the initial application but that it will...

thank you for your answer and your time. i will be arriving in canada to be married and apply for PR through the spousal visa program which i understand has been reworked and is being changed on december 15th 2017. currently i am led to believe that a tourist visa extension request must be...

i tried to post a link from voiceonline but it would not allow me to do so. it backs up what you are saying and details some of the improvements to the system. this is very promising. i have been monitoring the news for the policy that would back up the government's commitment to allow families...

thank you. you are very kind to have taken the time to answer. that is very reassuring. i am having a breakdown dealing with all the variables. the biggest variable is the immigration officer at the border and their discretionary powers. i need some certainty so that i can plan ahead, present...
