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...

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...

Yes, you can continue to work in the U.S. once you get your Canadian PR. However .. if you don't spend 2 yrs of every 5 yrs in Canada, you will lose your Canadian PR.

Yes.

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...

Leigh - what is your status? Are you a U.S. Citizen? Are you a U.S. green card holder? Are you just visiting the U.S.?

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...

PRS, Sorry I missed your post. The FBI only needs 1 fingerprint card in addition to your payment and application form. tg

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.

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...

You should wait and not contact them. Remember some people don't hear anything for years. The last thing you want is annoy the people who are considering your application. tg

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...

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.

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.

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...

Don't worry about "everyone" so much. ;) tg

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

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...

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...

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
