    Date and place of your last entry to Canada ?

    ...I was incorrect, then? :)

    Date and place of your last entry to Canada ?

    If memory serves, it's the one you used to enter Canada most recently...hence, your current visit :)

    Police Certifications

    By the way, here's the URL which explains all...I should have thought of linking this earlier: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cr-cj/fing-empr2-eng.htm EDIT: From the look of it, digital submission is NOT an option from agencies outside of Canada...but that doesn't preclude you from having them done...

    Police Certifications

    I got mine done (well, my wife's, really) at a private agency in Toronto. They did it digitally and sent the prints right off to the RCMP electronically. I don't know if agencies in the U.S. will have the same kind of direct line to the RCMP as up here, however, so it is possible you may have to...

    Canadian marrying an American

    Hello Adanna :) The US is a visa-exempt country, so there would generally be no issues with back-and-forth visits, even extended stays. An American can cross the border and stay up to 6 months in Canada, and you can apply to extend that. Your partner will likely receive a visitor record at the...

    This is true, although your application won't be denied or sent back if it's not there right off the bat; they will request it later. My wife was recently asked for it when she got her passport request, so we got it done and sent it back. HUGE hint of advice -- find an agency that will do...

    how many of you were declined after interview....

    I'm reading into it that this hasn't happened yet, that the OP is speaking hypothetically :) Still, with that said...mikeymyke's points are valid...just be prepared, and if you feel there's anything that might be a red flag, just be aware of it and be completely honest about it. As a old prof...

    1 of 103108 thread about Outland application, while staying in Canada

    Hi Lindt :) My wife is doing exactly that...she's been staying with me as a visitor for years now (we've extended several times without issue) while her PR application has been in process. We applied back in March, she got her passport request a few weeks ago, so we're hoping it'll actually...

    Getting new US Police Certificates

    Indeed. Fingerprints taken for this purpose are almost never kept on file (we have laws against it and I'm pretty sure the FBI does too). I did the same thing when we let our original police check lapse. Fortunately the fingerprinting agency we had gone to both times remembered us, took pity on...

    It's gotta be FBI, unless the rules have recently changed. I had to do the same for my wife this year. It only took about 6 weeks for me however. I don't think the consulate in TO will be able to expedite things either; it's not an FBI outpost :O

    Los Angeles Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    I think my wife and I are in the exact same boat too...they received her application back in March, and I got the SA early April, where they then said her application was sent to LA. I kept checking back at the processing time, heaved a huge groan when I saw it go up to 22 months, and then out...

    Police clearance, Canada

    Hello Jasminexyz, You likely don't need to submit it...just the police check of the country of origin. My wife submitted one from the FBI, and then recently we got back a request to submit one for the RCMP as well, which we got done (pretty quickly, in fact). I assume that is because my wife...

    APRIL 2013 Applicants!

    Hello NicAnn! Apologies for posting in this thread again, but I can't find the "definitive" March thread but there is a slight update for me. My wife received the request for her passport yesterday, as well as a request for an RCMP check (we had submitted an FBI check as she is American, but I...

    APRIL 2013 Applicants!

    Thank you NicAnn! I had April in my mind since that's the start of the "real" waiting period for me, but this works too!

    APRIL 2013 Applicants!

    Hello all! Funny enough I didn't stumble across this forum until today, but I guess I'll throw in my info as well, as I applied to sponsor my wife back in March and got the SA in April: VISA Office: Los Angeles Medical done: December 18, 2012 (I included it with the package) App sent: March 4...

    How Long Did It Take You?!..Spouse sponsorship from outside canada.

    I sent in the package for sponsoring my wife this March; my sponsorship was approved in early April and the package sent off to L.A., so I guess we're been going on 5 months so far. Taking a look at the Government website for the L.A. office they give a time of 22 months -- dear God! Funny this...
