Well you are in the right place =)) How long did you live in Russia? More than 6 months I assume ... The thing with the Russian police certificate is that you have to be there in person to get it, sound disappointing at first, but if you have friends living there you can use the all-Russian...

Oh we Russians know ways =)) haha

I will do number 1-3 and apply to vet school ! But on the serious side, here is a link that might help you organize things http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/index.asp It is pretty good. Enjoy, Raccoon =))

Hello, well basically you can do whatever you want with the money, as they are not looking for proof that she will return to the US when assessing your PR application. About wiring money: it can be a bit expensive to wire money and each bank has their own rate, so shop around before doing so...

Did you sent your application already? If yes: contact whoever issued the certificate, ask them to correct it and then contact CIC explain and send the correct one (eventually it will save you time, as nobody knows what's on their minds =)) If no: do step one and send in the correct copy to...

For some reason I think PMM is right, at least it certainly seems so ... we have been living together for 3 years and just celebrated our 4 year anniversary, still our application was sent to the local office for additional checks or whatever. We did not get married yet because of some family...

Same thing happened to me, they sent my application to the local office on January 20th, 2010. Till today I have not heard from them (2 months), however today an officer called my partner and requested his conformation of permanent residence (?). So I guess they opened my file, finally =)). I...

Hey! He is just a my lab mate =)), we work together, his wife is from Indonesia. They will give you a legitimate reason for not allowing you in. The thing is, then you apply for a temporary stay (work/study permit) you "promise" the Canadian government to eventually leave, by applying for...

Well, you did it , the letter will say if you are approved of denied .... Cheers and good luck, Raccoon

exploring relationship does not really indicate your intention to stay (people break up all the time =)). Many people have done it and it is absolutely OK. Cheers, Raccoon

Hello there! I would personally not take the risk, because a wife of one of the guys in the lab did go out after applying, and she had big troubles coming back. She did come back though, but it is a pain in the ... So it depends on the officer, if he/she is nice no problem, if they are normal...

Hello, 10000 only includes actual cash, all the other goods are declared separately. Cheers, Raccoon

Yeah, we technically should enjoy it .... my life currently sucks =)) and the ironic thing is that my thesis is in Psychiatry, specifically on Prozac, so I know all there is to know about the artificial happiness =)) Cheers, Raccoon

Local CIC offices are the ones near you (in Canada), like in my case Saskatoon. By the way PMM, do you know how long does it take for the Saskatoon office to process, because 2 years sound very scary.... and I would rather withdraw my application and apply outland. Thank you, Raccoon Going to...

With 20 000 you should declare it when crossing the border and you will have to pay a tax on that. However if you will be crossing together with someone, then you can split the cash in two , each of you has 10 000 , then you don't have to pay any tax. So if it is possible, do it, save some money...

Hey, my BF is currently doing his PhD at U of Saskatchewan. Not many ppl know about it outside of Canada but it is one of the largest in Canada and plus they pay pretty damn good scholarships here (18-25 K/year for PhD and 16K for Master's), so you don't actually have to pay. The cost of living...
