If your sponsor has family in Canada, they could call. Its really just a general question. They just need to ask where to send the money and how to mark the payment. They shouldn't even need your immigration file number for that. Give it a try. Best wishes. RGV

I wouldn't send it to Mississagua at this point. It might be difficult for Buffalo office to find when they require it. Have your sponsor call the CIC help-line and ask where to send it and how you should mark it. Safest bet I think. Best wishes RGV

My last visit was a month ago. I stayed there 3 weeks.. When I entered Canada, they asked me the purpose of my visit. I told them that I was visiting my wife and that I had already submitted an outland application for permanent resident. Of course they checked it out and confirmed it and...

Something else.... Once you are married and you apply 'outland', the border agents will let you come and go without trouble once they confirm that you have submitted an outland application. If you apply inland, you take a big risk if you leave the country. They will not let you return to...

I didn't say that you couldn't get in. An American can enter Canada as a visitor for six months at a time with just a drivers license and a birth certificate. Sometimes the border agents don't even ask to look at either. This happened to me once. (I am American also.) I suggest that you go...

It sounds like because your spouse ( who is the principle applicant) is living in Canada, immigration must conduct a criminal record check in Canada before she can be approved. Sounds like you are very close to completion. Best wishes!!

It is illegal to enter Canada as a visitor with the intent of remaining in Canada. The border people will not let your fiancee enter under those circumstances. Keep in mind that your Fiancee will not be able to work legally until late in the immigration process. You should take care to read...

There are some things to consider before choosing which route you decide to take. If you move to Canada and then get married, you can certainly apply for "PR" but you cannot legally work until late in the process. Plus, the "Inland" processing time is running much longer than the "Outland."...

I think your husband moving to Canada now could effect his future application. Though many people move to Canada prior to any immigration application and later apply for permanent resident status (In Canada Class), it seems to me that an immigration officer viewing his application might be...

I suggest you ask PMM. He's the Guru of complicated immigration issues. Just type "Help me please PMM" in the subject and ask your question.

Firstly, I assume that you are going to get married. Otherwise you don't qualify for 'Family Class Sponshorship Visa." Secondly, if you get married prior to your visit to the States, the Border Officers will more that likely deny the re-entry of your spouse. Application pending or not. If...

Thirstydeer is correct. However, although your spouse can sponsor you, you may not legally work in Canada until you have a Permanent Resident Visa or 'AIP'

The genuineness of your marriage will probably not be judged so much by the amount of time you've lived together as man and wife. Present your marriage license with your application. CIC may question the age difference but as I said before, provide everything you can to demonstrate an ongoing...

The CIC will view your husband to be as a 'criminal.' As you said, regulations require 5 years for rehabilitation. He cannot be issued a visa for visiting or living or working in Canada until the 5 years has passed. He would have to sneak into Canada and live and work illegally. If and when...

I don't know what the 4 months is about but getting married to a woman 20 years older will be suspect to the CIC and should be. I'm not questioning your particular relationship. I don't know you and its none of my business. I was married to a woman 10 years older that me. The CIC doesn't know...

Realistically. I can't imagine CIC allowing you to visit Canada on a TRV knowing that you have intentions of marrying a Canadian national. Once you are married, there are several other issues that arise that would give them pause about allowing you to enter the country. If you don't get...

She was just acknowleging that because I am applying "outland" that I am unlikely to remain in canada beyond my legal visitor status. Some people come to canada as visitors with the intention of staying permanently and applying for PR status "In Canada". Though it is legal to apply for PR...

The law requires that as a PR, you must remain and live in Canada for two of the first 5 years. Otherwise, you may lose your PR status.

I just crossed the border from the US. I'm currently visiting my wife in BC. When the Border Agent asked the purpose of my visit, I told him that I was visiting my wife. They brought me into the office and ran a police check and a check on my immigration status. They noticed that I had a 6...

I expect that the letter from Mississagua will just imform us that my wife has been approved. Once that Buffalo receives my file, I hope to get a response from them along with some kind of case number so I can check the status over the months of 'processing' ahead. Its been 11 days since the...
