    So close, and now this... please please please help

    I need help. I'm not sure where to go for it. I married my husband in October 2010, in Toronto, ON. He then went back to his home country, and we've been working on the sponsorship application ever since. He called me in tears today. He was supposed to send his half of the application to me...

    FREE software for Filing-out and SAVING the forms

    I've seen the question a few times about saving the forms after filing them out on the computer. If you are using the free version of Adobe Acrobat (The pdf reader installed by default on most computers), as far as I know, you cannot save the forms after filing them out. There are FREE...

    If you are found ineligible to sponsor, indicate whether you want...

    So, the only 'right to appeal' you give up if selecting option 'A' is the right to appeal if the sponsor is found ineligible, but you maintain the right to appeal if the applicant is later denied?

    How strict is Imm. Canada with sponsorship instructions?

    I think the important thing to note here, is that if you are having a lot of difficulties obtaining a required document, there may be ways around it (like submitting without the document initially)... but that in any case you should try to talk to the Visa Office in question FIRST, in order to...

    How strict is Imm. Canada with sponsorship instructions?

    Because there is no DMP within 1200 km or so of my husband, I communicated with the Visa office regarding the med exam and they instructed to file without the med exam, and when they receive our application they will send my husband instructions and forms to take to any doctor in his home...

    Accompanying or Non-Accompanying?

    Applying as accompanying seems to make more sense .. it essentially only adds $75 to the application right? How long is the permanent visa typically valid for?

    Non-accompanying children

    Thanks for both of your input. We will definitely get the medical done in order to keep the doors open in the future, but the med exams will happen after we submit (we got instructions from the visa office to proceed in this manner). And as the doc and both of your comments suggest, she...

    Non-accompanying children

    We've been working on our application for a couple of months now. I was really hoping to submit this month, but that's doubftul now. The main reason we are delayed is because my husband is trying to 'track down' his daughter, who is living with another family. He needs her to take her to get the...
