    IA RECEIVED - but does not make sense.. please help!

    Well it seems clear they have you confused with someone else. Maybe you should write them a letter explaining what does/doesn't seem accurate, and attach a copy of the IA letter. They're pretty busy and one mistake in the thousands and thousands of applications they receive is bound to happen...

    I Work From Home and Have an Online Business - Can I move to Canada?

    Here's the link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-nopermit.asp#business You might be able to call yourself a "business visitor," but if you don't have your main place of business in the U.S., that blows the deal. Doesn't matter where you're registered - matters where the work takes...

    Can Medicals be done from native country?

    Yes, you can get your medicals done in India and have them sent to the U.S. As long as your exam is performed by a doctor that's approved by CIC, it doesn't matter which country you get it done in. CIC will try to accomodate your circumstances with respect to an interview location, but it...

    wife denied visa

    If the house is of significant value - say $150,000 - and your wife owns a third of it, that should help. And it should also help if your wife has a bank account and significant funds in her name. She should also be prepared to prove her family relations in China such as parents, children, and...

    Does a green card holder in the US needs a visa to Canada?

    You don't need a visa to enter Canada. You'll need to show your Alien Registration Card (green card) or I-551 stamp in your passport. It might be a good idea to carry both.

    wife denied visa

    For whatever reason, you didn't convince the visa office that your wife would return to Shanghai. While your job, new marriage, and role in supporting her might fill-in the picture a bit, they're really looking for her to qualify for a TRV on her own. To do that, she'll probably need to own a...

    Herpies Simplex

    I don't think it'll be a problem because Herpes is a common disease, and if they were screening for it, they'd have to deny about 40-50% of American applicants. I haven't heard of that happening, so I don't think it's the case. Also it's not a degenerative disease, and it doesn't cost a lot to...

    I need advice...

    Rojita, You should speak to a Canadian lawyer. Canadian law is different from Mexican law, and there is a good chance that your husband must still support you.

    Must I stay ?

    1. Usually 1 year from the date of your medical exams, but possibly shorter. 2. No, you have to reside in Canada for 2 years out of every 5 to maintain permanent residence.

    How long is the wait?

    Hi Cindy, 1. The wait time depends on which office you apply to, whether you include all necessary documents early on, and whether the visa office wants an interview. So it's difficult to estimate the wait time. 2. No, you can't wait in the country without a visa. 3. There's no difference...

    TRV Application

    Not "necessary" but it might help. More important are showing the ties to your home country - house, family, job, money, business.

    Family Sponsorship/Military Service

    If your immigration lawyer hasn't said it would be a problem, and PMM has said it won't be a problem, why are you still worried? Your husband will still have to fulfill his enlistment commitment to the U.S. military. He doesn't get a free ticket out of the Navy just because of becoming a...

    Initial application documents(I am in the US applying at Buffalo)

    Police clearances are valid only for 6 months. Medical exams are valid only for 12 months. That's why you should wait to submit these until towards then end of the application process - so they don't expire if there's a delay. CIC will send you a form for your medical exams as well as...

    receiving passport requests while outside of Canada

    PMM, I have a follow-on question to Mah's. If CIC requests a passport for final processing of permanent residence, how long does it take to get it back? Thanks, tg
