This could help: "Permanent resident travel document (visa counterfoil) for permanent resident without a Permanent Resident Card (see Appendix I, item 4). Permanent residents outside Canada who do not have a Permanent Resident Card and who would be unable to otherwise return to Canada may...

There's a waiting period of 3 months before you qualify. See here: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ohip/ohipfaq_mn.aspx Depending on where you live in Ontario, you can go directly to a Service Ontario centre, there's a list here...

This is just a guess, but it seems like the Vancouver office processes cases they have in backlog, going by the office's name in CIC's website: Backlog Reduction Office (BRO). Presumably, once your file has been assessed in Vancouver it should get transferred to Ottawa for final processing.

Re: Got approved You probably mean the Ottawa Case Processing Pilot office (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/ottawa.asp). I believe some PR apps formerly transferred to Buffalo are now going to Ottawa. Yours may be one of them. Mississauga is where the Case Processing...

Since you are sponsoring your wife and daughter, you most likely have entered "2" in box 3 of IMM 0008 form in the Application Details section, therefore no need to list your wife's name in 6a. of IMM 5481. That box is reserved when a spouse is not the principal applicant or is not part of the...

As a child born to a Canadian parent, your son qualifies for automatic Canadian citizenship. You need to apply for a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship, the link to the forms and guide is the one you were given in the response letter from CIC...

If you read the Guide (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#3900E7) it says: If there are any changes to your family status such as: . marriage; . divorce; . births; . deaths; or . any other important information. Then... inform us immediately by email at...

The eight photos you're talking about are the Immigration application photos, you need a set of 8 for each family member you are sponsoring! If any member of your family is already a Canadian citizen you don't need to sponsor them, neither will they need those photos.

I don't think is a bug, but an indication of the date (month/year) when the new form came into effect (July 2011). The form has gone through some revisions after the initial release (July 18, 2011), so nothing surprising there. I wouldn't worry about it either, as it's the accepted form for...

thanks, ferd. that's awesome.

Reading through the CIC website i came across information indicating that the Mexico City Visa Office is now the one responsible to process applications for Family sponsorship for most Central American countries. Has anyone heard about this change? When did it become effective? Would our files...

I wouldn't read too much into those processing times. They are not predictive, they're merely statistic, meant to illustrate what has happened in the past, in this case, how long it took for 80% of cases to be processed "between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012". Remember each case is different...

thank you all!!! ;D

KJG, thanks. that's nice and dandy.... when you are in Canada!! I however live outside of Canada and need to ship medicals back, so can I use the courier address (2 Robert Speck Pkwy... etc.) or do they definitely want it at the P.O.Box??? the problem is that I definitely want to use UPS, it's...

When you submit supplementary documents (like new meds) where do you send them to? They requested new exams and they included an address label to be affixed to the envelope when I mail those, but I'd rather courier the documents to make it faster, is that ok or do I have to send the docs to the...

Nice. congratulations, montrealsnow and everyone of the Junes who got approvals!! Have a great weekend!

congratulations smvi. Have a speedy VO process! any news from montrealsnow?

Thanks for sharing, it's a great story and it all goes to show you, as CharlieD and others said, that you must be careful and KNOW who you marry. Don't expect a third party (CIC, a judge, a priest, etc.) to make up for your bad decision. If your marriage doesn't work, then live with the...

smvi, good job you've done with the spreadsheet, especially the color-coded rows showing the progress of each applicant! For everybody else, and to keep us busy (if you're not already) let's share on any good books you are reading or have read: I recommend this one, coincidentally on...

yeah, that is Sponsorship approval. Congratulations.
