Use a courier service as much as possible, there are several reasons for this to be the desired method: it's generally faster, safer and you can most probably track the package to its destination using the provided tracking number. As for the choice of visa office, CIC will determine which...

As of November 1st, 2012, the old Appendix C (IMM 1017) is no longer required by CIC. It was posted in a bulletin here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob471.asp I believe in the OP's case all he needs to do is to appear at the DMP or panel physician's office for...

It will not be possible for you (or necessary) to obtain an Option C printout from CRA since you have stated that you have been living overseas for the last two years and probably have not filed income tax in Canada. The Option C is only available for income tax filed for the previous year, so...

Just to add to Rob_TO's response, the certification is called an affidavit (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#3900E3) which is basically a text where the translator has sworn in the presence of a notary public or other official (can be done at a Canadian...

No need to if you're only sponsoring your husband or wife and his/her dependent children (if any), as long as those children don't have children of their own.

COPR = Confirmation of Permanent Resident is the paper document showing your entitlement to live in Canada permanently subject to certain conditions. See this page for some more info: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/apply-after.asp#confirmation Notice that you cannot land in Canada...

You want to maximize the validity time of your wife's medicals, which is 12 months from the date they are performed, because once the PR visa is issued, its own validity will match that of the medicals! So, I'd recommend leaving the medicals as the last thing to get done before submitting your...

mc1234, i must have missed it, sorry if you've been asked this before, but were you asked to submit any additional documents by the VO after your file was transferred? or was it a smooth run from there to the finish line at PPR? I wish you that the remainder of the process is a speedy one!

congrats, mc1234, that puts you in the six month mark after applying and three-month mark after file transfer to VO! I think that's good timing. here hoping that we all benefit from similar VO efficiency!! Good luck to all.

In our case for example, my wife does not have complete addresses to two of her brother/sister, but she knew the town name and country where they...

WantToBeInCanada, are your wife & daughter Canadian citizens? from what i've seen with other cases from El Salvador there seems to be an average of 5 months processing at the VO, at least that was the case for processing in Guatemala, and I think Mexico can be a bit faster. Ours is also going...

Yes, your wife (or you) need to contact the nearest DMP and find out their fees and other requirements, such as photographs.

yes, you still need to add the Right to Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) which is $490. This can be paid later but you can avoid delays by paying it upfront. Application Fees are the same irrespective of which country you're applying from.

oscar, you send your documents to the PO Box 3000 address (<a href="http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#3900E6">the first one in your post</a>). I'm assuming you're still working on the Federal immigration portion and will later submit the Quebec application...

Oscar, you select "applying at an office In Canada" because you're sending everything in one package to the Case processing Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. so make one single payment of CAD $1040, the online tool will ask you to print a copy of the receipt, you will then fill out the receipt by...

It only applies if you and your spouse will move to the province of Quebec once she's granted Permanent Residence. Depending on what you select for questions 6a and 6b, all the other boxes will be disabled or not, so just respond accordingly.
