    To fib or not to fib?

    You have the full right to tell the truth to the officer that your current plan is just a few weeks of vacation time, but "plans" change right ? ;D Your husband is allowed to stay in Canada up for up to 6 months, then he has to extend his stay which is a piece of cake. We had no issues, and were...

    Sorry, you are not a US citizen if you have a green card and you can not have a US passport with the green card.

    secret relationship can be ground of refusal?

    I think CIC only views hidden relationships as a possibility of fake marriage attempt. It does not matter if you are gay or not, what religion you belong to or what color is your skin etc. In their mind since you kept it hidden, you may have attempted a fraud, I am sure there will be questions.

They didn't even bother asking for her extended visitor stay visa SIN number is just a plain print out and COPR now has a stamp and...

    Submitting Outland Application tomorrow..... Need some advice...

    Absolutely, we did exactly that and my wife has extended her visitor visa while waiting for PR. just wanted to add this as well: This actually works towards your advantage, because you are living with your spouse already, chances of fake marriage are way less possible in such situations.

    You probably got some batch email from them requesting the meds when there are dependents present. They do the same thing for criminal record checks even if you have sent them already. That's why it is a good idea to order your file notes for 5 bucks before going hysterical at CIC over the...

    Crossing Border

    If I understand this correctly, your husband will require a visa regardless to enter Canada (if he is not from visa exempt country), the items you have listed is only support documentation.

    Can I be added to my husband's health insurance before PR.

    Same here, I have tried to add my wife to my benefits from my work, and it was declined. As for health insurance, we just keep buying Bluecross while waiting for health card (takes about 3 months after you land).

    How I organized our applcation and a summary of all helpful tips I have learned

    Sorry, a little bit to the side to the original OP message which is old - I know: This is what CIC office looks like after receiving tons of unnecessary documentation. They don't look for your organizational skills, resumes, unclaimed talents, hobbies or 500 pictures of pets you have owned...
