95% chance it won't work. You will get turned away and will have to return home. Especially if you don't have any money in the bank.

They take your passport to put the visa permitting you to land in Canada in it, it is usually no more than 2 weeks or so depending on the office. Once you land in Canada then you get a PR card.

I have my fingers crosed for everyone... we expected it to be fairly quick London has been moving well - but this is like, mind boggling! They had our app for 3 weeks! It's so fast we are not ready, my husband is just finishing up his degree - He'll come for a visit in March to land and go...

It depends on your officer. Sometimes people get there apps returned for silly oversights, like foregetting to sign the back of a photo or something. It really depends on the officer.

Hi a_larae3, I think what everyone here is trying to say is that there is no simple answer as far as what you can do. Immigration is a long process with a lot of ins and outs and decisions that no one else can make for you. Here is what we can assume about you. You are a US citizen, coming...

We are in absolute and total shock. I'm sitting here having my morning coffee and reading my husbands PASSPORT REQUEST!!! We couldnt be happier :)

Hi Juice... For the 2 following questions... Are you just visiting your spouse? Or are you living there. If Canada is still your home and you have an address there, then you are currently living in Canada, you're just abroad for a visit. (my husband was with me in Canada when we filled out...

Ex's are a pain. I've had to deal with my son's father several times. My advice, as much as it sucks. Try RobsLuv's approach, if that fails lawyer up. That'll learn him :P

Thanks RobsLuv I'm pretty sure that is the case, but has anyone had any experience with London specifically?

Hi Again All... We sent an updated passort copy to the London office... I'm wondering if London updates ecas to say they have received updated docs? or meds? I've heard some offices are good, and others not so much, at ecas updating....

My husband is in the UK and they were pretty thorough. He had to bend over and cough. They will not turn you away because of depression. They are only looking for medical conditions that will cause abnormal strain on the health care system. Like AIDS, heart disease, diabetes and things lke...

Legally, you don't have to change your name on a passport until it expires. I sent everything in in my maiden name but filled in the forms with my married name. No worries, they get that it takes a while to get it all changed.

try the call centre first.

Here is the closest explanation I can find... it's for students, but it's the same paramiters. They have no work permit. http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/study/institutions/work-volunteer.asp I believe you fall under here:

We opened an account at CIBC for my husband and I... the clerk looked REALLY confused. But he had an international passport, that is enough ID, don't let them forget that...
