so I phoned CIC and got through and talked to a live agent and ... they're no help to me , all they do is quote the rules. My question: "What if I never receive a response from these incompetent police forces in the Philippines and Oman"? Her answer from my suggestion: "write a covering letter...

so because of these incompetent police forces abroad , police checks never get sent back? and because of that we can't submit our PR application? I don't think so. Why should I let some incompetent police force 8000 miles away ruin our lives. I'm submitting my PR application anyway with a letter...

I'm bumping this back up to the top ... I modified the subject line for clarity

everything's a "go" with a PR application I'll be doing next month ... except for a couple of police checks one is to the Philippines (with fingerprints) and the other is to Oman (with a bank draft to the Oman bank) I sent both of these in early February and I checked the tracking yesterday and...

wow, QuebecOkie, my partner would love you ... I'll check in with you for those links if all goes well. I'm thinking now maybe I'll do everything I'll do the PR application and the OWP which asks for evidence of the visitor status I'll do the visitor visa extension application and attach a copy...

little apple and ponga , thank you for this discussion ... and the links. Now if you will permit me, I'm going to ask a couple of stupid questions. 1) how does my partner apply for an open work permit? She will do exactly as Ponga has said to do: write (in big letters across the top of the...

hi spikey, I looked at the CIC website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=177&t=17 ... who can apply for an open work permit. The person who will be applying for PR is my soon to be common law partner who will have been living with me for (1) year next month and who has been...

the good news ---> I called their help line and spoke to a live agent in about 10 minutes the not so good news ---> I'm a little bit more confused now my case is simple. I'm sponsoring (next month) my common law partner on an in Canada family class permanent resident application. Currently she...

this question confuses me a bit and maybe tempts me to send a "Quebec Selection Certificate" before I should. this is not a refugee application , it's just an ordinary in Canada family class common law partner PR sponsorship application. Question 7 asks whether you have received your Certificat...

this is required to get a police certificate when applying for PR according to CIC but ... neither my bank nor Western Union know much how to accomplish this. a wire transfer will cost $40.00 which doesn't make sense I want to send a bank draft with the application but I'm not sure that will...

thank you so much everyone ... just a bit more info: it's an inland PR application and I have absolutely no problem with extending her visitor's visa over and over again. The only thing that worries me is if an extension application gets rejected somehow while we are waiting for her PR...

Background ... I am a born Canadian citizen and will have been living common law in Montreal with my partner for one (1) year by mid April 2014. She is from the Philippines and is on a 6 month renewed visitor visa status since Oct 2012 which next expires 30 May 2014. Near the end of April 2014 I...

thank you amikety wx-1 is a sort of work visa she was live-in nanny to some people here in Montreal but got fed up with the 24/7 schedule and no life of her own that's history though ... now she got her freedom

a simple question ... My girl friend from the Philippines has been granted a 6 month extension to a visitor's visa. She is living with me here in Montreal and I am totally supporting her. previously she was here for 6 months on WX-1 visa with someone else but that ended. due to circumstances...

I'm back. From the time of my last post a lot of new developments. I went and saw an immigration lawyer here in Montreal and she managed to get through access of information all the previous history of visa applications made on behalf of my partner. It helped ... a bit. To make a long story...

thank you Leon .. again I think the best thing is to go see an immigration lawyer. I'll make an appointment tomorrow and have her accompany me. Knowledge is power and she needs to have that power inside her. This woman has been used all her life. It makes me angry. It's time she takes ownership...

Leon ... thank you so much again just to clarify in my mind something about this ... my new partner is afraid of this professional couple. They said they will call the police if she leaves them. That brings up the question of who is in the wrong here? Is it my new partner for working illegally...

it's me Laurier ... you guys are terrific , thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into answering my concerns. Sharia Law ... never heard of that before but nice to know now I think what I'm going to do is consult a lawyer ... I want to do the right thing Just another quick...
