    How i can Mail my sponsorship package

    We sent ours via Express through Canada Post, and paid the extra $1 for a signature. It only took a couple of days, and we were able to track our package online. If you send via FedEx, UPS or any other courier service, you have to send it to the following address: Case Processing Centre...

    Thread for applications sent OCTOBER 2009

    My husband and I mailed our application on October 7 and it arrived at CPC-M today. We submitted an outland application and he is a US citizen, so it will be sent to Buffalo once sponsorship is approved. Let the waiting game begin!

    Mistake on FBI Security Check

    By way of an update, I called the CIC call centre and the agent I spoke to said that we could submit the application with the incorrect FBI report as long as we included a letter explaining the error and as long as there was other documentation proving his real country of birth (ie. birth...

    Mistake on FBI Security Check

    I (Canadian citizen) am applying to sponsor my husband (US citizen). The very last piece of information we were waiting on before sending our application was the FBI security check. My husband finally received it in the mail today, but it mistakenly states that he was born in the Netherlands...

    Paying fees

    I have a question as well: I (Canadian citizen) am sponsoring my husband (US citizen) using the outland application. This means our entire application first goes to Mississauga, ON and is then sent to Buffalo, NY once I am approved as a sponsor, correct? So when the online payment service...

    What additional documents did you put in with your application?

    My husband (US citizen) and I (Canadian citizen) opened up joint accounts at the Bank of Montreal. I have been a customer with them for several years, so perhaps that made a difference but I doubt it. My husband was asked to provide two pieces of photo ID, and he used his WA driver's license...

    Did you provide joint accounts in with the application?

    You should be able to do this at any bank. My husband (US citizen) and I (Canadian citizen) opened up a chequing account and a savings account at the Bank of Montreal. They had all my information on file since I have been banking with them for years and they only asked for two pieces of photo...

    at my wit's end

    You would only need the record of landing if you are applying for a Canadian passport, which you cannot do until you have receive approval for permanent residency. You need to apply for a US passport. As Leon already suggested, talk to the US Embassy about getting your US passport.

    will this be a problem????

    Even if an account is disabled on Facebook, it is not deleted so chances are all the information associated with your partner's previous accounts are still lingering in their database. You or your partner might try contacting Facebook, and explaining your situation in the hopes that they will...

    Husband Visiting While Waiting For Appeal!!!

    He is allowed to visit Canada but since you are in the process of appealing, he could be denied because they might believe he will not leave once he enters Canada (especially if he mentions he has a job waiting for him in Canada). He needs bring and be prepared to provide as much evidence as...

    Submitting Emails and Chat Logs as Evidence

    My husband and I have a mountain of emails and chat logs to submit as proof of our relationship (along with other documents), but there are some some lines in our emails and chat logs that we do not want to submit (too personal). Can we black out the lines that we do not want the IO reading, or...

    My husband just requested a criminal history record from Washington, using the link provided on the CIC website. In addition to needing an FBI report, he's also required to submit a state certificate from every state he has resided in for 6 months or more. We sent in the request for Nebraska...

    Appendix C medical exam

    I'm just double-checking as well. I'm sponsoring my husband (US citizen) through the outland application. We'll be sending our forms for first-stage approval to CPC-Mississauga and his PR application will be processed in Seattle. So we should be requesting that the DMP send the results of the...

    outland application but IM 1344A confusing!

    I'm confused by something as well. In section C, question 6 asks for my husband's residential address. Then it asks "if the above address is not in the country of nationality of the person you are sponsoring, has that person been lawfully admitted for a period of at least one year in the...

    Can I get this changed? - Simple question.

    We asked after. We crossed by land (Pacific Highway in BC) as normal. The IO in the booth looked at the weekend-only restriction attached to my husband's passport, asked him when he was leaving and then sent us on our way. We then parked and went into customs to speak with another IO. We...

    Can I get this changed? - Simple question.

    That was me! From our experience, I would recommend speaking to an IO in person at the border crossing. It might help if you can provide them with some sort of documentation showing that you enter and leave Canada with no incident (airplane tickets?) or any other kind of evidence that can...

    last name

    I have also changed my name to my husband's last name and the majority of my ID's now reflect the change. I am a naturalized Canadian citizen, and I read that it can take 10 months for me to receive an updated citizenship card. Will I need to keep my citizenship card for the sponsorship...
