If you chose to do an inland process, you will actually prolong the application process. Yes, you will still be required to have a medical check done and also an FBI check. If you are living in Canada, they will want to do an additional police check for Canada. The entire process of an...

In Canada, legal age is 19 years old. He may not be eligible to sponsor you. You really need to check that out before you make your plans or submit documents or fees.

There is no legal relationship that qualifies him to be sponsored by you until you are married so you must be married before you fill out your application. He must have a passport when you submit the application. He must take a physical from a designated medical doctor and submit the proper...

Thirstydeer, that is excellent advice!

If you are an American, you can enter and visit Canada for up to 6 months. You just need to be able to get your mail and be able to respond to CIC requests that may come your way from time to time.

what kind of updates are you talking about???

Does anyone know if the immigration processing usually experiences a seasonal slowdown this time of year? It seems to me that things have slowed down in the last 45 days or so. But it may just be that I am getting a little anxious. Thanks!

Hi. You can get a pretty good idea by checking out this website www.trackitt.com click on Canada and then click on "Family Class" It shows cases that have been completed and the times they took.

My 'family class spouse' file was transfered to Seattle for "expedition" purposes. Since then, Buffalo has been finalizing applications left and right whose AOR dates are later than mine. It seems to me that if they wanted to expedite the process, they should have finished my processing in...

Here are some examples www.trackitt.com. Just click on 'Canada' and then click on the immigration class that you have filed under.

Hi. It is suppose to take between 3 and 6 months if you file an outland application and could be over one year if you file an inland application.

I understand. I don't have a clue why they issued you a visa. Next time, just present your drivers license and have your birth certificate and the visa they gave you handy. Just give them what they ask for ( which will most likely be your license) and if there is a problem hand them the visa...

You are a woman. It may be that old "double standard." As a man, if I was a border agent and a woman attempted to enter Canada alone, I might suspect that her intention might be more likely to get to her husband or boyfriend and stay in the country. Some men and/or women wouldnt be used to a...

Here is one option. You are married to a canadian. Your spouse can sponsor you for permanent residency and you can remain in Canada while the application is being processed. However, you will not be permitted to work legally until late in the process which could take over one year. I'm not...

You might want to reconsider what you are doing. If you submit an 'outland' application and then travel to Canada, you'll have to return to England during the process as all of your correspondence will be going through the Consulate in England. (ie. paperwork, interview, passport stamping and...

Will 2008, If you are currently married or have lived together for the last 12 months, you can apply both for sponsorship and permanent resident from right where you are and remain together while the processing goes forward. You can both go to Canada and submit the application from within...

I don't think it matters to CIC. However, the inland application process can take longer than a year. Keep in mind that the results of your medical exam will expire after one year. Many people are required to det the medical done again. (more money.) I suggest that you wait to get the...
